It costs as much as an iPad. The eye-catching design may not appeal to some people
Expensive. Visual design isn't for everyone. EQ settings are unnecessary
Abstract: JBL’s $600 OnBeat Xtreme is a Bluetooth-enabled, dock-cradle speaker system for the iPod, iPhone, and iPad. Now, one of the first things we like to do when we review a speaker system is describe how the thing looks. In this case, though, I’m going to j...
Abstract: Of course, the idea that Maroon 5 purportedly gives the OnBeat Xtreme a thumbs-up doesn't mean it's bad. And of course, JBL has made some of the greatest speakers in the history of the universe. And of course, you can't judge a product by its name. And as...

At $500, it costs as much as an iPad. The eye-catching design may not appeal to some people
While it's on the expensive side, JBL's OnBeat Xtreme is one of the best-sounding iPhone/iPad docks we've heard--and it has built-in Bluetooth and speakerphone capabilities.
Abstract: Sure, it's been a while since we've seen a company trot out the 1990's "xtreme!" moniker for a product, but JBL's OnBeat Xtreme ($500) certainly lives up to the name. As a considerably larger and more powerful version of the previously-released OnBeat...
