Excellent Small Radio.......2007-12-26
This is simply the best portable AM/FM radio I've found. It's very small and digitally tuned with presets.
For the non ipod owners.......2007-11-16
For the money, this little walkman is worth it. My gym is in the bottom floor of a condominium so the reception is not very good, but once outside it improves. It serves it's purpose.
Sandra
Its an ok product.......2007-11-09
my only complain is that is does not get great reception. Not bad for the price but it would be better if the reception was better.
Good One.......2007-10-30
My son got me this little gem for my birthday last year, mainly because I was admiring his SFR-M37V when he was home visting.
The Radio works very nicely for my walks in the morning on AM or FM. What others say is true though it does not do well on real weak stations on AM during the daytime because of it small internal antenna. I would think this would actually work to advantage in a large metropoliton city though because it would not have as much bleed over from other powerful stations.
At any rate it receiver does work well and in the evening I listen to 1100 on AM in Cleveland from the St. Louis area, and also pick up all the clear station power house stations in New Orleans, Chicago, Denver, Nashville, etc.
Contrar to some reviews here I think this little receiver has excellant sound, so if you get a one that sounds bad send it back for an exchange.
This is a rugged little radio, my son has climb many of the highest 115 mountains in the east with this radio in the winter. He uses it for the weather band.
It seems to do very well on batteries also considering it is a digital radio.
All in all very good radio for the money. I would actually have rated this radio at 4 1/2 stars if possiable.

Best Digital Portable Radio Ever........2007-12-21
This is the second of these radio's. I like to take one along in the car
if there is something I want to hear on TV. Works great.
Recommend this radio to all.
I can't listen to this.......2007-09-27
Let's be honest, the speaker in this thing sounds terrible. It's so shrill and scratchy that AM stations sound hissy and off-frequency, and FM sounds like a toy. Maybe it sounds better through headphones but if you're going to listen to it that way then you might as well get a DT-110 which is a great headphone-only radio.
On top of the bad sound, the plastic case on this one looks really cheap.
On the positive side, it has a sensitive tuner and good features. I especially liked the alarm clock feature. If only Sangean could have made this one sound as good as their SG-622 it would have been a keeper but I can't stand to listen to it so it's going back.
The Best Portable Radio Ever.......2007-09-02
I bought one of these little radios after having several others, including the Grundig. In short, this thing is terrific. It has presets like a car stereo, locks onto signals well, is easy to use, has its own little ear buds and uses batteries sparingly. In fact, I use rechargeable batteries and even those last a good, long time.
This is the happiest I've been with a radio ever. The features, interface and performance are all terrific. Now I do listen to talk radio predominantly, so that's what my performance testing is based on.
one solid hunk o' cheese.......2007-06-26
My radio needs are mostly limited to travel, where I'm away from podcasts, Sirius, TV, and regular radio, and I like to put on the news and maybe fall asleep to whatever. Occasionally I like to listen to a ball game or something. Maybe take it to the beach or camping. So casual needs mostly, but enough to want something reliable with appropriate features. Portability is necessary, but I don't need to use it as a full-time walkman.
Seeing as the iPod has no radio, and even others don't have AM, I've bought a couple of portable radios over the years trying to find something that fit my needs. Some little COBY pos, a couple of small, but not too powerful, SONY models, and even an analog little thingy. Anyway, after the last one I "saved up a little" and bought this one. I was on the verge of getting one of the smaller SANGEAN radios, but this one seemed to have all the right features, and I was willing to live with the bigger size.
PROS
1. digital tuner, powerful AM/FM reception. TV reception, too
2. 10 presets per channel/30 total
3. built-in FM antenna (the smaller Sangean require you to plug-in a wire or the headphones)
4. "seek" feature for scanning frequencies
5. 90-minute auto shut-ff (optional), clock, alarm.
6. Solid build, pretty good sound from the speaker. Certainly good enough for a game or beach tunes. Stands on it's own. Battery cover slides and pivots, for a tight closed position and remains attached so it won't get lost.
7. Normal 1/8 inch Headphone-jack. Could also be used for output to separate speakers. When going thru headphones FM can be switched between stereo and mono for better sound/reception.
8. Simple interface, easy to operate, even in the dark.
MEHS
1. nice leatherette case. will probably lose it, radio doesn't need it really.
2. included, attached, retractable headphones. I guess this is better than HAVING to bring your own, but they might stop working someday, or the spring mechanism might get jammed... not that there's been any indication of this as of yet. Really, they don't sound bad and will be good in a pinch, On the other hand, they probably add (a little extra) bulk and as far as ear-buds go, aren't that confortable.
3. back light - the "light" button turns on a green bulb on the far left that barely lights the whole display. better than nuthin' tho
4. No AC adapter. Not sure I need it, would be nice, probably lose it. The batteries last a loooong time and AA's are cheaper and better than AAA's.
CONS
1. size. A little bigger than a Zune, reminds me of my original plam-pilot. Very portable - definitely fits in your hand, and you could use it walking around or jogging in a pinch, but it might be little awkward at the gym. An acceptable price to pay for a good speaker, AA batteries and whatever else makes this go.
2. price. Kinda steep, but I don't think I'll be buying another radio for a while.
So far, so good. This one has it all
**UPDATE**
I LOVE the attached headphones. They are actually super-convenient, and let me leave my good headphones attached to my iPod. The quick-rewind button is pretty cool.
Mike D........2007-03-19
Excellent performance for the price. Good sound and excellent reception on AM and FM. Two AA batteries seem to last forever. Excellent travel radio; easy to use and easy to pack. This is our second one; first one bit the dust after numerous drops; amazing that it was able to take so many falls; this must be called durability.

