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.

Great little unit for the price.......2007-11-06
Can't complain about something that sounds this good and costs $32.50. These speakers sound so much better than listening to music through my laptop. Of course, you can't expect booming speakers for this price. What you get is a really nice sound that isn't tinny. Great for your desktop or on the go. As far as the buzzing sound goes, if you make sure your ipod volume is up high enough...to where you don't have to turn the speaker volume up very much, you won't get the buzzing.
Nice little item for a teenager.......2007-08-01
Although this will not replace a true stereo, it is just the right size for a teenager's room. It allows my daughter the opportunity to listen to the music she likes, without commercials and produces great sound for its size.
Perfect!.......2007-06-27
I bought this based on other reviews and I'm happy to report that they were right in praising this product for it's function for the price. It's a great way to use your iPod shuffle in other ways. I use it in the bathroom, when I'm getting ready every morning.
The volume goes surprisingly high and you can hear the air kicking out of the subwoofers. The sound is clear and rich.
A great purchase!
The perfect compliment to my little shuffle.......2007-06-08
My best friend got us these little shuffles from her company for $5 and for us it is perfect. I made this purchase right after getting it. I love it. This is the perfect portable stereo for me. The sound is fantastic.
Works like a charm.......2007-05-15
I purchased this product for my 8 year old son simply so he could listen to his soothing music all night. The fact that it charges his ipod while playing the music is a real time saver. The volume doesn't go very loud, but as I said we purchased it for night time lullabys. Although, I didn't feel the sound was distorted at the higher levels. The design is compact and doesn't take up too much space. It also folds up nicely in it's own little carrying case to take on trips.

Excellent Product.......2007-10-21
I've had my i-Station for 3 years now. I use it mostly at work, so keep the volume low. But I've taken it home and cranked it up and the sound is wonderful for its size and price. Never had a single problem with it and from the others I've seen, this is the best for the money.
Great product.......2007-07-04
I have three of these in several rooms in the house and they are great to keep music playing and the ipod charged. Good sound for a compact item.
Wear Down More than others.......2007-06-11
I've had these speakers for about a year and a half. The distortion factor has always been a bit of an issue. But usually the volume is low enough that it wasn't an issue and the sound was fine. However, as the speakers age, the distortion increases. Now after a year and a half choral numbers where large groups are singing together get distorted. Not even that large of groups either. I still keep the volume pretty low and the speakers now distort more than ever. I don't travel much with them. So I have no idea about the distortion factor increasing other than just from regular almost daily use.
Yeah they're a good buy and I was very impressed at the begining, but if they don't last I'm bummed.
Perfect little speaker system.......2007-05-26
I got these for my 8- and 10-year-olds for christmas and didn't want to spend too much. The sound is absolutely perfect for their second generation nanos as well as my 1st generation nano. They come with multiple adapters to fit a multitude of MP3 players. I love the fact that you can plug them in, but they take batteries as well. Also, the speaker station charges the ipods too! Can't ask for anything more.
Good sound.......2007-05-08
I don't have much to compare it to but this has worked really well for me. I can get clear sound loud enough to hear it in a bunch of different rooms - and that's what I was looking for!

Great Companion for the iPod.......2006-07-28
I received a 60 GB iPod for Christmas. While I am not as frequent a music listener as the current generation, I do enjoy listening to classical music at my desk as well as audio books, of which I am a devoted listener. The Logic3 Station dock is a perfect companion for the iPod. While its sound, understandably, does not rank with expensive audio systems, it is more than adequate. Important to me was the fact that it requires so little space and is also a charging station for my iPod. I thoroughly enjoy the Logic3 unit!!
Penny for Penny the best Value in iPod Speakers.......2006-02-09
Without a doubt this iStation is the best value I found in iPod speakers. I shopped for 2 months, thinking that for $50 more, I could get a better deal. Not the case- these hit the sweet spot- they have all the features of the $175 speakers.
USB & Firewire cable included.
Great Sound- 12 Watts of output and a dedicated sub-woofer! The sound is clear and can easily fill the entire first floor of my house (1200 sq ft)
Charges my iPod and can even be used as a dock/synch cradle. Compatible with my son's nano and my 5G with video.
Folds up nicely and comes with a protective cover- I can toss it into my bag and take it to the beach. Oh, it operates on batteries too!
So, cables included, charges, synchs, battery operable, great sound, works with all iPods; how could you go wrong? I know, you could buy another brand. Don't make the mistake, get these!
iStation is perfect for bedrooms, dorm rooms, office, beach, boat, RV, camping, etc. Makes a great gift too!
