I agree this is a great sounding product however, even after careful handling of a treasured gift, it broke where the ipod connects to the speaker. JBL refused to fix it and said it was our fault (we are confident that it only got standard use). They can't even repair it because it would have to be sent abroad. I now have no alternative but to buy another speaker as it was a present, I won't be getting anything from JBL. Anyone had a similar experience?

Great item. Really please with my purchase, the dock station has great sound and is easy to use. Would recommend to anyone looking to purchase an IPOD docking station.

I had spent I while scouring the reviews for an ipod dock to fulfill my requirements and I am certain I made the right choice. I had looked at the cheaper end of the spectrum such as the Logic3 MIP107K i-Station7, but I found that even regardless of the reviews the system in the picture itself looked badly built. I also checked out the higher and more expensive systems of which Bose is the market leader; Bose SoundDock Series II. However, these branded systems seemed needlessly expensive when I investigated the reviews and that is when the mid-range JBL docks seemed very appealing.

The build quality on this model which I bought is fantastic. It feels sturdy, the material quality appears to be excellent and the bass powerful for a system of this size. I use it in a large sized indoor area and when appropriate I can fill the room with sound! I use the dock daily and since it charges my iPod touch I only ever need to plug it into my computer for synchronisation.

The system comes with various plastic adapters to fit into the docking port depending on your model of iPod/iPhone. It can be irritating if you like to keep your player in a protective case as if it is thick you will most likely need to remove it every time you wish to dock it. Other than this overly critical observation, this dock will not let you down in the home or workplace. A small stylish remote is also included, but again a small peeve is that when you use it to skip through tracks the iPod screen does not 'wake-up' and so you cannot see your playlist to select a song.

Other black docks in the series which seemed tempting were the slightly more expensive bigger model JBL ONSTAGE-400iD, and another dock which is billed as the same as the model on this page but with an alarm: JBL ONTIME-200iD.

Personally I prefer the tidy, modern and sleek black look of this model. Either way, JBL would appear to make quality mid-range iPod docks!

I was sceptical that this product would perform as well as some of the reviews that I had read. However, I was proven wrong. This dock has fantastic sound, with a rich base. On top of that, the iphone functions well with the sound being cut when the phone rings. There are none of the interference problems with docks that are not 100% compatible with the iphone. What's more, the phone is charged while it is in the dock.

Small but perfectly formed ipod touch 2G sound.I listened to all the systems in the apple shop
and this one stood out bang for falling GB pound. Only bose stood out as better for much more
money. Portable and loud enough for the average room. Convenient,you can also plug any laptop,
audio device into its minijack socket. Amazingly good bass for such a small unit, and amazon
has the best price as usual! You'd think the similar system with a radio option would sound as good.
It didn't! Just get it!
