 Great sound & truly portable! May 31, 2007

I was looking for a set of speakers to hook up to a Sirius Stiletto home dock so that I could listen to Sirius while in my home office. I tried the Klipsch Pro-media speakers and the Bose Companion 2 (Series II) speakers. The Klipsch had no mid-range and the Bose had way to much bass resulting in a horribly muddy sound. These JBLs sound much better than either, and they are truly portable as well. I keep the AC Adapter plugged in my home office, and plug them in while I am working there. And when I head out to the backyard I take these speakers and the Stiletto with me to listen to outside.
Great sound!
Truly Portable!
Very affordable!
Thank you JBL!
Stunning Performance for the Format March 5, 2008

I am an ex-musician and an electronics engineer. I have heard a lot of speakers that sound better than these - that go on a bookshelf. These little fellows deliver undistorted, well-imaged sound out of a package that folds small enough to (almost) fit in a pocket. And they look good too.
One major peeve, but not enough to dampen my love: the cables only connect to the system when it is unfolded. The only way to turn the speakers off (reliably - there is an auto shut-off) is to close the little cabinet. Ergo - you have to unplug everything to turn these guys off. That is a small price to pay for a gadget that, while only slightly larger than a programmable calculator, delivers true high fidelity sound.
To give a concrete example: at the volume level these speakers were designed to handle (they are not very loud) they sound better than any boombox or portable I've heard. And these poratables were 10-20 times the size of these speakers.
Outstanding and power for its size September 9, 2007

Surprisingly good sound in a small box. Very compact and great design. I use it with a Sansa E260 that has a pre-set volume control. I've tried a couple other portable speakers (mini-plug input type), but the volume was too soft. However, these speakers can do the job and get loud enough for personal listening.

I bought these speakers for my iRiver MP3 player. I took this unit on vacation and am so glad I did. The sound was incredible. As good as my home stereo. Granted, you cannot crank the volume on this unit like a home stereo, but it was loud enough that you could hear it poolside from our 4th floor balcony. I also took it to the beach every day. Other reviewers stated that it didn't have much bass. I disagree. I adjusted the EQ settings on my MP3 player and got quality sound, bass and all. The only improvement I would like to see is the carrying bag, which fits the unit perfectly, but could use some additional room to store extra batteries or the MP3player/cord.
Great Sound Quality December 12, 2007

I was looking for a speaker system that was small enough to carry in my purse (yes I have a large purse) yet had good sound quality. The small ones I had seen before purchasing this item had a tin sound or it sounded like it was in a well. People in my office were also amazed that the sound quality was as nice coming from such a small item (weighs just over 1 pound). Sound quality while using the batteries was as good as when using the included AC adapter. I am very happy with this item. To turn the item off, you just close the case and the power light switches off. For me, portability was priority with sound quality being second. However, with this JBL On Tour I was able to have both in one item.
