JBL OnBeat Venue speaker with docking station black (Accessories)

Customer Review

I have not made my decision easy and despite the sometimes streaky Rating (Bluetooth connection, high minimum volume, no remote control) a few days ago the OnBeat Venue from JBL with old interface (
The following features were fulfilled for me particularly important and were only from this speaker:

+ Play via Bluetooth / Airplay
+ Dock for old Apple Ipad Connection included (is for a new Apple LT connector straight increasingly rare)
+ Good sound for less than 200 EUR

Enthusiasm but did not stand a directly because the connection constantly demolition indeed. Was in use the speakers with an iPad3. The distance between devices was approximately 3 meters, so theoretically everything's alright. 1 minute I heard music in about 20 seconds, 40 seconds rest. Absolutely unacceptable. But then solved the problem as if by magic after watching the JBL app launched, a software update via the dock and drove to a song on the app (instead of the Radio App) was happening. Since then, the speaker plays continuously. The sound quality is so sublime as often described doubt. I can confirm that only the sound surprised me even in spite of high expectations and I liked in your own 4 walls again better than the test hearing in the store (no wonder with all the sound sources there). Sure, a 350-EUR Go & Play JBL probably sounds a bit rich but is also twice as large and liked my girlfriend (optical) not at all.
As to the question whether the speakers can play softly: Well, the gradations of volume in the low range are actually somewhat coarse. It probably would not have noticed me if I had not been made aware of a previous reviewer. Perhaps a software update but the described problem solved / mitigated in the meantime.
By the way: A remote control (this also was faulted) Nobody needs because the control of volume and content indeed takes place on Apple devices. Merely switching would thus a bit more comfortable, but I would probably selbige embarrassed because I would indeed only be used once a day.

All in all, there are 5 star, although the satisfaction hired only after overcoming the initial problems.
