Well this is definitely the first time I've ever seen a combination of a retro joystick and mouse to play Battlefield.

4:30 LMAO, I love this guy.

This is literally the best review I've ever seen. Keep doing what you do, 10/10!

Even if you‘re a studio guy you gotta love this review! 😄👏🏼

Great job on the video man. You've bought some of the best speakers you can buy for this price range and what you're using them for. The people that know something about audio can clearly see that you're new to audio don't mind what the others say! You'll learn more about audio in time once you study

I did a similar setup with the JBL 306 MKII ... Speakers were 129 each and jbl subwoofer was 239 ... on ebay. Haven't hooked up the subwoofer yet, but the speakers are amazing. I'm hearing instruments in songs I never heard before. I have them hooked up to a KLARK TeChnik Bluetooth unit so that I can switch instantly between my TV, Imac, Sony MP3 players, phone or internet radio .... They're amazing. I'm listening to stuff I heard and loved as a kid like they're new versions. Thanks for your video.

So, I think it's pretty obvious you don't have a history in audio, and you're just giving your personal review of your new speaker setup in the only way that you can, with the frames of reference that make sense to you. In which case I can take this and applaud you for giving it a go. For the rest of us who may understand a little more about the intended use of these speakers and the environment they'd be used in, I too was expecting a little more clarity (pun intended) but give the guy a break, he obviously hasn't learned about acoustics and perhaps never been shown. We all goof sometimes.

I run the same pair of monitors through my 8 channel M-audio interface. And they're used exclusively for video editing, and audio mastering. They sound fantastic. I was just looking to see if the sub was a worthy addition... and I found this. hahahaha. It's entertaining at the very least I suppose.

never saw a controller set up like that for a fps. Nice. I master music with those JBLs. Incredible bargains they are.

Thanks for listing the components, especially the cables. Cheers!

Great Video man, you nailed it! Appreciate the accurate and honest review with a comparison and everything. Respect for the setup friend, keep doin you

Im dead!!! You maxed out the bass on the sub, turned down the high frequency on the speakers and then went in the eq and maxed out the bass n then rattle proofed your room!! Lmfao!! ☠️

Thank you so much for this! I've been using headphones for years & finally got these JBLs as my first real monitors/sub. Your video and links to the cables needed really helped me out! Much appreciated!

You saved me alot of experimentation with your video and the setup numbers you provided. Thanks! I loved your mock-up speakers and the enthusiasm they represent.

I didn't know Woody Harrelson reviewed JBL speakers.

you have everything set so bass heavy!!!

I really think this is spot on for most of this. Not by actual knowledge, but i watched this video to start my setup. I think the only thing different is i actually opened my daw that i have been working on for some time. I opened kontakt and immediately realized that ......nothing is on my wall any more! Yep, full volume will not work. Flip side i no wondered how loud this thing hits the decibels read "" Oh Hell NO"! So I am no audiophile yet but let me explain, My teens my friends ford bronco had 4 kicker competitions with 1500 watts a piece from the 4 amplifiers. This Bronco's bass hit so hard it caused the bolts holding the topper down to rattle loose and like a scene from Fast and Furious the eject occurred and down the road the topper flew. So yeah when one single 10 inch woofer hits and brought this moment immediately to mind. . So............... I would suggest if your into music production to use the daw to set your sound levels. Outside that this video was the draw point for me buying this magnificent decibel destroying cave mongrel from a wet dream. Cheers and best of luck.

Cool to see this comparison. Since I used to have the Klipsch and now I have the JBLs. The Klipsch were great and lasted me awhile I loved the low end. But the JBLs are what I use now.

I love how the first thing you play with your crazy new setup is some 8bit audio from the emulator 😁😁

Thanks for the review. My 20+ year old ProMedia subwoofer finally blew out the other day and I’ve been looking for a replacement. I was so disappointed to learn the new version is neutered. Found a great deal on some used 305P MKII speakers and plan to add the sub when I find a deal on it.

is this guy a troll?

Hey FunBubble, you can eliminate this hiss by using balanced inputs. I have an audio interface and use balanced inputs and get no hiss even at max volume. I use the Focusrite Scarlet Solo personally

Love your videos! Especially your DIY!!! Great stuff!!! You crack me up with your thoroughness! Keep it up!

