Worth it........2007-10-27
This is a pretty good speaker especially for the price. The sound and volume are good, too, especially given its size. Simple, easy, extremely portable. Slightly heavy because it takes a AA battery.
One thing I've noticed is that after the first use, I heard some static noise when my BlackBerry was getting messages. After that, I thought it was broken because I wasn't getting any sound. I kept it away from my BlackBerry and after a while when I tried it for the second time, it was making sound and worked like the first time. And then I read the review at Amazon and someone said that it needs to be turned OFF when not being used. Maybe that was the cause of the static noise. We'll see.
Dang Battery Switch..........2007-09-23
There's a lot of opportunities I've taken to use this, from proposing to my fiancee (arranging your favorite song for the middle of nowhere is kinda difficult) to playing inspirational music prior to flying a mission. The price and size are excellent, and the volume output is worthy. My only qualm is that the battery does tend to drain when not using it - though this might be to the uncanny nature of the power switch moving to "on" in my flight bag. Absolutely worth it though.
Not worth the money at all.......2007-09-13
It's indeed very portable and super light in weight even when including the 1 AA batrery. But I totally agree with one of the above reviewers regarding the volume. "The sound is small like mosquito" as what we would say in the Chinese language. And the quality of the sound is very poor, too. With same amount of the money, you can buy other potable speakers with much better quality. I am browsing now to get a better one.
Can't play loud enough.......2007-08-15
Good idea for a product, but even at my loudest ipod 30Gb setting, the speakers are not loud enough. It is stereo, but tinny sounding. It's a fun gadget, but I hardly ever use it.
It Really works Sounds nice........2007-08-06
This is a tiny speaker product. It does what it is supposed to do! Good clear sound. Battery life is ok - it fills a nice niche - you can always get a bigger heavier product -- but this is a prize for its size.

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.

Good value for the money.......2007-02-24
I was looking for a small iPod speaker system to use at work and after doing lots of research I settled on this Macally IceTunes system, and I'm glad I did. It fits in perfectly with my work space (a decent size cubicle)and looks good near the black keyboard and monitor I have. More importantly, it sounds great. Now I find that I have a chance to listen to a lot more of my music than just on the commutes to and from work. The sound quality is good, even at low levels (which is important in an office setting). I would recommend this product.
You don't get much sound for 50 dollars these days.......2007-01-12
I bought these speakers for my 11 year old son to user with his ipod. His fifth generation video ipod fits the dock. Several different sized adapters come with the speakers/dock, too. There are two cylinder shaped speakers about 3 1/2 inches high with a 3 3/4" diameter ...also a dock for the ipod. These speakers are OK. They sound good at a lower volume only. If volume goes much higher they start to distort. They are good size for a desk. My son put them on a shelf at the head of his bed. I don't think he minds them right now at his age, but in the near future I think he will want a better quality sounding speaker to play his music.

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.

Don't waste your time.......2007-06-27
1) Sound is dismal beyond belief unless room is absolutely quiet - volume is too weak.
2) Poor design - speakers swivel & rotate annoyingly around your iPod.
3) Overpriced - there are better choices. Don't waste your time or money with this junk.
Don't waste your time with this trash........2007-06-16
I bought this in hopeing that it would be a good emergency speaker for my IPOD Video but it simply sucks. The sound is set at a single level (below conversational sound) so you can only hear it in a quiet place. It falls out and swivels from your IPOD as it doesn't fit well. This device is a serious waste of your money when there are so many other speakers to buy that work better.
Pricey product for the performance it delivers........2007-05-09
It's a good idea but it has some flaws:
1.- Even when it works on any iPod, it was designed for the early models with the headphone connector in the middle.
2.- Sound is very low.
It's well made but needs to be improved and a new model for the newer iPods is also needed unless you don't care the speakers turns around freely and a third of this thing it's off your Pod side.
Waste of Money.......2007-04-29
Please dont waste your money on this thing, the sound is very faint even when turned up to the max and you'll go through alot of batteries just to use it.
Poor Volume.......2007-04-26
This product is a disappointment. The volume coming out of the speakers, even with the iPod volume set at maximum, was barely audible. This product would be great if one could hear it.

Customer Reviews:
Amazing design with great sound.......2007-12-21
We were looking for something different which sounded good and worked with the new iPod touch. We found it in the Macally Flat Panel Stereo Speakers. It's a dual alarm clock with radio and some neat high tech speakers that look like mirrors. We've been more than satisfied and happily recommend it. At this point, finding devices that work well with the iPod touch is still a bit of a challenge but this product fits the bill nicely.
Does its job quite well........2007-12-20
I was looking for something to dock my Nano (1st gen) to which would double as an alarm clock. This works great. The overall look is very minimal, sleek and somewhat reflective. The clock does not light up half my room (like my old one) and is very easy to read at night. The main issue I have with it is that there is no way to turn off the alarm in the morning without disabling the alarm. Or if there is, I haven't found it. This means that you have to remember to set the alarm again- unlike other clocks which just have an 'off' button. The off button on this one just acts as a snooze. I suppose if it came with instructions, that might help. But that drawback just drops it a notch in the ratings. Other than that, FM sounds good, ipod sounds good. I haven't had a chance to test AM, but it does have an antenna for it.
Oh, and the power cord could be longer. I would think that most people put this on their nightstand and drop the cord down to plug in. If your plug happens to be a couple of feet away, you'll need an extension cord.
Worth the cost though. I'd get it again if I had to.
Pleasantly surprised with the Tunepro.......2007-10-03
Don't know why there were no previous reviews for this product -- because so few people had bought it or because everybody who bought it was happy with it?? I'm quite pleased with the Tunepro, especially in comparison with similar products, most of which cost much more. Sound quality is surprisingly good when the WOW feature is turned, not boomy at all, tuner is OK, clock and alarm work OK, product design (appearance and function) are very good. Only criticism is that there is no battery backup for the clock.

Ice Tune.......2007-01-10
The product offers a stackable format which cuts down on space or you can spread it out. Would prefer if it had more bass available but this type has no adjustment. The volumn is consistent up until almost max where there is distortion Purchased this mainly so that my daugher could charge up her ipod.
Good sound... bad stack.......2006-08-17
I wanted a docking system with speakers that I could take to work. I felt like the cords were all over the place. One to go to each speaker and one for the plug. No battery option either. When stacked the unit was pretty unstable. It fell over and apart (and my ipod feel off the dock) when I barely touched it. Though the sound quality was pretty good it lacks an AM/FM tuner which come on most other dock/speaker combos for around this price. Traded mine in for a more stable and solid system with AM/FM tuner for a few more dollars.
Good Office speakers.......2006-06-27
I think this little speakers are great for the office. They do not have a great sound but they are practical and they work great with the ipod.
The perfect docking station for tight spaces.......2006-04-11
I had been looking for a docking station to put on a window sill in my kitchen and could not find one that would be small enough to feel safe. I finally saw the IceTune and it fits perfectly. Not only does it have a tiny footprint but the sound quality is great. In addition, because the speakers can be stacked or separated, you can actually get some separation between the left and right signal. Most of the other docking stations I have seen are built as a single block. As if these attributes were not enough, this just happens to be one of the least expensive docking options out there.
An IPOD must have!.......2006-04-10
These speakers are awesome for the price. They charge your ipod even when the unit is off. The sound quality is great for around 50 bucks. I bought these for traveling and they are small enough to fit in a suitcase without taking up too much room. They also stack so they don't take up much counter space. I can't say enough about the sound quality. They are great!