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.

I like this Radio.......2007-10-06
Over the last 10 years or so I've purchased 2 or 3 of these. My wife and I like to run with them. They're light, get decent AM and FM reception, and last a long time on 1 battery. One died in the rain and another after 5 or 6 years of use but that's to be expected in my opinion. The preset buttons are large so they're easy to find when running and the bass boost button is nice to give weak headphones a little extra bottom kick on those windy days.
Panasonic RF-SW50 Shockwave Portable Radio .......2007-09-04
This is the third radio I've had. It gets good reception and is easy to use. I tend to be rough on the radios I've had and they last well. The previous two eventially begin to turn themselves off. I tried a similar Sony radio and the static and hiss were unbearable.
I would recommend this radio.
It's alright.......2007-08-29
I think it is way too expensive for just a radio. i bought it 3 years ago to go running. this was before mp3 players were getting popular. I ran with it and it lasted and I think it still works but honestly for just a radio it is not worth it. I still have scars on my arm from the armband and it was a lot bigger than it looked online.
Radio is nice - but was expecting more.......2007-01-11
This radio is nice. The buttons are easy to use, only uses one battery, shows battery status, but I was expecting better reception of hard to receive stations which I don't find to be the case. My mom however lives in Toronto where stations often overlap and she finds it works excellent for separating close frequencies. She owns two.

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.

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.

