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.

Terrible.......2007-12-18
i bought this product and tried to insert my Ipod Nano and found it did not fit. I sent it back and got a new one with the same problem. I sent that one back and got a new one and was still unsuccessful at fitting it in the speaker. I finally got a refund. THIS PRODUCT IS INCOMPETENT I DOES"NT WORK PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!11
Does not fit the 2nd Gen.......2007-07-25
This speaker DOES NOT fit the 2nd Gen Nano, unless you force it in there and risk breaking the speakers, your nano, or both. It does, however, produce some nice sound for the size and price, but nothing too loud or audiophilic. There are plenty of other products that fit the 2nd Gen, so I'd suggest you keep looking if you own a 2nd Gen. If you own a 1st Gen this product is probably for you.
Big Sound in a Tiny Package.......2007-04-06
I expected this to completely suck the life out of my batteries, but this just keeps going and going. It has good sound and didn't cost me nearly what my friends spent for their bigger ones. :)
Wouldn't fit.......2007-02-12
I didn't see anything in the discription about it fitting only the older version of Nano's. I got this for someone for Christmas and we were both very disappointed that it wouldn't fit the new generation Nano. The size was perfect for us, we just wished the Nano would've fit.
poor sound quality.......2007-01-12
This is a great product for kids, but for an adult looking for good sound quality this is not it. It sounds very tinny.
Product Description

Customer Reviews:
awesome product.......2007-09-29
This product is lightweight and a great value for its price. I was hesitant to spend a lot of money on a stereo for my ipod nano because I was not going to use it that often, but it really is an awesome product. It is small, so I was unsure whether or not the sound volume was going to be enough, but it definitely is! I love this product, and how compact it is! It runs on 3 AA batteries, but is included with the purchase! Highly recommended!
Huband loves it.......2007-04-26
I got this for my husband and he loves it. I'm glad you mention that it's for the 2nd generation because I have bought others that didn't say that and they didn't work and I didn't know why. After doing some research I found out that the ones we were tring to use was for the older style. But this works great for the new nano's that are out.

Cheap & Portable.......2007-04-23
Sounds like an AM transister radio, but for twenty bucks it is worth tossing in the suitcase for listening to my iPod Nano as I nod off in a hotel or a spare bedroom. Unfortunately, the LED power indicator light is bright blue and puts off too much light in a dark bedroom. The design and quality are pretty good and the 3 AA batteries seem to last a long time, but it does not charge the iPod so you'll have to carry a power adapter too.
You will probably be satisfied if you are willing to accept mediocre sound quality in order to get very portable and very inexpensive iPod Nano speakers.

