Altec Lansing inMotion IM7 Portable Speaker System

Sending mine back

Strengths: Compact, portable, etc. etc. Good bass, especially at higher volumes.

Weakness: Sound fidelity not good at lower volumes. No display of bass and treble settings.

The other reviewer is right: the machine fills a room with sound. At high volumes, it's impressive. But if you want a more intimate listening experience at low volume, the sound is fuzzy and muffled. Strings sound thin. I compared the sound to a friend playing mp3s from his computer through good speakers, and the difference was dramatic. Also, the remote control allows adjustment of bass and...

Altec Lansing InMotion IM7 - It Rocks!

Strengths: Kickin Bass, Crisp Highs, Cool Futuristic Look, Cradle totally protects the Ipod, Completely Portable (unlike the Bose). The IM7 Sounds awesome with any kind of music.

Weakness: The carrying handle is a little funky where its placed. No big deal though, it still is functional.

I looked at the Bose SoundDock and the JBL OnStage before buying the IM7. Everyone was raving about the Bose but I did a side by side sound test with both units at the Apple store and the IM7 had a bit more bass and the staging with the mids and highs sounded just as good as the Bose SoundDock. Factor in the price ($50 less than the Bose) and the portability element and the Altec IM7 has the Bose...

Strengths: Apprearence, ease of use, sound quality.

Weakness: none

Produces great sounds at all ranges. Subwoofer works to perfection given the size and price. Best value for the money. Even compared to Bose iPod, Altec Lansing beats it. I shopped this and compared sounds with all comparable products. This was the best.

Altec Lansing im7 speaker for iPod

Strengths: Portable, adapts to any iPod that has a dock conector, looks unique, doubles as a speaker for satellite radio, sounds great, charges iPod, wireless remote and accessories included.

Weakness: Rather heavy, expensive, akward button controls, and fragile iPod cradle locking mechanism with too strong of spring.

First thing I noticed was that I had difficulty with the button controls on both the unit and the remote. Seems they have a sweet spot that you must press in order for them to work. Sound and cosmetically the system is great. After a while, due to a stiff spring and too weak of a plastic latching mechanism, the iPod cradle failed to stay shut. Customer service is aware of this defect and is...

Altec Lansing IM7

Strengths: Outstanding Sound, easily fills a room with music. Charges your IPOD

Weakness: Remote is flimsy

I bounced back and forth between this and the Bose sound dock and had to choose the IM7. The sound is amazing! I can tote it from room to room easily and it will run on batteries as well. The other selling point is that they make a carrying case which means this puppy will be coming on the boat next season.

Altec Lansing inMotion Portable Speaker System for...

Strengths: Excellend sound and Cool design.

Weakness: A little bit heavy to carry around.

With the cradle that let this speaker can be used with any type of iPods, deep bass, remote control (volume, bass, and treble), vdo output, ipod recharges during playing the musics, 110-220V universal power adapter, this IM7 is highly recommened for anyone who is looking for a good iPod speaker system. Since I have used this speaker for a week, I am very pleased with it.

im7

Strengths: great sounding system

Weakness: ipod holder could be built better

i would reccommend to friends. looks nice and the sound is incredible. sounds as good as the bose system but a lot cheaper and you get more for your money.ipod holder lock should be built better.

Outstanding Sound

Strengths: Easy to set up and use within minutes. Remote control offers functionality without having to go to the actual unit.

Weakness: Not able to see a value for the bass and treble settings. Unit does not support a shuffle.

This unit is a great value for the money. It has exceeded my expectations and sounds great. I am very pleased with the sound the the volume. The cable to attach to an external unit is also a plus. After comparing the various units available I firmly believe this is the best one on the market for the money. A must buy.

Altec Lansing IM7 Speaker

Strengths: Deep powerful bass, clear highs, plenty of volume, portable.

Weakness: Weak remote control, no bass/treble controls on the main unit (remote-only).

This is a fantastic sounding speaker setup in a rather modestly sized package. The sound is clear and crisp with deep bass and crystal clear highs. It has plenty of room-filling volume, too. It's also easy to carry from room to room or take outside on the patio. The remote is weak, with only a 10-15 foot range. I solved this problem by programming my TV remote to operate the various functions. I...
