| Review | Rating | Last Updated | Not good
I bought and returned this item, of course still waiting to get my money. Sound is horrible. I bought this because I like Altec speakers a lot, but this turned out to be a worthless piece, not sure if I got the 1/100 bad pieces. | 2 | 801 days ago | Great Little Gizmo
This device is perfect for playing my MP3 player at work and can be easily packed to use on trips. I am especially impressed with the set of international power plugs as I travel overseas. | 4 | 801 days ago | Great accessory for laptop or PDA
I'm not an expert audiophile, but this sounds great when paired with a laptop or PDA (Axim X30 in my case).
<br />
<br />With a laptop and wireless connection, you can have a good little sound system in any room in the house. I listened to the Metropolitan Opera broadcast this past Saturday, courtesy of the audio stream provided by WHRO. This gave better sound quality than I get when listening to the local FM radio through my home audio system.
<br />
<br />Some thoughtful features provided by the manufacturer: mains power adaptor comes with 5 interchangeable plugs to fit US, UK, European wall fixtures, plus some others I don't recognize; there is a built-in retractable input jack, presumably compatible with standard headphone outputs from MP3 players and the like (I only used it, satisfactorily, with the Axim X30); a separate detached input line is provided, I suppose standard, which worked with my ThinkPad.
<br />
<br />Overall I am quite happy with this device and consider it good value for money at the price offered by Amazon.
<br />
<br />Some areas for possible improvement: again, I am no expert, but is it possible for someone to build a device like this which gets both its power and input signal from a single USB conection? The interchangeable mains plugs are a great feature, but they would be much more useful if they were interfaced to a USB power adaptor that could recharge PDAs. Also the mechanics of the retractable input line look a bit flimsy, and I have seen complaints in this forum about the durability of such fixtures in similar systems made by this manufacturer.
<br />
<br />Still for $70 I think it a good deal, a system that greatly expands the entertainment value of laptops and PDAs.
<br /> | 5 | 801 days ago | Slim, portable terrific rich sound
I am using this with my non-iPod mp3 player. I have to say, these are the best portable speakers I have heard. Don't let the size fool you, they provide a rich full sound with nice bass pick-up. I recently took these to my parent's house for the holidays and everyone remarked on how great they sounded.
<br />
<br />Pluses: slim design, foreign plug attachments, long battery life, light-weight, rich sound.
<br />
<br />Minuses: I couldn't think of any, maybe the on light is a little too bright - not so great when you want to fall asleep listening to music. Maybe could use an auto-off when sound signal not received after a set time. | 5 | 801 days ago | Altec Lansing IM4 Portable Audio System
This is a good quality speaker for 1 room performance. The sound reproduction across the range is very good for a small compact unit. It folds neatly, has it's own transport bag and external 115 volt AC to DC adapter. It also uses AA batteries.
<br />Overall the unit is sturdy and folds out easy on rotation which is stable. A good unit for the money. One does not expect deep bass from 2 1/2 "speakers. Overall I recommend it to take with you.
