Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Bought this in June, and this little portable speaker packs a wallop sound-wise. It's small, but the sound is deceptively loud and crystal clear (just when I think that I've got it turned down to a reasonable level, the phone rings or my husband asks me a question and I discover that it is louder than I thought!).
I wanted to be able to play my iPod in other rooms of the house without headphones and this tiny, sleek thing is perfect for my already crowded kitchen, and is so small and light, it's no trouble to unplug and carry around to other areas (although the sound covers an entire floor of our townhouse with no trouble, so I rarely have to move it). The adaptors for the various iPod sizes really don't seem to be necessary. My Nano 2nd gen. fits right in there just fine, and so does my husband's full-size iPod. The adaptor might provide a little more support or stability for my Nano, but as I say, doesn't really seem to be necessary.
The remote is tiny, a little cheap-feeling, and it has buttons labeled with not-quite-intuitive symbols rather than the touch system that the ipod itself has, so I have to sort of think about what I'm doing when I use it. Based on reviews, I'm expecting that the remove will probably be the first thing to go.
It's also a bonus that it charges the iPod while playing.
Overall, I think this is a nifty little device and I'm very pleased with my purchase.

It's not much bigger than an iPod universal dock, it's powered by either AC outlets or four AAA batteries, and it delivers legendary JBL audio performance. In short, the fuchsia-colored JBL On Stage Micro is the ideal iPod speaker system for listeners who want to integrate small size with big sound. As a standalone iPod music system, the On Stage Micro offers a Class D digital amplifier and a pair of aluminum-domed Odyssey drivers, which combine to fill your room with accurate, full-spectrum sound. It also delivers astonishingly deep bass for a system of this size, with crisp, clean highs soaring over the top. As an alternative, you can connect it to your computer to upgrade your external speakers, giving you a great sound system for games and streaming music. Never before has something so small been quite so entertaining.
The On Stage Micro incorporates Apple's universal iPod dock adapter, which is compatible with most docking versions of the iPod, including the iPod video 5G and 5.5G and the iPod nano 1G and 2G (it offers limited functionality with iPod 3G models, however). Simply slide your iPod into the dock and you're set--no additional cords to connect or adapters to fuss with. As an added convenience, the On Stage Micro also offers an auxiliary input for connecting a variety of other portable audio devices, including the iPod shuffle, personal MP3 and CD players, desktop and laptop computers (all platforms), and satellite radio receivers. As long as your portable audio device has a 3.5 mm stereo mini-jack connection, you can play the audio through your On Stage Micro speaker.
As a bonus, the system comes with a full-navigation IR remote control, which delivers full access to your iPod so you can easily change tracks, browse libraries, adjust settings, and scroll through extras from across the room. Additional details include a OnePoint design that syncs and charges your iPod (requires mini USB cable); one-touch volume and mute controls; a memory function that remembers your last volume setting after the system shuts down; computer-optimized equalization to provide a rich, complete sound stage; and an automatic shutoff function that saves battery life when there's no audio input. The On Stage Micro, which offers more than 24 hours of continuous play with a single set of batteries, measures 2.88 by 0.62 by 2.25 inches (W x H x D) and weighs 1 pound. It's also backed by a one-year warranty.
