"The perfect powered speaker, light and powerful, with exceptional, clear sound. If you're on the fence, this is the speaker you"

Overall I love it. I'd buy another one in a second. Very happy with my decision.
Sound
Incredibly clear sound. I'm glad I spent the extra money and bought this speaker over cheaper ones. The high end is not harsh like most throat-compression drivers, and the top end response is far beyond what you would expect from a PA speaker. I would be happy using these on an audiophile home system. There is no audible hiss or noise, the internal amp is very quiet. Low end is very good, considering it's only a 10" driver. The internal amps (it's bi-amped) run out of headroom long before you reach the limits of the drivers. Clipping is very gradual, you have to overdrive it considerably before you actually hear any artifacts.
Features
Little two channel mixer works well, although the tiny knobs are tough to adjust in the dark - you're better off setting them at a given level beforehand and leaving them, or using an external mixer to ride levels.
Ease of Use
Doesn't get much easier. Plug it in, plug in your mic, turn it on, sing.
Quality
Extremely high quality. The cabinet is light, but strong. Everything feels top quality. Top marks.
Value
It's more expensive than other similar sized and powered speakers - but once you hear it, you'll know what your extra dollars paid for.
Manufacturer Support
Haven't had to deal with support, and don't expect to - it's JBL.
The Wow Factor
Come on now, it's a speaker. What are you going to do, play bass and sit on it? It's practical, it works, it sounds good.

"I LOVE my JBL EON 10 G2!!!"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Sound
I LOVE this speaker. I play electric violin and do all my EQing and processing through a tube effect processor. The last thing I want is to double process my signal. This speaker has a beautiful clean flat response that allows my processed sound to ring clear, full and warm, never shrill. I've beaten the hell out of it and it remains as awesome as the day I purchased it. One of my best purchases.
Ease of Use
No learning curve. Just plug and play. I love that that it has 2 inputs. I use it as my own personal dedicated monitor and can get a monitor mix from the house as well.
Quality
This thing has taken some NASTY falls. The only thing that happened once is that the transformer got knocked off the rod. I opened up the case and easily fixed it.

"10" inches the ladies will never forget"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I will never replace my Eon10 G2s for DJing parties, weedings, or events. I will add a sub to improve the low end no one can get enough of though. Now if only someone made an active, powered, portable sub that had the same frequency response as the 10"s (I'll give you my opinion of the EON SUB as soon as I put it through it's paces)
Sound
These things are clear as a bell, even at peak you can stand right next to them and not get a headache. And at a distance the sound is crisp and bright. They aren't going to break any windows or set off car alarms, but if you want AWESOME sound reproduction in a portable, reliable, and simple package then the 10" are it! (the 15"s throw more sound but they don't compare in clarity to the 10" response) As for thier circuitry, I've pegged these guys for 6 hours in the Lake Shasta sun once to get as much noise as I could out of them. They never quit and still sounded great.
Features
Controls are in the right place and do the right stuff, plug locations are well thought out (power as far from data as possible), cable routing conveneint and intelligent. Handles (molded indentations in the side) are the only thing that could use improvement, they are hard to keep a grip on. Also, without a fully formed handgrip there is nothing to wrap a cable around for safety or security.
Ease of Use
Simple controls and easy to understand lights (green good, red bad). Perfect for quick "mike and speaker" pa setups, or ghetto rigging a dance party without a mixer. These things are ready in 5 minutes and will keep going until the cows come home.
Quality
Very nice to look at, sturdy, and easy to clean. Grill is practically vomit proof and formed plastic case keeps the speakers safe even sitting in an inch of spilled beer.
Value
By far the best audio investment I've made. These things are equally at home in your living room, a small dance hall, or doing your sister's wedding. At 30lbs they are mobile, and easily fit in your
Manufacturer Support
Never neaded any, these things are solid.
The Wow Factor
Speakers are meant to be heard, not sean; And you can definitely hear these.

"EON 10 G2, if you don't have them GET them!"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I don't see needing any thing els for many years to come.
Sound
I have used these speakers as mains, monitors, through a sound board, plugged right in with a guitar and the sound is always pure and true.
Features
I really like the multiple inputs. I love how you can plug a 1/4in guitar cable in that is really convenient.
Ease of Use
It really is as simple as plug and play.
Quality
JBL can take pride in the quality of the EON10 G2. I have not seen or head of any malfunction do to normal wear.
Value
I cant give full marks on value. I have used other products that were comparable and less expensive but I like JBL.
Manufacturer Support
I have not had any dealing with JBL over the EONs but from past experience JBL has always done right by me.
The Wow Factor
I like it so much I just put in an order for two of them along with two EON15s
