JBL On Stage Micro Portable iPod Speaker and Docking Station (Red) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought the JBL ON Stage Micro in red for my office. It has AMAZING sound for such a tiny unit! I have the Bose Sounddock for my iPod at home and I gotta say...this little speaker sounds like Bose's little sister! I got it on sale at my local Best Buy for $59 because, I guess, they were closing out the red one....the other colors were on sale too, but the red was the cheapest and I liked it best anyway. You will NOT be disappointed in this speaker. It comes w/ an adaptor for every iPod imaginable. I have a 30 G video and it fits nice and snug in the adapter when it is docked in the On Stage Micro. The sound is rich, clear and deep. It takes up very little space, as it's footprint is about the size of a small teacup saucer. Bonus: besides all the adapter inserts, this unit also has a cloth zippered carrying pouch that holds the speaker, cord, remote....w/ enough room for your iPod too! Oh, and the remote is great....finally, one I can control the iPod's menu with! Can scroll thru songs and everything.

iHome iP97 Dual Alarm Clock Radio for iPod and iPhone (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This clock radio is a very impressive little music machine! It sounds great for it's size, and lets you remote control your iPod or iPhone from bed or across the room. It has a few other unique features that come in very handy:
1) This particular model is "GSM shielded", which means that it actually works properly with an iPhone. If you try to use an iPhone on an older (or cheap) iPod clock radio, you'll end up hearing a bunch of static and buzzing noises if you try to play songs on the iPhone or listen to the radio when the phone is plugged in. You can get around this by putting the phone in airplane mode, but then you're going to miss calls and e-mails while you're listening to phone on your clock radio. Not cool.
2) FM Radio reception on this model is quite good, and it sounds great! AM reception isn't so hot, but I doubt that many folks who buy a high-tech clock radio like this really listen to much AM radio anymore.
3) This model has dual alarms, which didn't seem like a big deal to me at the time when I bought it. Then I realized that this thing also has a calendar built into it, and that I can program one alarm to go off during the week and a separate alarm to go off only on weekends. Sweet! No more having to shut off the daily alarm on Friday morning and having to remember to turn it back on Sunday night!
Some other thoughts... I have both an iPhone 3G and an old iPod Photo, and they both work fine in this clock radio. Even the menu navigation on the old iPod works fine from the remote. That said, you'll need to ditch the annoying little dock inserts that come with the clock radio to make the older "fat" iPod's fit. You'll also need to lose the insert if you have a case on your iPhone.. it won't fit otherwise.
Other than that annoying little flaw, it's a great product.

The iP97 is an innovative clock radio and speaker system for your iPhone. Since it's engineered to shield from those annoying iPhone/mobile phone GSM noises, no airplane mode is required. Listen away without worrying that you'll miss an important call or email while your iPhone is docked. The iP97 is packed with lots of innovative features, including alarm settings to complement your lifestyle so you can wake to your own custom iPhone playlist at different times on different days, a remote control, AM/FM radio with presets, programmable snooze settings, and SRS WOW for an enhanced audio experience. Wake up in style.

Play and Charge Your iPod/iPhone The iP97 features a Universal dock for iPhone, with inserts to fit docking iPod models as well. Enjoy your tunes or use the alarm while your device charges. When you're ready to go, your iPod/iPhone will be too.
AM/FM Radio Enjoy your favorite AM/FM programming, with quick access to preset stations.
Full-Featured Alarm Clock The iP97 allows you to wake or sleep to iPhone, iPod, playlist, AM/FM radio or--if you still insist with all these options--buzzer. The dual alarm clock with 7-5-2 alarm settings mean you can set separate wake times for full weeks, weekdays, and weekends. A programmable snooze lets you determine how much more sleep to allow yourself each time you hit it.
Both the alarm and sleep volumes are gently increased and decreased, respectively, so as not to startle the user.
A convenient DST switch allows for quick daylight-savings time adjustment when it's time to "spring forward" or "fall back."
Simple Operation The iP97 is a breeze to use, and boasts an extra-large, backlit custom LCD Display with dimmer for adjusting to your liking, and backlit buttons for visibility even in the dark.
Big Sound, Small Package The iP97 delivers powerful audio with just six watts stereo thanks to its specially designed Reson8 speaker chambers.
Reson8 is iHome's through-body ported speaker chamber technology. Porting speakers gives better bass response characteristics, and helps the iP9BR deliver sound beyond its size.
SRS WOW technology provides additional depth to your music, restoring some of what's lost in compressed digital audio formats.
Auxiliary Input Use the iP97's auxiliary line-in jack to connect external MP3 players, CD players, and other audio devices.
Remote Included Use the included remote to control iP97 features from across the room.

