JBL LSR-308 Studio Monitors with Cables Bundle

Love these monitors. Perfect reference. Ive mixed a few records on them and I must say that myself and my clients are very satisfied.
I have some older JBL computer speakers I use during the initial stages of recording and these LSR308 are Great home studio speakers to finish off the projects!
I enjoy them very much and was very pleased with the price I paid.
Great sound, very good response to all of my synthesizer range. I am not a studio engineer, but they sound great to me.
These are my go-to studio monitors to hear true sound without all the color a hi-fi system would produce.

JBL LSR-308 Studio Monitors with Cables Bundle

Great monitors for our small studio. Sound is so much better than the 5 inch we had before.
Have had them set up in my studio for about a little under a month and these are great quality and knock.
Heavy duty speakers for recording studio or home theater. Great sound.
Perfect set of small monitors. Very detailed sound.
They also look good though they are a little big for my space, I'll live with that however.

What customers say about "Audio"

JBL LSR-308 Studio Monitors with Cables Bundle

Perfect reference sound for recording studio.
There is zero noise and they are clear and clean in all ranges at all levels.
Good bass, highs are sharp. Easy to listen for hours without feeling like your ears are beat up.
Speakers are the most accurate I've ever owned, just plain awesome for any production, music, cinematic production/editing.
These JBL LSR308 studio monitors lacked in the super-high frequencies area
These studio monitors are not as tight, punchy, clean, crisp, responsive as they Event 20/20BAS studio monitors because they don't have as much power

What customers say about "Features"

JBL LSR-308 Studio Monitors with Cables Bundle

Volume can get very loud and quiet. Great quality woofer and tweeter. HUGE fan of JBL speakers. XLR and 1/4 connection.
I"ve always been a JBL fan and these baby"s are as always,well built, great looking and sound awesome
The greatly reduced weight from previous models may have seemed like a "feature", but the light weight also says cheap, and acts unstable.
The only drawback I realized after purchase,(obvious, but I didn't consider...) is there is no speaker protection whatsoever, so they need a safe location where they wont get bumped.