Product Description
Let your ears be the judge. From pumping bass to bright treble, iPod Hi-Fi delivers natural, room-filling sound. Close your eyes and you'd think you were listening to an amazing component system. Open them and you realize all that great sound is coming from a relatively small and portable box. Use it at home or at a picnic because iPod HiFi works either from household AC current or batteries. Apple designed it to be the ultimate in iPod friendliness. The dock has adapters to fit all dockable iPods. Then there's a mini plug for non-dockable models such as the shuffle. Use the included Apple Remote to control music playback from anywhere in a room. iPod Hi-Fi combines power and volume with acoustic clarity to produce clean, clear sound with very little distortion, even at high volume. Ultimately, like all iPods, there's are high levels of integrity and quality that reach out to people of all tastes and backgrounds. HiFi is a state of outstanding sound that you can listen and share. iPod represents easy use and world-class performance. Put them together and you've transcended to a new reality. And it's portable so you can take it with you. Make your life HiFi. Two 80-mm wide-range speakers and One 130-mm bass driver Unit Dimensions - Height - 6.6 inches (167.6 mm) x Width - 17.0 inches (431.8 mm) x Depth (including grille) - 6.9 inches (175.3 mm) / Unit Weight (without batteries) - 14.5 pounds (6.6 kg) / Weight (with batteries) - 16.7 pounds (7.6 kg)
Amazon.com Product Description
Fill your home with sound, not stereo components. Keep your music collection at your fingertips, not in countless CD cases. Change the way you experience digital music. iPod Hi-Fi delivers crystal-clear, audiophile-quality sound in a clean, compact design. Hear, hear.
Where did the stereo go?
Just slide your iPod(1) into the built-in Universal Dock to turn on and tune in to digital music as you've never heard it before. From pumping bass to bright treble, iPod Hi-Fi delivers natural, room-filling sound. Close your eyes and you'd think you were listening to a huge stack of speakers. But iPod Hi-Fi measures just 17.0" x 6.6" x 6.9."
Virtuoso performance
As versatile as it is compact, iPod Hi-Fi incorporates thoughtful touches that make playing your music pure pleasure. Use the included Apple Remote to control music playback from anywhere in the room. Charge your iPod through the iPod Hi-Fi dock while you play music. Or take your show on the road courtesy of D-cell battery(2) power. All that makes iPod Hi-Fi pretty extraordinary. Just like iPod.
Rock-solid enclosure
The innovative design of iPod Hi-Fi transforms consumer-grade materials into the ideal enclosure for high-fidelity sound. The high-end sound of iPod Hi-Fi pours out of a double-walled plastic shell redesigned for maximum stiffness to prevent vibration and resonance--two major causes of sonic imperfection. And airtight sealing allows voluminous, unobstructed sound, effectively preventing buzzing and clatter.
The right balance
iPod Hi-Fi features three speaker cones custom designed to provide balanced sound across the frequency range. The result of numerous rigorous acoustic tests, this design delivers room-filling stereo imaging. The two 80 mm wide-range cones are set in dedicated chambers and isolated on the front plate, providing mid and high frequencies that sound vivid and bright. The natural bass of iPod Hi-Fi is generated by a 130 mm woofer. Thanks to the airtight sealing, the low frequencies are enriched inside the enclosure and then directed via tuned tubes through ports in the front.
Energy bar
No need to find a place to hide an unsightly power brick, as iPod Hi-Fi houses all power components internally. Or run iPod Hi-Fi on six D-cell batteries(2). Either way, it plays your music with big, warm sound. In DC mode, custom electronics manage the energy to enhance battery life and sound, even adjusting volume as necessary. And iPod Hi-Fi will charge your iPod from its batteries when the iPod runs low.
Look who's talking
Seamless integration means more than just plopping your iPod into a set of speakers. That's why iPod Hi-Fi actually communicates with your iPod. Just connect your iPod to the built-in Universal Dock and a simple, intuitive Speakers menu(3) lets you personalize iPod Hi-Fi to match your music. Take tone control, for starters. You can choose settings like "Normal," "Treble Boost," or "Bass Boost" to produce tones perfectly suited to your surroundings. You can also choose to display album art in a large, easily viewable format while iPod Hi-Fi plays. Set the backlight to remain on while playing and that album art positively pops off your iPod.
Take charge
iPod Hi-Fi not only plays nice with any iPod(4) using a dock adapter, it charges the iPod, too. Just drop your iPod into the built-in dock and you can play music and charge your iPod all at once. When plugged into an AC outlet, iPod Hi-Fi fully charges the iPod battery. And if you're running iPod Hi-Fi on D-cell batteries(2), it even provides your iPod with a charge so you can still play on the go.
- iPod sold separately
- D-cell batteries sold separately
- Speakers menu and Tone Control only available on iPod nano and iPod with video
- iPod models without a dock connector require an audio cable, sold separately

