Digital camera reviews of JBL On Tour Portable Speaker System ( Black )
Digital camera Review: Big Sound
Summary: 5 Stars
For the really small size of these speakers, you get a huge sound. Very full. Nicely portable also. Recently went to Florida with me and traveled very nicely. I would definitely recommend these for your MP3, iPod or whatever else you'd like to hear better.Digital camera Review: Big Sound, Little Package
Summary: 4 Stars
These are nice little speakers and great for the price. The sound output is exceptional considering the unit's little size.
I couldn't give it five stars for the following reasons:
* The beautiful carrying pouch does not leave any room for the AC adaptor
* If you need an adaptor to connect your device to the speakers, you may have difficulty getting it to fit because of the positioning of the jack and how little room there is
* There wasn't a lot of bass, but I didn't there to be
Other than those little pet-peeves, it's great. I used it to play Rockband, hooked up to my Play Station 3, and it easily filled a large living room with sound. It's quite stylish, too.
Digital camera Review: Big sound in a portable package
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased the JBL On Tour Portable Speakers for use with my iPod. The unit is light and compact with a sliding cover to protect the speakers and allow easy transport. The sound produced by these tiny speakers is outstanding! I was concerned about blowing out the speakers, but they pump out great sound; clear, crisp highs and the bass is more than adequate.
JBL has a good reputation, but this unit is very impressive. The two up/down volume buttons are tiny and, when pressed simultaneously, turn the power on/off. The unit runs on AA batteries; I use rechargeables and they last awhile, even with high volume.
I would certainly recommend these speakers.
Digital camera Review: Broke fast
Summary: 1 Stars
Not sure if the moving parts are the issue, but it broke in about 6 months. I have a friend with one at work, his broke as well.Digital camera Review: Bulletproof Product and Packaging
Summary: 5 Stars
OK, this review is in two parts.
I got it at a really good price as a daily deal item. The product is everything good that the the other reviewers have written about it. It's a bit on the small size, but it has an amazing sound range for how tiny it is. I have tried it with my iPod and my laptop and both delivered solid sound. They are not "concert hall" quality speakers, so don't expect thumping bass or a huge volume range.
PRODUCT QUALITY: *****
The packaging of the product is entirely another issue. When I read a couple of other reviews complaining about the tough plastic packaging, I just thought they were complainers and that it was encased in the run-of-the-mill plastic bubble with the sealed edge that is so common these days. Well, I was wrong. This was the most difficult to open product packaging that I have EVER encountered! I gave up trying to use fairly heavy scissors to cut through the plastic and resorted to an X-Acto knife which did not make the job much easier. Further, it is stamped with the PET recycling symbol which means it is recyclable, but this still is not very green since not everyone recycles. I think that the manufacturer over compensated the need for protecting this product on the boat ride from China!
PACKAGING: *
Since this is a product review, I won't deduct from my overall rating because of the packaging. Just be aware that you need to take extra care when you cut it open to not injure yourself OR damage the product.
