Summary: Could be heard over the phone in Europe!
Review: After reading the reviews on this website, I didn't have very high expectations of the sound quality and high volume capability of these speakers. But after plugging in my non-iPod MP3 player, I called my husband in Europe, and he could still hear the music loud and clear over the phone, even when I was in a different room than the speakers. Overall, I'm very pleased with these little speakers that could, and I can't wait to hear what they sound like when we use my husband's iPod with them.

Summary: Portability makes these a "must-have"
Review: After weighing all the options for small speaker options for the iPod, I decided on this system. Why?
1) SIZE: Yes, other systems that are slightly bigger probably have better sound, but with the folding feature and carry bag that comes with this system, it's unbeatable.
2) PORTABILITY: Closely linked with size, but with other key factors: Battery use and lack of parts. It uses 4 AA batteries and if you don't take along the power cord, it's one small piece when folded. That's it. You're gone.
3) EASE OF USE: With the built in iPod dock that lets you charge while listening, it is just too easy. But that's not all! You can connect to your PC via the system's base and do all the normal functions. But wait, there's more! Since the iPod is docked it leaves the headphone jack open. If you happen to have the iTrip (or other FM transmitter), you can use this jack and transmit to other speaker options using FM. This is useful in situations where others might want to share your collection (e.g. the beach). Then you and others can listen.
4) THE COOL FACTOR: I'm not sure how to put a price on this one, but I paid $109 and the cool factor is probably worth $75 of that. It just looks cool, and since it is clearly made for the iPod, gawkers know it's probably the latest thing.
Since it's so easy and sounds so good, I've taken to moving the speakers to wherever I am in the house instead of having the home PC play through the home speakers throughout the whole house. We're not talking earth shattering sound here, but for one/two room or office use - these are excellent.

Summary: I'm glad I have this baby
Review: Although this item is a little pricey and you can find options with better sound, here's why I like this unit:1. It serves as a second docking station and iPod charger.
2. It's compact and portable, i.e. smaller than most hardback books.
3. It gives me a variety of options, i.e. hotel use, take to work, to play music outside, etc.

Summary: Pretty good product overall
Review: Are you the frequent traveller who likes setting up a small stereo in your hotel room, and not relegate yourself to uncomfortable headphones??? With all the speakers out there, I would have to say that, with regards to the iPod, this pair of speakers is the best! 1. Portability ---- The speakers fold up real nicely and are VERY easy to pack in your carry-on..... I've often had trouble placing speakers in my bags, but these ones fold into a flat surface, which makes it very easy to stick into any little crevice 2. Loudness ---- Some small speakers never quite get loud enough --- while these speakers aren't like a THX sound auditorium, they do produce a pretty loud beat! You'll be putting the volume down more often then turning it up 3. Clarity ---- Like I said, this isn't the perfect clarity, but for the price, the speakers really get the job done....... Very clear and they sound great -- I highly recommend putting your iPod on VOCAL BOOSTER for great sound on this speaker set 4. iPod connection ---- Its so cool how the iPod connects to this thing.... Unless you have the 1/2nd generation iPod (which also works with this system), then the simply put your iPod into the dock and connect no other wires! it plays from there....... unless you use AA batteries, then you will have to plug the AC adapter into the speakers, which is fine, because then the iPod will charge as it sits in the dock isn't that awesome! you can finally listen to your iPod continuously without having to worry that it'll run outta battery power so overall, this is a device that you can't live without if you're an iPod lover great sound, great portability, and great charging BUY YOURS NOW!!!!

Summary: Really Cool Speakers, but Just Not Worth the Money
Review: Being greatly impressed with a relatively cheap set of Altec Lansing computer speakers I have been using, when I saw this really cool speaker setup for the iPod, I jumped on it. While I realized that speakers of this size could only give so much power, I was expecting a bit more out of them. Based on the Altec Lansing products I have used before buying this set, I know that they have a way of making some big sounds out of small speakers. With that said, I don't see the sounds I get out of these speakers being any better than those from from a typical boom box. I would even say they are inferior to most. In addition, the battery life that these speakers allow is very low. They suggest you could get 20 hours of playtime from a set of batteries. I haven't gotten playtime better than 10 hours. In the end, you could have gotten yourself a set of some really nice computer speakers for the price of a month of battery play from this product. While this is a very cool novelty item that is sure to turn some heads, I think you could get a comparible set of speakers for $30. They just wouldn't have the cool compatability with the iPod. I'm glad I have my set, but based on the price, this is hardly a deal to brag about. If I could go back, I would have second thoughts.

