Customer Review: pretty good, but some flaws
Summary: 3 Stars
First off, if your looking for portability this unit cant be beat. The ability to use batteries is great. That being said you are making some definite sacrifices. I don't know if it's just mine or everyones but it hisses a little when you pull in close, not so bad from across the room, and the bass in the back sometimes distorts the sound of the front speakers. Another little annoyance is the fact the on the box is says a USB cable is included to sync to your computer when there isnt one included. I don't know if im supposed to buy it seperatly or what. Overall it's a good give and take system, if you want pretty good sound on a portable system its good, but move to a larger one if you generally keeping it in one spot.
Update: Evidently some boxes shipped with a misprint saying a USB cable was supposed to be inlcuded. The correct packages do not come with a USB cable. JBL is honoring the misprint though so check out their website and tell them if you want one.
Customer Review: I wish it also charged the ipod.

I have this and the ontour models. Both have good sound for a small package. overall i'm more satisfied with the lower cost one($29.95), even though it doesn't have the remote or the dock station. the main reason i bought this was i didn't want to travel with a charger, sucks for me when i found out this didn't recharge the ipod battery.Customer Review: Bought two: one doesn't work at all, one sounds terrible
Summary: 1 Stars
alright, it sounded too good:
charger, speaker, remote all in one at a fair price.
what turned out was quite disappointing though:
next to dock inlays for 7 different iPods, there is NONE for the 2. gen iPod nano.
I could live with that, as the iPod came with one, but still.
next, having bought two, one for the office and one for home, one turned out not to work at all, the other one sounds terrible. The dead one, is really dead, as there's not even static at full volume, the "working" one though, has plenty of it. Although the music sounds good with the iPod's earbuds, the sound coming from the speaker sound over-pitched and noisy.
since you cannot change the volume outpu from the iPod, there is no chance to try to counter the noise by downregulating the output.
I have to return both now..

3 Days later I had two new ones in my hands.
After checking both in the store I was good spirited.
BUT: I did not test the wall chargers, with the result, that one made a noisy hissing sound when attached to the speaker; obviously a charger problem, as both speakers worked very well with both speakers.
I would love to give out negative star ratings now, as 3 of 4 packages were mal- or not-functioning.
TEST EVERYTHING BEFORE BUYING!
Merry Christmas.
Customer Review: HORRIBLE!!!!!

When I first recieved the speakers, I was a bit dissapointed in the dinky sound it projected. It can't get very loud before sounding cheap.
The biggest problem that I have with it is that it breaks. About 3 months after continual use, it starts to make this loud buzzing noise. Whenever it gets knocked slightly, starts to play louder, or plays a high bass, the annoying buzzing noise begins.
I suggest you to find another speaker set. These are not worth it, will probably break and sound like crap.
