content: The JBL On Tour speakers are just awesome. They look classy, the sound if off the charts. If you close your eyes and listen at full volume you would feel you are listening from floor standing big speakers. The clarity is awesome, no distortion at all. I use rechargeable AAA batteries, and they last days between charge. You can hook up anything to it, ranging from ipod, or any small music player, or laptop and you have a top notch compact music system on the go.The only drawback is, you don't get stereo, as both the speakers are too close to each other. But you kinda assume that when you are buying a single set of compact speakers.
