If you plan on setting these speakers on a shelf or mantle, the sound quality is awesome for the price I paid. I bought mines refurbished. I would not have paid over $300 for this set, simply because they are literally impossible to mount on the wall. The wire connections on the speakers are only large enough to accept the very thin wire that comes with the speakers I attempted to use a thicker gauge wire, but the gap was not large enough. Trust me on the mounting of these speakers, it's a nightmare and I am pretty handy and I gave up. As much as I like my speakers mounted in the corners high up on the walls, it's not going to happen. The speakers look nice and have a nice weight to them.

WOW WHAT EXCELLENT SPEAKERS. I KEPT MY SAME RECEIVER AND CHANGED TO THESE SPEAKERS. ITS LIKE NIGHT AND DAY. TREBLE, CYMBALS, HI HATS, ETC, SO CRISP AND CLEAR, SAME WITH VOCALS WOW. BEST IS I GOT IT for $170 on sale, and got 2. WHAT A DEAL! CANT GO WRONG FOR THE SALE PRICE. MY EARS ARE SO HAPPY. I KNEW THEYD BE GREAT BUT I WAS STILL SURPRISED. ID CONSIDERED MYSELF AND AUDIOPHILE AS IVE HAD MANY EXPENSIVE AFTER MARKET AMPLIFIED STEREO SYSTEMS IN MY VEHICLES, MOST I INSTALLED MYSELF BUT NOT ALL. AND I HATE PAPER SPEAKERS OR ONES THAT DONT PRODUCE LIFE LIKE SOUND. WITH THESE YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ARE IN THE ROOM WHEN THE RECORDED THE MUSIC LIVE OR IN THE AUDIENCE WHEN THEY SANG LIVE. (YOUR A/V RECIEVER EQ OR ROOM SETTINGS WILL CHANGE THE LISTENING ENVIRONMENT BUT ANY GOOD ONE WILL SUFFICE. THESE SPEAKERS ARE THAT GOOD. YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED EVEN AT FULL PRICE! THANKS JBL! AND THANKS FOR THE STEAL OF THE CENTURY WITH 2 610's for $370.

this is a great sounding speaker but the wall mount system is lacking, I had the 135Si system and they had an excellent mount that was fully adjustable in that you could direct the speakers from left to right, this mounting system allows no directional adjustment and required the purchase of an additional bracket set

I bought these about a week ago to replace an old set of JBL surround speakers that I owned. These definitely sound great and the subwoofer really pounds. I turned it down quite a bit because there was too much bass.

I bought these for my teenage son to upgrade his old hand me down speakers for his birthday. We are both very impressed and happy with the sound quality and clarity even at higher volumes. Games and movies are much better than before.

I recently bought it for my new home theater setup and it completely suitable for that with great sound quality. You could hear every beat and subwoofer is pretty dense.

Bought this on sale about a week ago,before I came home from a trip and I'm happy I did lol.Each small speaker is a lil bigger than a flip and more heavier like the subwoofer witch fires downwards btw (yeah the bouncy part is underneath).But other than that the crispness and power of the little buggars is bananas.At first I had it switch to my ps4 and the fade/transfer of sound from one speaker to another is like.......scary cool lul diagoulge and voices are very clear also.So I put some hivement by FLERO and Vasily and man there is something about that woofer that really kicks.Haven't jamed out like *THat in a while so hats of to jbl,fr

These speakers are basically not mountable. Says they come with a mount...they really don’t, it is more of a small Junky bracket on the back that will not hold. Also the Junky bracket makes any other speaker wire worthless besides the poor quality enclosed wiring. Also, the screws provided don’t even fit into the center channel speaker also making it not mountable. After market wall mounts don’t exist. Lastly, and the reason for 1 Star, one of my satellite speakers housing is completely upside down. Making the JBL logo upside down and the tweeter in the bottom. This also would make mounting impossible if mounting was ever possible in the first place. Long story short, I promise you will be disappointed.

This is my first time writing a review but I felt like I had too. I got these last Friday and OMG I am in love with them. I have had plenty of Home Theatre systems(Bose,Klipich,LG) and these are the best. I purchased them so I could enjoy football the way it was meant to be, but now I am legit writing you this review as I am playing a game in my PS4. It is like I am in the Arena!!!!!!!! The base the chanting of my name for MVP, the music in game I am smiling and getting that tingling feeling that you get when you think you are cool lol. I turned up the volume earlier while some music was playing as I went to the kitchen and the music was so loud and crisp with the perfect amount of bass I was thinking about how it would sound if I had a house party. If you are looking for a Home Theatre System that does it all this is it. Don’t waste your money anywhere else!!!!!!!

After I received my order it took a few days for my receiver to come from another source. When I finally got it all hooked up I noticed 1 of the speakers did not work & 1 cracks when turned up to 50 on the volume knob max is 80. Immediately sent a notification on the JBL website & haven't heard anything back yet. It says someone will contact me within 24-48 hours & it's been 4 days.

I have to agree with the other reviewer, the sound is great for the price. It looks good too, but the wall mounting "thing" is garbage. It would be just fine with a threaded screw hole, but no, it has this plastic clip-on thing on/around the wire connector, so that if you use a thicker speaker wire it won't fit, and it is pain in the butt to get this to work with a wall mount.

I bought a few weeks ago and the speakers sound marvelous. I’m really enjoying watching action movies specifically because of the surround sound dragon.

I bought this audio system for my home and I actually like it. I have not had less expensive systems but this one is worth to give it a try. I Connected it to a Denon AVR?X1300W and it works fine. The only concern I have about the system is that I do not know if I used the correct speaker wire to connect it. The wires that come with the system are not very long so you have to buy your own cable. I bought the 18 gauge speaker cable so I do not know if that is the correct wire I should have used. The speakers do not sound loud when the volume is below 70 (out of 100. For me to feel the real home theater experience I have to turn the volume above 85. I think this is because of the receiver or the wire I used, I do not know. Anyways, the speakers do deliver good sound and when turn it up, it is nice. I give it 4 stars because It does not include wall mounts but instead 4 poor wall anchors and screws and because it lacks specifications about wiring to use. Summarizing, I am happy with it but you know you always want more. Give it a try.

I connected this system to an amplifier (Pioneer vsx-531). The sound is amazing but the subwoofer is very powerful, clear and deep, it shakes my whole apartment. Very powerful bass. Of course, you can adjust bass volume on the back of subwoofer.
