Our take on the Onkyo iOnly Bass SBX-300

The first thing you notice about the Onkyo SBX-300 powered speaker system is how good it looks. Its simple lines and minimalist styling set off by a brushed aluminum carry handle present a smart, sophisticated appearance. The spacious dock can support an iPad, and hold it securely. And of course you can also dock an iPod or iPhone, too.

Solid sound

But the SBX-300 isn't designed just to look good. This system houses a pair of 4-1/8" full range speakers, each in their own chamber to prevent cross-interference. The system's 20-watt-per-channel amplifier delivers your music with clarity and fidelity.

Two rear-firing ports naturally reinforce the low frequencies to round out the sound. Not enough? Onkyo also included Active Bass control to ensure the lows remain balanced and clear, even at quieter volumes. And with Super Bass you can boost the low end to add a bit of extra thump.

  • compatible with docking iPods, iPhones, and iPads
  • two 4-1/8" full-range speakers with independent ported chambers

Features

Overview: The Onkyo iOnly Bass Dock Music System (SBX-300) is a self-powered speaker dock for your Apple iPod, iPhone, & iPad. The Onkyo iOnly Bass Dock Music System lets you listen to music stored on your compatible Apple device or streamed to your Apple device in your home or office with rich, natural sound. The Onkyo SBX-300 includes an IR remote control for music navigation of your docked iPod, iPhone, or iPad.  The Onkyo iOnly Bass operates off of AC power.

Digital Amplifier: The Onkyo iOnly Bass Dock Music System (SBX-300) is equipped with a 20W x 2Ch digital amplifier for efficient, clean sound.

Note: 20-watts (RMS) x 2-channel in 6-ohm, at 1kHz, with 1% THD

Full-Range Speakers Inside Bass-Reflex Enclosure: The Onkyo iOnly Bass Dock Music System (SBX-300) employs two 4.125" full-range drivers in a bass-reflex enclosure with separate chambers. Two bass-reflex ports are located on the rear of the unit for added bass response. Both drivers are magnetically shielded for safe placement next to TVs & computer monitors.

Note: System frequency response of 40 Hz to 20,000 kHz (+/-3 dB)

Powerful Bass: Super Bass is an active bass control circuit that further enhances low-frequency sound of the Onkyo iOnly Bass Dock Music System. There are two settings:

  • S. Bass 1: +4 dB, 80 Hz
  • S. Bass 2: +8 dB, 80 Hz

iPod/iPhone/iPad Dock: The Onkyo iOnly Bass SBX-300's iPod dock enables playback of music files stored on or streamed to your Apple iPod, iPhone, or iPad. The dock can be folded away & hidden when not in use to prevent dust build-up on the dock connectors. The included IR remote control provides music navigation of your iPod, iPhone, or iPad (your Apple device's touchscreen & clickwheel can also still be used). The SBX-300 does not feature a display, so you will continue to view Song/Artist information from your Apple device's LCD screen. The battery of your iPod, iPhone, or iPad is always charged while docked. The SBX-300 is compatible with the following iPods, iPhones, & iPads (as of November 2011):

When I kicked in the Super Bass, it really jumped up the low end. And for a lot of the rock and soul tracks I listened to, that was great. With Super Bass, Bootsy Collins (super bassist) moved from being prominent in the mix to front and center on his own stage! Super Bass isn't right for all types of music, of course, and the good news is that the SBX-300 doesn't need it to deliver great sound. I enjoyed some tasty Bill Frisell tracks without Super Bass, and the sound was natural and balanced. Plus I could hear the subtle interplay between the musicians.

Great product...but

Written By Keith, Baton Rouge, LA on Thursday, December 29, 2011
 
I really like the sound reproduction that this unit puts out. The remote works well and I have not worried about the safety of my IPad. The only negative I have is there is no ability to run the unit on battery, if that could be remedied this would be the best.
Pros:
Geat sound and very easy to use. Stable platform and I love the remote, unit will fill a room with rich deep sound.
Cons:
Units needs to have the ability to operate without being plugged into,the wall eg battery operation.
