@cengland0 Maybe you should read last fridays description. "Today marks one such milestone. Sometime today, we will sell the final JBL OnBeat Micro speaker dock. Seriously. We had tens of thousands of these things. And now they're all gone. Fuck yeah!"
@jaremelz Former bus owner and pine for an old one. So yeah, it would have to be one of the new ones. Your beetle's an old one right ? Or is it a new fake beetle beetle. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
BTW, aren't there quite a few TDI-in-your-username folks here?
What do you think about the lie? Wonder whether turning the emissions back on will impact both driveability and fuel economy? (otherwise why turn it off in the first place?)
@RedOak Not a TDI, sorry! I needed a smaller car, and this was being sold by the driving school. The guy had a folder with every receipt for all the work ever done, so I could see this car's complete history. She had ridiculously low miles, as well. I love her.
@ceagee 2006. But I owned a 1978 pop top camper van for while. I miss that van more than words can describe. I have made it clear to my husband that we will find a way to get another. They're just so damn expensive now. I've told the story before, but my ex and I drove Bessie the bus from Seattle to southern Mexico for almost a year. Best vehicle ever.
@RedOak Is the auditory enjoyment possession of this dock will bring you between now and sell out day not worth potentially $2?
I just paid a guy $4 to bring me a hot dog and waffle fries tonight, and my enjoyment of them has since ceased. Meanwhile, owning this speaker dock immediately can bring lovely melodies to your ear holes over and over again, and you won't have to poop those melodies out tomorrow morning, either. Come to think of it, I guess I should have bought two speaker docks instead.
@djslack Like I said. I'm cheap. Scot blood. Parents grew up in the first depression. Speaking of poop, that two bucks will buy me two individually wrapped frozen spicy chicken sandwiches from the local Meijers. Bam. Two meals. A buck each.
@djslack As was ours, from @JonT. Feeling the pull to actually buy one. (Just turned VMP off last night before the AM-autorenew. Will have to wait for the "sell-out".)
@sammydog01 We have both the Micro and Mini. We use the Micro as a dresser charge stand + close-by streaming source. It is fine for that.
The Mini is more capable of filling a (not large) room with sound. Still not full-size speaker sound. Slightly richer bass than Micro. I don't know that I'd say it can go "louder", but that fuller sound might seem louder. Just as clean sound since it seems to have the same drivers. I'd guess, unlike the Micro, it might have a bass reflex port (a hole that channels lower frequencies out of the box.).
If you appreciate speaker sound quality (and can discern the difference between various same-priced speakers) then the price step for the Mini is a no-brainer. If you like the Micro, you'll love the Mini.
Bonus: (other than the Lithium Ion battery) even if you don't use it with an iPad, that longer landing pad holds smaller non-Lightning devices on their side very nicely.
@thismyusername I'm not so happy with $25 purchase price. I'd much prefer the $30 micro w/mini that they did a long time ago...or maybe a 2 for $35-40. I think that these are great docks. But 2 issues. They don't come in white (my phone is the silver one) and they tend to be more expensive. By more. Usually $5-10 more than I want to pay for yet another speaker dock!
How about this @JonT I'll buy 5 for $110? Actually that would be a crazy sale. Put them up for $50 but each one you buy reduces each of them by $5 max purchase is 7 for $140. So 1 = $50 each $50 total 2 =$45 each $90 total 3= $40 each $120 total 4= $35 each $140 total 5= $30 each $150 total 6= $25 each $150 total 7= $20 each $140 total
@sammydog01 Well... If they would sell me a pallet of like 100 for something ridiculous like $5... (not each... just $5) I'd make a legitimate Throne of Speaker docks... It may be worth it to them just to see the throne!
@sammydog01 Can't speak for the gen 1 Touch, but ours plays Pandora flawlessly. Of course the battery is a bit long (short?) in the tooth. Sometimes have to hook up a USB battery - both sit nicely in the iPad-sized trough of the mini.
@sammydog01 sweet! Klipsch speakers typically have nice clean sound. Not so sure this Mini will beat it. However, I'll bet the original transaction price (when it was new) of that Klipsch was a lot more than $25.
