Altec Lansing's ultra-small, ultra-sleek portable speaker and charging system with built-in docking port for iPod mini lets you enjoy your digital music collection without earbuds. This versatile system also connects to other audio devices, including laptops and other MP3 players, with an auxiliary input jack and included 3.5mm stereo cable. A highly efficient Class D amplifier powers four full-range micro drivers to deliver excellent sound; MaxxBass technology booms the deep notes so there's no need for a separate subwoofer. Simple operation is as easy as placing your iPod mini into the dock or connecting it through the auxiliary port. The dock recharges your iPod, too. The inMotion iMmini features a removable protective cover. It measures 1" x 7" x 4 1/2", weighs 10 oz. and runs on the included DC adapter or 4 AA batteries (order separately). One-year warranty. No-hassle 2- or 3-year Product Replacement Guarantee available (see order form).
1 For a compact travel system, the iMmini is hard to beat
I needed a compact travel speaker system for my iPod Mini. After looking at the options, the iMmini speaker system seemed to be the best choice. It is very small, sturdy and lightweight, which makes it a perfect choice for travelers. It also sounds pretty good for as small as it is. It does get a bit distorted at higher volumes, but tweaking the iPod Mini EQ settings can usually help in that area. It's not loud enough to fill a room with sound, but it works perfect when sitting at a table having drinks or sitting out on a beach, etc. I'm taking mine to Costa Rica with me (along with several fresh batteries), and it's not going to make much of a dent in my luggage space...and that is exactly why I picked the iMmini. It also looks pretty stylish with the silver iPod Mini. It's not a perfect sound system (especially if you are looking to blast the tunes like a boombox), but it's definitely a great choice if size and portability are desired. It's also worth noting that the iMmini works well with the iPod as a travel alarm clock unit. It may not be for everyone, but it's working out really well for me.
2 AVERAGE
This system is certainly better than the JBL onstage docking speaker system, however it also has its drawbacks.
Pros: very compact, user friendly, portable.
Cons: eats batteries, lacks a remote, sound quality is average.
If you can afford the Bose ipod base speaker, you'll love it. It's worth the extra cash. Sound is incredible. Comes with a remote the size of a credit card.
I have all three...the Altec Lansing is better than JBL, not as good as the Bose.
3 My experience may be unique but
.... maybe because it's first generation;
(1) It's a complete battery hog in spite of A-L's claims for long life. AA's last a couple of hours at most. Get rechargeable batteries, but even then you may have problems
(2) 9 volt power plug-in doesn't work. I Had to call A-L for a replacement
(3) I bought some rechargeable high-power NiMH batteries at the suggestion of A-L customer support. It' still not enough power. The unit auto shuts-off after 3 minutes.
(4) It's going back to A-L for replacement. They are giving me a full replacement. Hopefully, it will work better.
(5) Sound is very good...when it works
A-L support was great, but overall, I am not happy with this product.
