The most important thing about ANY monitors is learning them. Play professionally recorded music similar to your own through them (rip from a CD, insert the file into your DAW) and A/B compare to your own recordings. Take your mixes, burn to a CD or transfer (WAV not MP3) to a USB stick and listen on other systems to see how your mix 'translates'.
I have the older JBL 305 model speakers. The drawback to these - and many other smaller inexpensive speakers - is the rear-facing bass ports. If you have these near a corner, then the bass can get bounced around giving you false sound. Some people just stuff socks into rear bass ports (!), but having some acoustic traps on your front wall (behind the speakers) will help.
