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.

It works but needs design improvement.......2007-10-16
I really miss the iJet remote on my old ipod, it is much nicer but is not compatible with my new 5G video ipod. My ipod mostly lives on a shelf feeding my stereo though I'll occasionally use it in the car on long trips. This was the only compatible remote I found that had a small wireless transmitter.
The transmitter buttons are very flush and it's easy to hit the wrong one. No way to easily put it on a keychain. The assorted faceplates are pretty pointless though I did stick the black one on there to make cleaning any dirt from my hands easier over time. Note that this does NOT come with batteries; you'll need to go buy a coin type CR-2032 which is easily available. -1 star for transmitter.
The receiver unit sticks out like a sore thumb from the bottom of the ipod, especially if you have a power cable plugged in. It can be hard to keep seated if the ipod is in a case since it doesn't click in like the cables do. Might be a problem for joggers or those moving it around a lot for whatever reason. I really like the pass through feature, but that doesn't work so well if the entire thing loosens up. Once seated, it's worked well with anything else I plug in, such as power charger or FM transmitter. There is a jack in the receiver for listening, and the transmitter volume controls only work if you use this jack instead of the ipod's jack. But since it loosens so easily, I prefer the one at the top of the ipod and just forego using the remote volume controls. -1 star for the receiver.
This also comes with an armband that I don't think I'll ever have use for. There is also a plastic box to make it bigger in your hand if you want (I don't), and the neck string is hidden in a compartment in the back of of this box.
Not as nice as the iJet, but for my uses it's defintely better than nothing!

Great Speakers __ Great System - Great Sound - However, Infared Remote Does Not Have Full Functionality.......2007-08-09
I love this little mini-system. It keeps my IPod Nano charged at all times and the speakers sound very clean.
The one regret I have with this product is the infrared remote. The infrared remote has 16 keys ¡V 8 of the keys you cannot use with the Nano.
The buttons you can use with the Nano are any button that does not require an infrared connection with the actual IPod itself. I am not sure if these buttons work with the full size IPod. I have to assume the regular IPod does work as I pulled this info off the Apple website -³>>>>
¡§Some iPod accessories won't work with iPod nano because iPod nano does not have a remote port, it won't work with any accessory that requires it, such as Apple iPod Remote¡¨

Great for yoga studios!.......2007-05-06
I am pleasantly surprised with the quality of these speakers! I got them so I could use my iPod when I teach yoga classes, and it works beautifully. The sound carries clearly to the back of the room, and I love being able to control the volume with the remote from wherever I am. I have a Nano, and it fits very securely on the docking station.
Pleasantly Surprised.......2007-03-13
I bought this iPod dock/speaker set for my husband and it works great. I was actually surprised by the quality. Although it's not perfect "Bose" home stereo quality, it sounds great for the size of the speakers. Be aware, however, that the plug is a bit large so make sure the intended outlet has enough space around it. (2"x3" vertical plug). Two Thumbs Up.
Works well.......2007-02-09
I love this little iPod system. I teach private music classes and wanted to use my iPod. This system is easy to assemble and works wondefully with the iPod. Good volume in the classroom and the remote control makes moving from one item to the next easy.
