"Connecting every music lover to their music no matter where they are is what JBL is all about" NORTHRIDGE, Calif.-(BUSINESS WIRE)-HARMAN International Industries, Incorporated (NYSE:HAR), today announced the release of the JBL On Stage®* Micro IV and JBL On Stage Micro III iPod®/iPhone® docking stations. Mini iPod® and iPhone® Docks Feature New, Dynamic "Weave" Industrial Design with Beloved, Legendary JBL Sound ![]() JBL claims that the dock will work with even the new iPhone 3G.JBL On Stage®* IV and JBL On Stage Micro III Get New Groove, Set the Trend Again with Latest Iconic Docking Stations We wouldn't recommend using it outside (the bass almost disappears), but indoors the sound is good. We wish the speaker had a built-in rechargeable battery instead, but you can always pick up rechargeable AA batteries.Īt $169, this is a fairly expensive iPod speaker, but the JBL OnStage IIIp is small enough to be your primary audio system in a den or office, and it's easily portable. The battery compartment on the bottom holds 6 AA batteries (not included), which give you about 12 hours of playback time. You can talk on the phone while it's in the dock, but you'll be using the iPhone's mic, which won't pick you up from very far away, and the audio will come from the iPhone itself. The call audio does not come out of the speakers, there's no built-in mic in the speaker, and the only buttons the speaker has are for power and volume. As with Altec Lansing's T612, when a call comes in, your music will mute and you'll hear your ringtone. But the unit doesn't work as a speakerphone and won't play iPhone ringtones when a call comes in. ![]() We're glad that the On Stage IIIP is shielded against the dreaded GSM buzz so you don't have to put an iPhone into Airplane mode. The speakers really shone on acoustic jazz (such as Miles Davis' Sketches of Spain), with good detail in the mids and highs. Snoop Dogg's "G-Funk" intro sounded better because the bass isn't as deep, so it came through loud and clear. We listened to some Bob Marley, and although the bass lines were clearly audible, the lowest notes lacked any impact. Even so, the IIIp would struggle to fill more than a small bedroom. The IIIP's drivers are tiny, and there's no built-in subwoofer, but the bass port on the back helps boost the low end a little. ![]()