Griffin PowerDuo Universal Charger for USB-Charging Devices (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Problem: The 3g iPhone drains your battery like no other. If you're on a road trip or if you use the GPS extensively, you're going to need a car charger.
What we were looking for: I've read too many horror stories of third party chargers bricking iPhones. So I wanted something reliable. I looked for items they sold at the apple store here on Amazon, as it is much cheaper here. I figured if Apple was selling them, they must be more reliable than these other cheaper alternatives that have been damaging phones.
Pros:
1.USB! I think this will be the trend for chargers. More and more chargers will be USB cords, so you won't have to get a billion tips for your different devices. You just plug in the USB cord that came with your product in the first place. This is a 5.5 V system, so both my iPhone and my Jawbone work.
2.Fuse: I like that it has a fuse. Its very reassuring after reading how many iPhones have been messed up by third party chargers.
3.Dual USB on the powerblock (AC home wall adapter not cigarettelighter). You can charge 2 usb devices at once. Note that the powerjolt (cigarette lighter adapter) only has 1 usb port. I've read that other car adapters that incorporate 2 usb ports hum annoyingly.
4.Small car adapter unit: barely sticks out.
Cons:
1.The powerblock is a bit bulky. I was planning on taking this with me on trips, but I think I'll take the iPhone charger instead and leave this one at home.
Conclusion: Great car charger for the 3g iPhone, with a fuse for assurance. The powerblock unit has 2 usb devices allowing you to charge 2 usb devices at once. Just use your usb cable, no more annoying car charger adapter tips to deal with.

Gomadic Universal Charging Station for the Sony Ericsson W302 and many other mobile devices - uses Gomadic TipExchange Technology - 4 tips included Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Gomadic Universal Charging Station helps manage the mess of charging electronics. It provides a single location for charging your cell phones, iPods, MP3 players, bluetooth devices, and other accessories.
The device is quite simple... It is made from a mid-grade matte black plastic which contains the internal wiring. On the top is a rubberized "platform where you place your electronics while they charge. At the bottom of the platform are 4 cables with jacks for "tips". You plug a device-specific "tip" in to the socket and then plug the cable into your device. This allows you charge any combination of devices at your station. The tips appear to be high quality with strong clips/springs and appear to be as good as OEM parts; price is reasonable at about $5 + shipping for new tips.
The price feels bit high considering that I already have all the AC adapters I need (and half of them are USB-type adapters). However, the real value is in the organization and simplicity. We keep our electronics on the kitchen bar near the cordless phone which means there's only one free plug at any time. The Gomadic Charging Station allows us to charge 4 devices simultaneously and keep the area free of clutter and wires. There's never any tangles, missing AC adapters, or conflict over who gets to use the plug.
The few flaws I've found with the product:
1. There needs to be a "drawer" or "bin" for extra tips.
2. The tips are kind of big so it's hard to plug them in sideways.
3. Devices fit much better when the charging port is on the top or bottom; sideways devices are very awkward.
4. Ony comes in black.

For such small speakers, they deliver good sound. In fact, I love this product so much, I've ordered two more and am thinking of ordering more for gifts! This is definitely NOT a stereo system, but it is great for the kitchen, bedroom and office.

iHome iH16 Portable Speaker System for iPod (Gray) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I needed to wake up to music and had specific criteria:
1. Alarm clock must work with iPod so I could set what song I woke up to
2. Clock must have bearable alarm sound just in case iPod is not available.
3. Clock must increase sound from silence incrementally so I'm not jarred out of sleep.
4. Clock must be small and portable so I can pick it up and walk with it while I get ready in the AM w/o waking hubby
5. Clock must work on batteries and wall plug that detaches
6. Clock must be white or silver
And with that said, this clock was so perfect it's like I imagined it! Not only that it's an travel clock so it's portable enough for trips. It does not have all the wiz bang of some of the other clocks but I really didn't need all of that. The unit is much smaller than it looks on the site and the speakers pack a serious punch (they are on the sides). I would buy this again and I've been recommending it to all my friends. Perfect!

