If you hadn't have mentioned those JBL On-tour speakers, I would have

Kewl ;-)


They sound perfect for the needs that you outline. You're unlikely to
find a better sounding or more portable speaker that's a small as that.


Sold ;-)

Unfortunately, a really tiny size does limit the audio quality. There
won't be much bass response, but I've heard these speakers and they
sound much better than their size suggests they should sound like.


Well .. I think that's something you just have to come to terms with
isn't it. 'Natural' bass needs bigger cabinets and drivers (for us to
hear in balance anyway) and as you say these things are small.

The fact that JBL are a famous loudspeaker manufacturer and that they're
prepared to put their name to this product is obviously a good thing.


Good point ;-)

As you know, you can get cheaper speakers, but these ones are worth
their price.


Well thanks for that Roly .. I have seen a few up on eBay of late but
they seem to go for the same price as Amazon ..?

All the best ..
