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.

Customer Reviews:
Not happy with these.......2007-10-25
Bad design. The retractable wire container is too large and keeps bumping me. I would not recommend this product. The sound is fine, but the big box-like wire holder is a nuisance. The length on the wire to the box is not retractable.
Don't Waste Your Money.......2007-08-16
If you are considering purchasing this product...don't. It is a waste of money. The retractable wires got stuck the second time I used it. I suggest you find something better.
Terrible item..........2007-08-08
Ok, so it worked for a few months. A $1.50 set of ear buds will work for a few months too but that isn't what this item is supposed to be. I liked the concept and it saved space but it broke. It broke. It broke. It broke. And just so we are clear, it broke. One ear piece at a time it did! I cut loose the first one that died (about four weeks of ownership) and figured that one out of two wasn't so bad. Then five weeks later the second one broke. In short, a waste of money in my opinion. Try another brand.
Don't waste your time.......2007-07-05
These ear buds are terrible. They don't stay in your ears and retract when you don't want them to. I would not recommend this particular item.
Sound good, wires weak.......2007-04-10
I loved these earbuds for 5 weeks, right up until they stopped working. The wires to the iPod (the stationary wires, not the ones that wind up) disconnected or broke inside the retractable casing. For a while it worked if I taped the cord so it pushed the wires into the case. But quickly stopped working altogether.
Too bad, they're comfortable, the sound is fine (great on the bus), and the retraction works good.

Customer Reviews:
Almost great.......2007-08-30
I use my 2 year-old Nano a lot! I listen to audiobooks on my daily 2 1/2 hour cummute, so the thing is practically permanently attached to my neck. Within a year of purchasing my nano & white Apple lanyard, I had a very dirty-looking lanyard, even though I tried washing it & scrubbing it with a toothbrush, etc. Though clean, the thing remained greyish. I found the Griffin black lanyard and thought I had a permanent solution to the problem. Alas! Although the Griffin lanyard has fine sound, & a better, more practical look, its construction is not nearly as durable. At the back of the neckpiece is a rubber connection where the string for the neck and the headphone wires meet-- the rubber insulation wore out at the juncture and rendered the copper wires frayed-- in sum, it was kaput after 6 mos. Why can't Apple make a black lanyard or Griffin make a more sturdy one? Ugh.
Great Price!.......2007-07-10
There is no other headphone for this price. What a deal! I couldn't believe how inexpensive they were, and they are so small too. They must be the lightest ones on the market.
Good product at economical price.......2007-07-10
I like the tunebuds. It's a good concept - earbuds and lanyard, all in one. Fits good, sounds good, and looks good, especially when I'm out for a run or working out. My wife doesn't know it yet but I'm buying another set for her.
I LOVE THESE HEADPHONES.......2007-07-10
i have tried different ,about 25, headphones and earbuds, but these were the best fitting and best sounding ones that i could find. these were awesome, and on amazon, you can find them at a VERY Good and inexpensive price.
its just another great item that i have found while shopping on amazon.
So-so sound, great idea with problems.......2007-05-22
What could be better than hanging your first generation ipod nano around your neck?
Well, First off, I must say that these headphones lasted about 3 months before they were totally unusable. The plastic coating on the wire coming from the neck cord to the earbuds hardened so much that it actually started to snap in places before the left side was just hanging together by the exposed audio wires. This is an unforgivable flaw in this product.
Sound quality was passable if you didn't care about what your music sounded like. I must say that they did feel comfortable in my ears. Of course, when the wire started to harden they were difficult to keep in the ear.
I really like the design. Much better than Apple's lanyard headphones, in my opinion. The cord around the neck is comfortable as it's cloth covered. You barely know it's around your neck. The other flaws detract from what could have been a stellar product.
Average customer rating:
- Better than iPod earbuds by far
- Outstanding Sound from these Earbuds

