JBL On Time Black Mac/Win (Electronics)

JBL On Time literally rocks! Well, I think the review title pretty muchspeaks for itself, the JBL on time is brillient, exceptionally good value for the money, perfect sound quality, chic stylish design and very user friendly. I have to admit I was slightly put off by some of the negative comments posted about this product by other consumers. However, I decided to reserve judgement and order one. I have to say I do not understand what they were talking about as I have had no problems with my sleek and sexy looking device. The dual alram settings are just as good as any radio alarm clock I've used in the past but with the added advantage of waking up to your favourite tune. The back light can be adjusted accordingly depending on your desired level of brightness, it can even be turned off completely should it desturp you whilst in your little world of slumber. I did look into a number of other similar products on the the market such as the Bose Wave but could not justify speanding in excess of £400, this is an all round very good alternative which will look and sound good in any home. I would highly recommend this product. Enjoy! Jason Lowe

Stylish and Functional Bought one of these despite the large quantity of negative feedback on Amazon and was relieved when it lived up to my high expectations. I searched high and low for a docking station for my ipod that had a radio as well as the conventional ipod dock, there were very few to choose from. Originally I bought the Pure Digital model which has a DAB radio but when I got this home and tried it the sound quality was very poor so it went back. JBL have an excellent reputation for high quality sound reproduction and when I heard this model in the shop it was by far and away the best I heard. In response to other feedback: The AM/FM radio works fine on mine, there is minimal interference and mine is located in my kitchen where there is a significant amount of electric cabling etc. The radio tunes in single digits now so no need to change setting for europe to get 97.9, 97.8 etc. The only downsides I have found are the plastic adapters which you switch according to which ipod you have. My ipod is a nano and the adaptor for the nano doesn't fit my ipod so I have used one of the larger adapters which works fine. As another review said supporting the back of the unit whilst changing tracks etc will stop damage to the connection between the two. If you intend to use your JBL on time as a clock radio the backlight is very bright but locating mine in my kitchen this isn't a problem. Apart from those minor drawbacks this is a fantastic piece of kit, you could confidently replace most mid range home stereos with one of these.

Utter junk do not buy! Ok. being impressed by the chic style and look i bought this item, and fair enough the sound was terrific....... but. the reason i bought this and not any other was that i needed a alarm clock which would wake me with my fav song. which this white elephant cant do because i nhave a vid ipod. next it does not have a remote so u end having to use the ipods wheel.. and under 6 months worth of pressureon the contact thingy that fits into the ipod it broke... called up their service center and they will not fix it unless i have original reciept, which i do not gav. so thats £150quid down the plughole. what a load of utter trollop! anybody in their right mind do not buy!

Thank You for saving me my money, I was about to buy one for Christmas as a pezzie to me from my wife. After reading about the problems, I have decided to luck for something else. Can anyone recommend a good alternative with dual alarm.

An unbelievable disappointment I would warn anyone against buying this piece of equipment. It was so bad as to be unusable. As a clock radio, the digital display was so bright that it lit up the whole bedroom; you can turn the display brightness off; but then you can't see the controls to re-set them in the morning and actually use the thing. the only way of doing it is to unplug it so that the display comes back on -- but then you have to re-set the time. Doing that every day is a real pain. The sound quality can only be described as dismal -- you cannot use it at any volume without feedback on top end, and when "on" the machine itself makes a background electronic noise that is distracting. This piece of equipment should be taken off the market. It looks gorgeous and simply doesn't work properly.
