Great entrylevel AirPlay device. Easy AirPlay syncs. 3.5mm Aux In plays nice with everything. Composite video out sends little videos to the big screen. Small footprint is perfect for the desktop. Remote does full iOS menu controls: song, album, artist, v
Goodbutnotgreat sound. Vertical movies on a docked iPad suck. Lack of a battery option puts a damper on portability

Abstract: Before we get started, there are a few longstanding AirPlay issues to consider in general. First of all, you'll always need to be near a Wi-Fi network, unlike Bluetooth, which only requires that the device and speaker to be relatively close to each other....

The JBL OnBeat Air features Apple AirPlay wireless streaming in a fairly compact iPhone/iPad audio dock that swivels, holding the device in portrait or landscape position. It offers decent-enough sound for its size and has a pass-through USB connection fo
The iPad can't be rotated to landscape mode when docked, and the speaker sounds a bit thin
The JBL OnBeat Air is a decent (though not great) compact speaker dock for iOS devices that's currently one of the more affordable AirPlay speakers on the market.

Streams audio via Apple's Wi-Fi-based AirPlay. Physical docking area for charging and playing iOS devices, including the iPad. Remote control has full menu navigation.
Distorts on deep bass tracks at high volumes. Not much power for the price
The JBL OnBeat Air, despite being slightly overpriced, is still one of the more affordable AirPlay docks that offers reasonable audio performance....

Good sound quality; built-in WiFi connectivity; built-in charger; portrait or landscape mode docking; OnBeat iOS app
No horizontal iPad viewing; pricier than previous non-AirPlay model
The OnBeat Air sounds fine played at lower volume levels, and would make a perfect companion for late night, chilled-out listening. Turn it up, though, and the dock is disappointing – the bass sounding muddy and distorted, and beats crunchy rather than cr...
Prachtig ontwerp, Zuiver geluid, Geschikt voor alle iOS apparaten, iPad niet kantelbaar
Na 80% volume klinkt hij dof, Videouit is kwalitatief teleurstellend
De JBL OnBeat Air is een speaker met een prachtige, moderne vorm. De bediening zit logisch in elkaar al vraagt de installatie even wat oplettendheid. Het geluid is goed genoeg voor een kleine huiskamer. Het enige echte nadeel is dat je de iPad officieel ...

Kompakt, Praktisk hållare, Förhållandevis billig