This stylish travel iPod alarm clock is great for home or on the go. Wake and Sleep to your favorite music while charging your iPod.

Wake or Sleep to iPod Waking up to your favorite music is a great way to start the day. The iHM16 lets you wake to your iPod, gradually increasing the volume so as not to jar you out of sleep too forcefully. If there is no iPod present or there is no music detected on the iPod at alarm time, the iH16 will automatically switch to buzzer alarm, to make sure you get there on time. The requisite nine-minute snooze is also included, since it takes some of us a little longer to get out of bed.

You can adjust the sleep timer from 90, 60, 30 or 15 minutes, and the sleep features a volume setting independent from the alarm volume.

Charge Your iPod While you're recharging in your sleep, your iPod's filling up on electricity, so when you hit the pavement your iPod will be ready to go.

Dimmer Settings The snooze button also changes the dimmer, so you can adjust the display to your desired brightness. Choose from three settings.

Sure Alarm Provided you have installed four "AA" batteries, you'll still make it to work in the event of a power outage, thanks to iHome's "Sure Alarm" backup feature.

Quality Sound The iHM16 delivers great sound thanks to iHome's specially designed Reson8 speaker chambers. Reson8 is iHome's through-body ported speaker chamber technology. Porting speakers gives better bass response characteristics, and helps the iiHM16 deliver sound beyond its size.

Auxiliary Input The iHM16 features a standard 3.5mm "mini" jack, so you can connect MP3 players, CD players, or most any other audio device.

Three Tasty Colors Get an iHM16 to suit your style--available in lilac, gray, or blue.

DLO 009-9765 HomeDock Deluxe for iPod Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this dock for the "onscreen display" capability as you navigate the iPod menus, to use it with my Ipod Video. Well, it took reading the fine print "note" in the manual to realize that onscreen navigation is only good for the "music" menus, NOT for photos or videos. When I read the box again I noticed the subtle wording difference: you can "navigate" and "select" the songs, but can only "display" and "control" the photos and the videos. In summary, when it comes to photos or videos, what you are getting is nothing more than you get with a $ 39.00 Apple iPod Universal Dock. Hmmm... I think this should have been clearly announced on the box, so that you can make an informed decision, whether you want to pay $ 110.00 extra just to see the song names on your TV screen. I returned mine.

Click Here to see more reviews about: DLO 009-9765 HomeDock Deluxe for iPod

The DLO 009-9765 HomeDock Deluxe for iPod is the world's first iPod dock that lets you view and select your iPod's music on your TV screen, allowing you to navigate, select and play your songs using the included 18-button remote control. The HomeDock Deluxe will change the way you experience your iPod, your music, and now your iTunes Movies, letting you browse through Playlists, Artists, Albums, Songs, Genres and more, even watching movies on your big screen at DVD resolutions, all from the comfort of your sofa.
DLO's 009-9765 displays your iPod's music content on a beautifully designed HomeDock TV interface that's as clear and cool as the iPod itself. You can even customize colors, choosing from four different color themes including Aqua, Forest, Teal or Metal to match the decor of any room in your house. You can also choose from several screen savers, such as a Status Bar screen saver that shows your iPod's current status, song and album information on a moving graphic billboard. The HomeDock Deluxe's intuitive remote control lets you navigate with ease through your songs and playlists to select just the right tunes for any occasion, letting you control 14 various iPod functions. The HomeDock displays the currently playing song info and progress at the top of your screen while letting you select another song from the listings below, with names and titles that are large and easy to read from anywhere in the room.
In taking the entertainment out of your pocket and putting it on the big screen, the HomeDock Deluxe offers two distinct modes: On-Screen Navigation Mode for music interface on your TV, and iPod Mode to play videos or photo slideshows on your TV directly from the iPod. You can quickly switch modes with the push of a button to watch and control videos and photo slideshows from your iPod, or browse and play music with on-screen navigation. This unit connects to your home entertainment system or stereo via standard RCA plugs, so you don't have to worry about any adapters or Y-cables. Your iPod's music is sent to your stereo through the superior audio line-out from the bottom of the iPod, which provides for a much higher-quality audio signal than if you simply plugged your iPod into your stereo with a Y-cable from the headphone jack. With no adapters, and no loose cables, all you have to deal with is great sounding iPod music coming through your existing home stereo.
The DLO 009-9765 HomeDock Deluxe works with all dockable, click wheel iPods including the: iPod Nano (1st and 2nd generation), iPod Video, iPod Color, 4G iPod and iPod mini models. Your iPod can connect to your large-screen TV via a standard A/V connection, or through S-Video, allowing you to not just watch movies, but view picture slideshows with music. The HomeDock Deluxe fully powers and charges your iPod while in use, and comes with all the necessary cables to get going right out of the box, including an AC power adapter and an A/V cable. The low-profile HomeDock Deluxe comes in black to match both your iPod and home decor, measures 5.75 x 1 x 3.75 inches (W x H x D), and it's backed by a manufacturer's 90-day warranty.
What's in the Box The DLO 009-9765 HomeDock Deluxe base module, the HomeDock 18-button remote control with battery, an adjustable iPod support, 1 x 6-foot A/V cable (left-right stereo audio, composite video), 1 x 6-inch RCA-to-minijack adapter, 1 x 12-volt AC power adapter, and a user's manual.

