have you heard it because i have owned it and it does not have terrible bass.

They have NO bass at all, the specs "65Hz-22kHz +/-2.0dB" 
 
I would call them multimedia speakers at best.
 
If you want something with some low end you are looking at a minimum of a 5" driver, unless you want a dedicated sub which was not part of the OP's requirements.

for their size their bass is quite good.  in general audio engine is about the best bang for buck out there in my experience.  if you want better bass get their big brother and pay a bit more.

  i am not very good with the technical jargon of audio stuff.
 
basically i own a CPU that is using a MSI z170a M5 gaming motherboard which have a audio jack behind.
 
1) it seems like i need adapters to connect to my CPU? * WIRED *
2) how do i add a bluetooth dongle to the jbl speakers so i can use my handphone to blue tooth with it
3) are there any other speakers which is more user friendly with a CPU and has good bass and good sound quality?

can someone please tell me how to set this up? i saw the a2 and i really dont like the bass for it. deccided to go with the jbl LSR305
 
just needa know how to set it up with my computer

For best sound, an external DAC like a Schiit Modi for $99 would be superior to the motherboard. You run a USB cable to the external DAC and then you run RCA to XLR cables from the DAC to the JBLs.

The cable would be something like this: https://www.monoprice.com/product?p...MIi_31j-C-4wIVQdbACh31Ig8lEAQYASABEgJwMPD_BwE

The Schiit Modi Dac is this: https://www.schiit.com/products/modi-1?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIzPvZsuC-4wIVS9bACh200g74EAQYASABEgJWIfD_BwE

If you want to go from your motherboard to the JBL speakers, you need something like this: https://www.amazon.com/TISINO-Stere...ocphy=9009193&hvtargid=pla-627294862206&psc=1

I really think adding an external DAC would give you your best sound. The one I linked is a good price, but you can use any external DAC with RCA outputs and USB input.