It is good item but it is need more time to return it........2007-05-13
I am apprecitate that this company change my item even though I though away my box and assessory item alrealy. I should say that this company very concerns and be responsibility of a costomer. Thanks again....
Nice idea, just doesn't work.......2007-04-15
Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time. I bought one of these for each of my boys, and also bought an adapter so I could plug it into the wall. Tiny player; doesn't take up much space, and can be used with batteries while we're on the road. The problem? BOTH players freaked out in a matter of months!!! Most often, one or the other just doesn't work (or won't read a CD). Neither allows me to pause or skip ahead anymore. If you touch it funny, it just dies.
I would have given this a five in the month or two after I got both of mine. But I have to guess that since TWO pooped out, it's not just a fluke.
complaint.......2007-02-22
I already had purchased a Coby CD player from you and like it. So, I ordered another one for my wife. It arrived and on arrival it made a noise rather than operating....and never did work from day one. So.... I sent it back immediately to Amazon Customer Service. Naturally......I received no response and doubt that I ever will get one.
I never will order any electronic device directly from Amazon.
Very dissapointed customer. I buy often on Amazon.
PAUL GAUDETTE
Virtually useless.......2006-10-29
When I read the previous review about this thing skipping, I didn't pay too much attention because I intended to keep it on my kitchen counter. However, it skips while anyone walks anywhere near it. This is the most amazingly unstable CD player I've ever seen. The best I can say for it is that with the right peripherals, it could be a nifty seismograph.
Problems with his CD Player.......2005-04-15
When I saw this on line it looked good but when I received it and played a CD on it and I was walking around it skips I really like this walkman because it has FM/AM radio I can not take it back because I broke the package that it came in. So in regards to this CD Player DON'T BUY IT PLEASE.

What a sad excuse!.......2005-12-20
I have an old sony "Sports" headset radio -- Model SRF-M59. I have used it and loved it for years, but it's fallingn apart. When Sony came out with this one, I was happy to order it, thinking it would be as good as my old one. It is not. We have a strong local FM station and I can't even get it much of the time. I'm back to using my old one -- and buying duct tape.
I like them.......2005-07-09
I'm a construction worker and I wear these around my jobsites. I like them because I can still wear a hat, and there's no antenna sticking up. They put up with abuse well, cloth ear covers wear out very quickly. The digital tuner, with presets, is really necessary for station changes. I can't be standing around fiddling with my tuner all day.
I agree with the reception complaints, and I don't need weather or TV (although Sesame Street in audio only is amuzing). After all day my earlobes are definately sore, but I think that cannot be avoided if the radio is going to hang off of them.
All-in-all this is the only headset I'll use. The orientation and the station pre-sets set it completely apart from all others I've seen.
Great radio.......2005-02-27
I have a neck size of 19 am 400lbs and it fits my head.
Dont believe all the negative reviews, communist made products are the best in the world,and this is one of them.
I bought mine on this site used and it is great, I love it.
Mediocre at Best .......2005-02-22
I expected more from Sony!
In a nutshell:
Reception is so so - my Work Tunes are much better.
Poor and Odd ergonomics - if you have a big bean (or big hair) these really will not fit you.
I bought these for my wife to garden with and by the end of the second weekend she had given up using them. I ended up buying a second pair of Work Tunes for us to use around the house.
Great Headphones for Sporting Events.......2005-01-12
I needed a new set of headphones to take to sporting events, primarily football games. I got a good deal on a refurbished set of these headphones and I think they are great.
Great reception inside the RCA Dome. I normally just listen to the local radio broadcasts of the game, but if I want to hear what the TV analysts think of a certain play, I can hit a couple of buttons and listen to the TV broadcast.
I wore these headphones pretty much the whole game last week and they were very comfortable. I have also listened to music on them and they sound pretty good.
I've read the other reviews and I can't speak to how these will perform when excerising. I'm sure there are better sounding headphones but these are better than any I've ever owned. I think they are perfect for sporting events because you have AM, FM, TV, and you can check the weather.
Amazon.com Product Description

