Product Description
Listen to FM radio on your iPod and control everything with this convenient wired remote. Just plug in your iPod Radio Remote and select Radio from the main iPod menu. Use your click Wheel and tune to your favorite stations just like a classic analog radio. Easily mark a favorite station for quick access later and switch between favorite stations using either the iPod or the remote. The iPod Radio Remote supports FM stations from 87.5 to 107.9 MHz in both the US and European standards and 76 to 90 MHz in the Japanese standard. You can switch between the different standards when traveling. With the wired remote, you can control slideshow, video and music playback. Adjust volume, skip forward & back within a playlist plus switch between radio stations and turn the radio on or off, even if your iPod is in your pocket or backpack.

At just over half an ounce in weight, 15.7 grams, the compact remote features a simple, familiar interface and plugs into the Dock connection on your iPod or iPod nano. The included pair of Apple Earphones has a cable that's a few inches shorter than a standard earphone cable, making it the perfect fit. You can plug it into the 3.5mm stereo minijack port on the remote or use another favorite set of earphones. Because the iPod Radio Remote is powered by the iPod itself, no extra batteries are required.

nice product if you can get it cheap.......2007-12-19
This is a really great product, it works great and is easy to use. Nice to listen to FM radio when you get sick of your own music. If it had AM radio as well as FM I would have given it 5 stars.
The price direct from Apple is outrageous, but you can usually get it Amazon at a much better price.
It's works in cubicle environment!!!.......2007-11-28
I was skeptical about this accessory working for me where I work because I am in the middle of a floor with a hundred other people, all in cubicles and other electronics, and not near a window. The reception was awesome! No static...no sound fading. It worked perfectly. If you work in a similar environment, don't hesitate in getting this attachment if you want to add a radio to your iPod.
This is nice.......2007-07-31
This is so nice. I can listen to my ipod or the radio on the same thing. I don't even have to buy batteries.
Great radio reception but drains battery.......2007-07-23
Radio works well, easy to use, reasonable price and has good reception. Also comes with a set of earbuds.
All you have to do is plug this baby in and you get a radio option on the main menu. When in radio mode you can set station presets easily and if the station you are listening to supports RDS you will see the song information displayed.
There are a couple minor complaints with it worth mentioning. First you cannot charge your ipod while listening to the radio as the radio plugs into the dock connector. Second, it really drains battery life. I haven't done any formal testing but my non-scientific observation would put battery drain at 2x or greater of normal music listening usage .
Good product, though a bit pricey.......2007-07-18
Radio functions are really handy to have, though I've discovered I use it more as a remote control for my iPod.
The volume control on the remote has proven to be very handy for when playing Mahjongg.
Radio features are minimal, but I can't think of what features would add more usefulness.
$50, though? It's a bit steep, but then again, so is the price of an 80G iPod. Certainly a toy marked to those who can afford the expensive toys.

Great tool.......2007-11-12
This is a great tool, I use it when I ride my motorcycle to up or down the volume or change the songs.
Muy bueno.......2007-10-13
Es un buen accesorio, no tiene problemas, mejor que oir radio en el movil, además incluye un juego nuevo de audífonos.
Good for only a year give or take..........2007-09-20
Well I loved this Fm radio adaptor for my nano but it's been almost a year and it started acting a bit funky till the next day it just stopped working completely. So if I were you, do not waste 45-50 dollars on this merchandise if it's not going to last. I love apple but the fact that they didn't want to give me another one makes me not want to buy there product. The reason they ask for more money for a 2 year guarantee is because their products will eventually stop working. THIS IS JUST A WARNING
:)
Excellent accessory.......2007-09-03
I have the radio remote attached to my iPod almost all the time--mostly for the convenience of being able to adjust volume and change tracks from the handy clip-on controller. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that this is actually my second one: After a year and half of heavy use, the first one just stopped working. But I'd grown so attached I had to get another!
worth it just for the remote control .......2007-08-11
I owned & used this item for 4 months before I even found out it added FM radio to my iPod !! no kidding ! I just kept using it as a remote control while walking or running, clipped to my t-shirt at belly-button level; perfect for controlling fwd/reverse and volume while running.
Allows me to place my iPod anywhere, out-of-sight, and not touch it until I'm done, due to the added length this device gives to the earbuds.
Very handy, works very well for my needs; good quality just like other Apple stuff.
As for the radio, I just tried it recently a few times and it seems to work fine; but I likely won't use it much, because I listen mostly to Podcasts and mp3s.

