1 out of 5 stars FM Transmitter.......2007-12-26

This is not the greatest product. It's necessary to have the zune plugged into your car whenever you want to listen to it and you can't move it around in the car, it's stationary. Spend the extra money and get the zune car pack.

1 out of 5 stars Not able to rate less than "1".......2007-12-26

This is by far the worst fm transmitter I've ever used. The charger works great though. It's quite nice to look at too. The transmitter is way to weak. You can block the signal with your hand. I'm using a cheap $10 transmitter that kicks this ones but till i can get a better one. Try to avoid this one if you can.

3 out of 5 stars looks good sounds bad.......2007-12-15

like everyone else my car dock sounds pretty bad on all stations in a ford ranger. I noticed though that in my other truck (dodge ram) the noise goes away on all stations if I turn on my cd changer which is also transmitted to my car stereo through an FM station. SO . . . I need to find another FM device to play my zune through with the dock and maybe that will clear it up.

1 out of 5 stars Absolute rip off and waste of money!.......2007-11-23

This transmitter/base is and absolute piece of useless junk. I should have read the reviews before this purchase. Don't make the same error.

-1 stars would be a better rating.

2 out of 5 stars Crappy transmitter, Good charger / holder.......2007-11-19

As an FM transmitter, this unit is sorely underpowered and can barely compete with stations that normally receive nothing more than static. Unfortunately, this is the ONLY factor upon which the total performance of this product hinges, so that's quite bad.

On the upside however it's a fantastic holder for your Zune, and is a good car charger to boot (the only reason it gets a second star). Underneath, there is a line out jack as well, which means (although though I haven't tried it) you should be able to leave this unit in your car, plugged into the line in jack on your stereo, and never have to worry about hooking up every time you get in your car. Just slap in your Zune and go!

In conclusion, given the fact that it's a pretty useless transmitter, even the good points made above still don't justify the $50 pricetag.

        JA Audio 3.5" Mini Cube Speakers - Black (Pair)

        Product Description

        These cube speakers are small and flexible enough to be discretely placed in any home theater set up, but has the power to produce full lifelike sound in 5.1-channel surround sound. The unique swivel design lets you create as large a soundstage as you need. This is because you are able to reflect sound off your room's walls, as well as project it directly into the room. This immerses you in a surround sound experience which doesn't limit you to just one "sweet spot". Much like a movie theater, your entire room will have the full, detailed, lifelike sound you demand. The speakers also feature magnetic shielding to eliminate vibration and interference to other components. The speakers come with two black mounting brackets that match the color of the speakers. The brackets twist securely into the bottom the the speakers. Because of the bracket's design, you can then choose to either screw them into the ceiling or use them as adjustable stands on your desk or bookshelf. The brackets also pivot at the middle to adjust the height of the speakers, whether you decide them to be on your desk or screwed in your wall.

        5 out of 5 stars Amazing Little Speakers!.......2007-05-29

        I recently upgraded to a new A/V receiver in the living room. The old one (Onkyo TXDS484) is a great receiver and still worked fine so I decided to move it upstairs into the master bedroom, but I didn't have speakers to go with it. I'm not an audiophile and this was my "secondary" system so I wasn't looking for anything fancy. I just wanted to watch movies and listen to music. It was also important to me that I get something small and discrete since these would go in the bedroom. The JA Audio 3.5" mini cubes seemed perfect. And they were. These little speakers are amazing! I was very surprised how crisp and full the speakers were considering their size. They worked perfectly with my receiver and I got everything set up in no time. The swivel feature is also pretty neat since I could direct the sound wherever I needed. The speakers came with some nice matching mounting brackets too which I didn't use, but they could come in handy in the future. The only negative I can really think of is they don't handle low frequencies very well. I suggest a bass unit to go with these to get the full effects of surround sound. Other than that, I am very happy with these and I would highly recommend these speakers to anybody thinking about starting a surround sound home theater set up.

        PRO:
        -Amazing sound
        -Small and discrete
        -Swivel feature

        CON:
        - Need additional subwoofer unit

        5 out of 5 stars Surprising Performance, Great Value.......2006-09-14

        Having just moved into a new house, my home theatre was given the approval to be slightly updated. I had the rear speakers pre-wired, but my existing bookshelf speakers were just too big to mount. My hunt began for a small, low-priced, wall-mountable rear speaker for a 5.1 system. None of my local stores offered such a product or had 1 model available at double what I wanted to spend. Enter JA Audio. First of all, I've never heard of them, but figured it's a low watt rear speaker - it's only going to be used for filler and background sounds. Even if they're not the greatest, they'll do the job. And the price was right, so I ordered and within a week I had my new 3.5" cube speakers in hand, ready to rock. Aside from the price, the size and look of the speakers are what drew me in. The fact that the cubes swivel was a bonus. The room that I have my system set up in is relatively small (200 ft/sq) but it opens into another room. My front, center, and sub can fill the house nicely, but I needed a rear channel that could make everything complete. Because I can adjust the direction of each cube, I'm able to use my walls for reflection while at the same time, directing them into the "dead zones" in my room. The mounting brackets are good too (take note - wall anchors and screws are not included). Speakers can be wall or ceiling mounted, and since the mounting arms are in separate pieces, you can adjust the depth at which they're mounted (this can effect your sound!!!). So, how do they sound? They sound great! I ran tests with different movies, TV shows, and a few sporting events to get the crowd noise in the background. After some volume adjustments on my amp and slight adjustments to the direction that the speakers were firing, everything was perfect. The rear sounds even filtered into the adjoining room nicely. Music is equally as good. I played several styles of music in the different preset modes that my amp offers and they did the trick. I am very happy with how these little guys are performing, and they look great mounted on the walls. I've owned several brands of speakers - Bose, Boston Acoustics, Yamaha, Marantz, JBL - and I would put these up there with them. And you can't beat the price. If you're looking for a solid performer to compliment your home theatre at a reasonable cost, these are definitely worth a look.
