From the Audio Files

The elite consumer tech outlet, WIRED, selected the JBL 4305P as the best home audio product launched at CES 2022! WIRED garners a massive readership of nearly seven million readers, so to earn the title as the best home audio product of the entire show is a huge accomplishment.

Here's what editor Parker Hall had to say about the speakers:

"I expect we'll see a lot of photos of these new JBL speakers floating around on Reddit's r/audiophile community in the coming years. They have a compelling blend of professional engineering, classic studio design, and modern-day connectivity options for a $2,200 price tag. JBL speakers have been used in prominent recording studios since the Led Zeppelin era. But not enough non-pros have used JBLs most impressive speakers, mostly because they required powerful audio interfaces or studio mixing boards to get a proper signal. Not so with these new speakers, which support many ways to connect: Apple AirPlay 2, Google Chomecast, Bluetooth, Ethernet, a 3.5 mm aux jack, and balanced audio inputs (via XLR or TRS). Add to that a near-flat response preferred by studio pros, and they're the first modern speakers I've heard of that are designed to pull double duty on the mixing console and in your listening room."
