The JBL On Stage 200iD iPod speaker, has rich sound quality and an eye catchy design. JBL had brought out an earlier version of this which did not click among its customers. But this time, they emerge as winners with On stage 200i.

It looks no different from its older version, but the quality has been improved and is now available at a satisfactory price. The current market price is $150 which might come down in another 3 months time.
