Altec Lansing inMotion iM600

I've had other Altec Lansing speaker products and have found them to be top-notch, including the inMotion products and stand-alone speakers. This product had problems within the first week. Even with the… proper adapters, the iPod Nano and Touch simply don't work (charge or play) with this unit, and I can only get the video iPod to play if I physically hold the iPod in the unit "just right". The product is literally right out of the box and stopped working--I've used it twice. Have requested a return from the seller, but still have not received an email with shipping return information, so we'll see if the product is replaced with a working unit.

This product was great for the first two months we had it. Then, one morning, It did not turn on. We tried charging it, and it still wouldn't work. The product looks brand new. It just stopped working.… Please beware! I tried calling the service number, and going on their website for help. I got no responses. I don't know much about their other products, but I would avoid this brand all together just because of my experience with these Ipod speakers. Go with ihome or Bose.

I've used 3 iPods with this model, not to mention countless others passing through. From iPod touchs, nanos, shuffles, and otherwise, I've never been disappointed. The 6th generation iPods, iPhone's and… iPod touch's (2nd Gen and up) do run on alternate software that makes charging impossible. I just bought the newest generation classic and it charges just fine. Now on to the sound - Excellence. An absolute revelation. Sure, it doesn't have some of the acoustic range that Bose has, but so? It gets loud, the bass and treble are all even. You can even use to EQ settings on your iPod to do a little of your own enhancing. Not to mention, the battery power. Once used the dock on battery power for 6 hours straight and it didn't decrease one. Out of personal fear, I just plugged it in after a while. To say the least I love this item and new models may come and go, but this is the one I recommend. People like the radio feature to. I'm not a radio fan so I don't use it, but it's nice to have the option. The remote's great too!! Hopefully you read this before you buy.... iPod Touch's (2G & Up), iPhones, and 6th Generation Nano's Do run on different charging software, so they don't charge on this model, but they fixed that situation...

We have used this machine for about a year now and LOVE IT. It has good FM reception (I'm listening to the radio on it as I write this) and we use it daily for both music and radio. I even took it with us… on a road trip so my husband could listen to some podcasts on my ipod with me in the car, and it was awesome. We take it out to garden with us, I've used it at work...so it has gotten around The only unmet desire I have is that it would charge my iphone while docking.
