JBL BP150.1

Advantages: Great sound, Great looks
Disadvantages: No remote control

...The JBL On Time is a stylish, high performance iPod dock, RDS radio and alarm clock, available in black or white finish. It's one of the more expensive iPod docks on the market, but as with most things, you get what you pay for and the sound quality is FAR superior to cheaper alternatives (I also own an older Intempo iPod dock which was much cheaper but the sound quality is awful). JBL are specialists in audio and it shows, the "Halo acoustics" system produces a rich, full sound from any direction and is more than enough for a bedroom or small to mid-sized living room. Before buying it, I'd only heard it inside a large, noisy department store and the sound didn't completely convince me, but I took the risk and bought one. After trying it at home, I'm more than happy with both the volume, and the quality of the sound. My i... Read review

Advantages: compact, mobile, cheap, good sound
Disadvantages: lake of base, sound volume can struggle at times

...The first thing your bound to notice from these mobile speakers for your mp3 player is the style that JBL creates through a vast majority of its products. Its slide back function reviling the two built in speakers adds a pleasant feel to the product and helps with its overall purpose of compact ability and mobility. Due to its small and yet robust design these speakers are great for that weekend away as they fit comfortably in any bag, or even a large handbag. The small measurements also mean that it will sit nicely in any situation from the top of a computer desk to the bed side table for a bit of night time music or that early boost to shift you up and out in the morning. Setting them up is as easy as it looks, with either batteries or mains supplying the power you simple turn on, plug in the I-pod or other mp3 and slide back to... Read review

Advantages: Excellent sound for an excellent price! Solid build, 100 watts RMS
Disadvantages: None for the price!

...I have owned 2 pairs of JBL Control 1 speakers and they have never let me down! The first pair I owned I gave to my dad as he liked the sound so much! These are bookshelf speakers and measure (H x W x D) 227 x 130 x 140 mm. They can be mounted on a stand, on a shelf or you can also order the wall brackets from jbl. For the size they have an excellent sound, warm solid bass with crisp mid and treble. They are 100 watts RMS and can really handle some power. The speaker is 2 way, comprising of a 4" bass woofer and a 1/2" titanium laminate dome tweeter. These speakers also feature a front mounted bass port. When you play the speakers loud its is astonishing the amount of air that is forced out of the bass ports! The speakers case is extremely tough, I have dropped one of my speakers (accidently, not some extreme test!) from... Read review
