[ / zeospantera ] -- Yes, I have a twitter
I have the 104 bt version and they are even better than the originals because they have input selection on the front and the option to have all the inputs playing at the same time which I like because I can be gaming on my pc or console and then connect to the speakers wirelessly with my phone and play my own music while gaming.
To be fair to JBL balanced 1/4" TRS is actually very common in the pro audio environment.
Yh most of the market probably have those cables for guitars or mics or whatever
I’ve been searching for the perfect speaker for my needs for 5 years. This one gets closest and picked them up for a fraction of the cost. I have literally looked at 2 dozen different models. Never thought I would be buying JBLs
Ben Blanc lol i love jbl man . The bluetooth speakers headphones... ive been making beats on regular speakers and people have been buying them so i figured i would give these a try since they were on sale for 70 bucks today down from 130 ... cant wait to make beats on em
And the reason that JBL put balanced quarter inch inputs in there is because some of us will be using them as studio monitors. We will be going back-and-forth between our Urei’s or our Genelecs or our Dynaudios, and these, while we are building mixes.
Just picked these up from B&H for $50...love them! Can't think of another pair of desktop speakers that would sound this good at $50.
are there any better alternatives today?
Connect this to a LG phone with quad dac or any good dac and you will be impressed. Accurate, neutral, enough bass, clarity in mids, decent soundstage..all good qualities for a set of monitors. It’s intended use is about 4 ft away from listening position on a desk that is 10” from wall. You will get very good imaging from the coaxial drivers and the bass will sound punchy and full as long as you use them as nearfield monitors.
they sound like the look ... smooth and well rounded ... lol
JBL reviewed your review very carefully and added BT later 😂
"I'm a bad reviewer." - Zeos, 2019
Good Guy Bad Audio Reviewer?
i watch this review with jbl 104. love these pair so much. somehow better detail than my previous Audioengine A2. the only problem i have with these speakers is, easy to roll down, that rounded shape is tricky for some angled speaker stand
Have to go back to late '60's, early '70's to when JBL last produced a coax driver.
My Beyerdynamic HPs would look good sitting on these 104.
Hey man this is the best review of these monitors. I really can appreciate the low end. Thanks!
I don’t even know why they would pull you, you’re helping a lot of artist’s like the gooye song I can’t stop listening to it from the ls50 review.
5:59 this is exactly why you are the best reviewser of anything ever.
And that right there is why I'm hovering over buy in my Amazon cart.
That's eye-opening...
That suppository actually has bass.
So I don't even have to introduce it into my bass, it already comes with its own included?
Rumble your Grundle
Picked up a pair of JBL L100 Century yesterday at the Goodwill for $10. Sounds great.
Mike Hancock no way
No freaking way!! Once in a life time find!! Enjoy
Mike Hancock , fuck me man, I never find shit any fucking place. I've been searching thrift stores & Goodwill stores for decades. FUCK, FUCK.
Congrats on ur find
Good for you for finding something that good.
I picked up a set of Sony SS- MB-150H bookshelf speakers @ a thrift store for $3 in excellent condition, ripped out the 3.3mf capacitor on the tweeter and installed $15 of crossover parts in them and installed 5-way binding posts on the back . For $25 invested they sound WAY better than stock. At the same store a month before I found an infinity 10" powered subwoofer for $10 that just needed the polyfill stapled back to the top and the port glued back in place. Made for a cheap bedroom system powered by a Nobsound Bluetooth mini amp.
Damn you, Zeos! yet another item I now "need"
Very "real world" informative yet hilarious! Thank you for the headset stand idea, awesome! 🤣
I got the JBL Arena 130 on your accord! Love em!
Z... These vs Micca RB42 for desk use? I know you said the JBLs are good paired with the Echos. They are the same price right now and ther RB42s are back in stock (thanks for the tweet!). Driven by a Topping MX3 (if it matters).
Both work. I think the RB42 are more impressive.. But you need an amp to back that up so add another $100 for an SA100 or SA98 or go higher with an Emotiva A100
In sound performance, these mini JBL monitors would be an absolute JOKE compared to the RB42 driven by a relatively-powerful and/or Bluetooth-capable amplifier. Since you already own the MX3, the Micca speakers would be an excellent choice.