Move the speakers a little further from the wall and it will greatly improve the experience, great speaker choice though!

Super like, finally someone who went to the point!

Made me laugh, but thanks for giving it a go I cant even start saying you're doing that wrong, it would sound better if you did this, Keep up the good work. 😉

An arcade stick? Never seen that before. That's cool.

Well how to connect only speakers via aux cable to mobile etc.

I had a pair of logitech z623s. A similar 2.1 setup and just upgraded too to the JBL lsr308s with the JBL lsr310s subwoofer. Love them so far.

Get yourself a dac, turn your sub down to half, power conditioner, perfection

I have both sets. For the money and for watching movies from my desktop, the Klipsch promedia 2.10 is hard to beat.

Thank you for your review! In your opinion, do you think that only the two speakers (without the subwoofer) are give enough bass for movies and general music? (Obviously, the bass will not be the same without the subwoofer, but is it acceptable)

This guy is just fun and cool lol. awesome review!

Do you think this is much better than my old 2014 klipsch kmc3

Great demonstration and numbers video. i loved the graph! Charleston S.C producer and audio engineer.

I used an NHT PVC Mini passive preamp in my initial setup. Computer to Preamp to Speakers and Sub. I'm assuming JBL suggested to come out of the sub to the 305's. On a side note the 305's are sooo good that I pulled out my old Lexicon DC-1 Pre Processor. As of this writing my Lenovo Computer, Sony CD/DVD, and Sangean digital FM into Lexicon DC1 out to the JBL's. Wowee.

hey good video! clean setup. Is your stereo effectively added by outputs L and R on subwoofer to the satellites then, since its only 1 3.5 out on laptop? maybe it kinda looks like 3.5 to 2-1/4 splitter cable?

Hello. Thank you very much for the video. What is the input sensitivity option in the back of the speakers for? I have the Scarlett 18i8. How should I set this feature? Thank you.

Bet your neighbors love the live battle war sound coming from the vibrations wall. All you need are head phones or poke centerline audio speaker in front and a 20 buck 15” sub used.

I don’t think I would buy this setup just for gaming. I have a pair of JBL 305p and they are amazing quality for their price. They are not meant to be used for gaming but for producing music and mixing.

Thanks for this video. I love how you compare the actual size of the JBLs to the Klipsch PM 2.1. I've had two PM 5.1, and both amps lost the center channel, and one having annoying buzzing noise that gets louder as you turn up the volume. Installing a cooling mod didn't help either. I'm thinking about going with the JBL MK308s but I'm still undecided. I love the sound of the Klipsch PMs but the build quality/reliability is very poor.

hi, pleas give me link on the cable two 6,5 jack TO 3,5 jack where you bought it the website, thanks

Nice & Thanks :)

that classic mouse! logitech mx518

eliminate hiss by getting proper 1/4" cables. you want the tips to have 2 rings on them

Consider building your own PC for gaming. It's easier than one may think & the benefits far exceed mere gaming - there are many sites/channels to aid one's build but I too would be happy to assist in any area if required. I'm sidetracking myself; I too have JBL305s (great little speakers) & I was plagued by EMI/RMI for some time. I spent quite a few quid on cables, unnecessarily expensive MOBO (Japanese capacitors/shielding) Etc. but ultimately, least for me, the problem was solved by upgrading my DAC (SMSL M300 MKII) - Night & Day. I wish someone had pointed this out to me or that'd gleamed this information myself but after purchasing a DAC initially, I wrongly presumed my problems lay elsewhere & there are many audio rabbit holes for those of us who aren't familiar with the world of Audio. So, in conclusion, I recommend you try out a few DACs from Amazon & you can easily return ones that don't eliminate the EMI but you'll also appreciate what they'll do to your system overall.

Can i plug the aux side of this cable in my phone's headphone jack?

Is this Woody Harrelson? ;-)

Excellent

Can you connect any woofer to these? What’s the connection?

