Digital camera reviews of JBL Radial High-Performance iPod Loudspeaker (Black)
Digital camera Review: AMAZING SOUND
Summary: 4 Stars
I've had this guy for over a year now. When I first received it, I noticed one of the speakers wasn't working. My girlfriend then accidentally dropped it between the dresser and the wall, and that speaker has worked ever since. Go figure! That's the only reason I'm giving this unit 4 stars instead of 5.
On a related note that will only affect some of you, since updating my iPhone to the new 2.2.1 version, this is no longer recognized as a dock. When I plug my phone into it, it starts to charge, but the sound will NOT transmit through the dock. The music plays out of the iPhone's internal speaker for some reason. Luckily, you can hook an 1/8" to 1/8" cable into the back of this thing and it works just fine. It looks ugly, but it works. Not sure about any reduction in sound quality; I've only tested it to make sure I could do it.
So if you have an iPhone 3G, make sure you buy a cable as well! I doubt this issue is specific with this dock, so that could be true no matter which way you go ;}
Summary of JBL Radial High-Performance iPod Loudspeaker (Black)
The JBl Radial? delivers clean, powerful sound for your IPODŽ. It recharges your IpodŽ and features a wireless remote to control you sound.Surround your iPod with legendary JBL sound with the Radial high-performance loudspeaker, which delivers clean, powerful high- and mid-frequency sound along with plenty of deep, distortion-free bass. As a music system, the Radial stands alone, with four Odyssey full-range drivers and a single low-frequency neodymium driver producing a rich audio performance. As a computer peripheral, it replaces (and seriously upgrades) your external speakers and subwoofer, giving your games and music streams some serious punch. And as a multimedia entertainment center, it not only plays your favorite iPod tunes, but sends your iPod photos and videos to a TV monitor. However and wherever you use it, the Radial is a high-performance wonder.
The Radial incorporates a universal iPod dock adapter, which is compatible with most docking versions of the iPod, including the iPod video 5G and 5.5G and the iPod nano 1G and 2G. Simply slide your iPod into the dock and you're set--no additional cords to connect or adapters to fuss with. As an added convenience, the Radial also offers an auxiliary input for connecting a variety of other portable audio devices, including the iPod shuffle, personal MP3 and CD players, desktop and laptop computers (all platforms), and satellite radio receivers. As long as your portable audio device has a 3.5 mm stereo mini-jack connection, you can play the audio through your Radial speaker.
As a bonus, the Radial comes with a wireless RF remote control, giving you the freedom to enjoy your music from across the room, in another room, or outside up to 20 feet. The wireless remote lets you easily change tracks, browse libraries, adjust the settings, and scroll through the extras. Other details include a sleek black housing, convenient one-touch volume and muting controls, a computer-optimized equalization system that produces a complete sound stage, and a USB 2.0 cable for synching and charging your iPod.
