We have had no complaints from this speaker before. Did you purchase your speaker on Amazon? I would call JBL tech support.

I am questioning this purchase. My son uses it for vocals. It used to sound better but now it is all Bass. I suspect the high frequency driver is blown and am in the process of replacing ($80).Does it produce quality high frequencies at all? If not, may be the same issue.

You need to be careful where you place them as the Bass can reflect on the walls. you also have to check the button at the back and let it flat instead of "boost". If you will use it often in the same place you may think to analyse the reverb frequency and use an equalizer to remove the bad frequency.Hope you like them as much as i do !

Freaking awsome Yeah in some tracks the bass is to deep and the high is very good a

Speaker placement and the nearby surfaces can greatly affect your perceived bass. Also, be sure the polarity between the amp and the speakers is the same - if it doesn't match, less bass.

I connect them through a home theater receiver/amplifier! After having them for several years, they are OK for the money but can be a little bassy for my taste.

Solution: break in time. I've had 2 pair and both were incredibly muddy/heavy bass out of the box. Audiophile friend suggested breaking them in. Hooked them to a receiver and played music at moderate listening level through each of them for a few days. Result was incredibly wonderful sound - best headphones I've ever had. I've had them for over one year and love them more each day. Listen to them daily.

I used bi-wiring, which separates the high and the low frequencies. The bass is brought out by reflexing through the bottom. Nothing wrong with the bass on these speakers.

Found them to be tinny and overly bright,not good for music but Ok for the price.Build quality and fit very good.I usually use in-ear Etymotic Research ER6($250) or on ear Grado P500($500) and use a tube headphone amp,so I'm used to some of the finest headphones made.Have also owned a pair of Stax SR Signatures($13000,not a misprint).You might check the Fischer Silver Bullet V.2 in ear ones sold by Mapleshade(shop.mapleshadestore.com).Have not heard them,but if Pierre sells them they have to be good for $65.L Hernandez-The Stereo Shop

I would check three things.. is there enough bass.. is the sensitivity adjustment correct and is the master / slave switch in its correct setting. Mine came with it in slave mode and I had to switch it to master.

Hi Robert, I keep the volume at 1/4 and probably at 1/2 for bass depth. I like bass and most of my music is Jazz and Latin...however my space doesn't warrant any more bass. I would try different settings...depending if on a wood floor, concrete, carpet and the likes...curtains can also absorb sound....also placement so best to experiment. Mark

I found my set to be very balanced in sound. In my old unit, the bass distorted at high volume. This unit appears to balance the bass with the other sounds. Could your unit be defective?

they dont seem to. I dont turn them up too high though, so I may not have encountered that issue because of that. The bass sounds good to me...and I listen to ska music.

I have small in wall speakers in my house. They sound great, but I also Have a zone2 with old yamaha floor speakers that sound equaly good. Get the best you can afford. I also have an Epik 2x15 empire sub. Best purchase in my life. expensive but well worth it.

I agree with Ron they are meant for a studio setting which means the sounds are deep and rich but don't carry very far. I would suggest looking for speakers that don't have "monitor" in the name.

The manual recommends experimenting with the distance to the wall as moving them closer reinforces the bass. This effect was noticeable where my speakers are located and they are 4 or 5 inches from the wall.

I put a set of these speakers in the front doors of my Pontiac Vibe (stock stereo system, and not the high-power Monsoon system) and I was not thrilled. I picked up some high end because of the separate tweeters, but I feel that I lost some of the bass. Maybe they would be better if I had an amp on them, but... in my opinion... they aren't really any better or worse than the stock paper speakers that were in there.

I guess you could say that. They separate the frequencies from each of the speakers so it should sound a little more crisp and clear. I put them in my Sony 3 way floor standing speakers. Works well and hooks up super easy! Make sure you get more speaker wire and connectors to rewire your speakers.

I would recommend a small amp for the clarity. They sound real nice, no sub needed unless you want a little thump.
