Amazon.com Product Description
Set your music free as only JBL can do it with the On Stage II iPod speaker system. The On Stage II is a compact yet powerful high-performance sound system that fills your room with clear, accurate sound and all the volume you (and your friends and neighbors) can handle. Users will dig the easy-to-use touch controls, with volume and mute buttons that respond with just a hint of pressure. The On Stage II's wireless remote, meanwhile, lets you control your music from up to 50 feet in any direction, even through walls. It's a must for parties, backyard barbecues, and any other occasion in which you want to enjoy your full iPod library out loud.
The On Stage II incorporates the Apple iPod universal dock adapter, which is compatible with most docking versions of the iPod, including the mini, nano, and 5G versions (excepting the iPod shuffle). The system isn't restricted to iPods, however, as it also includes a stereo mini-jack connection that works with MP3 players, portable CD players, desktop and laptop computers, and even satellite radio receivers. And thanks to the system's OnePoint design, you can charge and sync your iPod without connecting it directly to a computer. Instead, the OnePoint connectors do the work for you, so you can add new songs from iTunes easily and efficiently.
The On Stage II's powerful sound is the real highlight, however. The system includes four aluminum-domed Odyssey transducers driven by powerful neodymium magnets to produce a full, rich frequency response that extends from the lowest bass to the highest highs. The On Stage II also employs computer-optimized equalization to provide a rich, complete sound stage, along with optimized compression topology to ensure clean, accurate sound at high output levels. Other details include a lightweight frame that's easy to transport, an auxiliary audio input cable, and surface-gripping rubber feet that provide a stable platform on most surfaces.
The On Stage II measures 7 inches in diameter and 2 inches tall and is backed by a one-year warranty.

Works perfectly from the start to now and into the future.......2007-12-09
Hello,
I have currently owned this product for about a year now since I got it from the store so I wouldn't go to sleep with a pair of headphones on.
Set up took about 5 min, and was easy. I read the directions for about another 5 minutes and got the gist of it. The bass is reasonable and sound quality sounds better the more you increase the volume. It is compatible with all kinds of ipods so far. The volume can go very high, so I rarely put it up there. It charges everything as long as you plug it in, so I don't have to connect it to the computer.
It seems very durable, and is small enough to carry it around comfortably. It has a pretty good design of a doughnut.
I was surprised at its smallness at first, but quickly got used to it.
Follow the directions, and you should be fine.
Highly recommended.
Note: Only for home use or a place with an outlet.
At first yes, but then not so much.......2007-12-02
I have had this speaker system for about a year and it worked very well at first. Then when I tried to put a different kind of iPod in it, it skrewed up and ended up freezing the iPod. The sound wouldn't work and if it did, it would have a clicking noise in the background. I put my old one in there and it skrewed that one up also. I ended up having to get a new iPod. If you are looking for a one iPod speaker for not very long, then it is alright, but not many people are.
Small, pretty and great sound.......2007-11-29
I wanted something to be able to play my IPOD while I work in the kitchen, without a mess of speakers and wires. This is compact with tremendous sound, no set-up involved at all... just plug it in, insert IPOD, enjoy.
Great product!
Good Sound, Good Price.......2007-11-05
This speaker/docking arrangement is great. I have 3 of them placed around my home. The sound is good, the volume goes loud enough for daily use. I have used mine daily for about 13 months without any problem of any kind. If you already have a main stereo system I would suggest the Kensington dock that will play your iPod right through you system. Otherwise get this JBL. I also use my JBL when I go a friend's home who doesn't have an iPod.
Great Sound and Wonderfully Compact.......2007-10-26
I bought the JBL On Stage II speaker just yesterday and tried it out last night. I am highly impressed with the sound quality. It is a small speaker that gives off comparable quality to that of a Bose speaker. Of course it isn't a Bose but JBL made a fantastic speaker at more than half the price. This speaker is a Harmon product (an audio specialty company) so it's good quality and delivers an impressive sound. I'd buy it all over again!

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.

International travellers beware!.......2007-12-09
Great sound, but the product ships with a 120V power adapter. Totally useless for an international traveller. Since every other adapter I own is 100-240V, I plugged it in on a foreign trip and it burned out. Of course no mention of this limitation in the owners manual--you have to read the fine print on the back of the adapter. Come on, JBL, wake up! Let's see if Amazon will replace it.
Makes a great gift.......2007-12-02
I bought this as a gift and it was a hit. Works so well he plugs it into his tv and computer for movies. Sounds great and can get really LOUD!
Nice Sound, Poorly constructed........2007-11-29
I have been through two of these speaker docks so far, and both have had something break. The first dock's remote control stopped working within 2 weeks of me buying it. I exchanged it for another one at the Apple Store, and it worked fine for 4 months. Then the dock stopped working properly, meaning when I attempted to use either of my iPods on the dock, the sound would be fuzzy unless the iPod was held in a certain position. Disappointing.
Excelente Accesorio para el Ipod.......2007-11-22
Muy buenas las cornetas para el Ipod, soporta todos los modelos de Ipod con una base intercambiable para cada uno, los botones para subir y bajar volumen son sensibles al tacto, y ademas el control remoto es muy util por si queires cambiar la cancion y no te quieres mover de tu puesto.
Aparte tiene una entrada de audio tipo audifono para conectar por ejemplo la salida de audio del computador o de otro MP3 portable.
works well.......2007-09-03
This is not to be your main speaker. It is small and the sound is a bit screechy. But for small tasks -- like background music for falling asleep or having a cozy dinner -- it will do well. Main problem is the bass. Cannot possibly deliver good bass. But it is a very good system if your expectation matches its size.

