JBL Encounter 2.1 Speaker System

Features of the JBL Encounter 2.1 Speaker System

The most notable feature of the JBL Encounter 2.1 Speaker System is the design of the system. The satellite speakers look like little aliens with big almond shaped eyes. The subwoofer reminds me of ET's spaceship with its rounded rocket look. Cool looks, but the real beauty of the JBL Encounter 2.1 Speaker System is on the inside.

The JBL Encounter 2.1 Speaker System has cool and easy to use touch controls for the volume. The sub has controls for the treble and bass of the system as a whole.

The speakers use JBL's odyssey transducers for excellent bass and clear highs. The subs and satellites use patented Slipstream port design to get full sound from a small package.

JBL Encounter 2.1 Speaker System in Use

The JBL Encounter 2.1 Speaker System is easy to connect to your computer or any device with a 1/8" mini stereo jack. The sound quality is superb and exactly what you expect from a JBL product.

I tested the speakers during gaming and found the work very well. Highs like glass breaking are clear and realistic, even when overlaid with deep bass sounds like gun shots and explosions.

Some complain of rattling or hissing with the JBL Encounter 2.1 Speaker System, but I experienced none of that no matter if gaming, listening to music or watching movies. The JBL Encounter 2.1 Speaker System is an excellent all around speaker system that works great for gaming, movies and music all without taking much desktop space.