iLuv i177 Alarm Clock Speaker System for iPod (White) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)** Update June 11, 2009 **
I just wanted to correct an error below where I indicated that the iLuv wasn't properly charging my iPod. I don't know what was happening when I was trying it out but I really have had no problem across 2 different iPods with charging since I posted the review.
Still can't think of any use for the remote however... :)
** End Update **
I picked up the black iLuv iPod speaker system after doing considerable research online. These reviews are pretty helpful so I thought I'd add my 2 cents worth so that you can know what you're getting.
By and large the other reviews agree with my experience. The sound quality is very good for a small unit. You want to pick a playlist before you go to bed otherwise you get whatever is randomly selected from your library (I presume this is due to my election to shuffle all songs in my iPod settings).
I don't have much use for the remote but it's nice that it's included and it works well when I *do* play with it.
The unit has performed excellently since I purchased it two months ago but I'll make some observations:
- the rotating volume and tuning dials are apparently supposed to continue the click wheel paradigm from the iPod, but they do so mechanically and are often a little awkward to use.
- do NOT count on the unit properly charging your iPod. It *does* charge it somewhat so the iPod seems to me like it will run indefinitely while attached to the unit. But I've found that the iPod is not fully charged when I pull it off the iLuv. Fortunately, realizing this, I just make sure that I plug in my iPod when working out in my gym or I leave it attached to my computer until it *is* charged when I'm picking up my podcasts in the morning. This may just be my unit but it was a low point in my commute when my iPod battery ran out of steam that first time before I realized what was going on. I'm pretty rigorous about ensuring that it's charged before I leave the house.
- I agree with others that the minimum volume for alarms needs to be lower. It would also be nice if the volume ramp-up time could be adjusted. The unit comes on and fades up to the pre-selected volume pretty quickly.
- Finally the lights, that dimmest setting may seem dim in the middle of the day, but it's pretty overwhelming in an otherwise pitch-black room. A "Glow" setting or similar would be nice. As it is, when I want to know the time at night I hit the dimmer button to check the time, then hit it three more times to cycle the light through medium and high intensities and then to off again.
None of the above items are showstoppers for me, just 'nits that you can either live with or can't. Knowing what I know now, I would purchase the iLuv again. It has most of the features I need and the price is reasonable.