Buyer Beware! .......2007-09-14
In spite of the product description, this will not work as a wired remote for the ipod 3G. The radio works but you might feel a bit silly hauling around a $200+ ipod to serve as a battery for a radio. There has got to be a better way!Griffin iFM (Dock Connector) / FM Radio and Wired Remote Control for iPod
A really bad choice.......2007-07-27
Save your money. The construction is extremely cheap. My Griffin iFM fell apart in a couple of months! I couldn't put it back together because the controls don't line up and the sides won't glue. I wish I could find another alternative but I can't find one.
Besides that, one will have to carry two devices from now on instead of one, and this Griffin has long chords, that will twist and tangle all the time.
Having to add a device like this iFM is ridiculous. It would be better to just use another device with FM rather than lugging around an Ipod just to power up this other device. Apple should really think about this...
Don't see the point .......2007-05-01
I bought the iFM to use with my new Nano. The only relationship it has with the Ipod is to use it for power. When you plug this into the Ipod, you now have 2 separate devices to carry; the Ipod does not even have to be on for the iFM to work. Ipod really needs to add the FM tuner because having to add a device like the iFM is ridiculous. It would be better to just use another device with FM rather than lugging around an Ipod just to power up this other device.
I don't own this...but consider these other options.......2007-02-10
I have both an iPod Nano and Sandisk Sansa e250. If you don't already own an iPod but is thinking of getting one along with this iFM Radio, consider this:
Cost of iPod+FM = $145+$36=$181
Cost of Sansa = $107
The Sandisk (or even the Zen or the new Samsung) has many more features (MP3 player, Photo viewer, Video player, Voice recorder, FM Radio and MicroSD memory expansion slot) for much less money. I must admit, the iPod is definitely more sexy and more user friendly. I just wish Apple wouldn't get too greedy and instead integrate the FM Radio feature in the next release of iPods.
Value for money.......2006-11-18
Pros:
Good FM reception
good remote functionality
value for money
Cons:
build qaulity seems to be fragile, it still intact for me.
Eqaulizer button is too small to be usable.
both ipod dock connector and head phone jack come from the bottom, it would have been better if headphone jack comes out of the top

Customer Reviews:
Just what I was hoping for.......2007-08-24
I'm impressed with this little thing. The case is well-made and has a very solid feel. The Nano fits perfectly into the skin and into the MiniBlaster. I didn't have difficulties with the fit like others mentioned. Getting the Nano out takes some pushing, but that's the way it should be. You don't want it falling out on it's own and hitting the pavement. All the Nano controls are accessible. The front, circular control (volume/scroll) works fine through a silicon skin and is very protected.
The reason we buy this thing is for sound and size. Size and weight are impressively minimal. You won't beat that anywhere. As for sound, it's not a home entertainment center or a Bose IPod system - it's a tiny little device that offers maximum portability. If you can bring your Bose system along with you, then do it. If you need something small and more portable, then read on.
The sound has a distinct clarity. Mids to highs are crisp and well separated. What you loose is bass. It's attenuated, but not dull or muddy. I wasn't expecting strong bass with a frequency response of 450Hz to 20KHz. It's not built for it and shouldn't be expected.
It's made, as others have said, for you and a couple of friends in an environment without too much ambient noise. If you are looking for a system that you can play at a beech party with a big group of friends, keep looking, because this isn't it. Too many voices chatting away will drown this little thing out.
In a reasonably quiet room or out on the trail, you get enough volume to really enjoy the music. It's loud enough to hear the detail in the sound. It even gets too loud for conversations and has to be turned down. Don't get me wrong, the neighbors won't be calling or stomping on the floor. It has what it needs to fill the niche that it's designed for.
I personally like the sound with the EQ set to "Small Speakers" - seems like a good balance for Classic Rock which I tend to listen to the most.
If you want a small, light and very portable speaker system to free you from headphones and make portable music a social experience between friends again, then you are onto something.
Enjoy!
Great for use while traveling.......2007-08-11
I wanted to be able to listen to podcasts and my own music while commuting and so first purchased (for $80) an FM converter that plugged into the lighter and my iPod and then matched an unused frequency to play what was on the iPod. The sound wasn't great and it changed depending on where I was driving. I spent a lot of time trying to find the right static frequency and match it with the device. In the short time that I tried it out I had to switch frequencies twice.
So, I looked for a speaker. I decided that it wouldn't be a disaster to buy something at this price to try even if it didn't work great. It was what I was looking for! I can use it in the car and also other places where I want to play what is on my ipod so that others can hear. It is not great sound quality, but it is much better than what I was getting with the FM converter and much easier. I can either use batteries or the AC adaptor (I already have a device that converts the cigarette lighter into AC power).
It is a great solution for what I was looking for.
Good Product.......2007-07-26
I recommend this product over similar products that are outrageously expensive. Powerful sound for it's size and easy to use. Great value.
Wow, under 15 bucks including shipping!.......2007-07-04
Don't expect too much bass out of -any- tiny speakers but as a way to turn your nano into a sort of 21st century "transistor radio" equivalent with stereo audio and a better sound quality, this little thing is superb. Talk radio podcasts are delivered very clearly and music can be enjoyed to an extent especially if you choose an appropriate EQ setting on your nano. Volume capability is decent, just don't expect to entertain an audience bigger than about two or three. Battery life is good for the 4x AAA batteries.
JLab Audio.......2007-06-08
The sound is good from the Miniblaster, but getting my Ipod in and out of it is a real chore!! It is very difficult to do. It not only is very hard to place in the miniblaster, but getting it out is even worse. I like the size of it as it doesn't take up a lot of room when I place it on the counter. Just difficult to use. It is also hard to adjust the volume with the "skin" on it.

