Digital camera reviews of JBL On Tour Portable Speaker System ( Black )
Digital camera Review: Daughter loves this system!
Summary: 4 Stars
I got these speakers for my daughter for Christmas. She loves them. The bass is rich and the sound is clear. Works great!Digital camera Review: Decent JBL Speakers
Summary: 4 Stars
The speakers are very nice for the price. If their is any changes that could be made that would be a little more bass or a slight more volume however for everyday normal use, especially in a closed enviorment they are great. I am not disappointed.Digital camera Review: Decent Sound, Idiotic Packaging
Summary: 4 Stars
For its size, this speaker system puts out decent sound. The system itself looks really sharp with its piano-black finish and the sliding cover that converts into a stand is a nice feature.
However, the bottom-line word here is decent sound, not fabulous, incredible sound like some of the reviewers have described this thing. It's as good as you can get using 1" drivers and having such a compact size. But a "full rich frequency response from the lowest bass to the highest highs" as it says in the description? No way! And no one should expect that from something this small, either. Like I said, for its size, it is very nice, better than one would expect. The sound is clear and plays at a satisfactory volume level for normal listening conditions. It is worth the price I paid because it's much, much better than standard laptop or monitor speakers, as well as the junk that most portable or little speakers tend to be, plus it looks great.
The worst thing about this is the packaging. Whoever designed the plastic packaging is a total idiot. This was the most difficult package I've ever opened and as you awkwardly try to cut the plastic, beware of shards that might cut your hand. Once you manage to get the accessories out, the main speaker unit is itself encased in another plastic container that is difficult to remove. Once past that ordeal, however, the average person should be happy with this product. Just don't expect bookshelf speaker sound like some reviewers would lead you to believe.
Digital camera Review: Decent system for close quarters only
Summary: 3 Stars
I purchased the On Tour primarily for listening to music in my backyard. The hook-up to an MP3 player is simple and the sound quality is decent. However, the volume level achievable is disappointingly modest. I was hoping I could set it up and move around my backyard and listen as the area is only about 600 square feet. The fact that I'm in the city probably doesn't help at all, but if I get further than 6 feet or so away, the volume level is just unsatisfactory. If you are indoors and just want to set up this system next to you or in a small room, it's probably fine. For my purposes it's a bust.Digital camera Review: Definitely Yes!
Summary: 5 Stars
I read all of the reviews before buying it. I am glad i did. All the rave reviews are true. The sound quality is amazing for such a small and stylized product. If you looking into buying it, GO FOR IT! it's worth it.
