Reviews around unit (5.00 of 5)

  • i am replacing my cambridge speakers with this little compact unit
  • The unit comes with a cloth carrying bag to protect the unit from scratching while on the road.
  • Technically the Altec Lansing INMOTION speakers are portable, but they are a little larger than the average portable unit, and much larger than my Sony portables.
  • I miss the convenience of a remote to be able to go on to the next song but for the money it is a very nice little unit and it will be no problem in packing for travel.
  • She was amazed at how compact the unit was and thought the speakers were missing until I showed her how it flips open

Reviews around music (5.00 of 5)

  • and you can go around your house and do other things while you listen your favorite music without using cd
  • I have one in my bedroom, and use it to play soft music (jazz, classical, soft-rock) in the evening
  • However, we set it up in our kitchen and have started to use it every night for background music (easier than blasting the music from the other room)
  • No need to use headphones & others can enjoy the music too.
  • Small but useful -- you can use iPod's alarm feature to create a pretty functional alarm clock that plays wake-up music of your choice, very useful for travellersIt's a very worthy purchase for such a small "system"..

Reviews around look (5.00 of 5)

  • And if the Bose (@ $299) isn't in your price range and you're not worried about compact, trendy looks, a set of $80 computer speakers with a sub can knock this system out of the water any day
  • The speakers are small, easy to carry, nice looking and most importantly sound very good
  • From its sleek looks to the thumping bass, the InMotion matches the iPods perfectly
  • Though not very cool-looking like other models, the sound is nice for its small size

Reviews around sony (5.00 of 5)

  • I own a pair of Sony SRS-T77 portable speakers that I bring with me on business trips.
  • I was replacing a portable Sony devise that I really liked, but busted one of the speakers
  • The speakers also have their own independent volume, so they produce enough sound to fill our kitchen pretty nicely while drowning out the sound of running water when doing dishes (again, the Sony portables couldn't quite do that).
  • That's why I bought Altec Lansing's INMOTION speakers - while the Sony portables are fine when I'm traveling, they just don't produce a

Reviews around size (4.45 of 5)

  • No other iPod portable speakers that come in such a small, convenient size.
  • I put these in a good size room and the sound is good even in the highes volume.
  • The sound is okay at a low level--it's actually better than I'd have thought considering the size--but distorts quite a bit when you turn it up much.
  • and I am going to live in the dorms, this speaker system is the perfect size for the small room that I am going to be living in
  • the speakers fold up into a very compact size and even come with it's own case.

Reviews around product (4.37 of 5)

  • I thought that just the portability would make this a good product but the sound exceeded my expectations.
  • This leads me to suspect that the inMotion has significant quality control problems and I wonder if the bad reviews are due to the user having received a defective product.
  • Do you really expect to get any sort of sound out of this cheap product?
  • Extremely compact design, easy to use, and awesome sound make this the best product for ipod I have seen.
  • And, on top of all that, it's up there on my list for amazing product design

  • But you probably don't always feel like putting your headphones on, especially once your back at your hotel room--or if you're organizing the garage or simply making dinner
  • Altec Lansing has created a headphones-free portable listening alternative: the inMotion powered speaker system, the first portable audio system designed expressly for use with iPods
  • With its compact design, ultra-low battery power consumption, powerful class-D amplifier, patented MaxxBass technology, and even a built-in iPod dock, inMotion gives you performance you'd never have thought possible from a portable audio system
  • inMotion features four full-range, custom-designed neodymium micro drivers (two per speaker) for clear audio output
  • Using principles borrowed from the professional audio world, inMotion also delivers incredible, natural-sounding bass at frequencies far below those normally possible from small speakers
  • No bigger than a trade paperback book, inMotion turns your iPod into a platform for convenient, headphone-free listening anytime, any place
  • Its sound quality rivals that of systems many times its size
  • Sleek in design like the iPod itself, the inMotion system matches the iPod color scheme and features a built-in docking bay located between its speakers
  • When docked inMotion's iPod bay, your music player can perform all the same data transfer and synchronization functions possible via Apple's standard, free-standing iPod dock

  • The secret to inMotion's strikingly deep bass is a combination of specially designed neodymium micro drivers and MaxxBass technology
  • Founded on the principle of the "missing fundamental," MaxxBass generates a specific set of harmonics in response to bass input; the brain then interprets these harmonics as the intended bass sound
  • The technique is used in commercial audio systems for restaurants, high-end retail environments, clubs, and other venues where exceptional fidelity is essential, but where large speakers or subwoofers are impractical