Customer Reviews:
Apple's Priorities Were in the Right Place.......2007-08-18
My wife and I have a high end home entertainment system that uses Paradigm Reference loudspeakers. I'll say right up front that the Apple Hi-Fi is not in the same league on the low end (bass). However, it is to Apple's credit that they did not try to artificially enhance the low end. The bass is smooth and tight to the physical limits of the small system.
Moving up the frequency range, the midrange and highs are excellent. One of the things that impressed me when we first got the Paradigm's was their projection and imaging. The Apple Hi-Fi projects voices nearly as well, but of course the drivers are much too close to each other to be able to image a large room. It can reach decent sound levels in one, however.
On the weight issue, I believe Apple made a conscious design decision to sacrifice weight for sound quality. It takes weight to make good sound: weight in the power supply, weight in the driver magnets and weight in the enclosure. I for one would not be willing to give up sound quality to get a lighter unit. The compact size also accentuates the weight - this thing is solid.
Apple's often mocked Hi-Fi hype is that it could be your only audio system. Well, if we were forced to downsize and give up our large entertainment system, then yes, I believe we could live with the Apple Hi-Fi as our sole music source.
A treat for sore ears..........2007-07-25
When I was a kid, I was fascinated by better quality sound than I was getting from TV and standard AM radio. I built a bunch of enclosures and amplifiers to see what a 10 year old could do with little money. The quest has continued even now that I'm 61. I've bought cheap "boogy boxes" that had better than average sound. I looked for what I intuitively knew what was possible. I've seen cheap stuff sound better than an Altec Lansing system that the owner said cost $30,000.
I know the serious freaks may complain about Steve Job's hyperbole about this product, but for me, it's rock solid. You can crank it up to max and it never distorts. What Apple gets out of a five inch woofer is amazing. And when you lift the device (and it's heavy), you gotta' know they didn't waste the weight just for the sake of forcing you to lift it; it's all about sound quality.
Just make sure you use this with plenty of space around it. It doesn't sound nearly as good in small inclosed areas. Larger rooms and outdoor spaces show it's potential.
Of the various sound products I've ever bought, this one is the most satisfying.
Totally Worth it........2007-07-25
Sounds great, you can easy move it from place to place, adapts every ipod, I use it outside with out loosing any quality sound. I am very satisfy with the quality sound, The remote is small and practical, (just volume, forward and review)
GREAT SOUND.......2007-07-12
I'm so glad I spent the extra money and went with the ipod home stereo. It sounds amazing and it really can kick out the sound. I was surprised at how heavy it was and i'm not going to really carry it around, but it is perfect for the home. It's nice it has the battery option. Totally worth the extra bucks.
Average plus sound quality.......2007-07-10
Sound of low frequency component is somewhat blurred, making the sound focus less clear. Precise adjustment of resonance control in the box is needed and should be optimised. Design of the box looks modern and good, though. Bose system seems to be well-designed on excellent vibration analysis.
Average customer rating:
- Rich sound
- amazon harassment
- excellent sound
- Faulty Door Latch
- WARNING: Adapter DOES NOT WORK on 2nd gen nanos!!!!

Rich sound.......2007-12-22
I am very pleased with the sound produced by this unit! Sound is rich and full. No distortion when the volume is cranked. Wish I had bought this much sooner!
amazon harassment.......2007-12-17
why is amazon harassing me to review this product? i get an e-mail at least twice a week asking me to review it. why?
excellent sound.......2007-12-15
excellent sound, easy to use. treble and bass are hard to adjust because you can only adjust using the remote. there is no guage. works just as well with 110 or battery.
Faulty Door Latch.......2007-12-08
Although I love the look and the sound blew me away, I am very disappointed the sturdyness of the iM7. After a few months the latch stopped working. They discontinued making them so I have to chose between them replacing with an iM9, which I hear doesn't have the same sound quality or an M602, which isn't portable like this one. I wish I read these reviews before making my selection. If anyone knows how I can fix the latch myself..I'd be grateful.
WARNING: Adapter DOES NOT WORK on 2nd gen nanos!!!!.......2007-12-04
I just set up my IM7 and when I tried to actually put my 2nd gen nano in the dock with the adapter I found that it DOES NOT FIT!
Apparently this is a known problem, as they will send you a proper adapter that actually works, if you complain and pay $3 for shipping, or so I read on an online review of the IM7.
A small amount, but it's their screw-up, I shouldn't have to pay anything. You would think out of courtesy they would send it to you for free, esp. since this is a known problem they just haven't bothered to fix because they apparently don't care about their customers enough to fix it, they're happy to keep charging $3 extra and making people wait before they can actually use their machine they paid for.
ARG!!!
So I'm going to have to wait for a functioning adapter to arrive in the mail, however long that takes.
ALTEC: FIX THE PROBLEM ALREADY! PUT ADAPTERS THAT WORK _IN THE BOX_! AND IN THE MEANTIME, PAY MY SHIPPING!!!