Great sound quality for such a tiny package.......2007-11-05
I bought the miniblaster portable speaker in December 2006. I was amazed at the quality of the sound for such tiny speakers. Now, almost one year later, the speakers are still going strong. If you are looking for good quality pocket size speakers, these are a good choice.
A Great iPod Speaker........2007-08-08
It is tiny, compact (no wiggley parts to break off) it runs on batteries as well as AC and I am completely delighted with it.JLab Audio MBBG1 Miniblaster Portable Speaker for iPod Nano (Gen 1) - Black
STOP THINKING AND BUY IT.......2007-07-28
Best bang for the buck...i read all the reviews. just buy it. you can't beat $15 shipped. it gets the job done.
Excellent Company.......2007-06-11
My 11 year old daughter saved her $$ and did some on line research and ended up buying these. She loved them for the size which allowed her to take them into bed, on the bus etc. The audio in my opinion was "OK", but she was very happy.
We had bought them along with their noise reducing ear buds which I use while traveling in planes. I can wear them x- country very comfortably
Unfortunately we had technical problems and contacted JBL. I happened to email them on a Sunday afternoon and in about 15 minutes a real person (Josh) responded. A real person.... on a Sunday!!
He resolved the issue- which ultimately required a warranty replacement.
I cannot say enough good things about this company and Josh. I woudl buy their products again without hesitation
What a disappointment........2007-05-26
On my first foray into looking for the perfect mini speaker for my Ipod, I bought the Aiptek Mist for Nano (not realizing it only works with Gen 2 Nano)---boy, was it a cute little thing. Disappointed they don't make that product for Gen 1 Nanos, I searched Amazon for the perfect replacement mini speaker that would work with my Nano Gen 1. The JLab Miniblaster had 4 stars. Folks, speak up, because I cannot be the only one who was shocked by the low quality of this product!!
*When I first plugged it in, you couldn't hear anything because of interference from my TV remote!
*When I finally heard sound it was fuzzy at best and never got much better
*The volume level is only a smidgen better than what I can hear through my earbuds when they are out of my ears!
I read and re-read the direction and am convinced I did everything properly. I even tried it with battery power only, in the house, out of the house. No luck. This is a lousy product and I am giving it one star. This is being shipped back today.

Amazon.com Product Description
Jump to the next generation of iPod speaker sound with the iLive IHT3817DT 2.1-channel system, which not only offers a topnotch audio performance, but also a host of connectivity options for other audio and video devices. The unit starts with a built-in iPod docking station, which works with the iPod 3G, iPod 4G (click wheel), iPod photo 4G, iPod video 5G and 5.5G, iPod mini, iPod shuffle, and iPod nano 1G and 2G. Thanks to the docking station, you can play, charge, and sync your iPod all at once, no extra cords required. The sound, meanwhile, is guaranteed to impress thanks to the pair of full-range stereo speakers and dual subwoofers, which provide a far broader and more robust audio range than most systems in the iPod category. Add in True 3D and SRS TruBass audio enhancements and you have a great system for watching movies in addition to listening to music. The speakers are even magnetically shielded, so they won't interfere with the picture when placed near a TV.
Other than the wide-ranging speaker system, the IHT3817DT's most distinguishing feature is its variety of inputs and outputs. The unit includes four A/V inputs--two RCA and two S-video--along with a traditional L/R audio input and a 3.5 mm auxiliary input. As a result, you can hook up a host of audio and video devices to the speaker system, including a portable MP3 player, full-size CD player, DVD player, satellite receiver, camcorder, and more. At the same time, the system offers composite and S-video output jacks, so you can connect your iPod video or photo to a TV and view your pictures and videos on the big screen. Unlike most iPod speaker setups, the IHT3817DT can actually function as a comprehensive entertainment system, with cables running to most of your audio and video devices.
Other details include a digital AM/FM stereo with station presets for easy channel surfing; a backlit LCD display with a clock, alarm, and sleep timer; several preset equalizer settings; a headphone jack for private listening; a motorized iPod docking drawer; a full-feature remote control; and a mini-USB jack for PC communication (includes USB cable). The IHT3817DT, which is wall-mountable (includes hardware), measures 34.2 by 9.8 by 7 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a 90-day warranty.