Yo do jbl 305p mkii hiss .I really want to buy them but heard that they hiss a lot do they??🤔🤔🤔

I heard you can't mix with Klipsch (Spelled right ion)

Hi! How are you? I just bought the same ones. They sound great, but have a lot of hiss noise, without even plugging in anything. Simply by plugging it into the power. Do you have a similar problem? can you do something? greetings and thanks! .

I was thinking about the Yamaha or a Sceptre monitors but JBL is also a good monitors but I like it facing upside down so that my tweeter aims to my ears and not the woofer. According to cinema sound.

Are they shielded so the magnets don't mess up your computer screen? Jeff

damn dude so clean

Stereo 3.5mm TRS to dual 1/4 "TS cables are balanced to connect these speakers

Thankssss so much!!!😁😁😁😊

Nice job.. thank you

hello, a question, I'm interested in jbl lsr 305, the previous model to yours, and I would like to know if you can connect directly to the pc, or if you have to connect some audio dac or some external device is that I do not know if connecting them directly to the pc, there are some problems of metallic noise or some kind of problem, I do not understand a lot of audio .... do you recommend them? Greetings

Will be good the Jbl 305 mark II (without woofer) to listen tidal master from my pc with my dac ifi black label (external) in my bedroom?

Thanks for this.

Lmao the hiss part

mate, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do yourself a favour and get yourself a Yamaha AG03 Mixer w/ USB Audio Interface. Speakers plug into the mixer through XLR cables, then subwoofer plugs into mixer/USB Audio Interface with TRS cables, and then mixer/USB Audio Interface plugs into your PC/laptop via USB. The soundcard on your laptop is sooo very subpar to be driving that setup!!

? Do they sound good for listening to music becouse people are saying they have a flat tone response I have the klipch 2.1 pros and on my 3rd set and you are right about the earlier models being better with more power and punch. But I am looking for something with more power plus quality stereo sound for listening to music on my computer. And with a flat tone im shure I could use a EQ on my onboard sound card which has been upgraded are do you recommend a DAC.

Thank you

Arrrggghhh, that setup only to demo games ? These gears are meant for pro or at least enthusiast use.

Bro you should get an external monitor

You should never daisy-chain surge protectors.

I bought a pair of JBL 306 MKII studio monitor 3 days ago, i find speakers volume is too low even after keeping 100% volume in my computer and sound card. To be exact, i got 0 to 10 gain level in each speaker . So in my speakers volume is starting only after 2 gain level in each speaker below that its mute and good volume is coming only after 6+ gain level. So is that a manufacturing defect ? Do i need to replace it from the seller ?

If you wanna elimenate hiss, get some balanced trs cables with a proper balanced dac. No hiss lol

You can afford a whole jbl setup but not a pc

only onoe speajer works when i set it up this way

Use a DAC to remove or significantly reduce the 'Hiss'

if i buy the jbl speakers do i need to buy any cable to connect them to pc?

You have the same speakers as me both the klipsh and jbls lol

balanced 1/4".

Is the hiss unrelated to the cable? that would drive me crazy

Could I plug my phone into these speakers or do I need professional equipment?

Get yourself a UPS battery backup to protect your investment...

Hii!! I have a question. The subw makes noise when it is on, ins’t it? Thanks

This video is halarious.

you're using the laptops in built sound card? damn what a joke

if the sound is so good via the laptop headphone jack, you wouldn't really need an audio interface right ?

Sounds like trump sometimes lol

mine dont have the hiss at all

How do you have everything plugged in?

Love from INDIA

That shit bump or what I’m trying to make some cuts cuz

Get yourself a power conditioner it takes the ground loop away

Youve never heard raindrops?

You're getting the hiss because you have all 3 speakers are all plugged into the same power circuit. I eliminated mine by buying those 3 prong to 2 prong power adaptors which eliminates the ground prong, or a ghetto move would be to yank out the ground prong all together. Try that.

How did I end up here?? I was looking for studio reviews on powered monitor systems, not gaming LOL. BTW.. there's much better speakers for gaming out there.

really ????

The 310s sub is just too damm expensive for these monitors.. I got a 220$ monoprice 10" sub to pair up with the 305's and it sounds great!!

Congratulations everything you did was wrong for making music 😂

LoL using it for gaming.
