    Default JBL Speaker Dock

    I highly recommend the JBL OnStage series of dock/speakers. I've tried several docks/clock radios, and these are by far the best sounding ones that I've found.

    Actually, that is pretty good. BUT... if you have the dosh, the Bowers and Wilkins is probably the best sound for the money. Both Zeppelins have loads of power, but they also cost 400-600$.

    Jubei, what do you think about the Mindo WM-2? They sound great, but are built horribly (honest opinion).

    The Mingo's are great - in terms of sound not a lot to complain about especially at the price. BUT lots of microphonics and the fit wasn't good for me. Tried a lot of tips and eventually it caused me ear infection - I think the constantly twiddling caused the outer ear canal to get swollen. So now I have resorted to closed cans.

    The build quality is shoddy as you pointed out in your review - the plastic bits come off quite easily!

    When I reviewed them, they were around 80$, but even at 50$, more should be expected - it's not like they are packing a mic. Evidently, Mingo now make a cheap custom earphone too!
