User Ratings and Reviews
1 Star Disgusted
I cant review this item because it has been out of stock since the end of April. So, I cancelled it. Sorry.
5 Stars Great speakers for iPHone
I have owned several Altec Lansing speaker systems over the year for my iPods…this one is especially designed for the iPhone (and the only one on the market so far).
The sound is clear, rich, and you can crank up the volume quite loudly before you get interference. The sound fills my entire house beautifully.
This is basically plug and play — plug it in, put in your iPHone or iPod, and play away.
It charges your iPod/iPhone while playing or while in its dock, even when not playing. It does not sync to your computer. It also does not serve as a speakerphone system – you do need to pick up your iPhone to speak into it. When you put it back it the dock, though, it remembers where you were and resumes playing.
It does what it says it will do — and it is shielded from GSM signal interference, so you do not have to put your iPhone into Airplane Mode, which you must do with any other speaker system on the market currently – that is a plus.
The 199.00 is either cheap for this type of system, or too expensive, depending on your view of things. It is probably overpriced by about 50.00, but you really have no other choice if you want a shielded speaker system for your iPhone.
Recommended.
4 Stars Great Sound & nice user controls – Docking a little dodgy
This is only docking/speaker product explicitly designed for iPhone that is currently available. It has great sound, good user controls, and is still compact for portability. No trace of interference from the iPhone but the docking action is not very tight and I have to place a foam rubber spacer behind the iPhone to get a reliable connection. As long as you remember to use such a spacer the unit rocks.
When a call comes in on the iPhone the unit pauses but you have to remove the iPhone from the unit to take the call. When finished just return the iPhone to the dock (with foam rubbedr spacer) and the music resumes.
5 Stars Perfect office cubicle companion
This is my first Altec Lansing purchase. It’s also my first docking station purchase for my iPhone because it’s the only shielded device avaialable (as of the time I’m typing this).
Set up was a breeze, the iPhone sits perfectly in the cradle even with the extra large cork case I have on it. The best part!? There’s absolutely NO dit-a-dit-a-dit-a-dit-dit-dit interference noise when I receive calls or texts while the phone is docked! The sound quality is great, even at very, very low volume levels. Unfortunately, I can’t blast the sound while at work so I can’t speak to full volume sound quality.
If I had to wish for something better, I would ask that the remote allow for more advanced menu/song selection. It only offers basic PWR, VOL +/-, BASS/TREBLE adjustment, TRACK +/- and play/pause. It would be nice to have a rotary style remote wherein I could browse other artists and playlists without having to touch the iPhone.
Other than that minor gripe, I’m much happier at work now that I have my iPhone and iPod playing at work and getting charged at the same time. This is a great product which I’m very pleased with!
