5.0 out of 5 stars Best ipod dock available on the market., May 22, 2009

By	M. Long (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I read up about several iPod speaker docks before I decided on this one. The gizmodo ipod dock face-off helped a lot in my decision (http://i.gizmodo.com/5211025/ipod-dock-8+way-battlemodo). They tested several well known brand docks against each other including JBL, Sony, Bose, Altec Lansing, Klipsch, and Logitech. This JBL dock came out on top even over the Bose and after listening to it for a while now I can see why.

Crystal clear sound, deep clear bass, crisp mids and highs. What especially surprised me was the bass. I wasn't aware that such deep bass could be produced from a small ipod dock. I was able to listen to the Bose dock at Best Buy. Being in a huge store probably didn't help the bass but there was virtually no difference in sound between the two, and the JBL is less then half the price.

I personally like the design of the JBL over the Bose. A sexy silver and black oval shaped speaker with my iphone sitting on top. The speaker is shielded so there is no interference whatsoever from my iphone. And my iphone sits sturdy on the top with the correct adapter. The remote is also very useful as you can change volume, skip, pause, and navigate menus with it.

For me this is without a doubt the best ipod speaker dock on the market.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm sooo happy, August 15, 2009

By	Richard Roberts "sound yogi" (Arizona) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'm very critical of sound quality and I was looking for an iPod dock to take to Mexico with me on vacation. I looked and listened to everything available at brick & mortar stores.
The Bose was too expensive. I knew that. Long story short...The JBL On Stage 400P was a gamble-it lacked some bells and whistles that other docks had but I kept coming back to sound quality, which mattered most to me. I also hesitated with this purchase because it was available at WALMART of all places.

Finally! a purchase that really and truly made me happy. It was on 24/7 in Mexico. I had none of the issues other people had. It's not cheap/inexpensive but it was a great investment for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars FANTASTIC PRODUCT!!!, October 15, 2009

My Toyota RAV4 has an upgraded JBL audio system with a subwoofer which sounds very good, so I was very keen on checking JBL's iPhone docks. I listened to the JBL 200id right next to a Bose sound dock at Target. Also listened to the iHome IP1 at Best Buy The iHome IP1 had too much bass and lacked the audio clarity I was looking for. I liked the clarity of the JBL but it was lacking the bass. The 400p makes up for it with the built-in subwoofer. It makes a BIG difference in the overall audio output. The simplicity of this unit with 1 Power on/off button at the back and a "+" & "-" volume control buttons on the unit is great! The remote has more buttons that can control the iPhone/iPod etc so if you want that functionality, it's there. The size is just perfect even with the built-in subwoofer and it looks classy too! Overall I'm extremely happy with this product and would definitely recommend it for in-home use. It doesn't have a rechargeable battery so is not portable but that was not my criteria since this unit is always plugged into a power outlet. Keep rolling out such excellent products JBL!
