JBL ONTOURBLK Reviews
JBL ONTOURBLK Review by ChicagoGirl
I bought these speakers for my iRiver MP3 player. I took this unit on vacation and am so glad I did. The sound was incredible. As good as my home stereo. Granted, you cannot crank the volume on this unit like a home stereo, but it was loud enough that you could hear it poolside from our 4th floor balcony. I also took it to the beach every day. Other reviewers stated that it didn't have much bass. I disagree. I adjusted the EQ settings on my MP3 player and got quality sound, bass and all. The only improvement I would like to see is the carrying bag, which fits the unit perfectly, but could use some additional room to store extra batteries or the MP3player/cord.
JBL ONTOURBLK Review by rc (Maryland, USA)
I read all the reviews on these speakers (including the white ones). The sound quality, considering these are portable speakers, is excellent: clean, clear, and rich mid's and treble. Bass is as expected for small speakers -- there isn't any deep ooomph from drums, but that'd require much larger speakers and power. I've had several other cheap portable speakers and they sounded like clock radio's. I worried that these would also, but they don't -- the sound is high quality.
Negatives: I'd prefer matte rather than shiny black (the piano black thing never made sense to me). But, that's a small issue and the speakers are small, well built and look good.
As others have stated, it'd be preferable to not have to unplug the audio or power cable when closing the system.
Finally, it'd be good to have a car adapter, insead of just the AC home adapter.
I was aware of the above negatives. Otherwise, these are great sounding and well designed small portable speakers and I'd buy again w/out hesitation. They're no longer in production as everything, it seems, now has an ipod dock. I don't want an ipod dock... just an audio jack, so these are a rarity.
JBL ONTOURBLK Review by L. Callen (Fairfield, IA)
I am an ex-musician and an electronics engineer. I have heard a lot of speakers that sound better than these - that go on a bookshelf. These little fellows deliver undistorted, well-imaged sound out of a package that folds small enough to (almost) fit in a pocket. And they look good too.
One major peeve, but not enough to dampen my love: the cables only connect to the system when it is unfolded. The only way to turn the speakers off (reliably - there is an auto shut-off) is to close the little cabinet. Ergo - you have to unplug everything to turn these guys off. That is a small price to pay for a gadget that, while only slightly larger than a programmable calculator, delivers true high fidelity sound.
To give a concrete example: at the volume level these speakers were designed to handle (they are not very loud) they sound better than any boombox or portable I've heard. And these poratables were 10-20 times the size of these speakers.
