Description:
The Jensen Convergence Series JMP-50s are a great bargain if you're looking for an inexpensive pair of speakers to hook up to a PC. Setup of the JMP-50s is easy and doesn't require the included documentation. Simply plug the right speaker into the speaker jack or sound card on your computer--Mac or PC--and then plug the left speaker into the right speaker. The wires are permanently attached to each speaker so there is no chance of confusing where each wire connects. The power cord is also permanently attached, and because the speakers have a built-in AC-to-DC converter, the plug does not have a bulky external converter. This makes it easier to find a place to plug the JMP-50s in--no need to move things around on your power strip to make room. The cord that connects the two speakers is just over 4 feet in length, limiting how far you can space the JMP-50s from your computer. Fortunately, the speakers have ample magnetic shielding, so if you place the JMP-50s right next to your monitor, they won't cause any screen distortion. The sound of the Jensen JMP-50s is a bit hollow and lacking in bass, but that's not unusual for speakers that cost less than 20 bucks. However, these speakers do lack bass and treble controls, which can often be found in other speakers in the same price range. These speakers are perfect for your computer at work or for an extra home system for the kids. If you really want full sound for music or games and are willing to spend a little more, go for a set that includes a subwoofer. Pros:
- Easy to set up
- Built-in AC-to-DC converter
- Self powered and self amplified
- Volume control
- Headphone jack
Cons:
- Lack of bass and treble controls
- Lack of subwoofer
