The editors liked
Cool design. Streams audio from iPods
IPhones
And iPads wirelessly via Apple AirPlay. Useful remote. Alarm clock capabilities.
The JBL On Air Wireless is a $350 Internet-connected FM radio alarm clock that features Apple AirPlay functionality. Its odd round speaker sounds great and can handle a wide variety of music
The editors didn't like
Overpriced. Audio distorts even at moderate volumes. User interface can be pesky to navigate
Feels out of date.
At $350
The JBL On Air Wireless is too expensive. We also wish it were a bit more mobile and practical for outdoor situations. The remote control is flimsy but functional
And the menu has a tendency to lag from time to time

While we think it's overpriced, the JBL On Air Wireless speaker dock is a great-sounding device with the luxury of Apple AirPlay built right in.
Having tested two different AirPlay speakers at this point, there’s little doubt in our minds that speaker companies have been rushing somewhat to get into the marketplace, and tripping themselves up in the process—between its audio hiccups, album art...
Abstract: We have long been fans of JBL's multimedia division and its shiny docks in particular; the JBL Radial, a clear precursor to this On Air Wireless, won our first ever Sound+Image award for an iPod speaker dock. Times have moved on since then. We have iPh...

Abstract: Despite its high price, we were already impressed with the esports-focused Corsair K65 Mini when it dropped last year due to the 60% keyboard's mix of high performance in a compact package. The Corsair K70 Pro Mini Wireless may cost even more but provides...
Abstract: Product round-up Apple’s AirPlay wireless streaming protocol can be used to play music from an iPod touch, iPhone, iPad, or from iTunes on a Mac or PC, directly to a compatible speaker. AirPlay uses Wi-Fi rather than Bluetooth and so audio is not compr...
It has Airplay, Has its own display, Good sound at low volumes
Sound quality doesn't match price, Design lacks class
If the JBL On Air dock was £80-100 less, it'd make a lot of sense. It sounds good at low volumes and packs-in plenty of features, including Airplay, an FM radio and full alarm clock functionality. However, at £329 it directly challenges some of the best i...
Large control screen, unique looks, AirPlay compatible, good sound, easy set-up, good-looking
Unsuitable for use within larger entertainment system; lack of digital radio tuner; expensive, must have wireless network
Don't expect to use this as part of a larger entertainment system as the only audio output is the headphone port. On Air does also work as a standard iPod/iPhone speaker system, and also features alarm clock and radio functions. We'd recommend this as a g...
The price of the JBL On Air Wireless is Rs. 17,500 in India. This isn’t exactly affordable. For its compact size, it’s got a lot of power, but it’s not necessarily great sounding. A design that stands out The ability to stream using AirPlay is re...
