Altec Lansing inMotion iM9 Mobile Speaker System - IM9
2.0-channel

This was a Christmas present for my son. He loves it! The sound quality is amazing. You can crank up the volume and still have clear crisp sound. I highly recommend the inMotion iM9 Mobile Speaker System. It's also easy to haul around from place to place.

This has to be the best portable iPod speaker system. It's fairly compact, your iPod is protected by the speaker system, it plays for hours on 4 'C' batteries, and puts out a remarkable amount of sound for such a small system. The included carrying case makes it easy to haul around. The only downside - no remote control. Overall, a great choice when you're outdoors with your iPod.

Amazing sound quality and the mobility is great. I recommend this iPod stereo to anyone that wants a nice crisp clear sound with amazing bass. I listen to everything from hip hop to classical. It all sounds great!

This is a great system! Portability with the carrying case enhances that aspect as well. When the ipod was first turned on and we heard the music we were extremely pleased this was the system we purchased. There are no negatives. Installation, performance, ease of use -- all 5 stars. VALUE??? Absoulutely, especially when purchased at Buy.Com. Stop looking, this is your unit!

The sound is really wonderful for such a small box. It makes watching movies and videos a treat. The free back pack is really too small to carry the iM9 unless you work hard to squeeze it in there. A battery life indicator would be nice. The only way we know when to replace the batteries is when the sound gets a little weird. For example, when the batteries get low enough, at higher volumes the low bass enhancer fails to enhance. The bass drum just goes "clunk." One of the features that lured me to purchase this unit was the video pass thru output jack on the back. Unfortunately Apple removed that feature in the new iPod Classic (according to Altec support) so there's nothing to pass from iPod to thru jack. The unit is well built and feels indestructible. At the price I paid ($89 US) it is impressive. I'd buy another if I were in the market for one.

With this item on the market, there is no need to buy a BOSE system for your ipod. I've tried/used both and to be honest, this sounds much better. It's an absolute bargain for what it delivers: rugged ability to use anywhere crisp sound, full sound range, and a minimalistic footprint. If there is any negative, it's that most protective skins do not allow you to place the ipod in the cradle with them over the player. Buy this.

These speakers sound great! They are the best sound for the price. Other portable system sound tinny. This system give a good all around sound and has good bass.

Produces excellent sound and is highly portable! Auxiliary inputs for other devices as well as an input for an Ipod cable are great features.

I needed an Ipod Speaker system that was portable, small enough for my office desk, and good sound. On paper, the iM9 seemed to match these needs and judging by its big brother's reviews, the iM7, I figured it would make a good buy. My firts impressions exceeded my expectations. This is a great sounding system, for its size. I can't believe the sound that comes out of such a small package. It makes for great ambient sound in my office, or small rooms; I've used it by the pool also and will take it to the beach as soon as summer rolls around. It is advertised as "splash and shock resistant" and the build quality confirms it. My complain is shared with some reviews I read prior to buying, as it does not come with a remote control. There is a possible solution to this, as the iM9 comes with a rear bottom dock, the same as you find at the bottom of the Ipod. This allows for a remote control connection, such as that of Ijet remotes or even the Monster iEZclick remote, as the receiver of these remotes simply connects to the bottom dock. I yet have to tesk this, but it looks like it should work.
