Great Sound, Great Product!, September 3, 2009
By Jeff Kraus (Orlando, FL USA)
I'm giving this product the full 5 stars because it does its job really well. I have found a few minor issues, but nothing big enough to merit the loss of a star. I'll mention those issues below.

So let's start with the good stuff! First of all, the build quality is excellent. No creaking or flexing in the plastic. The hinge that allows the handle to turn into a stand has a smooth motion and good positive feedback for the preset stopping points.

The LCD display works pretty well, though in most cases you won't need it for anything. In iPod mode, it will show you the song and artist information -- the same information available on the iPod itself, a couple of inches to the left, on a bigger screen. The LCD also shows the FM station, mode, and volume level when it's being changed.

The FM tuner and antenna are nice. Reception is surprisingly good and the quality is clear. You are given four radio presets, accessible on the remote. Pressing and holding one of the 4 preset buttons sets the station, and a single press brings it up.

There is also an auxiliary input that accepts a 1/8-inch jack.

The sound quality is fantastic. Certainly better than I had hoped for in a unit so small. It also has a good volume range and distortion is very well controlled at higher volume levels.

Initial charging of the battery was fast. While I didn't time it, I can say this: After taking it out of the box, I plugged it in and sat down to eat some food that I had brought home with me. I checked the unit again about a half hour later, and the battery level indicator was at full. It will charge your iPod/iPhone while it is plugged in, but not when it is running on battery power (which is to be expected).

The remote, while not perfect, is pretty cool. It's really thin and slides into a slot in the back of the main unit when not in use. When in that slot, you can't even tell there's anything there. It runs on a button-cell battery, keeping the profile as small as possible. You can control your iPod/iPhone menus from the remote, change volume, select FM presets, skip tracks, pause, etc.

As a whole, I love this thing. High quality in just about every way. Of course, nothing is perfect. Here are the relatively minor issues I have found:

While the iPod/iPhone connection seems pretty strong, the "basin" that it rests in is bigger than the base of an iPod Classic or Touch, and bigger than the base of an iPhone 3G, even with my case attached. It's good news that you can fit an iPhone with a case in there. But I'm not a huge fan of the fact that since this "basin" is so big, when placing one of these above mentioned products onto the unit, the actual port that plugs into the iPod/iPhone is the only real point of contact. The iPod/iPhone does not rest against the unit, so I'd be a little worried about accidentally bending that port if someone were to push the iPod back towards the base or pull it forward towards them. There are plastic adapters to get a snug fit for the smaller members of the iPod family, but nothing specific to the full-size line.

Because of the small profile of the remote, I always feel like I'm going to break it. And the unit doesn't always respond quickly to the remote commands. Also, when you first put an iPod or iPhone on the system, it immediately starts playing some random song. I wish it would just do nothing until I tell it to play something.

Lastly, if you plan on using this with your iPhone, you'll have to deal with your screen lock settings. Personally, I have my iPhone set to auto-lock the screen after a minute of not being touched. This happens while it is on the dock playing music. It's fine if you're just letting it go, but once it locks, you can't use the remote to navigate through the menus because the remote can't unlock the iPhone. So you have to get up anyway, to unlock it before selecting your new song. This is not an issue with the iPod line, and if you want I guess you can turn off the screen lock on your phone before using it.

Even with a couple of minor irritations, I love this thing. Certainly worth the money, and every one of the 5 stars I gave it.

Altec Lansing T612 Digital Speaker for iPod and iPhone (Black)


Listen to rich, distortion-free sound from your iPhone without missing any calls with the Altec Lansing T612 Digital Speaker for iPod and iPhone. Designed to complement the iPhone and certified to meet all "Works with iPhone" and "Works with iPhone 3G" requirements, the T612 won't pick up any of the annoying hum that mobile phones often emit, meaning you can leave your iPhone on and not in airplane mode.

For 2G Ipod Touch,
By Scott "Scott K" (Rochester, NY USA)
The current price of 131 is a very good deal. I paid full price for this unit.

