Pros: Sounds terrific for its size. Looks really good and seems 'female' friendly (and proof).
Cons: They put the jacks for it in bad places.
The Bottom Line: Great sound and not too pricey. Very portable for what it is and stylish for our times. 4.5 Stars!

| spaceaceomega's Full Review: JBL (ONTOUR) Computer Speakers |
I got this set for my wife's Toshiba SD-P2000 DVD player that was lack luster in the sound department. I bought it referbished on eBay for cheap and it came to me looking brand new in an unmarked cardboard box. I opened it up. I was surprised to find a quality connection cord instead of the usual throw away crap that is handed out like cheap candy on Holloween. The unit is sleek and stylish with a gentle curve and smooth sliding door. After putting in 4 AAA batteries I hooked it up to the Toshiba and watched "The World of Tomorrow". Some complain about the lack of control but for some of us, simpler is better. I put the Toshiba at 10 and punched up the JBL volumn to max. No static sound or woofer flex in this sleek white puppy. Explosions came off good for dual 1" woofers and surprisingly sparkily like tweeters are present. I would unplug the JBL and be astonished at the mud the toshiba was producing in comparison. JBL pulls it off again. For a manufacturer that I've only been using for over a year I'm fully impressed at thier ability to come out with great sounding anything that always seems to perform as they should at any price range. The little unit fits nicely with the Toshiba dvd player in Toshiba's carrying case and is perfect for on the go entertainment.
I was also considering getting the Virgin's VS2100 Boomtube EX. For those who are looking at it, the thing is huge! It is 13" long and 3.5" wide. Its way to big to be considered portable but does have 40 watts of power. If your not concerned with portability check this unit out instead.
