JBL - On Stage Micro - Portable Speaker and Docking Station for iPod (White)

I can't imagine being without my dock now. Every night when I get home from work, I dock my iPod and never deal with a dead iPod battery anymore. I know that's not the only reason for buying a dock, and the JBL OnStage Micro sounds good too. I love that it's so portable. It comes with a great remote and works with batteries or AC adapter.

I have the Bose speakers for my ipod which is big and bulky. I use the bose by the pool and it ROCKS with quality bass sound and volume. I wanted something smaller to travel with so I got this. I was expecting the sound to be as good as the Bose. My expectations were to high but I still like it. It does sound pretty good for the size that it is. It's very small and you can travel with it. I think the price could be better for what it is.

This product caused my iPod to freeze up after minutes of use everytime it was used. I am returning it for a refund.

Personally, I don't recommend the JBL on state micro. The sound is tinny and there is no way to adjust for more base, which is needed.

The Audio Out feature of this product is NOT for using the device with an external amp/tuner, ie like a regular iPod dock, it is only for connecting the On Stage to another On Stage micro. The Audio Out jack does send out a signal, but at too low a level for an external amp, ie you have to turn your amp up to the max to hear anything at all, also plugging the lead into the Audio Out socket doesn't turn off the built-in speakers like you might expect it to.The remote works fine with an iPod Touch, and the sound quality & volume are great, just beware that it is not an iPod home stereo dock that you can also unplug to take on trips, it is purely a "use the built-in speakers" device.

Got these as a birthday gift for my daughter. They worked very well at the surprise party we threw her- you know how teens have to have their music!! So easy to use, small, portable and cool-looking. Great price, fast shipping, everything I expected!! Thanks!!!

I bought this item because it serves three purposes:- docking my iPod and syncing with iTunes- charging the iPod- speakers on the goThe latter two functions work fine. The sound quality is decent for the size of speaker that is in the casing and for general outdoors use it works fine. The remote is a nice feature for controlling the volume mostly.The problem is with the USB connection. All the connectors (Audio in/out, power and USB) sit in rounded holes in the base of the unit and while the power and audio cables are provided with the unit, the USB mini cable for connecting it to your PC is not and it is extremely difficult to find a cable that fits into the base. That's because almost all USB mini cables default to a square rubber housing for the USB plug that doesn't fit into the round hole in the base of the unit.I'm still looking for the right cable or eventually will have to take a Stanley knife to one of my existing cables to make it fit.

I travel for a living and it's nice to listen to music in my hotel room. This JBL product does a great job playing music from my IPod. I would recommend this product.