Summary: Ipod and Inmotion Recharged at the same time!!
Review: don't expect BIG sound on any battery-powered (4 AA battreies) speaker. if you play loud and do it in your home, buy the AC-powered big speakers(of course, w/ high-power amps) instead. the inmotion was made primarily for mobile-no-available-ac-power purposes. but if you don't play loud, this should suffice. i use this mostly in the outdoors on weekends.
in the average with nothing specific, compared to other battery-powered speakers of the same size i had used before, i give it a 4 1/2*.
just want to suggest one feature though in near-future design which the inmotion lacks at the moment. why not a built-in recharger for the speaker batteries when unit is powered via AC source, this way the ipod and the speaker batteries are charged at the same time. ready to go wireless as one anytime you unplug the ac source. i am sure most of the users prefer rechargeable batteries which are much more economical and definitely environment-friendly. so disregard the one-time-use non-rechargeable batteries, as what the first-generation creative nomad did.
also, the speakers are without covers and i have the feeling that those silver circles attract curiousity for my little kids, they might just pierce them with their finger or any handy stick. i hate when that happens.

Summary: Awesome speakers
Review: For the small size, you can't beat these speakers by Altec Lansing. My 40GB iPod has such a variety of songs and everything sounds great from classical to pop/rock.
Great bass and woofers. Smaller size than a boom box with a sound like good shelf speakers. After reading some reviews and trying it out in a department store, I bought from Amazon. I'm really protective of these gems now and can't live without them.
Easy to set up and move around. Have not needed the speakers using batteries so I can't comment about battery life or power. Comes with a nice, durable black cloth carry bag that is somewhat protective. The speakers are great on a trip using iPod for an alarm clock with music.
There are bigger sounding speakers, but again, for the size and the money THEY ARE WOW!!

Summary: SMALL SYSTEM BUT STRIKING WOOF...VERY USEFUL TOO
Review: From its sleek looks to the thumping bass, the InMotion matches the iPods perfectly. For its size, the woofer included is mindblowing, the songs have a deep bass that one has come to expect from Lansing. Some spiffy and convenient features -- (a) A minijack .125-inch headphone jack for private listening
(b) an auxiliary stereo minijack input for hookup with other audio devices such as portable CD players, laptops, older iPods, and other MP3 players (an interconnect for this purpose is included)
(c) Built-in, flush-mounted power and volume controls
(d) When docked inMotion's iPod bay, your music player can perform all the same data transfer and synchronization functions possible via Apple's usual free-standing iPod dock
(e) The onboard amp can support up to 24 hours of continuous playback on just four AA batteries (not included).
(f) For indoor use, it includes an AC power supply that recharges the iPod anytime it sits in the inMotion docking bay
(g) 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 travellers It's a very worthy purchase for such a small "system"..

Summary: Easy, Portable, Functional and Sounds Good
Review: Got my wife an 20GB iPod for Valentines Day and she listens to it all the time. When it came to hinting about a Mother's Day present, she wanted these speakers. I have an Apple Store nearby so I stopped in and they had them on display. I was concerned that that they are so small (like two other iPods on either side of the unit in the center) that they would sound poorly, but they actually sounded very good. She got them this morning and immediately set them up. It runs on 4-AA batteries but I imagine she'll use the supplied AC Adapter almost all the time accept if we were to bring them someplace where there might not be a place to plug them in. She was amazed at how compact the unit was and thought the speakers were missing until I showed her how it flips open. They also supply a short adapter to connect an external device to the speakers as well as a lined case to store the speakers when not in use. So she "docked" her iPod in it, turned the power on, pressed play and it worked like a charm. It really sounded good. She moved the unit to the kitchen, put the volume maybe halfway up and we could here it all over the floor that the kitchen is on. Set lower, it can play without disturbing others. Plus, important for her (or it was when she was always carrying it around) is that it charges the unit. Maybe now with the speakers and it being plugged in, she won't be commenting that she forgot to charge the iPod again. Granted it has only been 1 day, but she's already said multiple times today how cool it is and how good it sounds. That's all that matters to me! ;-) I'd highly recommend considering this unit to add to your iPod experience.

Summary: amazingly powerful and small sound system
Review: i dont own one of these (i dont even own an ipod) but my best friend has a set of these for his ipod. let me tell you, size doesnt matter. these little babies have got amazing sound, and are amagingly portable. they are no bigger than a notebook (each speaker is the size of an ipod, and there is a base they fold into) but they are better than my cd players speakers, which are about 7inches by 14inches. i definately suggest these, i think they are just a tad pricey tho. but think about it: you get surround-sound quality speakers that are above all portable.