@@mattrismatt can a jds atom drive the micca speakers? i use my jds atom/d10 for my headphones atm
@@ffdfdfdfdfdfdfdf No, you would need a speaker amplifier to drive the Micca RB42 or any passive speakers. Are you looking for a pair of speakers for your desk? If so, what's your budget? What kind of sound are you looking for from the speakers?
@@mattrismatt I'm from the UK. I have a budget of around £200-250 for the 2 bookshelf speakers and an amplifier or active speakers if that route is better. space is VERY limited at the moment on my desk so im not sure where they will go or how i'll place them.. likely on a shelf.
I could see my work desk sprouting a pair of these in the relatively near future. I'd rather get Miccas but I'm in Europe, and then I'd have to get an amp too.
Can't wait for the Edifier R1700BT review as they are about 10 dollars cheaper than the JBL ONE-SERIES 104 on the German Amazon
the r1850DB that i have are absolutely fantastic
Jbl one series on sale for 70 bucks today bro !!! Just got some they come in a few days
The monitors are now $71 usd on Amazon! Not sure if that’s gonna last, but if you want to pick them up, now’s the time!
Grayton Newman Just got them from Amazon. They really sound good . Pleasantly surprised but coming from JBL it’s to be expected I suppose
I almost got the iLoud Micros a few weeks ago at 199. I just got these JBLs for under 100.(Amazon open box price). They're getting their own pelican case and coming with me on trips. Thanks Z!
Boss
How do they compare?
Thank you, Zeos. I learned a new word today!
Lol they actually have a bluetooth version. Going to buy that for my desk soon
1:04 **These look like suppositories.**
Oh no Zeos, don't... Don't even think about it! We all know of your kinks, bu these are too big!
Thank you for talking me down off that ledge...
@z reviews anything is a dildo if you're brave enough.
I've seen buttplugs in BDSM shops that DWARF these speakers. Obviously, there aren't many butt plugs with speakers in them.
I have these on my desk, loving them so far! Glad I got to them before the review and they are gone everywhere lol.
@Moonwaterz why not?
I also "LOVE" JBL, I'm gonna get these! Thank you for making up my mind.
I love "LOUD", it's just my little dog hates it when I crank my main Sansui 160w x 4, so these should please us both!
Could I use these for a smaller tv setup? How does it compare to the Edifier R1280DB Speakers? Also, how do they sound with more minimalist techno music? Is the sub-bass good enough to enjoy tracks?
Better than r1280db according to reviews of actual sound compared to 104
They make these with Bluetooth.
this or iloud micro ??? (aware of the price difference but wanna see ppl's opinions)
JBL 305!
Iloud is better according to reviews of actual sound
[ HiFiGuides.com ] -- A Better Buying Guide where you will now find a speaker section [BETA]
No other JBL coaxial I know of. They stopped doing R&D when they should have been working on something for a studio that has some of the advantages of the Devialet Phantom... Or just something without hiss and coaxial drivers so they don't have bad vertical dispersion.
I actually have a use case for no Bluetooth and IR, so buying these now 😁
My 104`s will live in my bedroom playing LoFi and sleep music. :)
Could you please use a steady camera ? I get seasick
You can get these for under $80 off Amazon, and there is an updated version with bluetooth
Perfect graduation present!
If you had 300$ to create an audio setup with headphones, a dac/amp, speakers, etc. What would you put in it, I'm using this as advice to my own situation hint hint...?
Sadly mine distorts (master) with mid bass heavy tracks :( need to fiddle the rca inputs and volume to remove the buzz. Funny though is the highs and mids are clear but there is a light buzz somewhere. Must be the crossover or caps
bro that was a great review thanks for reviewing .
How about JBL 104 vs iloud micro monitor?
JBL 305!
Iloud is better according to reviews of actual sound compared to 104
you should do a review of the sound quality of the amazon echo plus. It’s really astonishing
"their cute" says the girl friend, she says it reminds her of beats pills and that they could have done something else to make them nicer looking
What if they made the shape completely round on the bottom, then gave it legs?
