iPod Portable Stereo Review – Altec Lansing inMotion-600

June 25, 2009 | Filed Under Reviews   322 views



Altec Lansing inMotion iM600 USB-Charging Portable Speaker System with FM Receiver for iPod (Black)

If you have always eyed the Bose SoundDock, but balked at it’s $400 price tag, then stop reading reviews and buy this iPod player! At a quarter of the price, you’ll have enough money left over to buy an iPhone!

I bought this iPod player on a whim after briefly skimming reviews. Honestly, it was a bit of an impulse purchase; but I got really really lucky. We love this thing! We move it around the house with us as we move from room to room, and I’ve taken it outdoors as I was painting our house, and watching a marathon. This is a great little stereo with very high quality sound. It sounds great at both high levels and at quiet levels, which is important to us because we have small children. One thing that I’ve had to deal with in the past is stereos that just don’t work at quiet levels, but this one sounds crystal clear at very quiet levels. A big plus.

The battery life just goes on and on, and the added features like the remote control (that stows on the back) and FM receiver make this one a no-brainer.

With its well-regarded inMotion system, Altec Lansing has raised the bar again with the iM600USB, offering full play and chargeability for all iPod models with a 30-pin connector. Featuring a myriad of exciting technologies, the iM600USB offers big, crystal-clear sound, and it folds up compactly for easy portability. (more…)

    Great sound, great portability, great price – IPod speakers
    I recently purchased an IPod Classic & wanted speakers to use in our gazebo, basment, and throughout our house. Altec is PERFECT.

    I bought the im600 for use in my office and overall I’m pleased with my purchase.

    great way to stay close to your music
    My Altec Lansing inMotion iM600 is great! I can listen to my ipod in any room with no cables. It’s small, easily portable and sleek. I’d buy it again with no reservations.

    Good sound but stopped recharging
    Sound was great but after a year or so it would not recharge itself when plugged in.

    Great sound for the price!
    I did a lot of research before buying this unit. I was looking for a portable sound system with good sound under 150 bucks.

    Pretty Awesome
    I bought this speaker system along with an ipod to use in lieu of a DJ at my daughter’s 1st birthday party. It was perfect. This thing is LOUD!

    Great sound, outdated packaging, rising price
    This is the second im600 I buy, and it’s a great device. However, I was initially disappointed that the package said im600 Classic, and not USB.

    Great Sounds but Poor Longevity
    I purchased two of these over the past 3 years. Both lasted just over a year and stopped working…just after the warrenty expiration.

    Great sound from a small package
    The iM600 has great clear sound. It’s wonderfully portable and is sold at a reasonable price.