iHome iP9 Speaker Dock with Clock Radio for iPod and iPhone (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have searched hard to find the "perfect" iPod alarm clock. For me, the iHome iP9 comes closer than anything else I found, but it does have some very annoying flaws.
In my opinion, the best features are:
* The alarm can be set to wake to a random song on an "iHome" playlist on your iPod. Only Sanyo seems to have a product with a similar feature, but I think theirs looks REALLY ugly.
* The backlight dimmer has 7 levels of brightness and can even be turned off.
* You can adjust the snooze time from 1 to 29 minutes in 1-minute increments.
* The alarm volume (for radio and iPod) gradually increases for "gentle" waking.
* The sound quality is quite good for such a small unit.
The things that annoy me about the unit are:
* The alarm set buttons are located directly behind the snooze bar, and hitting one of these buttons resets the alarm when the alarm is sounding. While the snooze bar is very big and has a bump that you can feel with your fingers, I fear that I will accidentally turn off my alarm one morning when just trying to snooze for a few more minutes.
* There is a beep when setting the alarm. While this offers audio confirmation of your alarm setting actions, it can be annoying if you are trying to set the alarm when your significant other is sleeping.
* The dial controls are cool in theory/aesthetic but are not so great in practice. It can be more time-consuming to use these to set the alarm time and other settings when compared to conventional buttons and a system where one sets the hour and minute independently. Also, the dials are mechanical (unlike an iPod) and lack an indent or other means for providing traction. So, your finger can slip, making them not so easy to turn. For this, I found a simple work-around: I stuck on each dial a small, round, self-adhesive, clear plastic bumper (something you can find in any hardware store). This makes it much easier to turn the dials, but it does not get around the fact that dials are not always the best interface.
* Personally, I find only the dimmest and off settings for the backlight to be of any use. Perhaps, the other backlight settings would be needed if the unit is placed in direct sunlight. However, I find them too bright, and it is very slightly annoying that I need to press the dimmer button to cycle through the 6 other "on" settings each time I turn the backlight off. While definitely better than some competing units whose backlight is always way too bright (e.g. the Sony ICF-CD3iP), even the dimmest setting can be rather bright in a totally dark room.
For me, the positive outweighs the negative when evaluating this unit as an iPod alarm clock. While not my primary usage (and paling in comparison to a dedicated home stereo), I found the sound on this unit to be surprisingly good when using the unit as an iPod speaker system for casual listening in a small room.

The iP9 is an innovative clock radio for iPhone and iPod designed to shield annoying iPhone/mobile phone GSM noise. This way, the airplane mode is not required, and you'll never miss a call again when your iPhone is docked. The iP9 has several unique features, including a remote control, AM/FM presets, EQ controls, and even 3D sound for an enhanced audio experience. The iP9 also allows you to wake to your custom iPod playlist at different times on different days, with iHome's 7-5-2 feature and programmable snooze settings. You'll also enjoy great sound around the clock with their Reson8 stereo speaker chambers.


iPod, iPhone, Radio, or Buzzer Alarm Wake to your docked iPod, the radio, or--if you must--a classic buzzer alarm. Whichever you choose, a gradual alarm feature gently raises the alarm volume, so it's not too jarring. Dual alarm lets you set separate wake times.

You can set separate wake times for weekdays and weekends, and you can wake to the playlist or song of your choice.

Programmable Snooze The iP9's programmable snooze feature allows you to set snooze intervals of 1 to 29 minutes, so you can milk every last second of sleep before you're late for work.

Sleep Features Drift off to your iPod, iPhone, or radio, with programmable sleep times of 120, 90, 60, 30, or 15 minutes. Gentle Sleep gradually decreases the music volume as you drift off to dreamland.

What's more, an Adjustable Sleep volume solves an age-old alarm clock problem, allowing you to select a comfortable "sleep" volume level without affecting the "wake to" or listening volume levels.

Play and Charge Your iPod or iPhone The iP9's universal dock plays and charges most docking iPod models (in addition to using them for alarms), along with the iPhone. So when you do finally wake up, your device will have a full charge as you head out the door.

DST Switch Switch to daylight savings time at the flick of a switch, rather than pushing buttons for that whole extra hour.

AM/FM Radio The iP9 delivers solid radio listening, complete with an external AM antenna for better reception. Save your favorite stations on the AM/FM presets.

Big Sound, Small Package The iP9 delivers powerful audio with stereo drivers in specially designed Reson8 speaker chambers.

Reson8 is iHome's through-body ported speaker chamber technology. Porting speakers gives better bass response characteristics and helps the iP9 deliver sound beyond its size.

Bass, treble, 3D, and balance controls let you further adjust the sound to your liking.

Auxiliary Input Connect external devices like MP3 or CD players to the rear auxiliary input for your enjoyment.

Full-Function Remote Control Enjoy convenient control from a distance with the included remote--control both radio and iPod functions.

What's in the Box iP9 Clock Radio and Audio System (Black), remote control, docking inserts, AC power adapter, AM antenna and stand, and owner's manual.

