Review on 🎡 JBL Professional C29AV-1 2-Way Premium 8-Inch Indoor Outdoor Monitor Speaker - Black: Power-packed Audio for Exceptional Sound Quality! by Ronnie Segobiano

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Amazing outdoor sound!

Love love love these! I bought 2 for my garden and installed under the awning of my house over the back porch. The sound from these speakers is the absolute best combination of clarity, power, range and affordability, period. In my opinion Jbl has really improved this market sector, if you compare one of these speakers to a pair of Bose 251 speakers for example, they cannot be compared, jbl have a much better product. That is of course my opinion. I also find the bass performance and response to be much better than other 'consumer' speaker offerings, but Klipsch definitely has a 'higher quality' sound (expensive Klipsch floorstanding speakers), JBL is loud, clear and full of what, me think it's to be expected from outdoor speakers. I was planning on using a suitable subwoofer with these speakers as I wasn't expecting too much bass from them, I was very wrong. While they might not be ideal if you're listening to rap, electronics, or other heavy synth bass music, these speakers' bass is very clean, punchy, and fairly deep (my ear tells me it's useful in the 40s, but might be wrong) and very musical. If you need a lot of bass (and don't have neighbors around) you might want to check out the 30 knob or add the SB210 knob. Another thing worth noting is the really cool built in protection circuits, which you WILL NOT have with a consumer Find. Class speakers contain real lightbulbs that will "burn out" or withstand excessive current if you turn the volume up too loud without affecting the sound too much (at this point you should be pumping pretty loud), which gives me plenty of peace of mind when loud friends play my music. Another point I think is worth mentioning is the maintainability, these speakers are easy to disassemble and service. If you accidentally break a woofer or tweeter, or just want to replace the grille, you can purchase and replace just the component online, rather than having to replace the entire speaker like you would with most consumer speakers. Oh yes, they even work in the rain! :)

Pros
  • Outside speakers
Cons
  • Big and chunky
