The JBL OnBeat Air will revolutionize the way you listen to music. It wirelessly streams your entire iTunes 10.1 library from any Mac computer or PC - or from any iPad, iPod or iPhone device running iOS 4.2 or later - to any room in your house. Now you can stream any song or playlist from any compatible device within range of your Wi-Fi network, with playback control via an IR remote. But the JBL OnBeat Air is more than just a great-sounding music system. An ingenious connector firmly docks your iPad, iPod or iPhone for syncing and charging, and lets you position iPod and iPhone screens in portrait or landscape orientation for the best display of video content. With an optional composite cable, it can even send photos and videos to your TV for the whole crowd to enjoy together. Featuring dual JBL Phoenix full-range transducers with computer-optimized DSP equalization, the JBL OnBeat Air will fill your room with a dynamic, lifelike 360-degree soundstage. The JBL OnBeat Air is among the most versatile, capable and powerful loudspeaker docks JBL engineering has ever produced, with the industry leading performance you expect of JBL products.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.
You can trust this review, i hope you can try to buy this product and then you know this product good or no. Next time you can make a review for another people.
Excellent, with a few annoyances.
First, the good stuff:
1.) Easy setup to your Wifi network. You connect to the On Beat Air from your iDevice or computer over adhoc WiFi, and then set it up to connect to your WiFi network. This took me under 60 seconds. The instruction sheet lays this out perfectly simply.
2.) Once connected to your network, I found the On Beat Air to maintain a very solid connection to my Apple Time Capsule wireless router. Excellent. AirPlay worked flawlessly.
3.) A simple LED lit solid indicates the connection to your network has been made. The connection LED is white, rather than piercing blue, which is much preferred.
4.) The dock for charging your iDevice will fit your iPhone with a case on (I'm sure this depend on which case, but I had no trouble with my Speck Pixelskin HD on my iPhone 4S).
5.) Sound quality is pretty good. While a tad lacking in the bass department, for such a small unit I'm very impressed.
6.) Included remote...

Awesome sound! Decent design, sketchy setup and video issues.
My girlfriend got me the JBL OnStage dock for my iPhone for Christmas last year and I was amazed at the sound for such a small dock/speaker system. So when I got my iPad I knew JBL was the first place I would look for a speaker dock for it.
Appearance - The physical appearance is, well, a bit funky but not bad. It looks a bit feminine with the curves and the crossover trim in the front. Reminds me of looking at the shoulders of a lady wearing a shawl that is crossed in front. Not bad by any means, but I would prefer something a bit more angular and "manly". The glossy silver trim is nice but does attract finger prints. The materials are solid, fit and construction quality is good. Doesn't feel cheap - the speaker grilles are metal. Looks like a quality product.
Setup - The cords / cables / brackets are all pretty straight-forward. There is one really long power cable (2 pieces, like a laptop cable) and two brackets (one for iPhone/iPod, one for iPad). Some people...
A Good Product with Design Issues
Through Vine, I've been able to review a few portable speaker systems, most of them with WiFi/Airplay capability. The On Beat Air does a number of things well, but falls short in a bunch of categories that may be important to you. Here are the major points:
-The sound is good for a tiny speaker system. Don't complain about how it doesn't really have enough volume or bass because... that's just not going to happen for something of this size. Don't be fooled either by the photos showing people enjoying the On Beat Air in a party-like setting. You could use the speaker for background music at a modest party, but it is best to think of the output as akin to a small to medium size boom box.
-WiFi setup was easy and largely the same as setting up competing Airplay speakers. WiFi reception has been consistently very good. I've had no trouble moving the unit around and outside the house, and it has maintained a connection even through masonry walls.
-I like...
