Altec Lansing inMotion Portable Audio System for iPod (White) |
Rating: 5 (out of 5)
Summary: Fabulous iPOD Speakers
Comments: I am a music teacher who travels between locations and classrooms5days a week. My iPOD is my 'life'!! Finding a speaker system that can deliver sound to a large room filled with 20+ preschool children, that can fit into my purse, and that is light-weight, seemed like the impossible dream. UNTIL I found the "In Motion" speakers. I am on my second unit -- the 1st was kicked around a few too many times by dancing children and the iPOD dock became bent. My husband inherited that unit and uses it with a cable connection to the iPOD headphones port. The unit still performs wonderfully.
For best results without power cord, use lithium batteries!! I have endorseed this speaker to several other 'traveling' Educators and all love the set. (Maybe I should ask for a commission???)

Summary: I have had these for at least 4 years...
Comments: After at least4years of having these speakers, I give them high praise.
I travel frequently. For durability and battery usage, I took away a star.
Eventually and recently the plastic/metal casing fell apart at the folding arm hinges. In spite of this, the speakers still play and I still use them.
The sound is decent for what it is...Actually, it's better than expected. It travels well ...if carefully handled. Although not widely noted, I found that it charges the iPhone as well. |

Summary: I love this thing
Comments: I have had1of these for over a year now. It is, in a word, awesome.
Not much too add to other, more complete reviews, except that:
1) It's tough. I take it whenever I travel.
2) The iPhone works with it as well, though a small complain screen pops up. Other charging stands that I have tried do not. |

Summary: A great system for the price!!
Comments: I got these speakers back in December of 2004 w/ my 1st iPod. I still have them, and they work as well as they did day 1.
I have compared this speaker set side-by-side to a Bose SoundDock. Here are the differences:
- Bose has a better volume range. The AL tends to get distorted at higher volumes (if I had to break the volume up into a 1-10 selection, I'd say distortion is noticed around an 8). The Bose stays clear and crisp throughout its range.
- The Bose does have a 'richer' sound while playing some music, which does make the music seem like its better. However, a substitute for the AL is to turn the EQ on your iPod to 'small speakers'...this assists in clarity and overall sound quality, matching the Bose.
The AL is a great speaker for the price. At 1/4 the price of the Bose, I'd go for this any day, as 75% of the $400 you pay for the Bose is just for the name. Bose does make a great product, true. however, do not fall for the marketing ploys they typically adopt. |

Summary: Quit after less than a month
Comments: Seems like QC is a lost art these days. Although we purchased the AL iPod system for its compact design and sound quality, our pleasure was short lived. The thing just stopped working after just a few plays. The light comes on, however no sound comes out. AVOID!! AVOID!! there is no excuse for new things not working. |
