Portable audio docks have been around and docks designed specially for Apple’s iPod, iPhone and iPads have been in plenty. JBL has a ton of these docks and we’ve reviewed quite a few of them. Apart from a few features here and there, they are almost identical. There are a few things that make the On Air Wireless a little different.
Features The most prominent and important feature of the JBL On Air Wireless is its ability to use Apple’s AirPlay technology. The technology works over any Wi-Fi router and it lets users stream music from iPods, iPhones, iPads and also Macs to the speaker. We setup the On Air Wireless with a Buffalo router without any issues. The installation was straightforward and it took place without any glitches. ![]() Stylish and available in two colours
The menu on the dock is simple to understand. The Settings menu allows you to select the router you wish to connect to. Once that’s done, the same needs to be done on the device you’re playing the music from. Selecting the output device on the Apple device is the last step of the process. ![]() Very little difference from other JBL docks for Apple devices
The display on the dock is used for navigating through the menus of the dock, but also to display album art, once you start streaming music from the docked player or even wirelessly.
The JBL On Air Wireless is rated with a frequency response range between 20 and 20kHz. The dock has a pair of 7W channel speakers. The Wi-Fi module on the dock supports 802.11g, which means theoretically, it has a bandwidth of 54Mbps. Even with obstructions, it should be able to stream music fine. ![]() USB port, meant for the firmware upgrades
There’s FM radio support as well. An external port for connecting the bundled antenna is present at the rear of the dock. The dock also doubles as an alarm that you can place right next to your bed. There’s a large snooze button at the top of the device, so you don’t have to scamper around to find it. |

How We Test
The Tech2 Labs receives many products every single week and each of them is tested with the utmost care and highest level of objectivity. There’s a constant effort to reduce and totally eliminate subjectivity. Each product is tested according to set test processes so the same test scenario is used.

Verdict
The ratings awarded to a product are derived from a number of tests and calculations, keeping certain important factors in mind. These factors consist of features, performance, quality and value for money. In case of software and some other categories, build quality might be replaced with ease of use or ease of installation. Products are compared with other products in a similar price range or product category.
The features component of the score is rated based on the kind of features present on a particular product. Features are a big part of what people look for when they’re buying a new product such as a phone or a camera.
Performance
The performance score is derived from the benchmarks and tests run on the product. In case of the subjective scores, an average of the scores given by the group of reviewers is considered.
Build Quality
The build quality of a product is important so that it doesn’t fall apart after some use. The build quality scores from the way the product is designed and the kind of materials used in the product.
Value
Value for money comes from the fact that a cheap product is able to provide most of the performance of a higher priced product. Once again, value for money is judged by comparing pricing and performance of products in a particular price range or category.
There are many other aspects of the product that are looked at such as the bundled software and accessories. All of these scores are aggregated together to form the final score.
What do the ratings mean?
Ratings are simple - higher the score, the better the product. A brief listing of the features and what they mean are given below.