Excellent clarity and performance for the price.......2007-12-19
I saw this product in Target a couple days ago. I plugged my iPod in out of curiosity, and played a few songs including recordings of: Nessun Dorma sung by Pavarotti, Do you know you are my Sunshine? by the Statler Brothers, A Moment so Close by Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, and Forsaken by Dream Theater. The product performed a huge cut above all other iPod speakers that were available anywhere near its price of $249 in Target. The midrange was intelligible and fairly natural sounding even at moderately loud listening levels. (Speaking in terms normally reserved for actual stereo speaker systems.) This does not sound like just another iPod system. Its output capability is well beyond most iPod systems. The bass is not prodigious, however it does offer a subwoofer out to add a powered sub. I've been reading other reviews of this system across the net, and it seems most people are just looking for lots of boom in the bottom end.
I cannot stand excessive bass or treble, and iPod systems are especially notorious for having midrange that is heavily lacking in quality and intelligibility while emphasizing boomy and distorted bass and screeching highs from tiny and usually inadequate low and high frequency drivers. Midrange, the part of the spectrum where 90% of music occurs, is simply ignored more often than not. This system actually has dedicated midrange drivers that do not sound like a kazoo when played louder than 70dB. (moderately loud conversation, vacuum cleaner @ 10 feet) In fact, they play very clearly up to about 90-95dB at the listening position (approx 8-15 feet away, as loud as most high quality bookshelf speakers will play without becoming harsh sounding.)
I could actually hear what was happening in the music with this system. Pavarotti sounded like himself, and the deep bass guitar from Victor Wooten in the Bela Fleck track was clear and punchy without sounding 'woofy'. Dream Theater's intricate and complex music was delivered full-spectrum with admirable balance, even with James LaBrie's very unique sound. It won't shake your floor, because it's designed to have something most people don't understand: Balanced sound. It's not going to replace a good pair of B&W or other high end speakers, but it's a massive step up from the average iPod speaker system. Think of it as a larger and higher-output version of a Bose sound-dock (With more connections and features).
Inputs and outputs are massively impressive for an iPod system. 2 full RCA/S-Video video ins, and an RCA/S-video out for your TV, subwoofer line-level out, AM/FM antenna connections. Wall-mountable, and fits nicely beneath a 32" LCD TV.
One thing to note... the iPod dock does seem a bit flimsy compared to the rest of the system. In fact, in the one I tested, it was working, but the display on the front of the dock itself was not functioning at all. I was able to use my iPod, but had to use the non-synced mode. I am assuming that's simply because it was in Target and kids always destroy everything they can get their hands on in those stores. 90 day warranty is pretty standard, and not impressive.
Overall, I rate the product very high in the sound quality and available features areas. Build quality is excellent **with the exception of the dock itself-somewhat sub-standard.
If you want a speaker system that can accept source inputs from your DVD/Gaming/other systems as well as play Radio and iPod music, and mounts conveniently under your TV or on its own stand, and has acceptable performance relative to actual home stereo systems (Extremely rare among iPod systems), this one seems in a class of its own for now.
Great sound & quality.......2007-12-07
I bought this unit to replace my antiquated stereo & I haven't been disappointed. The unit is mounted on the wall below my 60" flat screen & I couldn't be happier with the sound & aesthetics. Good value for the price.
Stay away from this.......2007-11-08
We bought this item without listening to it first. Big mistake. The sound quality on this unit is *very* sub-par, especially for the iPod dock sound. The dock also feels very flimsy, like it will break off at any moment. FM radio could barely pick up any stations at all. The remote that comes with the unit is extremely cheap, and had some rattling part inside. Additionally, the unit would only marginally respond to the remote.
Approximately 5 months after purchasing the item, it just stopped working and displayed random numbers on the front panel. We called "customer service" at iLive, only to be told that the warranty is only 90 days for labor, and that to repair would cost over $100.
Bad product. Bad service from iLive. Get something else from another brand.
