The On Tour XT is small and can fit in any bag easily. The speaker system resembles a teleconferencing box, with all the speakers placed on top of the circular base. The power switch, USB port, power port, and 3.5mm audio jack are located along the sides of the unit, with the volume control buttons situated on top.
The piano black finish gives the On Tour XT flair, although this kind of finish attracts fingerprints.
Users can connect any music device as JBL has included two audio cables (3.5mm to 3.5mm and 3.5mm to 2.5mm) in the box. The package also includes a power supply, remote control, and carrying case for safe transport.
Turning the unit over reveals a battery compartment for four AA batteries. This is used for powering the speaker system without the need for any power outlets. It could have been better though if JBL just included an internal rechargeable battery pack to save users money.
