Unreal Sound + Sweet Design = JBL On Stage 400p

Around 6 months ago I hooked up the JBL On Stage 400p ($250-ish) music dock in my kitchen… named the “On Stage” due to the fact it looks like your music player is on a stage.  Because of my home’s floor-plan the kitchen, living room & dining room are all one big open area.  I spent quite a long time looking for the perfect dock to play my music loud enough to fill the entire area all at once… but with clarity and compatibility for our iPhone/iPod collection.  Obviously, I’m a die-hard researcher when it comes to my purchasing decisions, and after a month-or-so of really checking it out (which included pissing off people at Best Buy with migraine inducing sound… yes, i was “that guy”) I settled down with the 400p.  Not to toot my own horn too loudly (as if this blog isn’t loud enough)… but I made one hell of a great decision!!!

This system (even though it’s compact and all-inclusive, I still feel it necessary to call it a “system” considering it’s output) has held its own against many of the units I’ve received as “testers” since, and I have never once thought maybe I can trade up… because I have, in my opinion, one of the best.  I bang this thing out time and again for parties, and gatherings, without fail (and with great compliment); often smooth over the room on nights when the Misses and I are in the mood; set the tone many evenings while eating dinner with the family; and even crank up the noise while bashing skulls with a little COD4: 2 (a great adrenaline booster!).  All-in-all, this little speaker NEVER disappoints!  Along with the intense sound it seduces me with, the On Stage has a very subtle design to it that keeps it modest and helps it blend in with the surroundings.  Not to forget the bitchen little remote that comes with it… a great accessory for the large room.

On a scale of 1 to 10, I’d rate this awesome.

Final word: quit being stupid and buy it bitches

Here are some technical specs, for that little geek in you:
