I have always been a big fan of JBL.
When they marketed their products with statements like ‘Hear the truth’ and ‘Legendary JBL Sound’, I had to take these with a pinch of salt; until I first experienced that legendary sound with the JBL J33 in-ear headphones. Impressed by the J33, I also bought the J22 headphones (while not as punchy as the J33, it’s definitely good enough in terms of clarity). I’m not a bass junkie, and the bass and voice performance coming out of the JBL J33 is actually making me stay away from super-expensive brands such as the Bose or the over-hyped Beats headphones.
I have listened to stereo for well over 20 years. And, I can confidently say that nothing beats the pure 2-channel stereo system if you want to enjoy music.
JBL Control One is one of the cheapest, entry-level, control monitor speakers that suits a wide genre of music. Though they are extremely suitable to be used as satellite speakers, they are pretty good for stereo listening too.
