Fantastic Sound! A Few Potential Glitches.,
I was dubious of this petite system’s power (it was soooo much smaller than I imagined!) But the depth of sound produced was truly impressive! What follows are the pros and cons of the JBL On Stage IV. I hope they help you in your decision-making process.
Pros:
1.) This diminutive dock consumes very little space. Extremely efficient!
2.) Aesthetically speaking, it is surprisingly intriguing to the eye. The criss-cross pattern is quite appealing/entertaining … and, though I am not tremendously fond of glossy plastic, it really does work in contrast to the alternating speakers (see the picture and you will understand what I mean). When a product looks this great, fingerprints wipe off:) A truly stellar example of form and function!
3.) The sound was genuinely surprising. The base was richer than I expected. Very lush, indeed!
4.) There is virtually no excess energy used. There is no LED screen. Basically, the area surrounding the iPod is illuminated in a soft, white light. That is the only indicator that the product is on. This may appeal to those focused on conserving resources/energy.
(Potential) Cons:
1.) The power button is located on the back of the device. And, it requires more pressure and depth to activate than normal. On three separate occasions, I went to use the dock … and each time I failed to actually turn it on. One must press down firmly to make it work (it sharply “clicks” into place). This will not impact most buyers but could be problematic for those with arthritis or any type of physical disability.
2.) Other than the power and volume buttons, there are no other button on the device. If one loses the remote-control (or breaks it), the product becomes a little difficult to use. (Those with precocious children may want to consider that when purchasing this item). However, the absence of these buttons really does contribute to a “slick” appearance (which I very much enjoy!)
For most folks, this unit be ideal: it is beautiful and provides great sound. For some, those small detractions I mentioned may prove prohibitive.
Good luck in your search!

|Great Sound in a Small Package,
The On Stage IV is a very simple product. There is no screen and the only ports are an input (headphone jack for inputting sound from non-iPod devices), USB (to pass through to a computer if you’d like to sync while it is playing), and power. The power cord can be ditched in lieu of batteries, which go discreetly in the bottom. While the device looks great and would be at home in a fancy hotel, it is also quite small and I had pretty low expectations. The sound is really great, though. I compared it to my much larger set with separate left, right, and bass speakers and found it completely superior. It has surprising range. Speakers this small tend to have empty bass, but somehow the sound is quite full. Turning it all the way up, the speakers showed no sign of strain. The one area it can’t compete in is audio separation, since the speakers are so close together. However, the strange angling fills the room with sound and works well for what it is. I was so impressed with the sound that I think it would make great portable speakers for a laptop as well, and it even did well with action scenes.
If you want something small with an interesting modern look, I think you’ll be very happy with this speaker dock.

|Fantastic Sound!,
This ipod dock with speakers has a cool design and is very sleek in appearance. It’s very user-friendly for non-tech heads like me. But most importantly, the sound is AMAZING, given the size of the speakers. The sound has the perfect balance of bass and upper register notes. With classical music, the whole spectrum of sound is reached and with vocal music, the voice is not overly echoed, but rather right in the center of the sound. I was very surprised at how this little device could fill my living room with a full, rich sound. Recommended!
