Reviews for Altec Lansing inMotion iM600 Portable Audio Speaker System

Good Sound Came In Small Package

Strengths: - Strong Clear Sound (Bass & Treble) - Luxury Piano Deep Stylist Black - Rechargeable Battery Playing More Than 6 Hours - Functionalities of A Traditional Boombox Plus

Weakness: - No Carrying Pouch to protect - Function Like Clock & Alarm Depend of Your IPod Equipped or Not

After considering between highend Ipod dock plus speakers like BOSE, JBL, KLIPSCH...I decided to go for InMotion due to its look & funtionalities. No disappointment so far. The portability is best for moving around the house, front yard, back yard, office,...Radio & Ipod function are two most important source of music and it got them all, plus external input for any other devices if you choose to. Option to add more bass with the same brand subwoofer, multiple adapters for different ipods, usb to connect to pc, radio, alarm,...are all made up my decision to buy it. Recommend for those who already invest in expensive ipod!! WHY NOT SATISFIED FOR LESS...

Great system in a small package.

Strengths: Portable and versatile. Folds flat for easy traveling. OK on sound.

Weakness: Does not have a carrying case. Does not have a clock or alarm. Need to purchase additional satellite speakers for bigger sound.

In all this system is great. It is easy to carry around the house and the beach. I just love the black casing which makes it look sophisticated in my bathroom so that I can listen to my IPOD too. The buttons are very easy to use. I would highly recommend.

Excellent Product

Strengths: Great sound, excellent features, very portable, and nice size.

Weakness: The buttons on the remote are bubbles. They work fine but in the future they will probably break. Also, battery on the remote is a special kind so it will be more expensive to replace.

Overall, I think this is an excellent product. The sound is great and carries into the entire room. This is one of the few docks that has plenty of features. I love the video output feature and the radio in addition to the USB plug to allow me to plug into the computer while the iPod is still on the dock.

As mentioned above, the control is a bit flimsy but it works just fine.

Absolutely Amazing!

Strengths: -Great sound system -The bass is very nice feature -Has AM/FM radio -Includes remote control

Weakness: -Need to use the iPod for the alarm clock

The Altec Lansing IM600 outputs incredible sound system. I can listen clearly to the music over 30 feet. I wanted to get a sound system with am/fm radio. Did countless hours of research and for the price, this was the best choice.

im600 altec lansing ipod portable

Strengths: lots of features, compact design, remote, antenna for built in fm

Weakness: too expensive

lies flat with fold out shelf that has the controls, comes with a line in and s video connection. built in rechargeable battery (again is it proprietary I dont know at this time)charges ipod if plugged into wall but not if running on battery. well constructed. dont know much about output and frequency but it sounds rich to my untrained ear which ultimately is the question to ask.

Sound not the best

Strengths: Portability

Weakness: Sounded quite tinny. Not enough bass.

I very much liked its looks and portability but the overall sound was lacking bass. Must be something better out there. Beautiful rich black piano color and easy to setup.

Bad purchase

Strengths: Long battery life, compact, loud

Weakness: After one month the display broke, battery life decreased to about 2 hours, issues with the iPod dock

I purchased the IMG 600 for the beach and for the first month it worked really well. The battery lasted pretty much all day, it was loud enough for the beach, and it was easy to use. However, a month after purchasing it the digital display went haywire and the battery life essentially disappeared. When the display broke I decided not to return it since everything else worked but about a week later the battery life essentially disappeared. It would suddenly last for about two hours max and the iPod dock started acting up. I have now decided to return it and hopefully the next portable speaker system I purchase will last longer than a month.

Great sound - questionable quality

Strengths: Sound quality with deep bass; Portable size; Price - found for under $100; rechargeable battery Remote

Weakness: Quality issues; No AM radio; Nag screen appears on iPhones

I really like the sound quality of this unit especially for the size and the price. The rechargeable battery gets 6 hours per charge easily. The remote works well, but won't allow you advanced features such as changing menus. The USB version does charge an iPhone, but you still get a nag screen saying it isn't compatible with iPhones.

This would be a slam dunk if I weren't on my 3rd one. Altec Lansing doubled my warranty when I registered - good thing - my first one died after 6 months, refusing to play at times. The second one lasted about a year when it refused to play when plugged in, only playing from battery. Then it refused to play at all. Fortunately their customer service was pretty quick each time in sending me a new one.

Altec Lansing IM 600

Strengths: Very good sound for small speakers. Long battery life. very handy around house

Weakness: No handle to carry. No Case to put in.

Bought this for my wife and I use it with my Creative Zen.
Remote works up to about 15ft. Very happy with purchase especially since I was about to drop 300 on a Bose Soundock.

Altec Lansing iM600

There's no shortage of iPod docks on the market, but very few can go with you. Altec Lansing's iM600 features a rechargeable battery and several convenient features to make music available wherever you are. And while the sound isn't massively powerful, it's loud enough to keep people dancing.