Very cheap speakers.......2007-11-11
Straight to the point:
-Speakers have any amazingly rediculously cheap price
-Good compact design
Be warned, however
-Sound quality-especially on bass- is abysmal
This style ipod and MP3 speaker has currently become really popular and is sold by tens of different manufacturers on Amazon alone.
Simply put, all these speakers are cheap: in price and quality
The main and greatest incentive to buy this speaker or any similar type is the incredibly low price which is infact incredibly low.
Before purchasing this, however, be warned that the sound quality is abysmal. The speaker cannot play bass sounds. Anything above halfmax volume will sound horrible. For a good example of how your music will sound through these speakers, play around with your media players equalizer by throwing the sliders all over the place.
The speaker does look cool with the huge metal center plate. The problem is, the soft spot around it, the diaphragm is almost non-existent. Thus, it is unable to play bass sounds.
These speakers are cheap, but they definately will not sound good. Especially on songs that feature strong or any bass. You won't want to listen to your music.
I would not buy or suggest to buy.......2007-11-02
I was just looking for something small to provide background noise (not even tolerable music) that I could carry to the beach and not be concerned about destroying it. But, this thing didn't even meet my very low expectations. This thing is not work the cost even if the shipping is free. One of the speakers doesn't work at all. To get it to turn on, you have to wiggle the switch to just the right spot. The sound quality is awful.
The only positive thing is the size.
Stylish but lacks in quality.......2007-10-30
I decided to buy this based off the reviews that I read. When I recieved the package I was excited until I opened it up. The speakers are stylish looking, but lack quality in the plastic that they are made up. The foam around the speakers that allow movement is just really bad quality foam. When I plugged in my iPod and turned it on, the speakers blew in less than 10 min of using it.
I wasn't disappointed because it twas only ten bucks. However, my suggestion is not buy this. The speakers do not dock into the iPod but plug in through the headphone jack. On mine, it distorted if the sound on my iPod was turned up more then 3/4 way and if it was below it was too low to hear.
Instead, do yourself a favor and get either some Sonys that cost a little more or spend a lot more and get some good quality speakers.
Don't waste your time.......2007-09-28
They are small, fragile, sound tinny and the first time I tried to use batteries in it I thought I was going to burn the house down. They got so hot that I actually burned my finger removing them from the unit.
I sent a note quickly back to the company about it and did not receive any follow up. Very poor experience.
Were you expecting Bose?.......2007-08-28
So you bought some fold up Ipod speakers for $8. If you complain about the sound than you should probably wear a helmet and have someone make purchases for you.
These little guys actually sound better than I expected...not $100 good, but definitely crisp for 8 bucks. I ended up buying another set for my mom; she's happy with them as well.
TIP: Leave the volume on your Ipod or MP3 player all the way and only adjust the volume on your speakers.

