New jbl turntable
That head shell is already more than good enough for that turntable, a different head shell is not going to make any difference and if you get one that is not the correct angle then it won't have the correct cartridge alignment.

Daughter’s first setup
FYI, if you are looking at Edifier R1700BTs then they are angled back for desktop use to aim up at your ears while you are seated at your desk. For room listening at eat height you would need to prop them forward or place them lower to the ground so they don't aim over your head. Starter powered spe
