3 out of 5 stars functional but somewhat disappointing.......2006-01-30

This product was a decent price, but it has some drawbacks. For instance, the glove covers part of the main viewing screen and the click wheel and has to be re-adjusted. The hold button is inaccessible, but I don't think this is a major drawback, unless, like me, you are obsessive-compulsive and want to be 100% sure the product will shut off when you are finished using it.

I have had no problems with my iPod slipping from its case; it seems to stay in its place even in my jeans pocket. There have also been numerous times when I've dropped my iPod, and it wasn't damaged. The overall design of the glove is nice, but I noticed that it is hard to clean, and there were some minor scratches on my iPod when I removed it from the case. However, they were very small and hardly noticeable, and no worse than any other case is expected to be.

Overall, the product is decent. I wish the screens would be cut to fit the product better, and it would be nice if the product was reversible in order to be cleaned.

3 out of 5 stars disappointing though good price .......2005-12-30

The ridged colored trim around the control wheel is kind of high and you need to be careful to get to the wheel and controls on it. Also, Nano tends to slide out from bottom (I carried it in my pants pocket and it had come out about a 1/2 inch or so when I took it out--it'd be better if bottom had an elastic to cinch it. Also, you don't have access to the hold button, though that doesn't seem like a big deal since it won't get jostled anyway, being covered by thick neoprene.

Overall, it's functional but I wouldn't buy it again; I'd buy something similar with a thicker silicon, probably.

2 out of 5 stars Nice sound, but MANY fatal flaws.......2007-11-12

Here's the good news: The sound quality is nice. The frequency response seems very detailed, and these diminutive speakers pack more bass than looks would suggest. No complaints about the sound quality.

Here's the bad news: These speakers have MANY very serious flaws that make them unusable.

1) The speakers have a timeout mechanism - they go into a standby mode if the sound stops transmitting. That's fine, but the standby mode mechanism is very overeager: the speakers often enter standby if the music volume stops, or even if the volume just gets a little too quiet, for a short period of time - even as little as 5 seconds. So the speakers can go into standby even during a quiet section of otherwise loud music, and the wakeup process is not trivial: it may take 10 seconds or more to reacquire the signal once the music kicks in again. Worse, this quirk is hard-coded and not adjustable; you can't disable or adjust the standby mechanism.

In short, these $200+ speakers have a tendency to cut out the music for 25 seconds or more when it dips too low. That is a fatal flaw. And it's not the only one:

2) These speakers will SHUT DOWN your Wi-Fi network. I have a very recent 802.11g router (a Motorola SBG900), and when there's music streaming to the speakers, my bandwidth drops from a steady 200kbps to about 5kbps. Seriously. If I unplug the transmitters (which are 10' away from both the router and the receiving computer), my bandwidth comes to life; if I plug 'em in again, my bandwidth vanishes immediately. It's terrible.

3) JBL made some very strange choices with regard to the cabling. The cable from the right speaker to the left is about 25 feet long - a bizarrely long connection for such small speakers - and unless you want to splice it, you're going to have a rat's-nest tangle of excess cable hanging somewhere between or behind the speakers. Meanwhile, the power cable is only about 18" between the active speaker and the power brick; and the power cable coming out of the brick is only about 3' long. As a result, if you mount the speakers 6' high, you'll have a massive black brick with a glowing green LED dangling at about 3', and probably a hookup to a longer power cable about 1' off the floor. It's quite sad; JBL must not have tried to actually mount these speakers before they shipped 'em out.

4) Speaking of mounting: The speakers come with wall mounting brackets that look sturdy at first glance. However, the speakers are very boxy - about 5" deep - so they'll project noticeably from the wall. Much worse, the mounting bracket is very poorly designed. For example, the speakers mount on a ball-and-socket bolt that's *way* too long - you'll see an extra 1.5" inches of bolt projecting from the wall mounting, for no particular reason. (In fact, JBL doesn't seem to trust the integrity of the bracket; they include a camera-strap-like thing for fastening the speaker to the bracket, in case it fails. Creepy.)

5) Want to buy extra speakers and dial 'em in to the same channel? Of course you do; it's wireless, right? Well, not so fast. First, JBL won't sell you *just* the speakers, so you have to buy a whole 'nother set - including a second transmitter - at full price. Second, the wireless setup has a hard limit of two speaker sets per transmitter channel. I own three sets of these speakers, and only two connect to the transmitter at any one time. I don't know why; it's completely capricious, and it severely limits the extensibility of the system.

It's really tragic that JBL made such terrible ancillary choices, because the prime virtue of these speakers - the sound quality - is very nice. But the convenience and sound quality aren't worth the hassles... particularly at such a high price point.

Bottom line: Avoid. Avoid at all costs. These things are FATALLY flawed. JBL needs to recall them and fix them... and if they don't, I'm certainly never buying their equipment again.

4 out of 5 stars Wireless can be done with only minimal cost........2007-10-11

These speakers are on the top of the 'not bad' scale. Considering the convience of the wireless system the downsides may easily be overlooked. Sound quality: Very Good. Wireless signal: Fair. If you have thick walls in your house - or want to use them outside without a clear view of the transmitter - you will be dissapointed. I have found that the speakers work much better with a clear view of the transmitter and must be no more than 5 meters away (for the old folks still using the english system about 15 ft). Overall I'm happy with the - beats stringing wires around the house.
