5 out of 5 starsNice sound, inexpensive, and travel-friendly!, 2008-10-12
These speakers have really great sound for the size and price! I listen mainly to classical music these days, and even for that purpose the sound is perfectly adequate.

Of course, they are no replacement for a serious sound system. However, if you want to have decent-quality sound for your music or podcasts while traveling, this set is for you.

I bring it with me when traveling mainly because I find the quality of my laptop speakers insufficient, especially at the low end. At home, I use a larger set of Creative speakers with a sub-woofer hooked up to the laptop, but this little JBL unit gives those speakers a run for the money.

These are not going to give you bass that will shake the room, but there is enough bass to give music as well as spoken-word podcasts a surprising and pleasing richness and depth.

It comes with a carrying bag, which is nice, but it would be even nicer if the bag were big enough to hold the AC adapter as well -- that is my only complaint. As it is, the adapter must be packed separately -- bad for absent-minded types like me. A big plus for international travelers is that the AC adapter takes power in the 110-240V range, so you only need a plug adapter, not a transformer, to use it in countries with different power standards.

I got these speakers on sale in a Gold Box special for $35, and I've seen them on sale for about that price a few times since then. You might want to hold out until that price or something similar rolls around again. I felt that especially at that price this purchase was a real bargain, though really they are probably worth more as well. Highly recommended!

4 out of 5 starsGood things do come in small packages, 2008-10-10
With the airlines charging for bags now-a-days, I'm going 100% carry on this year. But I didn't want to leave my Pod and speakers home. The JBL On Tour fit my need perfectly. Only 1 pound, nice carrying sack and the sound is great at low and medium volume. Sure, it doesn't carry a big thump like a big subwoofer would, but for traveling with both music and books-on-pod I think this little JBL fit the bill.

5 out of 5 starsGood sound in portable speaker, 2008-10-10
Good sound in a portable speaker.
Wish it had a place for the connecting cord, but oh well.
Compact and speakers are protected when case is closed.
It is not a "room filler", but is probably best of breed for portables.

4 out of 5 starsNice quality, decent speaker system, 2008-10-03
We use this product to amplify of DVD player in the van so that the kids can hear movies better. It works very good for that purpose.

The sound is also considerably better quality and the speakers on my laptop. So, I use the On Tour speakers in the house when I'm playing music off my computer.

You can run it off batteries or electricity. This is also a very convenient feature.
