Digital camera reviews of JBL On Stage II with RF Remote
Digital camera Review: Must hear to believe!
Summary: 5 Stars
I just got this speaker / amp system for my new Ipod. I was very pleasantly surprised by both the volume and quality of the sound. I took the Stage II out for New Years. It was more than enough to fill our 2 bedroom suite with excellent sound. I highly recommend it.

Digital camera Review: Neat looking speakers with awesome power!
Summary: 5 Stars
I totally scored with these speakers on Amazon! They are typically listed as $149.99 and Amazon, for reasons unknown to me, decided to list it as $79.99 in early November. I couldn't believe my luck and ordered one. This little device can crank music and it's crystal clear to me. I wear hearing aids so that's saying something. I love the way it looks and the remote is so sweet. It has different adapters to fit different iPods. It's a must have and cheaper than the Bose Sound Deck which is the other speaker that I was considering. I highly recommended the JBL On Stage II with remote!!!Digital camera Review: Nice High End Sound, Tranformer is a Disappointment
Summary: 3 Stars
These speaks sound very crisp and sharp with detail for high frequencies. They lack depth on the low end sound but it is acceptable for me. I actually prefer the high-end optimization versus low-end thumping.
I like the general round design. What's really nice is that it projects the sound all around. Many of the in-line type of speakers seems to mute a bit when you move away from the front of them. This design is far more omni-directional.
Lack of battery doesn't concern me since I'm looking for a product that can travel to hotel rooms but I will always be near a plug when I need them. Have my ipod with headphones for when I'm mobile.
The RF remote control is awesome. It is so much better than infrared line-of-site designs like the Logitech mm50s.
The glaring weakness of this design though is the transformer. First off, it is huge and heavy. It seems to weigh as much as the speakers. Secondly, it is 110VAC only transformer. Seems like every other transformer is 110-240VAC but NOT this one. For something near $30 I can order a "european version" but that is only for 240VAC. They need a universal power transformer and it would be nice if it was a bit more compact, or at least would work world-wide even if it is huge. That's the one thing that made me return this other wise very nice product.
Digital camera Review: Not bad, for its size.
Summary: 3 Stars
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.Digital camera Review: Onstage 2 Rocks!
Summary: 5 Stars
Recently my husband and I spent a few nights at a nice hotel which kindly supplied the room with a JBL ONSTAGE speaker system for iPods. I was delighted, as I had my iPod Video with me and I was able to really put it to the test. The sound coming from that small unit was nothing short of amazing. I found it to be well balanced, the separation was great and it had plenty of nice clean volume without distortion.
Since then I have tested many other, larger speakers for iPod and keep coming back to this one. For the money and portability factor, it's a small miracle. I'm looking forward to owning the ONSTAGE 2 with remote...can't get much better than that!
