JBL PRX515 Active Speaker Customer Review

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)

Sound
The sound is great. The speakers fill any room that I have used them in. I have used them in a gym where the acoustics are horrible. They still sound amazing. I have owned them for 6 months and am buying a second set. I use a 31 band EQ to sharpen the sound some, although it is not necessarily needed. Overall, nice rich, full sound.
Ease of Use
Not much to them to screw up. I really like that the inputs are 1/4" or xlr, I have worked with other speakers that do not 1/4" inputs and they are a pain sometimes.
Quality
Quality is good overall. The grills are a bit of concern. I have been very careful so mine are still perfect. I have had other JBLs though and the grills had similar issues.
Value
Definitely the best bang for your buck.
The Wow Factor
Looks amazing. The glowing logo is a nice touch. Best looking active speakers that I have seen.

"Great sound, but not road worthy"

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Sound
Sounds great for hard hitting music, but in between music announcements do seem to distort due to much bass. There is a swith for bass boost or not, but I can not switch each speaker for each time I need to make an announcement. The speakers truley kick hard otherwise.
Features
No bags to protect the enclosures. No matter what I tried, I could not effectively or in a timely fashion protect the grills. I used four inches of foam, but still bent the grill on a $1,000,00 speaker when transporting in my van. The speakers truley kick hard otherwise.
Ease of Use
see above. VERY LIGHT which is great. The speakers truley kick hard otherwise.
Quality
these speakers scratch super easy, carpet is the best.......... The speakers truley kick hard otherwise.
Value
dollar per watt is good ta go
Manufacturer Support
web site needs work, QSC kicks butt compared to JBLs site. The speakers truley kick hard otherwise.
