Bad reception - David J. Mildenberger, Nov 17, 2009

It looked good and was relatively easy to set up. How ever, it would not pickup reception when Imoved it to another room less than 25 feet away. It was only good for line of sight. It is not completely wireless because it has to be plugged into an outlet and does not have a battery. I'll keep lokking for something like the Bose but not ready to pay that price.

WOW! Outstanding!!! - Wendy Aft, Aug 29, 2009

I bought this online without hearing it first, and I really couldn't believe it when I tried it out. From tinny low volume on my laptop, I got incredible clarity of sound and volume to spare. You can't beat the price for the quality!

I've had it and loved it for almost a year! - Mike Dowling, Aug 07, 2009

I keep my laptop in my bedrrom and often fall asleep to talk or music. The Mint provides excellent sound and fits neatly on my nightstand. I control the volume from the laptop. The only downside is that the USB dongle is all but permanently attached to the side of the laptop. I haven't broken it yet, but I do worry about it. The pairing is easy and music sounds great. This was an excellent purchase.

Good hardware, software is suspect. - MSM, Jun 11, 2009

I'm relatively happy with this product as it relates to the sound and the ease of installing and using it. However, i keep getting an application error on my system that started minutes after i installed this item. it does not appear to affect the peformance of the speaker or system (so far), but the error pop up window does happen multiple times an hour, which is most annoying - it has been 3 days since we contacted their support department and still don't have a solution. Also, the remote battery was dead when it arrived - so add another $6.00 to the cost of this item.

Mint 130 does not work as well as it should. - B. Sharpe, Jun 01, 2009

The Bad:
1. Not made for iPhone (just other style i-Pods) - it will work, however you have to click the button in order not to keep airplane mode off.
2. Connection via USB laptop. While it works with low volume very well, if you raise the volume to a typical volume it sould like th e buffer can not keep up with the broadcast. This is the reason I will be returning the speaker. The quality is not listenable.
3. No controls or clock on the speaker. You have to control through the iPod, remote, or computer.

The Good:
1. Good sound when listening to the iPod actually connected, not via usb dongle.
2. charges the iPod
3. nice appearance

Great unit other than the real selling point. This one is being returned.
