Product Description
Designed and engineered in JBL’s world-famous acoustic engineering facility in Northridge, California, the HDI-3800 is the flagship of the JBL HDI Series. This floorstanding loudspeaker features a 2 ½-way design with patented High-Definition Imaging (HDI™) waveguide technology, the patented 2410H-2 1-inch (25mm) compression driver, and triple 8-inch (200mm) Advanced Aluminum Matrix cone woofers for powerful dynamics and incredibly accurate sound reproduction.
JBL’s revolutionary HDI waveguide geometry is the result of intense research into the nuances of waveguide design. In search of exceptional high-frequency detail and uniform directivity for smooth in-room response, JBL engineers pioneered a design that delivers neutral frequency response both on- and off-axis, and provides a seamless transition between the high and low frequency drivers.
The JBL 2410H-2 compression driver benefits from the advanced research and applications derived from JBL Professional’s “D2” range of transducers. At the core of the new 2410H-2 device is a lightweight, polymer, annular diaphragm that improves high-frequency extension by reducing diaphragm mass. The V-shaped geometry of the annular diaphragm reduces breakup modes, eliminating time smear and reducing distortion. The result is incredible dynamics with accurate reproduction and a lack of power compression.
HDI woofers take advantage of core JBL engineering techniques to ensure a very high output with low distortion. The long-throw voice coil in conjunction with the symmetrical field motor design, flux stabilization ring, and copper shorting ring guarantees maximum output with significantly reduced distortion. Advanced Aluminum Matrix cones, provide a lightweight, rigid diaphragm and eliminate breakup modes ensuring proper pistonic motion throughout the operating band.
The HDI-3800 enclosure is heavily braced to provide a solid acoustic foundation, and incorporates a bass-reflex design with dual rear-firing, computer-optimized flared ports. The sophisticated curved cabinet features a modern design finished in a choice of automotive-grade painted High Gloss Black, or furniture-grade satin Walnut or Gray Oak wood veneers. A black cloth, magnetically attached grille completes the elegant appearance.
Contemporary design with premium finishes including high-gloss Black, satin Gray Oak wood veneer, and satin Walnut wood veneer

When running on the treadmill, the connection stutters and interrupts music play.
Also, the biggest ear tips are too small for my ears. Had to use my old skull candy ear tips
The subwoofer certainly works well, but whether what it contributes to the overall listening experience with films and television programmes is worth the price is an open question
An awesome easy listen, very warm non-fatiguing sound, perfect for my desktop setup.
Playing Tidal on a MacBook Air into an IFI Zen Dac V2 and Vienna Acoustics Hayden Jubilee speakers, built like a tank with plenty on tap for near field listening or a small to medium size room.
Highly recommended.
This is a 5 star reviewed floorstanding speaker replacing my old 2005 speakers. The Dali Oberon 5 is excellent value and sound is pure and clean from a relatively small tower. I am enjoying running the speakers in and listening to hi-res audio with absolute clarity. E-piphany service is as always tops.
After much research I decided to purchase the Sennheiser 4 Momentum headphones and it is the best sounding and most comfortable headphones I've ever owned. I would highly recommend this item to any audiophile who appreciates brilliant audio quality. Excellent service delivery by Andre in delivering within the promised timeframe. I will definitely buy again.
