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.

Could easily be a great product.......2007-09-23
I wanted headphones that offered good sound quality, but I didn't want to reach the hundreds to do it.
I discovered this pair, and I read some pretty good reviews regarding sound quality from cnet. However, many of those reviews also stated that they had rather poor cable construction. I took my chances and unfortunately it seems to be true.
I ordered my first pair from ritzCamera, and everything was great. The sound blew away any other pair of headphones I had ever had, and the price was great. After four days the left earphones went dead. RitzCamera didn't even have me send the product back, and a few days a later I received a second pair, with no charge, or hassle. Hopefully this pair would prove that the first just happened to be defective.
This second pair performed perfectly for two weeks. However, the left earphone slowly went dead. As in, I had to wiggle the cable and stand/sit in the exact right position to make sure that things were making full contact. Four weeks after that no amount of positioning my self awkwardly could fix it.
As far as the whole lanyard ability going on, I never used it but, it seemed to be a relatively sturdy set up.
Also, the cables are not insulated in rubber, instead they are insulated with cloth (at least on the outside). This looks rather interesting, but there are two problems. The white cloth gets dirty, and due to the cloths texture a lot of noise is created if it rubs against your shirt or body.
The cloth would hardly bother me if the headphones just had better cable construction.
If that were the case, these would be a great sounding cheap pair of headphones.

Etymotic Research ER6i Isolator .......2007-12-22
This is my second pair of this exact make. Have used the first pair for over a year with no problems. Very good sound reproduction and if you get them seated properly the bass is very good. Great passive noise reduction which allows you to play the volume at a lower level saving some wear and tear on your eardrums. Very comfortable. I do like the foam inserts better than the silicone. Either way they get kind of gross and need cleaning (wax you know) fairly often. Best earbuds I have used.
it's not at all like they say it is !!!!!.......2007-12-03
thought i paid a bargain price, because of the 50% off pricing with the good reviews on the product.
but, it turns out, the product is not all it was cracked up to be.
i really don't see too much differnce in quality of the sound or the convenience for the money that i paid for.
my recommendation, just get a decent regular, or, even sticking with the original ear phone that comes with most of the product that requires earphone(i-pod, mp3 players, or computers...), you are not missing anything.
bottom lime, it's not worth the money to pay too much money for a set of high end in-ear phone.
very good product.......2007-12-02
These sound good, stay in my ear, and they really do well in reducing wind noise, I bought them for long motorcycle trips, They are worth the money!
Great Comfort and Fast Shipping.......2007-11-20
I ordered these Earbuds after a recommendation from a good friend of mine and reading some reviews on the comfort level these provide. I cannot use the IPOD buds due to the sever pain after wearing them for about 2 or 3 minutes.
These are by far the most comfortable pair of buds I have ever owned. The blockage of external notice is probably more like 95% to me (states on their website 98%).
I cannot comment on the sound quality as I am no professional music person. For my listening at work and home while working they are perfect!
Free Shipping from Amazon got to me in two days (ordered Friday and received them on Monday).
Great Price for a great pair of headphones.
Sorry, but these just don't cut it.......2007-11-19
I've given these a fair try and tried every possible permutation of eartip style.
I know how to use earplugs because I use them for sleeping . I also have excellent hearing and do NOT enjoy a booming bass in my music.
No matter what I do , the best I can get out of these is a mediocre , and shrill sound performance. Even when there IS some bass, the mid range is 'flat' and high ranges are harsh, where the same source played through speakers or other external headphones sounds much better.
Could be a matter of ear canal shape/size, but at best , buying these will be a gamble for anyone. Be prepared for the trouble of returning them.

Pretty good.......2007-12-13
I bought a similar one year ago. But the left phone was just broken. I found this one is the only one on sale on amazon.com
It is actually improved for its mobility, since a clip added on phone. I hope it will last for more than one year.
I use ear phone every day.
Don't do it!.......2007-12-06
The sound quality is subpar at best, the volume and clarity of sound is about 50% of those from the original ipod packaging, therefore totally worthless and waste of money. In addition, the wrap around feature is not adjustable and does not conform to the ear, making it very difficult to keep them on unless you sit still...
Sound good ... while they last........2007-11-08
This was my third pair of Sony earbud style earphones in less than three years and they quit like the two before. After about 9 months, one or both ears just stop working. I had a pair of Sony MDR-EX71 Fontopia Headphones (whithout the over-the-ear thing) and after they quit, out of brand loyalty, I bought another pair. Same thing. This time I bought the MDR-EX81 and they broke a few months ago. I'm generally careful with my things and three times isn't a coincidence, so I must conclude that these earphones suck.
good headphones.......2007-10-25
Its a good headphone which fits around the ear easily and produces good sound.. But I actually liked the black fontopia without the thing going around the ear.. I gifted this to my sis and she is enjoying using it.. Its a good product by sony.
save your $$, don't purchase these.......2007-09-12
I've been purchasing from amazon for years but this is my first review. After reading all of the other reviews on this product I decided they would be the solution for running w/ my iPod as the stock apple earbuds just fall out. Well, these do not adjust in any way so you'd better hope your ears are the same shape and size as they'd designed these for. they're very uncomfortable and keep slipping.. plus the sound SUCKS. Other reviewers said the bass response was great. Bologna. sounds like crap. You have to shove these way way into your ear canal to get the bass but they don't stay put there and again more discomfort. I hate em. waste of money.

pretty decent set of headphones.......2007-03-21
these are your typical heaphones. they have a decent sound for a relatively cheap price. i'd compare them to your standard iPod or Sony type in terms of sound quality. retractable part is OK, but has a tendency to get stuck if you don't do it slowly (much like window shades)