Great Sound. Tops most other external systems.......2007-12-25
We use this unit primarily in the kitchen. It has exceeded my expectations for sound quality. Directly above this unit we had previously installed a Sony under the counter radio/CD player. As I moved more into MP3 and iTunes, I was worried that I would need to play my original CD in under the counter CD player to get good sound. Not so. Right out of the box, this thing is just as good or better than the Sony under the counter unit.
This unit also blows away most tin sounding clock radios (that now accept ipods)that you see for sale in most department stores for $99 or so.
We also received a small external 2 speaker unit as a holiday gift, which sounds awful. I continually come back to this JBL unit, which is very compact on the counter top.
Some small caveats:
I did notice after a year that the battery in the remote control did die, which we didn't use all that much anyway.
When initially docking your iPod, be careful to adjust the sound properly. Sometimes, you can blast yourself too loud, if the volume is too loud. (the volume buttons are touch sensitive, and don't correspond to the volume indicated on your ipod screen. (as with most external players)
There is no external audio port for headphones, so don't think you can take this to work, and listen with your head phones.
Also, I noticed another review mentioning the Power adapter. It is a definite negative, since it is a BRICK. Don't think about plugging this next to anything else, in a 4 outlet wall. It simply won't fit.
All in all for price, and sound quality, and consistent great sound quality over all of the other mass produced units. This is the biggest bang for your buck.
Not bad, for its size........2007-12-21
This is a good product if you're planning on using it in a small room and you're not too picky about the quality of the bass. I have to admit that I was a bit disappointed that the bass wasn't fuller than it is. Then again, when you consider the small size of the unit, perhaps the bass isn't all that bad for such a small device.
Good Merchant.......2007-11-26
The item was shipped quickly and arrived in a pristine condition.I Would do business with this merchant again.
Excellent sound for the size........2007-11-24
I prefer this iPod external speaker unit to the others. The sound is stronger. I wish a similar one could be made that would operate on batteries rather than having to plug it into the wall receptacle.
Went over great!.......2007-11-02
I bought this for my niece and she LOVED it. It was very easy to set up and works great right out of the box.

Excellent Product!!!.......2007-12-11
Quality sound, portable, and rf control can manage the ipod menu! This is the add we were expecting from JBL.
Worth the money.......2007-12-01
I had a chance to try other docking stations, this is the one for me. Besides good quality sound, I like it's size. It's worth the money. I tryed the Bose, but found it too big. My JBL On Stage Micro is perfect for traveling.
Decent sound quality, USB connection woes.......2007-07-14
I bought this item because it serves three purposes:
- docking my iPod and syncing with iTunes
- charging the iPod
- speakers on the go
The latter two functions work fine. The sound quality is decent for the size of speaker that is in the casing and for general outdoors use it works fine. The remote is a nice feature for controlling the volume mostly.
The problem is with the USB connection. All the connectors (Audio in/out, power and USB) sit in rounded holes in the base of the unit and while the power and audio cables are provided with the unit, the USB mini cable for connecting it to your PC is not and it is extremely difficult to find a cable that fits into the base. That's because almost all USB mini cables default to a square rubber housing for the USB plug that doesn't fit into the round hole in the base of the unit.
I'm still looking for the right cable or eventually will have to take a Stanley knife to one of my existing cables to make it fit.

Compact Stereo with BIG SOUND.......2007-12-22
The Satechi Dock Station is small and compact with a FANTASTIC sound. Unbelieveably inexpensive, too. Sleek and classy looking.
Good catch!.......2007-11-23
I purchased Satechi Speaker two months ago. It had charging problems so I contacted the customer service. They sent me a new one right away. Actually, they redesigned the packaging and also changed the remote control. I can say this new speaker is just awesome. The sound quality is great if not perfect, there are no charging issues anymore and the remote control is much better than the old one. I strongly recommend this speaker; with the new design it puts Jbl to shame.
Great Customer service.......2007-10-27
I had a problem with the Satechi speakers for I pod, it was not charging after testing it several times, I wrote to the company and in a term of five days they sent me a new unit at no cost to me, no question ask.
I believe company like this is what we need in America, I thank Mr. Alan for his rapid answer to my needs, and I will recommend Satechi products to anyone with my eyes close.
Disappointed.......2007-09-09
I loved the size of it and it was easy to operate. The sound was good and what I expected from such a small device. I really liked it except for the fact that it didn't charge the iPod.
When I hooked it up, the iPod battery blinked (like it was charging) for the first 5 minutes, then it would stop. I left it docked for over 10hrs and still it didn't charge.
Satechi replaced it for me and the 2nd one they sent had the same issue. I sent it back and they refunded my money.
