JBL On Tour Portable Speaker System

I ordered these speakers as one of the “Deal of the Day” items last week. I’ve been wanting something like this because I love listening to my ipod while I work around the house, but I can’t stand having the headphones on. Try cleaning the tub with the cords dangling everywhere!

So, with the price being right I ordered these speakers, fully expecting a much bigger unit. When the box arrived, I was dismayed at the packaging. It comes packed in that thick plastic that you need a strong pair of scissors and some luck from above to get open. A couple of bleeding knuckles later, and I was able to wrench it free from the packing. (thus my four star rating, rather than five. Any item that causes me to bleed automatically loses a star.)

I wasn’t sure if this small little unit would deliver enough sound in my house that has 14′ vaulted ceilings and an open floorplan. Boy was I surprised!! This thing sounds amazing! It’s light and portable enough to carry from room to room, but I don’t think I’ll need to! I can just leave it set up in the kitchen and hear it all over the house.

I agree with others who say that it’s too bad that you have to unplug the whole thing to close the lid but, like they also said, it’s barely worth mentioning……barely.

I’m exceptionally happy with this unit.
