It also has a small headphone jack so you can plug in any other kind of MP3 player (with an audio outlet), or even your laptop to provide a huge range of options and allow you to source your music from pretty much anywhere — radio included.

The speakers are of the highest quality, and although they are only 6 watts, thanks to the phoenix neodymium drivers, they offer significant sound, and are well balanced across tones to give a rich sound at most levels.

The actual functions of the 10” tall base station of the JBL On Time extend beyond just providing loud speakers but also an integrated LCD screen with a very user friendly menu system allowing you to set the clock, find radio stations, and even navigate through tracks on the iPod, although you may still find it easier to use the job wheel instead if you are more used to it.

Owing to the fact that the Claro is crystal clear, your iPod’s will continue to show its natural color (great if you have personalized your iPod); and if you are in the mood for colorful iPod, you can add on Claro Slims (sold separately) that comes in 2 packs – the Cruiser Pack (Blaze Red, Prince Purple and Blush Pink) and the Chill Pack (Ebony Black, Sonic Blue and Ghost White glow in the dark).

Though it facilitates visual portability, it lacks high-quality resolution; displayingg only 320 x 240 pixels and 24 bit color depth. Futhermore, it’s not exactly an affordable Christmas or birthday present, the MYVU is priced at $299 for the universal edition and $399 for the iPod model.
