When it comes to audio devices, you know for sure (your ears probably
won’t be able to fool you) when you see the logo “JBL” emblazoned
across, that quality will be there. I guess that is the case for most,
as I am quite sure that there will be a group of you out there who will
disagree. Well, one of JBL’s latest releases would be the JBL OnBeat Air
– a device that is said to deliver incredible sound over the wireless
technology from Apple known as Airplay, letting you stream your favorite
tunes via your laptop, iPhone or iPad.
Needless to say, being wireless does not mean it will work throughout
your home, unless you live in a small one-bedroom studio. There will
definitely be blind spots around, but generally speaking, a room by
itself would do just fine, and that is where most folks would confine
the use of the OnBeat Air to anyways. As for audio quality, you can be
sure that this versatile music player will feature digital sound
processing equalization, sporting dual Phoenix full-range transducers
that roll out a room-filling soundscape.
Retailing for $249.95 a pop, the JBL OnBeat Air will also come with
an adaptable docking station that is able to fit an iPad, iPhone or iPod
in either portrait or landscape mode. If you prefer not to drain more
battery from your device via a wireless connection, there is always the
option to take the 30-pin dock connector route. As for those who do not
rock to iOS-powered devices, you can always hook it up to the OnBeat Air
via Wi-Fi or the built-in auxiliary input jack. Yes sir, this means
Android smartphone owners need not worry and can still get one of these
for themselves.
Aprat from that, the OnBeat Air will also come with an IR remote
control which allows you to quickly navigate iTunes songs, playlists and
videos. Alternatively, this can be a great videoconference tool if you
use Apple’s FaceTime or take advantage of Skype. Are you looking for a
speaker dock for your smartphone? The JBL OnBeat Air seems to be a
decent enough addition to any room.
