Review on JBL Professional Reference Bluetooth JBL104 BT WH by Bryan Crayton

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Small annoying problems prevent them from becoming great.

I don't want to give a crazy review, but a few notes: The volume is --- not as loud as other studio monitors. Ironically, they're only loud(?) over bluetooth and you can't run your guitar through an amp simulator and hear them in real time when using bluetooth as there's clearly a delay. Quite annoying to be honest. Bass --- He is. It won't shake your house, but it's plain sailing IMHO. Clarity --- Alright again. The most important thing and totally irritates me; The speakers go into standby mode after not receiving a signal for a while. So let's say you're playing a YouTube video after nothing has played for a while, the speakers need to wake up before they actually play audio, and it literally takes about 6-7 seconds into the video before the sound even appears. There is no way around it and it is very annoying. Although they look cool.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Zero

Very pleasant speakers for both general listening and bedroom production.