Does this charge an iPhone 6/6s? Oddly, if it does, it's not mentioned in the specs. It seems like it should. I want to get it as a gift for someone who has a 6.
@sohmageek. There is no way you can not be blamed for this, not only are you the goat, but you actually asked for this to occur. But then again I guess all is now right with the world. It's Friday and we have speaker docks.
$25 is not an impulse price for speaker docks. No matter what those 339 (divided by whatever makes all the mathige work out for multiple buys) other folks say.
@rufwork I'm probably not going to buy... I'd love to buy... but I'm probably not going to buy. I don't Think I can justify, with weekend filled with Beer bus and Magic... It's going to be a busy and expensive weekend.
@KDemo Worse, they blatantly toyed with the emotions of the truly greatest assemblage of what makes America great, and undermined their faith in capitalism. We should go all Shamwow on their asses.
Just like your cheating ex that you reluctantly take back, you know deep down that she will do it again. This is why I love/hate you meh. I fear I might have a case of stockholm syndrome.
takin' one for the team so our long - meh-tional nightmare may end.fair-uncanny-snail. if you must support one faceless internet corporation let it be meh.
Oh crap, I seem to have missed the minis. Actually, I would have loved to buy one for $25 as long as it shipped along with the 3 free micros I won on Periscope last week. Please get in touch if there's still a way to make that happen (?)

@gabespana12 Meh.
Yes, a cheap stunt. Not finished with speaker docks afterall.
@cengland0 Maybe you should read last fridays description. "Today marks one such milestone. Sometime today, we will sell the final JBL OnBeat Micro speaker dock. Seriously. We had tens of thousands of these things. And now they're all gone. Fuck yeah!"
Called it!
@KDemo lolololololololol
@KDemo You weren't the only one!
@smigit2002 - lol
@KDemo Take this star; you've truly earned it!
@sohmageek, how happy are you now?
@KDemo Same Here. I knew it was a crock!
@Stallion A dock crock?
@KDemo All day long, lol
@KDemo only if I can get a white one to match my phone... Who am I kidding? I love these things!
@KDemo on a scale of 1-10 this ranks right below orgasmic! Just ya know without the sexual arousal.
@KDemo evidentially you can't read. This is the "mini" dock, not the "micro" they sold all of last Friday.
@sohmageek Having speaker dick?
@sohmageek - Hehe you should pull a "@BillLehecka" and take a bath in speaker docks.
@jzmacdaddy - Um. "Evidentially" who can't read?
You, sir, are a VVMP.
You guys had better be working up to something pretty amazing.
@stoopkid yeah speaker Dock Saturday followed by .. You guessed it, Speaker dock month ! BTW,
The lightning connection STRIKES
me as (not) funny!
SDF
@kenlovesmoney TGISDF
I just threw up a little
@jmhsrv in my mouth
@robson in your mouth.
@jmhsrv Hey hey! Let's just all agree that there is throw up in someone's mouth
Not cool. Very funny...not cool.
@MrMark actually u are right ..if speaker dock plugged in it won't be cool at but Probably hot.!!!!. Like a lot of "Meh"ers!
Wait, what? SDF? WTF?
SDF...FTW
@densa TGISDF AMIRITE?
You'll burn for this.
Knew it was too good to be true.
Hah!
goddamit, i have a windows phone why cant they have a universal dock, or not one thats jbl for that matter... MEH
I can't even.
@metageist Literally?
I totally called it last week...
If you were considering one of these, this is the one to get. It sounds very good, and it's a decent price...
@matapat http://www.nooooooooooooooo.com/
(Be careful with the number of O's in the NOOOO... the sites with more or less than 15 of them can push malware to your computer.)
You've lied to me for the last time... until the next time.
I'm kind of a glutton for punishment.
SDF is back!
@narfcake ROCK OUT WITH YOUR DOCK OUT
@narfcake SDF apparently never left.
@nadroj This is the absolute best phrase ever uttered. (At least for the moment).