Since this does not have a clock or radio, my main purpose of buying this was to get a decent sound on an ipod player. Also, it had to work with 2G Ipod Touch or 3G phone (both charge and play--many unit will play but not charge these new Ipod models).

The choices are few. Some JBLs and Bose (System II), and Polk Audio. I do not know if the more expensive hifi brands work with 2G Touch; I just didn't want to spend 500-600 dollars for an ipod station.

This unit has much more power than the JBLs I tested. The Klipsh units (like IGroove) will not charge IPod touch 2G, although they have excellent sound.

So it came down to Bose SDII vs this unit, which is now less than half the price of the Bose SDII. They are both very good, but this AL unit can get louder with less distortion, and even at lower volumes separates sounds better. I tested both units, using multiple songs/music (classical solo and orchestra; rock; blues; jazz solos and band; folk; acapella like Take6, among others). I'm not sure what to say about people who say the sound is muddled--well, for some recordings this is true, but a modern folk acoustic album, for example, comes out very crisp and alive, or a violin solo, the sound couldn't be more alive. I think I did a fair comparison of these units, and believe the AL unit may be better, and certainly a much better value. The bass/treble control is also quite excellent.

Great speaker option for Sansa Connect, January 22, 2008
By MAC (San Antonio, Texas USA)
I own a Sansa Connect and wanted to find a portable and reasonable sounding set of speakers to acccompany it for use at my office, home, and other locations where I might prefer not to use earphones. The iM413 seemed to fit the bill nicely so I bought one this weekend. The build quality is excellent and the overall sound is good for speakers of this size, especially when using the bass boost and surround sound functions controlled by the included remote. The tone is pleasing and easily heard across an average sized room even at relatively low to moderate volume settings. There is some distortion at the highest volume, but I won't be using that level much anyway, so I don't find that unacceptable for my needs. The system looks great with the Connect attached and presents a very clean, high tech profile. I particularly like that the speaker dock also charges the player. The Connect has a short battery life when using WiFi, so being able to stream Internet radio for several hours with no concern for the battery running low is a big "plus". I can listen to and download plenty of music and still have a fully charged battery when I'm ready to go moble with just the player. The iM413's FM reception has been quite good and it is nice having another option for music that my Connect itself does not currently have. Since the system is also compatable with the Sansa c200 and e200 series of MP3 players, both my son (e260) and duaghter (c250) can also make use of the iM413 when I'm not using it. The only problem will be the fighting to get it! My one compliant is the FM antenna which is a single, thin wire. It tends to get in the way when moving the unit around and seems easy to accidently damage or pull off if it were to snag on something, etc. Perhaps a small, fold-away telescoping antenna may have been a better option in my opinion, espcially for a portable system. Overall, however, this is not a big enough issue to stop my liking the iM413 so much. I wish it were not so expesnive ($99 at BestBuy), but as they become more available, I'm sure there will be some great deals out there before too long. For what I use it for, the iM413 is a great product and I would recommend to anyone looking for a solid sounding, portable speaker system for the Sansa Connect, e200, or c200 series.

40% better than the iM-207, October 30, 2008
By R. S. CRAWFORD "Slangevar" (Jamestown, NY)
I bought an iM-207 and an iM-237 at the same time, curious to see what the difference was.
The 207 is roughly 25% smaller and comes with a 1/8 to 3/32 stereo adapter, is designed to function sitting with the speaker pointing upward or will sit at a slight angle back on its side. I think it is money well spent- compared to the same amount I spent 3 years ago on one of those fold-up cube type dual speakers. In comparison to that fold-up cube, I think the sound is like 3 times better: quality-wise and volume-wise. The iM-207 lacks an LED that lets you know if the power is switched on, so you might drain the batteries out if you forget to turn it off after you unplug your player unit. It turns on and off by rotating the outer chrome ring-not a smooth switch at all compared to a rocker, slider or push button. Now on to the iM-237: a bit more stylish than its predecessor the iM-207 and at a price that is 130% more. It comes with a swanky padded and zippered carrying case with a mini carabiner clip and a tether that can be attached to the speaker to secure it to your wrist or hang it on the wall, it doesn't have a 1/8th to 3/32 adapter. the sound is cleaner than the 207, more defined at both ends and easier to listen to and has more volume. I wouldn't say the sound is twice as good though- I'd say more like 40% better. I'm not an acoustical engineer and don't have the audio equipment to evaluate the quality on any emperical basis. The iM-237 does have a nice green LED to let you know the power is on and a simple push button on/off button (which is vulnerable to accidental activation) the cord conceals neatly in a winder molding in the base and secures the plug well- a little too well, it's hard to get it out if you don't have long fingernails! I'd say value wise the 207 has a better quality to dollar value, however if you prize sound quality then go for the iM-237.

