JBL OnBeat Xtreme review

JBL's OnBeat Xtreme is pretty easy to sum up: this is a really good-sounding iPhone/iPad speaker dock that also boasts an impressive feature set, which includes Bluetooth wireless streaming and speakerphone capabilities. The truth is there isn't too...

The JBL OnBeat Xtreme offers excellent performance for an iPhone/iPad speaker dock, with detailed sound and good, tight bass that can fill a fairly large room. It also has built-in Bluetooth for wireless streaming, speakerphone capabilities, a video...

At $500, it costs as much as an iPad. The eye-catching design may not appeal to some people.

While it's on the expensive side, JBL's OnBeat Xtreme is one of the best-sounding iPhone/iPad docks we've heard--and it has built-in Bluetooth and speakerphone capabilities.

JBL OnBeat Xtreme review

Awards 2012 Product of the Year - Speaker Docks. A fun-looking, fun-sounding dock that's worth every penny

Sounds great ; lovely design and build ; feature packed ; wireless works well

Midrange can become hard at high volumes ; flimsy device clamps
