Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of JBL Duet Speaker System for Portable Music and PC - Aluminum (Pair)
Customer Review: Nice speakers at a good price
Summary: 5 Stars
I wanted some external speakers to use with my iMac 24" computer. These speakers had good reviews, the price was right (under $40), and the aluminum trim was a nice match for the iMac. The hookup was trivial, and they sound perfectly fine when used with the equalizer controls in iTunes. Without an equalizer, you might not be as satisfied. I wasn't expecting audiophile level sound with this setup, but I'm very well pleased with these speakers for computer and iTunes use. No regrets, I'd buy them again.
UPDATE: I'm using these speakers with an Apple iMac 24" computer. After connecting these speakers, iTunes began to randomly open and play music or podcasts from my iTunes library. I researched in on the web and sure enough, connecting external speakers to an iMac can cause iTunes to randomly startup. I believe this is caused by a poor connection to the headphone jack on the rear of the iMac. On closer observation, the plug from the JBL speakers wasn't making a solid connection to the jack on the iMac due to interference with the plastic on the plug. I was able to trim this plastic with a pocket knife so that the plug would fully seat in the jack. No more problem. I think the iMac also uses this jack for earbuds with a remote control, and a poor connection to the remote interface maybe at fault.
BOTTOM LINE: If you are using external speakers with an iMac and iTunes begins to misbehave, look closely at the plug on the external speakers.
