Customer Reviews

MiniBlaster Magic
I love the JLab MiniBlaster because no matter where I go I can have my favorite music with me. The sound is clear, and I found this product easy to use. I will be giving several of these as holiday gifts and birthday presents to friends and relatives, young and old. The delivery was prompt, and I appreciated the friendly customer service in response to my questions.

Just what I was hoping for
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!

very dissappointing
I was excited about this product from reading previous reviews. However, I did not find the product satisfactory. First off - it's very difficult to place the Ipod into the device. It requires the Ipod be placed in a rubberized sleeve and forced into a narrow slot. It is very difficult to properly connect it or remove it when done. The sound quality was much less than expected - it was distorted and grainy at higher volumes. The price is great - which is what attracted me. But if you want any quality at all you're going to have to pay more.
