JBL On Stage 200ID Loudspeaker Dock
The Cream of the Crop
Written by SE from epsom
Apr 23, 2009
I just could not decide on the best dock for my iPhone 3g so ended up ordering the 200id, the JBL onstage 3 and the Bose sounddock…Read more 2.
If you had just heard the onstage 3 and nothing else you would be amazed at the sound from such a small unit......until you listen to the Bose and you suddenly get hit by a smooth bassy sound stage. But that is the problem with the Bose - it's all richness and no subtle upper ranges and with some tracks you almost entirely loose the mid to high range.
And that it where the 200id comes into play - you get a wonderful mix of highs and lows, not too shrill, and not bloaty with fat muddy bass, just an incredible sound from such a small footprint.
People visiting just do not believe the sound that comes from this unit - a perfect mix that is not shy at going uncomfortably loud yet not loosing the plot and distorting.
Following a thorough test of all 3 speakers I had my undisputed winner - I even ran a blindfolded test of with 3 family members who voted unanimously that the 200 sound was the best one.
The Apple store service was absolutely fantastic, ordered the 3 units at 1530 in the afternoon and the parcels were on my doorstep the next day before noon. When I phoned to return the other 2 speakers, the courier turned up the day after - now that is priceless customer service.Was this useful?

Bought this because of the great sound (better than Bose IMO) and half the cost, but I had the same problems with the random volum…Read moree change. It'll be going back, but if you aren't using it with a 3G, then buy, buy buy! great product other than this interface issue, and I'll be keeping an eye out to see if they fix this issue with a new model.

Excellent Speaker
Written by YX from TORONTO
Apr 18, 2008
Hi, I just got my JBL 200ID today. The sound is excellent on my itouch. Highly recommended. I am an electrical engineer, so I can …Read moreexplain how to choose a speaker from it specs. When you compare speakers you can check four basic specs. The first one is Power, the greater the power the louder your speaker can go, however louder of the sound doesn’t mean it has good quality.
In order to check for the quality of sound you need look out for two things. One is called input impedance for an idea amplifier the input impedance is infinite, but we can’t achieve infinite impedance in our world, so the larger the impedance the better, because it can regenerate a more accurate sound.
Another one to look for is Signal-to noise ratio (SNR): Hence the name signal to noise ratio is the desired signal to the power of the noise. Thus, we want higher the SNR is better. Note the unit of SNR is in dB. dB is a log scale which means if one speaker has SNR is 80dB and another one is 85dB, the difference of the two is 5dB, in linear scale the factor is three. In another word, the signal is three times better.
The last one is Frequency response, for human year the range of sound we can hear is from 20 Hz to 20kHz. Therefore idea speaker will cover the whole range. Of course in reality not every speaker can meet this range but the more closer to this range the speaker is better.
Well, I hope it will help you to choose your idea speaker. Last thing this JBL 200ID is great speaker highly recommended.

JBL On Stage 200ID Loudspeaker Dock
Late but great
Written by MM from LOCUST VALLEY

The JBL On Stage 200ID, originally due out in February, just made its debut on the Apple Store. I had listened to the Altec Lansin…Read moreg T612, and was impressed, but it doesn't allow you to simply answer an incoming call – you have to pull the iPhone from its cradle to converse. I ordered mine on April 10 and got it (without paying for expedited shipping) the next day.
The unit is elegant and very light. It comes with a mini remote, an audio cord (for non-docking audio sources), and an assortment of cradle modifiers to accommodate several flavors of iPod and of course, the iPhone. I had my unit up and running within a minute of opening the box, minus the cradle insert, which I only discovered later upon reading the scanty documentation. The minimalist on-board controls consist of I/O, + (louder) and – (you get the idea). A power port and audio in flank the I/O switch, and a minute green LED provides the only feedback. The diminutive, made-to-be-lost remote offers standard nav and control features. (To remove the protective strip over the battery, squeeze the small end clip in towards the center, then pull the battery cradle out.)
To my untutored ears, the sound is great, and I haven't even had the nerve to crank it up all the way. It seems to reproduce frequencies across the board with verve and clarity, and I'm completely satisfied. As for functionality, an incoming call stops the play, the ringtone sounds, the unit becomes a virtual speakerphone (but you're using the iPhone's mike), and when you end the call, play resumes. In short, this unit, some $50 less than the T612, was well worth the wait.
Pros: Great sound, no GSM interference, excellent iPhone compatibility, compact and attractive, charges docked iPhone even when unit is turned off, extremely easy to set up and use.
Cons: Requires AC, no built-in mike for speakerphone, sparse documentation for iPhone users. Apple description indicates a USB connection in rear of unit: I may be blind, but I can't find it.

Most importantly, however, the dock sounds fantastic - it is frankly surprising that so much sound comes from such a little package. I think it sounds crisper than the other Altec Lansing dock as well. I took a bit of a gamble with this thing because I couldn't find any reviews on it, but I am more than happy with it.
