Love the dynamics !!
Kevin from Colorado Springs, CO on 2/21/2021
What a pleasant surprise!! I was replacing a set of old Bose Companion 2 speakers, looking a more dynamic rich sound for home mixing of my music. The quality and clarity of the sounds was awesome! Lows are full and well articulated (as a bassist), there were songs I could hear the pick hitting the string. Highs are well defined and clean, not sharp or "hissy". The music over all had space and location filled correctly and accurately. It's wonderful to have a speaker system the brings a new joy for every song I listen to!!
Pros: Clarity of sound Rich lows for small size Visual appeal
Cons: Using XLR cables can make it difficult for speaker placement as the stick out a a ways.

Clear and Crisp sound!
Ricardo from Vega Baja, PR on 6/21/2020
Clear and crisp sound! Excellent studio monitors! tight bass, but not bold which is good for recording with instruments. Heavy for their size! Seems to ve very well constructed and that would last for long time!
Pros: Excellent size, clear and defined sound, controls are easy to use, heavy construction.
Cons: I would like more volume/power but don't get me wrong, the speakers sound great!

A terrific solution
Raymond from Macedon, NY on 6/20/2019
I wanted an upgrade to my cheap Office desktop speakers. Very difficult to choose speakers without listening to them. After way too much research involving way too many choices, I zeroed in on these 305s and a couple of other (more expensive) choices. Then I spoke to Rusty at Crutchfield and we discussed these and my other choices. Interestingly, Rusty, who has his choice of many speakers since he works there, owned a pair of the 305s and he said they delivered excellent audio. As we talked through my requirements, the 305s checked every box. So, with stellar reviews from research, Rusty's heavy-duty recommendation, the fact they were on sale (AND also an available open box) in combination with Crutchfield's liberal return policy and excellent customer service, I bought a pair. Result = great audio at a great price in a relatively compact package. Superb price / value / performance package. Broad sound field and the bass delivery is surprisingly robust and crisp. Highly recommended, both the JBL 305s AND Crutchfield.
Pros: Superb audio
Cons: None

Great JBL Monitors
Tim from Houston, TX on 1/17/2019
Excellent JBL 5-inch powered monitor. On sale - price is right. Even worth the value at normal price. The bass is a light but still acceptable for sound or mixing, unless you need deep bass mix. I also bought the 8-inch on sale as well. 8- inch has better full bass response but cost more. The soundfield has clear stereo imaging, even if off axis to one side, I could still hear the other channel sound with hard panned mix. I compared sound with older JBL LSR 305, about the same to me.
Pros: Full sound image or dispersion. Full sound frequency. Bass response is acceptable but maybe not if a deep bass mix is needed. Great service. Excellent packing and shipping.
Cons: Opt for 8- inch if a deep bass response is needed.

Nice small monitors
Z from Headland, AL on 1/9/2019
Very nice monitors for low to medium volume level listening of mixed program. Cannot handle just piano monitoring without distortion, but that is typical of most small monitors. Beautiful finish, high quality feel and well packed.
Pros: Fit and finish. Good size.
Cons: Distortion with louder / dynamic piano signal.

Fantastic Sound, Huge Value.
Bob from Syracuse, NY on 12/11/2018
Excellent, excellent sound. Clear and crisp highs without fatigue. Excellent bass that is never lacking. Remarkable value. They do push a lot of air, so for best application at loud volume, leave room for the rear port to breath. You may want to pick up a set of 90 degree adapters for tighter applications at lower volume.
Pros: Beautiful sound, build quality, and I love the look.
Cons: Depending on the application, you'll need room for the rear port to breath.
