I am an audio mix engineer for an audio company in Virginia.I needed to set up a mixing station at my home. Thought these would be a good buy. I have used JBL products for over thirty years and love them. However, these things are just bad. The bottom end is way overstated! Muddy sounding junk in my opinion. Don't buy them!

I picked these up after some prodding from the sales guy and the fact that they were out of the M-Audio AV40's I had originally wanted. Having only about $300 in my pocket at the time(I bought an SM57 as well), I figured it sounded like a reasonable buy. After hooking them up, however, I was left with INTENSE amounts of treble, horrible bass response, and a deficit of cash. Be warned: if you would like to buy good monitors on a budget, these are NOT the way to go.

Got home with these babies with visions of how great they would sound. Plugged them in and turned them on and....nothing. All they gave me was a return trip to the store and a load of disappointment. Now that is some wonderful quality control.

I picked these up for my small recording setup in my apartment. I got tired of trying to mix down with headphones, as the final mix always sounded poor and treble-heavy in lesser-quality speakers and headphones. I'm not worried about blasting the room down, I just wanted something that lets me hear my recordings as they really sound. There's no fooling these monitors; if you're project is poorly done, you're going to hear it! They have everything I need — crisp, accurate response in a manageable and compact package. The highs and mids sing, and bass is surprisingly responsive, given the size. JBL went ahead and put all their effort into these monitors as well. Weight isn't always the best judge of quality, but when you hold these little speakers, you know they are built well. They get loud (up to 115 db in pair) and I have yet to peak them, but If you're wanting to blast your face off, these monitors won't do it. On the other hand, if you want practical size without sacrificing quality (and you know JBL delivers quality), then the Control 2P should definitely be at the top of your list. Plus they look snazzy!

A disgrace to a respectable brand.

6 minutes... that was the amount of time I let a horribly dull sound of these speakers torture my ears.

To be fair, they are handily equipped with an "off" button which most of the users will find astonishingly convenient and sudden in response. It is conveniently located behind the left speaker and, yes, it will stop the pain.