JBL needs to make a yellow “minions” edition!
That's pretty epic I'll buy it for my girls slumber party 😁
Perfection
… actually, not a bad idea. There should be additional colours … perhaps, starting with White. That would increase the "WAF" … witness what Kanto has done.
I've been thinking about getting these for awhile now. Thanks for the info.
Still undecided between these or Edifier R1850DB
Girlfriend says they look horrible
How do they compare with the edifier Luna? (Micca doesn't ship to Europe)
Damn. These don't have the highs the lunas have but beat them in the lows
An alternative on feeding those. Topping DX3 Pro. BT, clean DAC, clean HPA, fixed or variable output. $170 on massdrop, sorry drop. Currentlly running one on JBL 305s while watching you
They would look good in gloss white with the black grills even if everybody hates shiny plastic and is not the “pro” color heh. Great review as always Zeos
Are you getting sweetspot when the speaker facing your chest.
Wait. So this means I can set up the master unit as either a left or right speaker depending on how I plug these in, right?
eXAKR yes
I'm trying to decide between these and the Edifier Luna Eclipse.... I'm using them on a desk up against the wall so I'm worried about having a rear firing port
My Echo Dot sounds like a fart muffled through a foam pillow...
These for $79 or the iLoud micromonitors for $299?
Thank you Zeos! Think these willl be for my small room/desktop!
Do they come with a thing so you can put them on it's sides? I want some speakers like these but I don't have a lot of room height-wise to play with
Do the speaker stands linked feature acoustic isolation?
A fluid Damped Organic Isolation
I wonder if Campbell's chunky beef stew would provide the same vibration isolation or would the potatoes be too dense?
Nice to hear Infected Mushroom's Bombat in your refrence tracks. its a killer track
Just got this pair for $50.. and for $50, on sale, and they're fine. If you need small speakers that are decent.. then these are 'okay.' I plan to put these in either the bathroom, kitchen, or guest room. I think these would also be 'ok" for a dorm room, unless you wanna be able to blast music - look elsewhere. For $70... I'd be inclined to look at other pairs of speakers around $100... I do not think these are worth more than $70. It blows my mind that people were paying more than $100 for these.That said, the speakers feel amazingly solid. Amazing amount of inputs and the knob feels great. However, they don't get that loud, imo. WHICH is OKAY because they're supposed to be listened to up close. (maybe a dedicated amp like Z is using is actually needed for higher volumes) There is also a decent amount of static sound while idle.. but I can't hear it over ambient noise unless my ears are right up to them.
so overall.. I think these are a good pick up for $50.. I'm glad I was able to pick up a pair, but don't hype them up in your head.. they're just "DECENT."
Hope this helps anyone looking to buy these.
compared to other bluetooth speakers, does jbl104 with tao tronics bluetooth receiver work better?
That album is a classic 👌. Cool do you think you will get in the new stage series? I don't know if it's an upgrade from the arena but it's same price.
JBL 104BT has Bluetooth with switchable inputs, costs 135usd.
So the bluetooth jbls dont need the red and black speaker connections?
Do a comparison between these and the iloud micro please
Can I use my 4.4mm to dual 3.5mm headphone cable to connect these to an ifi zen DAC's balanced out by simply using two 1/4 inch adaptors? Seems too convenient.
Z! These or the newer PreSonus E5's? Especially, if you're not able to get a powered sub for a while....?
Oh yeah, & they're BT now, the 104's. It'd be cool if you could do a comparison vs PreSonus.
Decent desktop speakers! Love it! Thank's Z! Bright and colorful, don't know about monitoring, on it, but it's damn musical, warm, cool sounding. Cheers!
front headphone exit is full of impedance noise, useless!
@@sADYc That's why the old Sennheiser HD414 (best cans ever made) were 2KΩ.
can you mix using them?
Yes.
genelecs are casted aluminium :/
I am aware. I don't think I finished my sentence
BlackgoldTwinduck , and cost $8.99/657 billion
ZEOS Where's the Sound Demo?
