JBL - OnStage vs. Harmon Kardon - iHome

My plan was to give a comparison between these two iPod Docking players.  The iHome is also a clock radio with a tuner and a remote control.  The JBL is small and easy to take with you on vacations, to work, etc.  I bought both at Costco to take home and try side-by-side. 

There really is no comparison.  The JBL sound a thousand times better.  It actually sounds so good its surprising.  The Harmon Kardon sounds decent for a clock radio but, for $100, it ought to sound a little better.

 The JBL is tiny compared to the iHome.  It makes it apparent that the JBL is intended to give you the ability to use your iPod on the go where ever you are.  However, the iHome is for your nightstand table.  If that's where you intend it, its great.  If you want something more generally useful, my advice is really, really simple.  Get the JBL!