Customer Reviews:
Better than iPod earbuds by far.......2007-05-27
I had written a positive review of the iPod nano lanyard a year ago, and now I wish I hadn't. They whistled; they really weren't small enough for my ears; and the sound quit on one earbud after six months. So I bought these Griffins, and they are perfect. The earbuds actually come in a very small size, which appears to be needed by many users besides me, judging from the comments on the iPod lanyard site. The Griffins snap in more securely than the iPod's, too. The lanyard length isn't adjustable as on the iPod's, but its length seems just right anyway. I think these are easily the superior product.
Outstanding Sound from these Earbuds.......2007-05-04
These are the closest in quality to the earbuds that came with my ipod nano, and WAY more comfortable! Excellent muffling of outside noise, without the sound quality being muffled itself. Great bass, great overall. Highly recommend these and I have bought three other pair before nailing it with this product! The design is convenient too, no long snake-y cords wrapped all over me. Excellent value.
Tunebuds as good as Apple Originals.......2006-08-18
The Griffin Tunebuds are as good as the Apple Originals for a better price. They fit the ear better, reduce more noise and work just as well as the originals. The fixed length and attachment point seems to hook under shirt colars more.

Customer Reviews:
you get what you pay for.......2006-06-03
You get what you pay for.
The winding mechanism is like having a paper weight attached to the middle of a cable. However, a paper weight would probably be sturdier than how this thing feels.
The sound quality is just disturbing. Even once you adjust your treble (if you can) it still sounds like you're listening to a phonograph in the middle of a narrow concrete tunnel. On mute I somehow manage to hear an air noise which reminds me of sitting in an airplane waiting for take off with an air jet blowing on me from above. Apparently the word to describe the sound quality is 'claustrophobia'.
Just about the only thing these earbuds have right is comfort. I could wear these things for hours and forget about them being in my ears.

great case .......2007-10-22
luv my new ipod case. The storage for the headphone wires is so great. keeps everything neat and together.
It looks nice, but a little big for 30 gb Ipod.......2007-01-13
I have bought a this product for my 30g Ipod video, It looks really nice with this new case, but it is bigger that my ipod. Dont fit very well
I like it.......2006-11-09
I paid twice as much for this product at a store in town than amazon is offering it for. Still, I think this is a great design and I really like it. The earbuds fit neatly on the back (standard ipod earbuds). The only downfall is that there is no screen protector. But, you can buy screen protectors that fit right over the screen for pretty cheap.

Customer Reviews:
I don't like it..........2007-11-10
well, for earphones at $0.01 + $4.99 shipping fee, these earphones are useable, but only useable. When i opened the package, the first word popped out of my head was "plastic", yea, plastic. And the earbuds are a size bigger than the REAL ipod earphones. So when I put them on, it's not very comfortable. I haven't been wearing them for a long time, but i predict that my ears will hurt after wearing them for a while.
my suggestion is that if you are just looking for cheap + not too good quality earphones, these are good for you. Otherwise, don't get it, you will be very disappointed...
not real ipod headphones.......2007-10-18
these are not real ipod headphones, they only look like it and the product page tries to trick you into thinking you are buying real ipod headphones. the sound quality is horrible compared to real ipod headphones and you will realize this immediately once you use them. don't bother buying them because you will replace them immediately.
These ear phones?.......2007-07-07
Delivery.
-I ordered this three days ago. I just got it today. I'm using them now. It doesn't take long for it to be shipped to your address. The delivery is well. It came in a brown well patted envelope. In my opinion, the delivery varies in areas. It depends on where you order from.
Product.
-The picture shown above does not look like the one I got. When you look at it, it looks like an ipod product. The wire length is about 3-3 half feet long. It has an ipod feel to it. The product it's self is great. It looks original. It doesn't stand out, as if you would care ^__^
Quality.
-I'm listening to them right now. The quality is bad if you want to know. Well, its not too bad for people who really want it without a care of bass. The bass is a problem for this earbud. Its has stereo, not like those really cheap earbud(I have had those before). The sound quality is great but bass really lags in this one.
Bottom line.
-If you need ear phones and do not care about the sound quality, this ones for you. This product isn't bad but great for those who need earphones badly at a price that is low. I'm going to put this product to good use till I buy a new one.
Seller MyGift is doing a good job.......2007-06-06
Good quality. Fast shipping. Can't ask for more
the length of the cable is way too short.......2007-06-02
okay sound, really short cable, cool cable expander which keeps the cable from tangling, it's definitely not the picture shown, if you plan on playing sports with these headphones just forget it because the cable is so short that it wont even reach your pocket.