@nadroj I'm a bit partial to the simpler :
Rock your Dock !
or what about
Dock your Rock !
By the same token yours could be :
Dock out with your Rock Out.
I think I should go to sleep now.
@narfcake
@narfcake
go f yourselves
(SDF)x10^23
@saodell Yep, it appears they originally bought a mole of speaker docks. That's what they get for going to events catered by Glen.
So good.
@brhfl When I see people losing it over this.....
dammit @sohmageek!
@carl669 you're welcome. I DID ask for this!
Oh, eat a bag of something something
:|
@RedOx
not you- them
@alacrity those are some weird looking lighthouses!
@alacrity GEORGIA RED!
@RedOx Who knew there were Gummy Speaker Docks, in purple no less. Meh needs to sell these. On Friday.
@heartny nooooo I can't bear it.. Others speak up!!
@JonT
@Kerig3 JENGA!!!
Oh how last Friday was such a happy day and now this week is it is filled with lies!!!
@natedogg oh what a wicked web we weave when speaker docks are here to purchase .. We were deceived!!!
Damn! I had just assumed the Minis were more popular and had sold out a long time ago.
@lljk well you're not too late after all!
@robson Ha ha, that's funny. Everyone knows speaker docks aren't actually meant to be bought and used for their intended purpose.
@lljk FOOL
Oh well. Kind of makes last week's festivities not all that special. Kind of saw this coming.
RAT BASTARDS... I knew it was a lie
Big cheaters. Yay!
There's a Tom Brady @mfladd joke there somewhere, but I'm too lazy to find it.
@joelmw VW'ers?
I'm really trying to come up with a short meme-like phrase that embodies the cheating of VW and the whole concept of German engineering...
Something like "Cheating... the new German Engineering!" but that is kinda lame.
@baqui63
@baqui63 You have to admit, though, that the VW shit is a rather clever cheat, perhaps one desrving of the German Engineering name…
@baqui63 This might fit the bill:
@joelmw I call upon those of our ranks with photoshop skills to make us a Tom Brady carrying a speaker dock meme.
@jaremelz Will he also be driving a VW ?
@ceagee Please no! I actually drive a Beetle. And I adore it, even if they are rat bastards.
@ceagee @jaremelz It'd have to be a TDI - is yours a TDI?
@jaremelz Former bus owner and pine for an old one. So yeah, it would have to be one of the new ones. Your beetle's an old one right ? Or is it a new fake beetle beetle. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
BTW, aren't there quite a few TDI-in-your-username folks here?
What do you think about the lie? Wonder whether turning the emissions back on will impact both driveability and fuel economy? (otherwise why turn it off in the first place?)
@jaremelz GTI'er here. Can't seem to kill it even after 11 years and 210,000 miles (not that I want to anyway). Beasts, they are!!
@RedOak Not a TDI, sorry! I needed a smaller car, and this was being sold by the driving school. The guy had a folder with every receipt for all the work ever done, so I could see this car's complete history. She had ridiculously low miles, as well. I love her.
@ceagee 2006. But I owned a 1978 pop top camper van for while. I miss that van more than words can describe. I have made it clear to my husband that we will find a way to get another. They're just so damn expensive now. I've told the story before, but my ex and I drove Bessie the bus from Seattle to southern Mexico for almost a year. Best vehicle ever.
@brhfl My first thought about the whole thing was exactly this: clever hack. I still feel this way.
Any outrage or bad feelings I have towards VW about this stem from the potential damage to the environment.
(Sorry for the late reply... something made Gmail hide the notifications from meh in a folder again.)
for future reference.
@alacrity "new"
@nadroj i really hope it's not available used from other sellers...
@alacrity "Lube pump included" isn't it supposed to lube THE pump?
@jbrookebarrow TBH, I've never read the instruction manual.
@alacrity I can only hope that manual is dock full of descriptive images.
@jbrookebarrow
Oh no dock this item SPEAKS volumes for itself
bath time meh!

I was encouraged to laugh, with vocal involvement, quite literally out loud upon loading meh.com tonight.
