JBL On Stage II Speaker and Docking Station for iPod (Black)

I just received this and I love it already. My husband and I own 6 different iPods between the 2 of us. I wanted something small, yet with good sound, but didn't want to spend lots of money since I will primarily use it when I'm in the kitchen or on the deck. This system works. There are plenty of adaptors that are marked to accommodate all iPods. You can even plug the Shuffle in. It just won't charge. I noticed for the best sound that the volume on the iPods itself has to be at least 1/3 of the max and then you can crank the volume on the speakers. My husband has JBL speakers for his main computer and we love them so I was drawn to the JBL iPod dock. Great price through Amazon as well. Compare prices of all the colors. I went with the black because it was a little less.

I bought this unit in Dec. 08. I like the sound quality and easy of use greatly. The built seems to be very solid and I have no issues with the unit at all.Good: price - I paid $47 for it. I felt that it was a great bargainsound quality - clear in all the range, volume can be all way up without losing fidelityEase of use - simple and responsive buttons for changing volumeLook - clean and functional not bulky or square/old lookingLike to have: Control - Will be nice to have light on the button, can not see it in darkColor - Hope to have more color selection, black/silver is ok but not exciting at allOverall, it is great quality and good buy.

This little docking station packs a whollop of sound into a little piece of equipment! What a great purchase - charges my iPod when I'm not listening, produces incredible (loud!) sound when I am, and I can carry it from room to room in my little apartment (not that I need to). I love this thing! If I have to critique anything about it, it would be that the remote control do more than turn your iPod on, off, increase/decrease volume, and fastforward/rewind to songs. But hey, I need the exercise so who cares that I have to manually change playlists?!?! Great purchase!!!

Great unit, sounds great for such a small unit, but didn't realize it was an older model and won't charge the newer ipod's and iTouch. Says it charges all iPods, but that was at the time it was sold, so it doesn't charge the newer models, plays them fine but won't charge them. Bummer

This product has done exactly what I bought it for- allow me to plug in my iPod and listen to it from any room. I have a 2 bedroom apartment and I can hear it from the farthest corners (as long as TVs, etc aren't on as well). Like other reviewers have said, the bass leaves a little to be desired, but for such a small, convenient speaker at this price, it's not a big deal. The remote is great, it has worked well from the distances I need it (across a 15' or so room). And the speaker I ordered comes with adapters for every type of iPod, I have a 2nd generation nano and it fits nicely in the adapter dock provided. I even plugged my iPhone into it when I first got it and it worked fine. It is not battery operated, so you must have an outlet nearby to plug it into, but this also means it charges your iPod even while it plays, also a nice feature. It is a minor inconvenience to have to unplug and replug in the speaker if you want to move it to another room, but it's not like it's heavy or large at all, very portable. Excellent speaker for the price and size.

Product features lists iPod Nano. However, the unit is NOT compatible with the 5th generation Nano's charging system. Apple modified the charging system on newer Nano's and no one bothers to update the descriptions. Now I have to ship the device back at my expense and get something different. WHAT A WASTE OF TIME!!!

This is a great little system. Simple, easy to tote from room to room, I even took it to Mexico with us and could hear quite well from the kitchen to the patio. I mostly listen to talks and audio books and for this kind of use this system is awesome. The sound for music would not be the hightest quality especially at higher volume but certainly good/very decent.

I bought this for 2 reasons: to listen to music, and to charge my iPod touch. The description is not clear about this, so I'll be clear:"THIS SPEAKER SYSTEM DOES NOT CHARGE A 2ND GENERATION iPOD TOUCH UNLESS YOU PLUG THE SPEAKER INTO YOUR COMPUTER. THIS IS A BIGGER PROBLEM THAN IT SEEMS BECAUSE NOW ITS NOT PORTABLE. I NEED TO BRING MY COMPUTER ALONG EVERY TIME I WANT TO USE THE SPEAKER FOR AN EXTENDED AMOUNT OF TIME."This would have been a 4-star product if it charged my ipod as advertised. Since it only does half of what I expected, it gets half the stars.Solution: another $30-$40... [...]note: The shipping/transation was smooth. No complaints.
