What customers say about "Key Specs"
JBL 305PMKII Professional 5" 2-Way Powered Studio Monitor
- The drivers sound more dynamic, faster, and more accurate. These sound incredible.
- These are great speakers that are easy to set up. I am using them as monitors in my home studio.
- Detailed sound. More than sufficient bass output when using them as studio monitors.
- The only real draw back is the lack of lower end sub-response, which were to be expected from the reviews and nothing too surprising from a 5-inch woofer.
- These speakers emit substantial white noise when powered on.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"
JBL 305PMKII Professional 5" 2-Way Powered Studio Monitor
- This speaker is clear sounding and light weight. This speaker gives a new way to listen to music.
- These speakers sound amazing with a huge range of music and they never draw attention to themselves. And even more impressive is their compact size.
- They're not gorgeous. The rear inputs, knobs and switches aren't top quality.
- I was delighted with the size and weight. It was perfect for the studio.
- Amazing dynamic range, a lot bigger in size than I expected though. I was disappointed with its bulky size.

What customers say about "Features"
JBL 305PMKII Professional 5" 2-Way Powered Studio Monitor
- The speakers are connected to my Schiit Jotunheim via balanced cable. That works great.
- Very powerful, very crisp speakers. I have a minor in Audio and Technology, and JBL was always a great recommendation, and I have no issues.
- The build quality really stands out. These feel like they are going to last a very long time.
- I use the Mackie Big Knob Passive Monitor Controller to control these monitors. This works with both unbalanced and balanced input, and makes volume control and input selection effortless.
- The volume controls are super sensitive and little difficulty to control.
