Altec Lansing inMotion iPod Portable Audio System - IM600

Comments about Altec Lansing inMotion iPod Portable Audio System:

I have been enjoying my iM600 for nearly two years. It has been great for my intended use. I use it for FM and iPod listening both at home and in diverse work locations. Love the way if folds up flat for an easy fit into a brief case or back pack. Love the long battery playing time. Of course it doesn't have the base of a hight-end audio system. But the sound is very good and clear ... and it can easily fill conference rooms. Without hesitation, I can happily recommend it. I feel it is brilliantly designed and a great value.

Easy setup. Good sound . Don't think it's on par with a Bose unit but it's a fraction of the price. Would like to see a case included. Overall quite pleased.

This is a great value in an iPod accessory. No question that it does not quite have the overall sound quality of the larger and more expensive units, such as the $300 (overpriced) Bose system. But it has some advantages even over that system, particularly the fact that it will run on batteries for many hours. Highly portable. Does not have great bass, and you will have to set your iPod to bass enhancement in its internal equalization options (under the playback menu). This is a bit of a chore, if you have to switch back and forth between this system and one that does not require equalization (such as a good stereo system). However for the money this is clearly a great value. The remote control allows you to go forward and backwards within an iPod menu of songs. Their proprietary ESS signal processing algorithm (ostensibly to give enhanced stereo separation in a small speaker system) introduces some tonal abnormalities and for this reason I believe is useless. Highly Recommended Overall, despite its obvious low-end deficiencies and the ESS issue. However, one cannot expect great low end from such a small system.

The only problem with it is that it does not come with a case and does not protect well when traveling. To solve the problem, I bought a cover from bestbuy for a portable cd player. The speakers fit perfectly inside and now it is so easy to travel with and it always protected.

I use this at work and have had a lot of great comments from everyone about the sound. They compare it in looks and sound to the more expensive Bose system.

Very happy with the purchase!

It delivers crisp clear sound, at a respectable volume, but its portability falls a little short. You get the impression that the battery pac was an after thought.

I listen to books on tape/cd. I can easily attach my personal cd player or tape player to listen to books anywhere in the house. My laptop hooks up so I can livestream without having to download a podcast. I got it to play Xmas music in the dining room without having to add additional speakers. I'll be getting another for my husbands home office.

I am really impressed with the sound quality from such a small, attractive package. Easy to set up and operate and the ability to move wherever you need your music makes the iM600 a great choice.

Service and delivery comments:

I checked all over the web, and Abt had the best price. Their website showed it was in stock, so I called their Customer Service toll-free number to verify. The very helpful representative checked stock and said they could have it shipped the next day. I got an email verification that it had been ordered, then the UPS tracking number the next day with the expected delivery date. It arrived on the date they promised. I was really impressed with Abt's customer service.