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

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.

Product Description
Listen and charge your iPod at home, office, or dorm with this stereo speaker with iPod dock and FM tuner. Got another digital media player? There's a connecting port for listening as well! The Altec Lansing iM600 sound system offers stereo sound from dual 2-inch neodymium drivers optimized for high-frequency extension (better highs, in other words). It offers more power and output than any other system in its class and, what's more, it features another Altec Lansing engineering innovation called the Expanded Sound Stage technology: ESS makes the speakers sound further apart than they really are, giving the user a heightened stereo effect.

For the price - amazing!,
By H. P. Bunaes "HP" (Wickford, RI USA)
I listened to all of the portable iPod speakers at BestBuy, and although the Bose system (for $399) sounded marginally better - the Altec Lansing iM600 is amazing considering the price. Great sound for a tiny unit, surprisingly good bass response, nice design, and FM tuner built in. If you can afford to spend $399 go with the Bose, if you're cost conscious you could do a whole lot worse than this little wonder.

Hey Mama! Much R-E-S-P-E-C-T for altec lansing! yay!, March 26, 2009
By A. Boston (Boston, MA United States)
You know how sometimes you're sitting there listening to something, and you're enjoying it to such the extreme that you want to hear absolutely everything right this minute and just can't choose? These speakers did that for me. I could sit here for hours just listening.

First thing out of the box I noticed - wow is this sucker heavy! The speakers probably weigh around 14-15 pounds alone. A bit bigger than I expected as well. But of course, don't let that deter you. The bigger, heavier speaker produces amazing quality sound.

I was hoping to mount this on my kitchen wall - free up counter space and clutter! But unfortunately, the mount is sold separately. Plus I'm in a rental, and thinking about it, putting something of this weight on the wall makes me nervous.

I eagerly got this out of the box and set up, as we're a house full of iPod dock lovers. I listen to everything. Sometimes when I'm working I like classical, but I'm also a huge fan of hip-hop and a secret lover of indie -- I try to make my indie friends feel bad for thinking their music is superior to everyone elses's, therefore, indie sucks! Right? Yes, I'm one of the "anything but country" people. The sound of this dock surpasses anything I've ever had before. Real quality, hearty sound. I'm hearing things in my favorite songs that I've never heard before. Realizing they might be more musically complicated then I had imagined. I love that the bass/treble adjustments are on the remote. I sometimes like to adjust for the song, and this lets me do that. These speakers really differentiate each instrument, I'm a little shocked by how good it is.

I only wish it had AM radio and more control over the ipod with the clicker to switch playlists etc. Also for those with a cordless phone. There is interference on the phone(not the speakers) if you use a 2.4 GHz phone, as this is on the same frequency. But guess what, I love it so much, I'll get a different phone!

As a final testament: If I had the cash, I would give this to any friend or relative as a gift. Absolutely top notch. Having some friends in the music business, I would not shy away from giving this to them and that says a lot because they can be VERY picky about their sound quality.

Great Speaker Option (Works With iPod Nano 4th gen)
By terryoregon "terryoregon" (Beaverton, OR USA)
It has been noted that the 4th generation iPod Nano has some backward compatibility issues with other devices. For example, the 4th gen nano won't charge on a lot of older docking stations.
I can confirm that these Altec Lansing speakers will charge your iPod Nano 4th generation. See uploaded photo. I was actually assuming it wouldn't because the description only says compatible with "iPod nano 3rd gen".

These speaker sound good for their size. The "aux" in jack is on the back if you want to use these speakers for other types of mp3 player.
