I bough this unit after listening to it and a few of its competitors on a dsiplay I found at Target. The display had a selector button you could press to hear the various manufacturer's units. I was surprised honestly to find such a nice display at a Taget store. That really helped me make my mind on which speaker to buy. They also had the Bose unit there. Frankly the JBL and the Bose sounded the best - but the JBL is 1/3 the price.
I bought this particular unit and set it up in less than 3 minutes. The whole family was surprised how good the sound was. It has really remarkable base for such a small unit. I just bought a brand new 64GB iTouch and I can report that it works flawlessly with this unit. The remote also works fine. I had been concerned as to whether the iTouch would fit snuggly on the base - it does. JBL includes in the box little rubber spacers that attach to the plastic semi-cirlce on top of this unit - including a slightly thicker one for use with the iTouch.
Well, it works perfectly, the iTouch fits very snugly in there. To change songs or playlists, you can either use the remote or the iTouch - either works fine.
I'm not sure about the other reviewers claims of distortion at high volume. I can tell you that the volume on this unit is as high as I would want it to go for a 20' x 25'room under normal listening conditions.
If you want to have a dance party with 20 people this is not a unit for that... get some big speakers if that is what you want to do...but it would be silly to expect that from a small unit like this.