Memorex Mi8000BLK iFlip 8.4-Inch Portable Video System for iPod (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The unit is not bad for its ability to charge the ipod while on DC and for its decent and very customizable IQ with videos. The photos don't look good on its LCD screen at all due to blowing out of highlights and distortion of color. The audio is OK, but not great and there is a picking up of the drive's whine and noise that most of the time gets through the speakers at the highest volume settings you will need. I used the Ipod 80GIG video and it fit in the iFlip OK with the 60GIG bracket that came with the iFlip.
As for Tiger Direct, I had to call 5 times to arange for the return and full refund with a call tag due to a bad pixel on the screen! Every time someone said a different thing and 2 people promised me to issue call tags for return. Both did nothing. On the fifth call I got lucky and spoke with a nice guy who has just assured me that he will issue a call tag and gave me his extension number for future reference. So... they do have some good people working for them, but what a hassle this has been! We will see if they come through with the refund for the unit that came from them with a dead pixel. I will post a follow up if and when they do!...
As to the unit, I suggest buying locally and checking it out thoroughly and with a return policy.
It is also not small nor light, so don't think you will carry it along in your pocket of the coat or jacket. This is for these times you go on the plane or the train for a long trip. The audio and video can be just as easily connected from the ipod to any TV or monitor so you don't need the Iflp to do it although it can. Enjoy....

Griffin iTrip LCD FM Transmitter for iPod nano 1G (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've tried a few FM transmitters for my various iPods, from Griffin and other manufacturers, and this one sounds as good as any I've used, which is to say not all that terrific - it's OK for non-critical listening in the car, but if you want consistent, crystal-clear, high quality sound without crackling and hiss you'll have to go for some sort of direct-wired approach.
Setting aside the limits of the technology itself, I'd give Griffin's approach four stars - this is a nice little gadget, and very easy to use. It's beautifully designed; the sled arrangement allows it to "bond" with the Nano very nicely - it looks like one integrated unit (though I wish Griffin had offered it in white as well as black). The iTrip hijacks the Nano's screen, which makes for easy tuning and adjustment of preferences (stereo/mono, etc). I haven't noticed a problem yet with the "micro-suction" pad that holds the Nano to the transmitter, but keeping the pad clean is probably a necessity.
Speaking of which, the iTrip comes with a nice little grey cloth pouch that holds the Nano and transmitter snugly - the inside of the pouch is soft, but it also sheds a lot of very fine dust onto the unit for a few days, which probably doesn't help the pad's sticking power.
One caveat - you can't use this transmitter with a Nano case (which may explain why Griffin included a pouch). I've got the clear plastic "Invisibleshield" on my Nano, so it's not a problem for me.
It strikes me as a little overpriced, but it's certainly the best available solution for people who want to listen to their Nano in the car but can't hardwire a connection.

iHome iHM9 Portable Stereo System for iPod, iPhone, and MP3 Players (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've spent a lot of time and some money looking for a suitable speaker set for my Ipod Touch. I like to view movies while laying in bed and this is perfect. No power cords to get in the way, sound is good for my purposes. There is a little ledge to rest the Ipod on, and it allows me to view in landscape mode. All the docking speakers force me to remove the case and most of them force portrait mode position. This is perfect as I don't want to struggle with the case or viewing position. It's a great value for my uses.
Pros:
Landscape mode viewing
Sound is good
Don't have to remove case from ipod
Inexpensive
No power cord so very portable
Cons:
Doesn't charge Ipod
Battery powered (4 AAs)

A compact and portable speaker system for your iPod or MP3 player, iHome's iHM9 keeps it simple. Share your sounds anywhere with this contemporary, space-saving design.

Works with Most MP3 Players This speaker system connects to your MP3 player, iPod, or other device using a standard 3.5-mm connector. You could even use it to amplify laptops or other devices. Just plug the attached audio patch cord located on the back of the unit into the headphone or line-out jack on your player, and you're set.

Most MP3 players and iPods will be small enough to lean right against the face of the device while in use.

Ultra-Portable The iHM9 defines portable, featuring a spot to wrap your cable in back and a protective carrying case. Throw it in your bag next time you head to the beach, camp, or go anywhere else you might want some musical accompaniment.

Battery Operation This speaker system operates on four AA batteries (not included) for go-anywhere sound. Use alkaline batteries for long playback time, or rechargeables for a greener option.

Note that no AC power source is included--batteries only.

EXB Bass The iHM9 features an EXB circuit for expanded bass, to deliver richer sound than you might expect from a speaker system this size.

JBL On Stage Micro Portable Ipod Speaker and Docking Station (Fuchsia) Review

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.
