Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great quality and look to these speakers. The whole stage 2 lineup is great

I set the JBL 250B speakers up with the JBL Stage 2 245C center speaker and the JBL MA710 receiver and have been very happy. I wanted something affordable but that would also provide better sound and flexibility than a soundbar and this family of products fit the bill perfectly. I’m using the rear surrounds, sub and ceiling speaker (set as Atmos) that I already had and after calibration have been very pleased. I’m not an audiophile by any means but for my purposes this setup sounds great!

Great flat response curve that allows me to EQ music to my tastes. Excellent clarity and volume with a turntable and small Class D amp.

I chose these over the KEF-550s, which cost 3x more. I've had these for a week, but I ordered the KEFs over the weekend. I own JBLs. I have a mini-bookshelf pair sitting under the big TV powered by an SAE 50 watts/rms/ch amplifier. The TV has RCA outputs. I am also getting my wife to bring down my JBL Northridge Series N26II speakers I bought 22 years ago from Best Buy. They have the same specs, but I think they sound much better. I'm swapping these with her for the N26's. My KEFs will be arriving on Thurday. I have a Rotel Power Amp/PreAmp combo putting 100 watts into 8ohms/200 watts into 4 ohms. They were powering a pair of Magneplanar SMGs, but I appear to have damaged the right speaker. I didn't want to spend 3Gs on new replacements. Don't get me wrong. These speakers are okay, but for God sake - it's JBL. I recall the legendary JBL 4301s from the late 70s or early 80s. I chose the B&W DM400s over those. I was poor back then, but I wish I could have owned the JBL 4301s too. Cheers.

I have owned 4 different sets of bookshelf speakers so far and these have blown me away. Out of my 4 sets these have by far the widest range of highs and lows, being able to fill a room, as well as absolute awesome clarity.

Great sound from a bookshelf speaker with clear highs and solid lows for the size. Beautiful finish and solid construction of the speaker cabinet. Would work well in a medium to small sized room. Came well packaged and easy to setup. Paired up well with a good amplifier for loud but accurate highs and mid range.

Decent speakers that look pretty good on the shelf. Online reviews weren’t that great for die hard folks but they sound good to me and were a really good value.

I PULLED MY 80'S KENWOOD STEREO OUT OF STORAGE & NEDEDED SOME NEW SPEAKERS.......... THE JBL STAGE2 SPEAKERS SOUND FANTASTIC !! MY OLE KENWOOD SYSTEM IS ALIVE & WELL !! NOT TO MENTION WORKING IN THE SHOP IS AN ENJOYABLE EXPERINCE TO SAY THE LEAST. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND JBL PRODUCTS...

This pair of JBL bookshelf speakers live up to the JBL reputation. They provide a good balanced sound for their size. I have them connected to a Pioneer Receiver- Amplifier VSX - 515 and NAD CD player. I love the sound. I do plan to get a JBL bar speaker to boost the surround sound. Love these little speakers.

These may be small, but they put out a loud of sound and it sounds good! I’m a music producer with thousands invested in high-end studio monitors and these are great for testing after-the-mix versions. Yes, they are not studio monitors, therefore designed differently, but for listening to finished tracks or vinyl or CD’s, these pack a good punch of great sound. Well done JBL!

They look super classic and High end. I got the one in Latte. I like my speaker with the grill on. Easy set up, Excellent sound Quality. Would love to have floor speaker with JBL in future.

Great sound at a good price. I would say the one thing that sets them apart is clarity

Great sound clean look nice speakers, I put these in the garage but they worked great in the house too

Solid pair of bookshelf speakers. I appreciate the magnetic grille piece. Great sound when paired with the center channel as well.

These speakers are clear, and provide enough power to blow my ear drums. great speakers

haven't had them for only about a month as surround sound speakers to go with the rest of my jbl stage 2 system with the ma310 reciever very happy with the system for my needs

These speakers sound excellent, and they fit very neatly on my bookshelf. I've never had JBL speakers that were anything other than excellent.

Quality is great. Fills my office with clear audio nicely.

For the price, these sound AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great speaker, works well and has great sound quality.
