Altec Lansing inMotion iM5 Portable Audio System for iPod White
An amplified extension of your iPod, the Altec Lansing iM5 portable speaker system lets you enjoy your favorite iPod playlists out loud, making it a hit at backyard barbecues, in the dorm room, and just about anywhere else. The compact, lightweight system is built for portability, with an easy-to-carry body that measures a mere 8.4 by 3.8 by 2.1 inches (W x H x D) when folded. More importantly, it produces surprisingly powerful, room-filling sound, with crisp, elegant highs and a MaxxBass system to round out the bass. And thanks to the iM5′s built- in charging station, your iPod will be fully juiced each time you remove it from the dock.
Other details include an advanced digital amplifier that delivers more than 24 hours of battery life (requires four AA batteries), a 3.5 mm auxiliary input for a second device such as a portable CD player or DVD player, and a protective carrying bag for traveling. The iM5–which is compatible with the 3G iPod with touch wheel, the 4G iPod with click wheel, the iPod nano, and the iPod mini–weighs 20 ounces and is backed by a one-year warranty.

User Ratings and Reviews
1 Star Burned twice!
I really loved these speakers with their cute little bag that had a space for the ipod itself (yes, lame reason, but there it is). They also had such good sound for small speakers, that when they started malfunctioning by making popping cut out sounds with heavy bass, I returned them for a refund and ordered them again from a different seller. Unfortunately, I had the same popping noises happen again within a week, so I had to return them once again. Now I give up despite the cute bag. The manufacturer really needs to work on this major defect if it effected one buyer twice!
4 Stars Ideal for travel
The sound is of good quality for compact easy to pack speakers. Nice tone and range. Sufficient volume for an average sized room. Perfect for a hotel,cruise ship cabin or college dorm. I have always liked Altec Lansing speakers and this is no exception. Comes with an excellent well padded travel case. I have owned and used it for almost a year and have no reliability issues.
5 Stars Nice sound for a nice price
I purchased this item for the purpose of being able to listen to Ipod with battery power. This unit is compact, easy to carry and store, lightweight and has great sound, especially for the price. I won’t compare the sound to Bose (it is not at that level) but it very, very good. I recommend this product to anyone wanting good sound at a good price that is easily portable.
4 Stars bargain speaker – poor volume control
This is a relatively cheap speaker with good sound quality – perfect for a small room or to bring to trips – particularly hotel rooms and cruises. The AC adaptor comes in different plug options. Included bag for the speaker is also nice. The only downside: volume is pre-set to a certain volume every time u turn it on – and it’s way too loud.
5 Stars Perfect speaker/dock for our 10 yr. old
This compact, easy to set up, portable, one-piece unit delivers incredibly good sound. Our 10 year old granddaughter was thrilled. Not the latest model, but the price was fantastic as a result and who cares about the model number anyway!
