 Nice sound August 12, 2008

used this product to hear my ipod music in my room. Sounds perfect, with little distortion. As a room stereo system it works fine. Maybe not good enough for a house sound system
 Brilliant! July 21, 2008

Brilliant this is just what I was looking for - great sound, compact & portable. Combination of battery/mains is really useful - and it looks good.
Great Product for a great price July 13, 2008

This is a great product that i purchased a good year ago and still use today. Doesnt take up much space, good battery life off charger, loud enough to annoy the neighbors next door and charges your iPod a treat. It does have other ports that I haven't found any use for yet but if you can understand the point of USB, Audio In and Audio Out ports then even better for you!
The only niggle is that the remote is far too easy to misplace, what with being about 4cm long and half a centimetre thin.
Does anyone know where to get a replacement remote for this product though? I lost mine about a week after purchase and whereas it is still perfectly useable without I really would like to find a replacement so i can enjoy the full experience I paid for.
perfect for its purpose June 15, 2008

Having given my now 8 yr old daughter my "old" iPod when I got a new one for Xmas & then worrying about uncontrolled listening volume with earphones, I wanted to find her some speakers that give good sound but are small enough to fit comfortably on her desk or bedside table. And quite by chance, I found this little gem! The sound is excellent for its size and certainly adequate for a bedroom. Neat & elegant design, easy to use... perfect.
 Sorry to spoil the party but . . . it sounds 'mushy' March 31, 2008

I'm not as impressed with the JBL Micro as much as I wanted to be. As with many things, your view on this will depend on how it ranks against your expectations. I wasn't expecting it to pump out sound like a good hi-fi - it's only small and, depending where and when you buy it, it's only 50. But, that's still 50 and therefore you are expecting something.
There are some real plus points - it looks great, is very neat and feels well-built and substantial without being unduly heavy. The remote also works very well with an ipod and it can sound pretty good (Joss Stone's 'The Soul Sessions' sounds great for example). The volume of sound easily fills an average room. Added to that it comes with a range of inserts for cradling different ipods, runs on AC or batteries and has a good soft case supplied.
This all sounds good but the downsides for me were that there's little bass - though that can be improved by 1.) placing it on a solid/dense base, rather than for example a coffee table and 2.) using the bass boost EQ setting. A bigger downside was that even some non-bassy tracks sounded 'mushy' at normal volumes when referenced against headphones or a normal hi-fi set up. This was a problem as although the JBL Micro is only ever intended to be used for a kitchen, study bedroom or hotel room, for me it still needs to sound okay. I can forgive it not being able to blare out at high volume; can probably forgive the lack of bass, but even for occassional use at normal volume I'd want it to sound okay otherwise I'd just end up avoiding using it - which means even 50 is too much.
My girlfriend though thinks it's great . . . which is why she is now the proud owner of it and I've gone for the Logitech Pure-Fi Anywhere as a portable ipod speaker system!
