What You Need To Know About JBL Audio Docks

An audio dock is a useful way to bring music from your portable device into any room or space. Whether it's to enjoy at a higher volume or to power a party, using an audio dock has a lot of benefits. JBL sells several audio docks with a range of applications.

Many models from JBL come equipped with wireless technology, generally Bluetooth. That way, you can link to a device without it having to be plugged into the dock. Remember that once your device is paired with the dock, it will remain paired until you break the connection, no matter what source of audio content you play back.

There are several color options for the models from JBL, including:

• Black
• Blue
• Grey
• Red
• Silver
• White

You should know that some models will not have every color.

There are many extra features on these sound platforms for you to enjoy. They include an alarm clock, Bluetooth network connectivity, integrated charger, and remote control. As with the colors, these features are not available on all models. Check the manufacturer's site for details. The alarm clock can be replicated on the smartphone or another device that you link, so it should not play a major role in your decision.

It depends on the model. Some are universal, meaning that just about anything can pair with them. Others are more specific and will only cater to certain generations of iPod. Know which devices you plan to use so that you are prepared to make an informed purchase decision. Especially with previous models of iPod, this is not necessarily easy to correct with an adapter, so set your plan in advance. When in doubt, a safe choice is a universal model that uses Bluetooth rather than a certain kind of wired connection.

Some models are portable because they are small enough to fit into a bag and are just a few inches in diameter. However, even larger models tend to be no more than about a foot across, so it is not difficult to transport them to a party or another event. Note that most docks are not waterproof, so take caution around pools, lakes, and other water sources.
