JBL has been in the iPod dock business for a while, so it's no surprise that the company has crafted enough models to keep up with an ever-increasing army of iPod owners. Which one is right for you? Well, that depends on what kind of pod person you are: For the Power Hungry For those who seek more volume, the On Stage 400ID should be your first stop. At 2x15 watts, it's the loudest and largest of the bunch, and features an Atlas woofer for added bass. But size isn't everything--the On Stage Micro boasts the same wattage rating without the woofer. For the Weekend Warriors Those who need a dock that they can take anywhere should investigate docks that can be powered by batteries. The On Stage Micro runs on four AAAs, whereas the On Stage IIIP and On Stage III run on six. Take your music to the beach, on camping trips, or wherever you can't bear to be without it. For the iPhone Techies The iPhone owner has a couple choices--if you can stand to put the thing down. The On Stage IIIP provides a smaller and more portable option, or the On Stage 200ID gives a bit more power. These two docks support all docking iPod models as well. For the Featurephiles or Heavy Sleepers Some of us just aren't content with basic functionality; we need more buttons and more lights. Others just need a little nudge to wake up in the morning. If this is you, then the On Time 200ID and 400IHD are for you. Both feature an alarm clock and AM/FM radio, with the ability to wake up to your favorite song stored on your iPod (and then reject it with the snooze button). Of course, for the masochists, a classic buzzer is also available. The On Time 400IHD adds a dual alarm clock and HD radio to the mix, for a crystal-clear signal and a variety of text-based information (artist name, song title, weather alerts, school closings, etc.) scrolled across your screen. Something for Everyone All of these models feature a remote control for full iPod navigation, Evercharge topology to charge your iPod even when it's not connected to a PC or the system is turned off, a mini-jack for auxiliary devices, and the sleek design and solid performance you'd expect from JBL. Compatibility The JBL On Stage Micro system is compatible with all docking versions of the iPod, including the nano, photo, and video iPod. A stereo mini jack connection also allows you to enjoy high-quality audio from a variety of other devices such as MP3 and CD players, desktop computers (all platforms), satellite radios, and laptops.

Evercharge topology--The JBL On Stage Micro system provides power to charge your iPod, even when it's not connected to a computer or if the system is off. Advanced Technology The JBL On Stage Micro loudspeaker dock combines many proprietary technologies to provide the highest-quality sound, astonishing bass, and clear and accurate audio from any direction. Odyssey transducers--The Odyssey drivers provide accurate high frequencies while capable of low-frequency extension of four octaves, unlike traditional powered tweeters. This design provides a full, rich frequency response from low bass to the highest highs. Slipstream port design--The JBL On Stage Micro port minimizes boundary layer separation, providing high-output bass with low distortion. COE (computer-optimized equalization)--The JBL On Stage Micro system equalization is computer-optimized to provide a rich, complete soundstage over a range of listening positions. OCT (optimized compression topology)--The system utilizes a proprietary compression technology to ensure clean, accurate sound at high output levels. AEMS (advanced energy management system)--The JBL On Stage Micro system has an automatic battery-saving shutoff. The AEMS will automatically put the system into sleep mode when there is no audio input. The system awakens with just a touch and resumes at the same volume level. Battery-powered--The JBL On Stage Micro loudspeaker dock is designed to use most types of AAA batteries. Four fresh AAA batteries allow up to 24 hours of continuous play at normal listening levels. An amber LED flashes when the battery protection circuit senses that the batteries are low. JBL encourages the use of rechargeable batteries to reduce waste and help the environment.

Most helpful customer reviews of 152 148 people found this review helpful. Go green and save some green. By Samuel Chell [UPDATE: Suddenly, the value displayed in black and / or money are microphones JBL. In answer to a question, yes, the mic comes with a small compact power adapter. One caveat: Most iPod speaker docks can be very "picky" to load on the iPod models, and they choose to play or just play and not loaded. Check the return of the product, especially if it is not directly from the Amazon, and be sure to test it thoroughly and often for the first two weeks. It is not entirely clear what the final Micro II differs from the 2008 model year, but I think the new model was refined to cover at least some new players. Also, although the price Amazon is one of the round, are reasonable, good deals can sometimes be found in the renovation model JBL assured about the business (located on the "other" great site). Finally, in answer to purists who find any discussion of the speakers to play MP3 files without merit, there are many degrees of compression of MP3 files at 128 kbps in any way the "norm" In addition, differences in sound quality 128 kbps is often as dramatic as night and day in some of these little perfectionist.] Currently, the JBL On Stage Micro is currently 60% below the price of any other color, which makes it a snap pickup home from the speakers normally selling on Amazon for $ 100 or so. JBL is a stylish, quality brand made by Harmon International - durable, reliable, clear sounding. Despite the criticism very divided, the sound quality of almost all the speakers in the $ 80 - $ 150 range is the same, with minor changes subject to differences of taste. I found the popular rechargeable units made by Altec and Logitech to be unstable - plaster models, sometimes completely changing the iPod, requiring a reboot without the guarantee of a solution Micro JBL On the other hand, can depend on us to provide both your connection to AC or AA alkaline batteries. Best contempt low-end goods - iLuv, GPX, Colby, J-Win, and unless you are looking for a clock radio, iHome. The sound is best described as "plastic-like," well below one mono speaker as a Tivoli radio, Sangean or Boston Acoustics. For a substantial improvement that goes beyond "cover" the sheer range of frequencies to "play" the sounds of real instruments, think about the range of $ 200-300 and look for a Klipsch iGroove, Athena iVoice, or Sound Station Bose (the problem - they are not for the battery, notebook). [In response to some misleading Reviews: JBL Micro has one of the more durable systems proven in its price class, and it comes with unusually intelligent packaging (form-fitting, padded storage pocket with room for the adapter, remote control and cables) guarantees a good impression before finally making it to use, does it actually have a volume control - the left button for softer, more to the right. Bass is weaker as superior in some models in this area, but the heights and power is plentiful. If you closet "rattle" back on the amount of your source to hear, and if you get a loud "hum" is simply an off-on reset. And hanging on the small remote (or learn to live without them). Harmon answer to my question about a replacement is usually: "It is not currently available." 85 of 86 people found the following review helpful. Sounds great with a little help. M. Rosen My wife has an iPod for her. JBL interfaces perfectly with the iPod, right out of the box the sound was better than expected much of the turnout for such small speakers. Here is a trick we learned: JBL is not directly on a hard surface like a tabletop. You get too much reflection of the highs and the weak base. Simply place it on something a little sound-absorbing:.