Seems the token "lol" just doesn't pack much of a punch anymore.
@cyberafi DISQUALIFIED!
you lied to us
How are you going to get rid of the last if these in two years when Apple gets rid of the lightning connector?
Well, it has never been less expensive by itself, the Mini, @ $25. So there's that.
We need another one. But don't want to get that sinking feeling when on the sell out day, it goes for $23. Yes, I'm cheap.
@RedOak Is the auditory enjoyment possession of this dock will bring you between now and sell out day not worth potentially $2?
I just paid a guy $4 to bring me a hot dog and waffle fries tonight, and my enjoyment of them has since ceased. Meanwhile, owning this speaker dock immediately can bring lovely melodies to your ear holes over and over again, and you won't have to poop those melodies out tomorrow morning, either.

@djslack Like I said. I'm cheap. Scot blood. Parents grew up in the first depression. Speaking of poop, that two bucks will buy me two individually wrapped frozen spicy chicken sandwiches from the local Meijers. Bam. Two meals. A buck each.
@djslack These are the sweetest sounding 25 buck self-amplified speakers you'll ever own.
@RedOak I concur. I own one already. It was free, so it sounds even sweeter.
@RedOak Are they that much better sounding than the micros? And mostly, louder? The micros are a bit too quiet with some of my devices.
@djslack As was ours, from @JonT. Feeling the pull to actually buy one. (Just turned VMP off last night before the AM-autorenew. Will have to wait for the "sell-out".)
@sammydog01 We have both the Micro and Mini. We use the Micro as a dresser charge stand + close-by streaming source. It is fine for that.

@RedOak I bought two for $44 last time and split it with someone... I would still buy another at this price if I needed it. They sound quite good.
@mehdaf Yah, that was a nice deal, for two.
@RedOak Fluttering-ferocious-mitten. I have three micros in the mail- something is wrong with me.
At least today is not my birthday.
@gertiestn mine was yesterday :-)
@connorbush Happy birthday!
@gertiestn I'm glad this was not for sale then. Thanks.
Dammit, now I want one.
@sammydog01 LOL, me too!
@sammydog01 they are really quite good for $20.
@thismyusername I'm not so happy with $25 purchase price. I'd much prefer the $30 micro w/mini that they did a long time ago...or maybe a 2 for $35-40. I think that these are great docks.

1 = $50 each $50 total
2 =$45 each $90 total
3= $40 each $120 total
4= $35 each $140 total
5= $30 each $150 total
6= $25 each $150 total
7= $20 each $140 total
@sohmageek I hope you're planning on reselling them and not just making a shrine.
@sammydog01 Christmas presents. Sure it gets a bit old when they get the same thing as last year. But most of them got the micro. Just think! :)
@sammydog01 Well... If they would sell me a pallet of like 100 for something ridiculous like $5... (not each... just $5) I'd make a legitimate Throne of Speaker docks... It may be worth it to them just to see the throne!
I can't wait to see how three meh staffers celebrate when the mini speaker docks are gone. That'll be of the chain.
@agermane they will be working in an open field when that happens.
I've never been so happy to not buy a product. However I am happy, none the less.
Yay! I was afraid I had missed out on the mini.

@Lotsofgoats Technically, both are correct. 'Seek' is more common in English while 'sick' is more common in Punjabi.
@cinoclav screw the empire tho
@Lotsofgoats There's plenty of love for both sides!
DECAYED SPARK OF IRK (speaker dock friday anagramatized)
And it was when I least expected it and when I was starting to feel safe forget about the inevitability of speaker dock Fridays.
But deep down inside I knew it was coming. In for 0 because I have a Nexus 5. =D
@SegamanXero. It works with a Nexus 5!
@djslack Yep. We use an old 2nd gen iPod Touch with a Mini as a pretty nice portable streaming music machine. And with a laptop to play movies.
@RedOak I have an old touch too- i didn't know they still worked for anything but iTunes. I will have to try streaming.
@sammydog01 Can't speak for the gen 1 Touch, but ours plays Pandora flawlessly. Of course the battery is a bit long (short?) in the tooth. Sometimes have to hook up a USB battery - both sit nicely in the iPad-sized trough of the mini.
