It's bit pricey compared to today's general powered loudspeakers and you have to decide what your needs and applications are. For me, this may not handle a larger room with 300 or more guests but it can certainly accompany a loudspeaker setup if you already have one. One big advantage with this design is no speaker stands like you'd use with a standard loudspeaker. The smaller footprint of this design gives you more options for placement in any room, especially where space is tight. Also, as you do not need to raise this type of speaker on a stand, you'll get back about 4 to 5 feet of both electrical and audio cord. As this is rated at 380 watts, in my opinion I'm not planning on using this for crowds larger than 300 guests and also based upon the room size. I've played with the various models of Bose speakers over the past year and against the comparable price point and design of the L1 Compact, I think this one beats it down. It simply puts out much more bass and what seems like a cleaner sound coming out of the tweeter stack. Does it compare to something like the L1 Model II with the B2 bass module? Probably not but then again, that's a whole different price point. Now from a design standpoint, I think it defeats all the Bose L1 models in that the stacks get stored into the speaker itself and you're not lugging around different bags to house things like with the Bose brand. I don't use this for acoustical/band performances, but for DJ applications and I think it'll work great if you're looking for really good sound with a crowd of 300 guests or less and a smaller room. If you need something more that will provide louder sound, do your homework on the standard offerings of powered loudspeakers currently out there that provide around 1000 watts on average nowadays. Because I don't use this for performance applications, I did read that the mic-pre's aren't that great on this speaker and I agree, having tried simply plugging in an MP3 player into one of the mic inputs just to see. The other inputs work fine in that instance. Me, even if you're performing, I'd still recommend an external mixer as the supposed 'mixer' on this speaker is nice, but I'm not so sure practical, if I haven't yet gotten the XLR inputs to simply work without some sort of external help. As a DJ, I'm plugging into the speaker anyway from an external mixer. For my applications, this will be replacing my Mackie SRM450 2nd Gen as my everyday speaker for gigs and I'll reserve the loudspeakers for exactly that, when being loud is more important than sounding good.

Product was good but for my personal needs the Bose L1 Compact was more suited. It was smaller. Easier to set up although this product did offer more options.

If you have an acoustic act or band that does not play super loud these are great. I plug my Taylor guitar into a single system with a mic and it is all I need. If you have an acoustic act, you can stop reading here, and go and buy these. One system will sound great for you. Two will give you a huge sound. I compared these to the Bose L1 and these are better. They have significantly more bass and their overall presence is impressive for such a small footprint. I was blown away by how good my Taylor Acoustic guitar sounds through these. They were designed for acoustic guitar and do not disappoint. I also have a Motown band with bass, guitar, drums, 3 horns and male and female vocals and for me, the question was whether they would do the job for the band. I bought two of these because I was tired of carrying around a huge PA. I am glad I bought them. So far, I am pleased if not blown away. They have a great sound and do the job. Because the mixer section of the JBL is not sufficient for a band. I am continuing to use my Berringer powered mixer along with these. I have used them two ways. In one configuration, I run a single cable out of the main, preamp out, to a single JBL Eon One and then "daisy chain" the second JBL via a long RCA cable. This allows me to use a second set of small PA speakers that I connect to the powered output of the monitor side of the amp. I used this configuration when I employed the system for a blues jam during which the players were obnoxiously loud and I thought I might need the extra speakers. I set the JBL's up behind the band and even though the guitar players did their best to play slightly louder than the vocals, the JBL's were loud enough and did not feedback. When playing with my band, who are professionals who, usually, do not overplay the vocals, I simply run a single cable to each JBL from the left and right preamp of the mixer. This allows me to have as many channels as I want and also allows me to use the vocal effects that are built in on the board. I noticed that they disperse sound really well and you do not have the issue of the speakers being super loud right in front of them and then not so loud a few feet to the side. There is one caveat. These are really built for an acoustic setting and I generally end up setting the JBL's pretty close to full volume. However, they have handled it just fine so far and they sound good. I have only used them twice so far and am still working on the E.Q. and vocal effects settings a bit. They have plenty of bass and do not feedback. I do wish that they had a bit more power so that I would not have to drive them so hard. However, they weigh about 40 pounds each and I can carry the entire PA in one trip. They don't distort, get hot or show any other ill effects of being driven hard so I am not sweating it and I am thinking that they will be okay. To give you an idea of how we use them, generally, we play venues where we play rasonably loud, as we have 3 horns, but not so loud that people have to shout at each other to be heard. If you have a pro band that plays at a reasonable volume you should be okay. If you have a really loud rock or metal band, you should probably keep your 1 x 15 and horn cabinets. By going to a single 2x10 bass cabinet and using this PA, I can fit my whole setup in my Cadillac. I no longer have to wonder if my old truck is going to make it to the gig. I hope this has been helpful. If you have a band that plays at a reasonable volume and are tired of carrying the two cabinets, poles and monitors, two of these will do it for you. Ultimately, for the band, I think it would be great to have 4 of these. However, I am thinking that my wife would kill me if I bought two more.Read full review

I thoroughly enjoy this upgrade to my previous PA speakers. The bass response is awesome. This is obviously not stadium grade but you can blow the doors out the house party and get crystal clear sound around the whole room. The bluetooth is a nice feature. The portability!!! I got rolling transporter cases for my pair. Very happy.

I have heard a couple of these line array style PAs in live situations in the last year. I thought they all sounded great and for small venues they’re the perfect answer. My son has been getting into music. We have jam sessions in the family room and one of us is always singing or trying to over drums and electric guitar. So I decided to look at purchasing one for our sessions. I ended up deciding on the JBL Eon One because of the reviews and the quality sound I know JBL for. I was very happy the first time we used this for one of our Jam sessions. It’s got great sound a very usable reverb and it’s easy to setup. After having it For about a week a good friend of mine came over to jam with us, She has sang for years in bands and has recorded for a couple of cds her and her piano player have done. After hearing the JBL Eon One she asked if she could borrow it for a gig she and the piano player were doing! I got a call from her on one of their breaks telling me how impressed her and Peter were with it. The have a small mixer so they were able to put 2 mics and 2 keyboards through it. They had brought along their monitors because Peter didn’t believe they could put the JLB behind them without getting feedback. They ended up not using their monitors! They are in the process of buying Eon One. The ease of use, great sound quality and lack of having to lug around lots of other equipment make the JBL a no-brainer for the working musician and band jams at home! Great product!Read full review