Terrific Little Speaker with Clear, Strong Sound.......2007-09-07
After reading several dozen consumer reviews describing laptop speakers I puchased this one. You simply plug it into your laptop, or USB hub, swivel the gooseneck to position the speaker where you want, and you've got an excellent speaker that fits in a small laptop utility bag.
The only complaint I have is that there is no quick volume control; once you've plugged it into your USB port, it overrides the laptop's volume control "knob". You have to open the volume icon in your Control Panel every time you want to adjust the speaker volume, which can be too slow when you're being blasted by a loud video.
This is not to say that there is anything wrong with the volume modulation in the speaker itself, just that there seems to be a wide volume range across items I view--YouTube, email messages with videos from friends, etc.
If this speaker had a volume control knob it would be perfect!
NOT RECOMMENDED FOR DELL LAPTOPS.......2007-09-02
After several weeks of light, mid-volume use, the speaker stopped working on my Dell Latitude D500 and I began receiving error messages noting a "device malfunction". After trading emails with J-Lab customer service, I was instructed to return the speaker by mail (at my expense) for a refund. The refund I received was 80% of the original purchase price because, according to J-Lab, the device was still "working" upon receipt. The representative handling the return acknowledged that there has, in fact, been a history of compatibility issues with Dell laptops-- in other words, a "working" speaker may not always operate correctly when connected to a Dell laptop. Is trying this speaker on your Dell worth the risk of paying two sets of shipping charges, losing 20% of the purchase price, and spending time emailing representatives and repacking/mailing the device? If not, maybe it's worth considering alternatives.
Are we listening to the same speakers?.......2007-08-08
We bought this speaker for our Gateway M505 Media Laptop on a recent trip. The M505 has reasonable speakers for a laptop, but their volume level isn't quite strong enough for us to be happy--we'd always find ourselves straining to hear dialogue from movies.
From reading the reviews I honestly thought this would solve our problem in a nifty self-contained USB-powered fashion.
For us it didn't.
We found the speakers to be nearly identical to the M505 speakers, and while the B-Flex did give us the tiniest improvement in volume, it wasn't enough to really give us adequate volume, or the "big sound" many reviewers have mentioned. Also, there is no way a speaker the size of these can give the kind of frequency response any level of audiophile would be happy with.
So, who should try out this speaker? If you have standard tinny sounding laptop speakers (the almost nonexistent kind), these will be a big improvement. Also you will like the fact that it is USB powered so no batteries, no cords are needed.
However, having said that, I really think the bottom line is, to get truly better sound, you need to use a powered speaker. I think some of the JBL's may be the way to go.
For cost of these guys, unless you catch them on sale, my advice is to keep looking. We had to return ours. (Thanks to Amazon a really fair & generous return policy).
Definite improvement over stock, and extremely portable.......2007-07-08
My boyfriend bought me this speaker. It is plug-and-play. On my computer, often movies are not loud enough for some reason and with this speaker it's as loud as we could possibly want. Also I can blast my music throughout the house from my laptop - before I could not because it sounded horrible at high volumes.
I'm not much of a sound expert, but I think it sounds pretty good.

Average sound.......2007-03-22
Unless your laptop's soundcard is not working, or your speakers are barely hearable I wouldn't recommend this. Odds are your laptop does as much as these speakers.
It is well built, looks resistant and it does a decent job. Do not expect very good quality.
Like it so much bought it for a friend........2007-03-08
I like the sound of mine so much I bought one fo my friend for his birthday. It's not super loud but you can listen to music from your mac, with good quality. Just plug it into your USB port. My friend loves his too. He uses his all the time. Great for travel.
Works perfectly........2007-01-30
Speakers quit working on my laptop and needed something decent and easy - and this is better than that. Good quality considering size and price.
Lots of power in a small package.......2007-01-19
I really thought the reviews for this item were probably a little over-blown, but the speakers have proven me wrong. As someone who primarily uses their laptop on the go, I have been looking for a set of small, easily transportable, decent sounding speakers. These fit into all three categories. I am pleasantly surprised by the fullness of the sound that they put out. If you're strictly an audiophile, you'd be better off investing in a good set of Bose headphones, but if you need something to quickly and efficeintly plug and play so other people can hear what is on your laptop, then you won't find a better buy for your money.
Cool!.......2007-01-13
It was a gift to my daughter and she was thrilled! We were all amazed at
the "out of the box" design and think that the folks at JLab need to expand and create a whole lot of new "out of the box" stuff to make life
easier and more efficient! And, the speaker sounds GREAT!