@RedOak Oh my gosh- it works! I have it in my Klipsch dock I got at Goodwill and it sounds amazing! I hope my new mini sounds as good.
Thanks!
@sammydog01 sweet! Klipsch speakers typically have nice clean sound. Not so sure this Mini will beat it. However, I'll bet the original transaction price (when it was new) of that Klipsch was a lot more than $25.
Hi again, as expected. Thank you!
And I have to say, I'm so relieved that South Korea's culture will not suffer due to lack of speaker docks for the foreseeable future. Great job, meh!
At least I know what day it is.
Rockin' with Dockin'
Does this charge an iPhone 6/6s? Oddly, if it does, it's not mentioned in the specs. It seems like it should. I want to get it as a gift for someone who has a 6.
@pjdemmitt works with my iPhone 6 Plus. So I'd say yes.
all these speaker docks is why i cancelled my vip
@jihiggs you should only be using it when you need it, this isn't costco!!!
@thismyusername what? i mean i cancelled because i stopped ever seeing things i wanted to buy.
@jihiggs you can start it again.
@jihiggs ahh ok, so many think it's a "mehmbership" I try to spread the truth when I see it happen. ;)
I am guessing they will eventually find some
crapproduct you want.I knew you would do this, you broke my heart!
I always wanted to own one of these. And this takes an audio jack, which sounds like I'd finally be able to play podcasts from my Sansa clip +
Docksuckers...
Speaker docks! Fuck yeah! Does it come in white? I love this dock. But it doesn't match my phone.
@sohmageek What about purple, cranberry or Georgia Red? I might buy one if it matched my tee-shirt.
@sligett Does your
T-shitT-Shirt match your Phone?@sohmageek. There is no way you can not be blamed for this, not only are you the goat, but you actually asked for this to occur. But then again I guess all is now right with the world. It's Friday and we have speaker docks.
@readnj thabk you for such praise. And you're welcome!
Doesn't come in Pantone 2955C, so no thanks.
$25 is not an impulse price for speaker docks. No matter what those 339 (divided by whatever makes all the mathige work out for multiple buys) other folks say.
@rufwork I'm probably not going to buy... I'd love to buy... but I'm probably not going to buy. I don't Think I can justify, with weekend filled with Beer bus and Magic... It's going to be a busy and expensive weekend.
YOU BASTARDS!
@cranky1950 - What? Did they kill Kenny?
@KDemo Worse, they blatantly toyed with the emotions of the truly greatest assemblage of what makes America great, and undermined their faith in capitalism. We should go all Shamwow on their asses.
Just like your cheating ex that you reluctantly take back, you know deep down that she will do it again. This is why I love/hate you meh. I fear I might have a case of stockholm syndrome.
It's like your long lost brother, who you had though had died, shows up at your front door step...
And asks you for money.
boooooooooooooo get off the stage
Dear god....
takin' one for the team so our long - meh-tional nightmare may end.fair-uncanny-snail. if you must support one faceless internet corporation let it be meh.
Hey- I also took one for the team. And also for my son, who's Mini's D-A converter quit working. More Pain - Send me another:
Finally worn down. I think I'll like this. productive-tiny-camp
@unwiredben you're making it worse
NO !
Best way to make the next one bigger, and more fun... Thermite... :) Well thermite and pagination... WAIT a minute... We're 1/2 there!
If you want to sell out make these $5
Oh crap, I seem to have missed the minis. Actually, I would have loved to buy one for $25 as long as it shipped along with the 3 free micros I won on Periscope last week. Please get in touch if there's still a way to make that happen (?)
@Silks the magic 8 balls says, "They will be bach."
So might "nutrend.com" be one of the buyers that Mediocre.com wholesaled a few pallets of JBL Minis to?
$39.99, shipped free.
http://www.neweggflash.com/Product/9SIA08C3BV8237
Just learned "nutrend.com" is a (hokey looking) subsidiary of NewEgg. Hmm.