Mine lasted for over 7 years and served me well for 100s of runs and dozens of baseball games. Eventually the headband cracked and the batteries didn't stay tight enough to conduct electricity, but it served me well.
What's the next best product of this type available today?
Piece of junk; Sony's quality is fading quickly!!.......2004-04-15
This radio, at first sign, is great. But, live with it for a while and you will change your attitude quickly.
First of all, the plastic that contacts your ears is hard and funky, which is painful after 10 minutes or so. Second, the battery life is HORRIBLE!! I get 1 3-hour baseball game's worth at best. I get a message in the display stating that the battery life is gone, then I can remove and replace the batteries and get more life. Good or bad? This sucks, because the excessive handling and ineffective display are a joke!!
I own many other Sony products and I feel that they are living off of their past branding successes. It is apparent to me that they are no longer "top of the line" and are cutting too many corners on the quality. Color me gone!!
A big disappointment.......2002-02-26
The part of the headphones that touch your ears is made of HARD PLASTIC. No cushioning at all, and sadistically uncomfortable. They also make a constant clicking sound when you walk or job. It's a shame, because otherwise this is a good product with a very good radio tuner.
Great product........2002-01-21
great sound quality and reception, double headbands may not secure enough for jogging but are great otherwise, station presets and clock are great features.
Good Sound, Bad Stability.......2001-08-16
Ask yourself why you want this radio? If it is just to listen to radio at the desk or while watching a ball game then it is great, 5 stars. Great FM capture, solid sound. 2AA, versus AAA, gives superior power. BUT, if you are a runner, like myself, then look elsewhere. It just dosen't have the stability to hold up to jogging. First the adjustable headband dosen't lock in position enough to hold it on your head. Second the AA bateries that improve the sound, over the non-sport Sony Headphone, weighs down that side and causes the unit to fall from the head. Finally, the speaker pads click constantly while you run and after a mile it gets really annoying. I really wanted this one to work. I prefer headphone radios over armband for running and this would be my 4th unit. Sweat and salt rust out the speakers over time and I hoped that this model would prevent that. Unfortunately, it just dosen't hold up to jogging like other headphones. I really don't think they tested this thing on runners.

OUCH-KABOOBLE! (As Austin Powers says).......2007-11-02
I guess this radio was designed by a grey alien because it HURTS MY EARS! OUCHKABOOBLE!!!!!
I am a human last I checked and these alien peripherals just plain hurt!
Also, the reception plain stinks, I use it around the house with an FM transmitter hooked up to my computer which allows me to walk around and listen to my favorite radio shows. For that the reception is good, but then again, I'm the broadcasting station.
The ear pieces have to go! or sell them in Beta Reticuli.
I MISS MY HM55 which broke after 5 years of use. Why isn't Sony making them any more? This is total junk!
Hurts and has piercing high pitch noise.......2006-08-13
I bought this for use at the gym where different TVs are set to different frequencies. Ear plugs are made of a hard plastics and hurt my ears. When tuned to any frequency,you can hear a high frequency continuous noise.
Sony should take this product back and apologize to its customers.
If I wanted ear pain I'd listen to John Tesh.......2006-06-28
One star, only because zero is not a selection.
Have to agree with the others who criticized this product. After removing it from the packaging I never even made it to the point of putting in a battery to listen. I put it on and tried adjusting the ear pieces over and over, then took a break and tried it again, and I never got anything but pain no matter the setting. And the pain persisted for an hour or two afterwards, it was as if somebody had held me down and forced something unpleasant into my ear canals with a bit of force. Bottom line, this radio is so poorly designed that I never made it to the point of putting in a battery and turning it on before packing it back into the packaging and sack to return it tomorrow.
I previously had a Sony headphone radio, SRF-HM55, that was an excellent product. Why they decided that comfort not only does not matter, but that they should strive for the least comfortable design possible, is beyond me. I will be looking to other companies for my small electronics needs in the future, if they can screw up something this simple so badly I shudder to think what else they have on the market.
Sony headset.......2005-11-22
This has to be one of the worse products ever. How can any normal person use this product without PAIN when wearing it? Its got to be one of the worse engineered products. The ear piece just makes no sense. Save your money and buy a more traditional headset with a comfortable ear piece.
Comfortable it's not........2005-09-18
The tiny earbuds looked like a better idea. I'm used to my Etymotic earbuds and expected a move ahead from Sony. Instead, it was a giant lurch backward. The electronics have improved over earlier models, but those pesky earbuds - OUCH!!! Be sure to try one on before you spend your bucks on one.
