Cheap Speakers

JBL have proved they are very proficient in manufacturing some world class speaker units for the iPod and with the JBL Creature ll, they may well have produced the best quality unit in its class.

Some of the most important features in well designed dock include attention to the important aspects of the sound covering good treble and bass and a portable unit. One of the most important factors for many is price which is why cheap speakers are so popular.

The Creature ll appears to have effortlessly met these key criteria. The system features two small satellite speakers which produce a very good quality treble and mid-range sound. The satellite speakers are towered over by an alien like subwoofer which generates a fantastic quality bass. The sound levels can be adjusted along with volume controls on the main units.

Each unit has a good amount of cable so they can be spaced around a room to provide the desired effect. The sound quality produced is some of the best available from a speaker dock and the fact that you can adjust the bass and treble provide the ability to tune it to your desired sound.

They should be chosen for home listening rather than as an ultra portable option. They come supplied with a power adaptor and won’t run from batteries. They are lightweight though so it is easy to move them around your home or perhaps into the garden on a nice day. This is also made up for in the superior sound quality that they produce.

JBL have managed to establish themselves as a quality manufacturer of cheap speakers for the iPod and other portable music devices. They also ensure that they keep investing in keeping their most successful ranges up to date. The JBL On Stage 3 speaker dock is the next logical step in their On Stage range.

They have introduced a new remote control that provides the ability to control many aspects of the iPod from a distance. The main unit has a space age design similar to a flying saucer and has a space for the iPod to dock in its centre.

The speaker can also be used with other types of MP3 player via the line-in. The unit comes with a power adaptor but unfortunately doesn’t take batteries. This means that it should only be considered as a home listening unit rather than a more portable one.

Unlike many other docking stations, the JBL On Stage 3 features enough adaptors to work with any iPod. The unit will charge your player while it is playing which is a nice touch. It also features a remote with a good range.

It’s nice to have all of these features but the most important aspect of any speaker is its sound quality and this does not disappoint. It produces great sound quality and has a fantastic volume.

This certainly is a good choice if you are looking for a good quality speaker system for your portable music player.
