Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of JBL On Tour Portable Speaker System ( Black )
Customer Review: awesome
Summary: 5 Stars
Everything about this speaker device is great. It's portable, obviously (just about twice as long as an average wallet and the same width when closed), and the sound is great. It's sleek and shiny. Works perfectly in a small room and very well in a mid-sized room. I use it with my Zune (which is better than ipod btw) and it's just a joy. It's simple to set up and use, and the sound doesn't wash out when you turn the volume up (like the past 2 speaker sets I've gotten).
The only problems I found were that it doesn't work with the A/C adapter if you have the batteries (AAA btw) in it at the same time. That's kind of weird, but not much of a problem. Also, the way the cords hook up to the back/bottom of the device is a little awkward, but still not a problem. Lastly, the bass isn't all that great, but depending on the music device you're using, you can turn the bass up anyway.
Overall, great buy and great product.
Customer Review: Happily Surprised
Summary: 5 Stars
I was happily surprised when I hooked these speakers up to my ipod - the sound quality is great for such a small set of speakers! They performed well connected to my laptop as well. I was going to gripe about them not automatically turning off (especially when I use them with batteries instead of the AC Adapter) until I found that if you close the cover, they turn off.
The only bad thing about this is that you have to totally disconnect all the cords in the back in order to do this. Meaning if you want these to be desktop speakers and always open and connected to your laptop or ipod, you definitely have to use the AC Adapter and settle for them always being on. Not a huge negative especially since these were probably made with portability in mind.
All in all, this is a great set of speakers, with great sound. It was just what I needed for my home office/travel needs.
Customer Review: Great little portable speakers
Summary: 5 Stars
I just got this little guy in and i have to say i am very pleased with it! the sound quality is great considering how small this unit really is! (it fits in the palm of your hands) the design, and quality is very nice. with the rebate offered at the moment, it's well worth the price. (i got mine at 35, now with rebate it's 30) worth the price for sure. no, it's not going to shake any windows, but what matters is the sound quality. on both my psp and itouch it's perfect. being that it can be battery powered, these things will go everywhere with me, hiking, picnics , bbqs, etc. with it's compact size carrying it won't be a problem. 4 AAA batteries needed, which i recommend rechargeable ones.
so if you're in the market for a portable speaker for your ipod, psp, or any other portable sound device, get this and you won't be disappointed. oh and i think it's also very sleek!
Customer Review: Buy these now
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are looking for portable speakers, buy these now. I have tried many portable speaker set ups and this is the loudest, best quality product ive tried yet. I bought these for the Five Boro Bike Tour in new york. Every year i buy a new set hoping it will sound a little better than the last set because i can never hear them while im riding with about 20,000 people. Well, let me tell you im more than ready this year with these. They take only 4 aaa batteries, weigh only a pound or two (specs are above, im lazy) and sound just as good as a 10 pound set i bought that takes 8 d batteries! My girlfriend wanted to kill me after testing these out because they really are loud. i normally listen to my headphones with the volume turned all the way up and i am very picky about sound quality, so believe me when i say GREAT SOUND-VERY LOUD-VERY PORTABLE -WOW! these rock \m/Customer Review: Cruising with JBL On Tour Speakers
Summary: 5 Stars
I love these speakers. I've owned a JBL On Tour for almost two years until it broke due to repeated accidental yanking of the cord, but I bought a replacement because it looks slick, it sounds good for its size, and can be had for half the "normal" price if you search hard enough. A springy cord would be a good improvement for those of us who install these speakers on a bicycle. I have it on my handle bar giving me clear sounds just an ear-shot away so I no longer have to wear headphones or ear buds when cruising on hot summer days. Riding a bicycle with bulky headphones gets sweaty and of course it's dangerous but I gotta have music when I ride my bike and JBL On Tour provides my music addiction in style. I maybe the only one in my town that have a sound system on a bicycle so people on the street who see and hear these speakers when I cruise by are always impressed.
