JBL On Time Micro

For $250, the JBL On Time Micro feels a bit light on extra features, but it nails the basics for an iPod-based alarm clock.

Remote control offers full iPod navigation. AM/FM radio with 10 presets. Alarms and clock are easy to set and you can schedule as many as seven independent alarms.

A bit pricey considering its limited features. Can't handle deep bass. Minimum volume level isn't as low as it should be—not great for office use.

JBL On Time Micro review: JBL On Time Micro

JBL On Time Micro

The JBL On Time Micro features a sleek and stylish design with a compact footprint, AM/FM radio, plentiful alarm options, and an integrated iPod dock. It includes an auxiliary line input and a remote control.

The JBL On Time Micro is overpriced and sounds hollow when played at top volume. The remote is unnecessarily complicated.

The JBL On Time Micro offers pretty much everything you'd want from a bedside iPod speaker dock, such as an AM/FM radio, multiple alarms, good audio, and a remote control. We just wish it did all that for about a third of the price.

JBL On Time Micro, iPod Dock

Would you pay so much for something so complicated?

Even though this dock carries the JBL brand name, it’s a little too expensive, as it costs Rs 9,990. It has an alarm with handy features, AM/FM radio with presets and decent sound quality overall, but on the whole, is quite complicated to use. Besides,...

Great Product

I have been searching a long time for an affordable iPod player and alarm clock. This JBL product certainly fit the bill. Not only does it sound great but it comes with a remote which I have learned to operate in the dark! If the sound from a track...

Time to wake up

Well made unit, wife and I love the multiple alarms, no need to reset the alarm for the weekends, with 7 different alarm times, you can program the entire week. Sound is good, missing a little 'oomph' but good the size of the unit.
