(4 out of 5) by Mr. G. R. Davies on Aug 12, 2008I have been searching for a decent ipod speaker for some time reading loads of reviews and at the end of the day, I know its down to your own ears.
I wanted something especially for traveling / holidays, something thats lightweight and portable and preferably mains powered, as you well know batteries go in no time.
I took the gamble and bought the JBL On Stage 2, when it arrived I was surprised at the size, given theres a micro version, the 2 is small, ( about 17cm) and lightweight and portable, that bit sorted then.
So the most important thing, the sound .....right. This is a little gem, the sound is crisp and clear, through a whole range of music styles, ok, its a little lightweight on the bass, but with a fiddle of the EQ on the pod, this was improved, not totally brill, but better. The volume is way better than expected, it is loud enough for a med to large room on full tilt, and bang on for the BBQ get togethers ( English weather permitting).
This system is not for those with a discerning ear for perfection, theres bigger and better for that purpose, but this is perfect for holidays/ travel, and or bedroom. Youll be surprised at the quality of sound.
Minuses then, Theres a little remote, with a silly clip, why they put that on I dont know, suppose its so you dont lose it, anyway its basic but ok.
The AC mains adapter,come on JBL what an earth were you thinking, everything you make is stylish, portable, lightweight. But sadly not on this occasion, Its the heaviest thing about this system.
I have awarded it 4 stars, marked down for the plug, remote and sorry Amazon, the price, its cheaper on another site.. ( £49 Tesco.com).
Well chuffed.
