Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of JBL On Tour Portable Speaker System ( Black )
Customer Review: Unbelievable!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
At the first look, I didn't believe it could create great sound because of its size. But that's wrong! When I connected it to my MP3 player, I coudn't believe in my ears: great sound that can fill the whole big room.
Pros:
- small size and very beautiful
- amazing sound quality
- compatible with any kind of music players with 3.5mmm output jack
- with 4 AAA batteries, you're really "on tour".
Cons:
- not easy to open/close the battery cover
- no power on/off button, so every time you want to turn it off you have to plug out all the cables connected to the speakers in order to slide the cover up.
Anyway, this is a great speaker with it's price and I really love it. Highly recommended if you're looking for a really ON TOUR SPEAKER! I want to buy one more for my friend as his birthday gift!
Customer Review: terrific little speaker system
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this speaker for travel with my ipod. I wondered about the quality given the price but decided to take a chance. It is a smart looking, small but well made speaker. The sound is not tinny. It is easy to use. Previous reviewers have commented on the volume not being adequate. This is not true if you remember to increase the volume on your ipod or other device as well as the volume of the speakers.In my 20x30 foot basement it rocks!My husband hooked it up to his portable dvd player as well and the sound was great. This is not an alternative for a great sound system but for a bedroom or travel and at this price it is unbeatable.
By the way to those reviewers who comment on the difficulty in opening the packaging I recommend they use a unique device called scissors. As a 50+ year old woman I had no problem opening or operating this system.
Customer Review: WOW - JBL Portable Speaker System
Summary: 5 Stars
Well, I was pretty impressed with the quality of this unit. considering the cheapo $8.00 unit I bought last week. (JUNK)
JBL IS WORTH EVERY PENNY - $39.00 THRU AMAZON.COM.
COMPACT AND LIGHTWEIGHT
HIGH PERFORMANCE SPEAKERS- GREAT BASS. SPEAKER VOLUME IS GREAT! 3WATTS.
STANDARD MINI JACK - USES FOUR STANDARD AAA BATTERIES. 7 HOUR PLAY TIME.
TOUCH CONTROL FOR VOLUME AND REMEMBERS LAST SETTING.
COMES WITH AC ADAPTER, WHICH OVERRIDES THE BATTERIES WHEN PLUGGED IN.
SLIDING COVER WHICH AUTOMATICALLY TURNS OFF POWER.
AMBER LIGHT FLASHES WHEN BATTERY LIFE IS LOW.
RECHARGABLE BATTERIES WORK WELL - UNIT WILL NOT CHARGE BATTERIES.
I WISH THEY WOULD OF DESIGNED THE SLIDING COVER - SO YOU CAN CLOSE IT ALL THE WAY WITH BOTH JACKS PLUGGED IN. THEY MUST BE REMOVED.
OTHERWISE ITS A GREAT PRODUCT.
Customer Review: Whoa, wasn't expecting that!
Summary: 5 Stars
Amazon had a special so cheap it couldn't be passed up to buy this thing some time back. The box arrived and the sound was uneven tinny and only one speaker or the other worked at a time. I thought, yes, you do get what you pay for. But since the problem seemed to possibly be a defective input jack, Amazon paid the return postage and immediately sent a replacement. Incredible service. The replacement blew me away. The design is very nice and compact and includes an adequate carrying pouch. The speakers seem like throwbacks from ancient transistor radios as far as size, but somehow the sound is amazing for the price. Sufficient base, crisp not tinny and terrific volume for the size. Great for anyone who travels and wants to switch from ear buds for a change. A super product and great service from Amazon! Five stars!Customer Review: Small, but surprisingly powerful ...
Summary: 5 Stars
I am amazed at how good these speakers are for the size. I've been using them with my iPod nano as well as my laptop, and they're really quite good. Others have mentioned the lack of bass, and I agree -- it could use a little more "oomph" on the low end. But it's not that bad, really -- and the overall sound is really excellent.
This little unit is truly portable, with its own little drawstring bag. I've been able to fit everything -- the power cord, the unit, and the device cord -- into the bag. It's a tight fit, but it works.
I'm very please with the On Tour speakers -- definitely recommend them if you need something portable to provide more/better sound than your internal laptop speakers or something to connect to an MP3 player. Look for them on sale (I got mine via a Goldbox special).
