  • Great buy.
  • Alas, since I purchased the dock at Best Buy, the store only accepts returns for 30 days.

Reviews around devie (5.00 of 5)

  • 3G.After proving this issue to the German JBL support, all they said was "we understand you disappointment, but are unable to solve this issue".As a result, I can neither recommend the devie (because of this bug), nor the manufacturer (because of poor support).

Reviews around quality (3.44 of 5)

  • Not only its cheaper, its also much better sound quality and has AM/FM and two alarm clocks!!!
  • I realized the sound quality is horrible
  • Swapped for the On Stage 200ID, which was slightly more expensive, but MUCH better quality!
  • Sound quality was great but the static and noise was unbearable, even more so if you listen to music the whole day while working.
  • It's compatible with the iphone 3G and 3GS, charges both, and the sound quality is great for such a small, compact speaker system.

Reviews around unit (2.82 of 5)

  • Lack of iPhone compatibility aside, this unit is a well-built portable iPod speaker system.
  • Bottom line, this unit may be great for some iPod models, but not necessarily all docking models (as said in the description).
  • It's not a bad little unit, just think the Bose portable delivers a more rich sound than this unit.
  • The unit has always had issues with charging and playing from my iPod touch.

Reviews around noise (1.44 of 5)

  • One day past this date, the JBL On Stage III started making deep humming noises which would only stop if I turned it off and pulled my ipod out.
  • When I plugged the iPod into the docking station & turned it on, there was a buzzing static noise.
  • It makes a white noise and sound quality is not clear.
  • I give a one star because the infernal noise makes it worthless as an iPod dock, and an iPod dock is the only thing it does
  • Had seen some reviews complain of static and occasional 'whir' noise but gave benefit of doubt to JBL
  • Read remaining 6 reviews for noise

Reviews around model (1.00 of 5)

  • We just picked this up from Costco and the model number matches this model and not the IIIP.
  • I would not recommend this model
