Went over great! [Posted on 2007-11-02] I bought this for my niece and she LOVED it. It was very easy to set up and works great right out of the box.
Excellent sound for the size. [Posted on 2007-11-24] I prefer this iPod external speaker unit to the others. The sound is stronger. I wish a similar one could be made that would operate on batteries rather than having to plug it into the wall receptacle.
Good Merchant [Posted on 2007-11-26] The item was shipped quickly and arrived in a pristine condition.I Would do business with this merchant again.
Not bad, for its size. [Posted on 2007-12-21] This is a good product if you're planning on using it in a small room and you're not too picky about the quality of the bass. I have to admit that I was a bit disappointed that the bass wasn't fuller than it is. Then again, when you consider the small size of the unit, perhaps the bass isn't all that bad for such a small device.
Great Sound. Tops most other external systems [Posted on 2007-12-25] We use this unit primarily in the kitchen. It has exceeded my expectations for sound quality. Directly above this unit we had previously installed a Sony under the counter radio/CD player. As I moved more into MP3 and iTunes, I was worried that I would need to play my original CD in under the counter CD player to get good sound. Not so. Right out of the box, this thing is just as good or better than the Sony under the counter unit.
This unit also blows away most tin sounding clock radios (that now accept ipods)that you see for sale in most department stores for $99 or so.
We also received a small external 2 speaker unit as a holiday gift, which sounds awful. I continually come back to this JBL unit, which is very compact on the counter top.
Some small caveats:
I did notice after a year that the battery in the remote control did die, which we didn't use all that much anyway.
When initially docking your iPod, be careful to adjust the sound properly. Sometimes, you can blast yourself too loud, if the volume is too loud. (the volume buttons are touch sensitive, and don't correspond to the volume indicated on your ipod screen. (as with most external players)
There is no external audio port for headphones, so don't think you can take this to work, and listen with your head phones.
Also, I noticed another review mentioning the Power adapter. It is a definite negative, since it is a BRICK. Don't think about plugging this next to anything else, in a 4 outlet wall. It simply won't fit.
All in all for price, and sound quality, and consistent great sound quality over all of the other mass produced units. This is the biggest bang for your buck.
