5 out of 5 stars Great Portable Speaker   October 24, 2008
O. Baysal (USA)
Can't think of anything better. It is compact, light, easy to carry and has good sound quality.


3 out of 5 stars Nice package!   October 23, 2008

Sleek and compact design. Very portable, but wish that the power cord and ipod connector were placed somewhere else so I can close the unit, and still have the unit connected to the power.


5 out of 5 stars Nice sound, inexpensive, and travel-friendly!   October 12, 2008

These speakers have really great sound for the size and price! I listen mainly to classical music these days, and even for that purpose the sound is perfectly adequate.

Of course, they are no replacement for a serious sound system. However, if you want to have decent-quality sound for your music or podcasts while traveling, this set is for you.

I bring it with me when traveling mainly because I find the quality of my laptop speakers insufficient, especially at the low end. At home, I use a larger set of Creative speakers with a sub-woofer hooked up to the laptop, but this little JBL unit gives those speakers a run for the money.

These are not going to give you bass that will shake the room, but there is enough bass to give music as well as spoken-word podcasts a surprising and pleasing richness and depth.

It comes with a carrying bag, which is nice, but it would be even nicer if the bag were big enough to hold the AC adapter as well -- that is my only complaint. As it is, the adapter must be packed separately -- bad for absent-minded types like me. A big plus for international travelers is that the AC adapter takes power in the 110-240V range, so you only need a plug adapter, not a transformer, to use it in countries with different power standards.

I got these speakers on sale in a Gold Box special for $35, and I've seen them on sale for about that price a few times since then. You might want to hold out until that price or something similar rolls around again. I felt that especially at that price this purchase was a real bargain, though really they are probably worth more as well. Highly recommended!



4 out of 5 stars Good things do come in small packages   October 10, 2008
A. W. Skipworth (Carson City, NV)
With the airlines charging for bags now-a-days, I'm going 100% carry on this year. But I didn't want to leave my Pod and speakers home. The JBL On Tour fit my need perfectly. Only 1 pound, nice carrying sack and the sound is great at low and medium volume. Sure, it doesn't carry a big thump like a big subwoofer would, but for traveling with both music and books-on-pod I think this little JBL fit the bill.


5 out of 5 stars Good sound in portable speaker   October 10, 2008
N. Ronning (Olympia, Wa United States)
Good sound in a portable speaker.
Wish it had a place for the connecting cord, but oh well.
Compact and speakers are protected when case is closed.
It is not a "room filler", but is probably best of breed for portables.