PS: There's an alternative SKU with Bluetooth.
Automatic thumbs up, now I have a spot to hang my headphones.
Hello Zeos, great review, how can I connect 5x 104's to make a home theater surround?
You can't.
Looking forward to your Edifier review

Tannoy dual concentric Revolution xt6 bookshelf speakers review please
18:45 Zeos, is that 1700BT review still coming?
Curious to hear the sound demo, not seeing a link in the description. Thanks!!
th-cam.com/video/hYgn8kbD13M/w-d-xo.html My bad
Most entertaining review ever
Every review I've seen on these the speakers were supplied by JBL . Are they given to the reviewers for free or are the borrowed ?
given, they give them so the reviewer is happier, plus the cost to them is tiny and they make way more profit off the viewers buying their stuff
Can you please review the Telefunken THP-29?
These or Presonus 3.5 BT? for Music production and Casual listening?
@Vaibhav Solanki I haven't bought one yet, Gonna buy Edifier 1700BTs in November.
What do you mean by "It is JBL"???? JBL has them as Bluetooth, JBL 104-BT!!!! I have started with JBL L100 Century's, then JBL L166 Horizon's (which I still own) & L300 Summit's (which I still own)!!!!
Gonna miss yer old abode z
All these non passives , I worry the amps will fail.
Would these be any good to connect to a nintendo switch conected to a portable monitor?
Would you say these jbl speakers 🔊 are great for guitar sim amp rig software like Amplitube and positive grid fx2 ???
Don't be a pussy, use a tube amp.
Telecat Johnson punk ass ... you can have it all when your as smart as hell like me. Okay. Understand? I see a strong man in the mirror here not a pussy so respect okay.
DAC on the taotronic BT good enough to run without the Geshelli? or is good external DAC preferred?
I haven't heard this one specifically, but usually the DAC in those things are fine. Definitely not fantastic, but they'll work in a pinch.
However if you can deal without Bluetooth and can find a reasonably priced one on eBay, I LOVE my Chromecast Audio. The DAC is probably a hair better than what you'd get on a Bluetooth reciever but it has an optical out I use instead.
whats better? i loud or this?
will the Astro Gaming MixAmp power my HD 58Xs?
hilarious but informative review haha
If you put your coke-bottles on and look at the little word underneath the JBL, it says "Professional". The speaker is designed for a simple little recording setup, not a throwaway PC speaker or smartphone speaker (and IMO they priced these a little bit too low because it creates some confusion around that fact). No professionals I know are in the habit of using Bluetooth to connect their monitor speakers to their home project studio rig - even a podcasting rig will be wired together with physical cables. So the omission of Bluetooth is entirely consistent with the personality that a professional product is supposed to have. Maybe it is a bit snobbish, but a professional product should have a "don't bring that cheap stuff, we are professionals here" attitude.
rorybz , perfectly said.
JBL Professional. !!!!!!!!!!!!
A bit off topic, but has anyone heard the JBL Link 300 smart speaker? I have one, and it seems very bass heavy - I've set the bass EQ to minimum!
Good day, I need some help. Can I connect JBL 104 Studio Monitors to an audio interface? My audio interface is Muslady 222A 2-Channel USB Audio System Interface. I hope someone can answer my question. Thank you.
Are you going to review the iloud mtm monitors ar some point?
No link for the can stand?
Oh its there..
The reason it does not have bluetooth is the same as to why they have TRS balanced inputs: They are studio monitors.
And TRS balanced is the right format. TRS to TRS cable from mixing console to speaker, done! Perfect product for hobby musicians.
I love these speakers. However... You need good line input voltage as I find these speakers are slightly quiet with input from my mp3 audio player. They are awesome from my laptop line-out voltages though. My only negative is the JBL label could have been placed slightly higher on the grill.
Hey Z, you have to get the JBL Authentics L16. after you'll never tell again JBL are missing Features!!!!
That's made by regular JBL though. Everything that's good is made by JBL Professional
My 104s are my headphone stand too
