JBL Creature II > Reviews

Advantages: Visually unique design, fairly cheap
Disadvantages: Mediocre sound reproduction with poor range

...price. Even compared to earlier JBL models, the sound quality from these speakers is disappointing at best. The sub woofer can hold its own, perhaps a little too well competing with the satellites which it often overpowers. It is the tweeters that really let down the system. Too strong on the high end, they produce a strikingly tinny sound, while the system's entire midrange generally feels unbalanced. Priced at around £50 these are budget speakers ... Read review

Advantages: Extremely High Quality, Awesome Design, Eye Catching, Extreme Value for Money
Disadvantages: Large Power Brick

The JBL Creature II speakers are an awesome Value for Money option for Audiophiles and enthusiasts alike. I think they are one of the best investments that I have made for my digital life. I highly recommend them, and in this review, I will explain why… Sound Quality The sound quality produced by these speakers is probably one of the best things about these speakers. First off, I'll start with a generalisation; it's awesome, now ... Read review

Advantages: Looks, excellent sound quality
Disadvantages: Looks, price may put some off

I purchased these in black, a little over a year ago, in order to connect up to my PC to allow me to play my mp3 collection with ease. So out of the box, I could already see that these were no ordinary speakers, with their somewhat quirky styling appealing to me instantly. However, this leads to the first point to be made, as if you're looking for a set of speakers that will just blend into the background, and not affect the appearance of the room, ... Read review

Advantages: Small and will fit any deskyop
Disadvantages: Can't think of any

Bought these speakers from PC world the other day on a whim. By god I am so glad I did. My old speakers were getting a bit tired and were not doing my BF2 game any justice. I saw a huge pile of them stcked in an aisle and was immediatly taken by the unusual design. I may be a little fickle, but this is a strong selling point of these speakers, the way they look. They look ominous and dark and that is what grabbed my attention. Got them home ... Read review

Advantages: Excellent sound small size
Disadvantages: None

...like.The total power of the JBL creature II is around 44 watts which is more than powerfull enough for PC use or you can also use these speakers for connecting MP3 players,these speakers also come in white to complement the Ipod. First thing I tried was playing a CD on the PC and well I was amazed at the sound,the sound was really crisp and thumping bass(as it was only half way you can feel the floor vibrate) I turned it up further and it was very ...

Advantages: Looks cool, basic, no volume problems
Disadvantages: Bass is poor, not the best quality sound

The speakers look quite cool next to my white laptop, although I do feel the need to tuck the sub under my desk since it is quite big. The two speakers are quite funky looking as you can see, and one of them has two buttons on it. These are the volume control - one for up, one for down. The buttons are touch sensitive in the sense that you don't have to 'press' them down, just tap them. I think this is a nice feature. Underneath each speaker is a ... Read review

Advantages: Look great, sound better
Disadvantages: Only play as low as 50Hz

I have the white pair, and i'll start from where i started at choosing these, they look great don't they? the alloyish trim over the speaker and curvy body really is attractive. The volume is controled by a touch sensitive receptor on the right speaker, which doesn't ever stop working. Aside from the looks they also sound great the two small sattelites(speakers) give out superb high frequency sound, very clear, very crisp. Now to get that full ... Read review

Advantages: Funky Design, Simple Controls, Easy to Set Up
Disadvantages: Poorly Marked Controls, Bit Fuzzy in the Bass End, A Little Too Simple

My girlfriend bought these for her iPod Nano as something to have in the bedroom rather than paying full whack for a full mini hi-fi system. Since neither of us know massive amounts about the technology involved in audio equipment, I think that she just went for the "ones that looked coolest" And they do to be fair. The waved design looks great in a modern style bedroom, sat on the top of a chest of drawers and it is quite fun to hide the speakers ... Read review

Advantages: good bass, looks amazingly cool, almost an art piece
Disadvantages: pricey, larger then life personality

This system sits in my room and is connected to my laptop, the tweeters are decieving, look tiny, yet when they get going they are loud and there is little distortion! The bass is impressive and clean, this is shown especially when playing games or movies with explosions! The overall design, which can be seen in the pictures of it are ultra cool, sleek and stylish. These speakers are not for putting in the corner or under a desk, they should be ... Read review

Advantages: Loud, looks cool, thumping bass
Disadvantages: quite expensive

I got a Sony Network Walkman for Christmas and wanted some speakers to inflict all my favourite albums on the wider public (well, the wider public in my house). A family member told me he had heard these going in a shop and they were amazing. I shopped around a bit first but I didn't see anything that impressed me visually as much as these. There was some strange blurb on the side of the box about them coming from out of space and I was suitably sold! ... Read review

Advantages: Good sound quality, Looks Great
Disadvantages: Resonance at 50Hz

I'm quite knowledgable about speakers systems, so i bought these after doing a lot of research to make sure i was getting a good product. They are simple to get working and i was initially very happy with the quality of sound they produced. After about 2 hours of playing with my new gadget i found that the sub resonated quite audiably at 50Hz. I thought this was a fault with the system so I exchanged them for another 'Creature II' and i still found ... Read review

Advantages: great vaule for money, good base, clear sound, great for small to meduim rooms
Disadvantages: struggles for volume in large spaces,

...the volume up high the JBL speakers are going to struggle to achieve this due to its relativly small speakers. If your looking for a product to do this then i suggest you fork out that little extra cash for somthing that will emit the volume you desire. However for use with an i pod or laptop in your bedroom or office then this fits the bill. ... Read review
