No did you pair the speaker with your phone? I believe you put the speaker in pairing mode by holding down the power button. Check the manual. Be careful with the charging port when you charge it. After about a month mine came lose. It's lightly soldered.

I have the Ipod Touch 5th Gen. and the wireless radius for the Bluetooth is about 25'. You must remember not to have anything plugged into the head phone jack for the Bluetooth to work properly.Also, you might want to check your vol. control for both the speaker and the Ipod.

Looks like the classic don't have bluetooth. So you will need an adapter or another device. I use my phone for music. Only about 70 gb of storage on my phone but that's enough for me. Good luck

I am having the same problem with the Itouch. My friend has the exact same set up and we tried her adapter and it worked. I wonder if there is something wrong with our adapters? Any thoughts?

I don't much about technology, but I asked my husband to double check on the box and it didn't say anything about Bluetooth. One thing I know, I have an old Ipod and it's not compatible with this player. I still keep it, because I had purchased two other brands and they failed within 6 months. I have an old SONY 6-cd portable cd players for over 10 years and it's still playing well. I have to use the adopter to get my old ipod to work it. I trust SONY brand and price is right.

Agree with Patrick. I use my simplyvibe to play music or video from my iphone. I simply connect to the speaker via bluetooth, and then stream music all day. It doesn't matter if you play music from your phone, ipad, ipod, (itunes) or any other device. I also, through bluetooth connectivity, play music from Pandora and Slacker. All said, this is a fantastic speaker for desktop use at home or office. It has great sound from such a small device. The battery last for quite a long time as well. I hope this helps you. I am getting ready to purchase a second speaker for my girlfriend to use at her office. Agree with Patrick. I use my simplyvibe to play music or video from my iphone.

It's ridiculous that the beatbox has been outthis long and there has been no mention of thewireless module. I even tried emailing monster, no answer.Yet the new beatbox portable has built in Bluetooth.

The "Wireless Boombox" has bluetooth capability but the one with the iPod docking station does not have bluetooth capability.

Your first Gen iPod isn't Bluetooth capable. You can buy a converter that connects to it that makes it bluetooth, but that drains the battery and is clumsily attached to the iPod.

I had to press the power button six times and then I was able to connect it to my Bluetooth on both of my iPhones. I just had to wait for it to say waiting on connection then go into my settings and click on the cube and it connected. I had to do it with both my iPhones. I now have no issues when I turn the speaker on then my Bluetooth on. I hope this helps!!!

It really depends on the version/generation iPod Nano that you have. If the version of your Nano supports Bluetooth, it will work with our speaker wirelessly. If it doesn't, you can use our included 3.5 mm aux cable to listen to your music. I believe it was the 7th generation of the Nano that Apple added Bluetooth support- so anything after that should work. If you are unsure, check the specs on your iPod to check for Bluetooth support. But again, you can still user the speaker by using our included cable either way.

I use mine with the iPod nano 7th generation and they paired seamlessly. Just turn on the bluetooth in the iPod settings and then hold down the power button, on the headset, for about 6 seconds. You should see alternating green and red lights. Thats it.

Depends on if you want a wireless connection you device needs to be Bluetooth enabled. I don't think the original IPods had Bluetooth. That said, you can connect the original IPod to the jambox with a cord and it will work fine

Sounds like a connection problem if it works some times and not others. I only have a iPod CLASSIC and have never had any problems. Maybe a visit to the Apple Store. Sorry not much help. Regards,Barry

No, this one is not Bluetooth. I am guessing they mean wireless in the sense that the connector is part of the unit, it is essentially a dock for a 30pin apple device (watch the pricing, it fluctuates. I got this unit in August of last year for 49.00) . There is a bluetooth version ION Jukebox Bluetooth Retro Wireless Speaker with Integrated USB ChargerGood luck!

Because later model iPods/iPhones and iOS versions have shown compatibility problems. I connect mine via aux input to airport streaming audio from iTunes/computer. If you want to play audio directly from dock, you may have problems

Ok, so I took the time to talk to Sony (2 hours on the phone) and Apple (1 hour on the phone) about this. Sony tell me that the iPod classic has the same specifications for the connection port as the iPod 5th gen Video. So, they believe that the problem is in the iPod classic's firmware. They did say that they were going to get their engineer's to look at connecting a classic up to see why it is not working. So, the Apple story. Apple looked at this and said that the classic's video out was slightly different than the 5th gen. But, after looking at it a little more closely, and looking at some of the products that Apple sell for similar functionality (video out to TV/Receiver), they then started to feel that there may be an issue with the hardware/firmware. They also indicated that they had received reports of the classic working with similar products, and then failing to work after a recent firmware upgrade. Apple also indicated that they would contact their engineers regarding the connection to the Sony Digital Media port, and give reasons as to why it is not working, and whether there is some way to make it work. I should hear back within the next few days (given that tomorrow is friday, it may be early next week). Hopefully this matter will be resolved by a firmware update. What was really dissapointing was I plugged in my friends 5th gen, and it worked a charm. So it can work...

I newer didn't have Ipod and I'm not sure that iPod has Bluetooth connection at all. Regarding other devices which haves Bluetooth connection, put your device in pairing mode, then press Pairing button on the top of right earphone for 3 seconds. It will start blinking blue light fast. At that time on your device find DRBT101 headphones and press "Pair". After pairing is completed blue LED will blink slowly (once in 5 seconds). That is all.

Wish I could help you. I bought the Bluetooth receiver to dock with my Sony mini hi-fi component system (MHC-EC609iP) product doesn't work with this system. It powers up and let's me connect via Bluetooth but the Sony keeps requesting that I dock my iPod touch, of course that can't happen, the Bluetooth receiver is docked there. Dumb stereo design by Sony? I plan to bring both my iPod & BT receiver with me when I shop for a different stereo so that way I can make sure it works. Hope this is helpful to anyone out there.
