      Ferocious sound compelled me to write a review by T. W. Bonner
      This thing is worth every penny. If you don’t want to spring for a BOSE, this is your alternative. Absolutely devastating sound for it’s size….balanced and crushing bass. I am impressed every time I crank up the volume, and i’ve had this thing for like 2 years now. It’s so portable, and so loud. I love it.

      One great iPod audio system! by Come and Get It!
      I bought this back when it first came out to the market, over 2 years ago - I was sort of hesitant on purchasing something that cost as much as my iPod U2 edition. But once I plug in my iPod and turned up the volume…what can I say, I was impressed.

      The bass was very good and the mids and highs were very good too for a system this small.

      THe only thing that I wish A-L had done better was the thinking out of the remote and the angle necessary to activate it. Like it has been mentioned time after time - you almost have to be in front of the iM7 to activate the controls. If it was not for the remote - I would have gave 5-stars for the iM7.

      Other than that - one hell of a unit and if you can find one on-line get it.

      altec lasing inmotion iM7 by L. Howard
      I brought this for my son’s birthday. We have owned one for about a year and a half and have loved it. Sounds great. Great to carry around places.

      VERY high quality sound!!! by Masayoshi
      I work in the music business and know good sound when I hear it. This unit is GREAT! It’s not all about deep bass or crisp highs, its about everything between 20Hz and 20kHz! For a portable stereo with small speakers, this thing ROCKS! There’s no gaping hole at the crossover point and no ridiculous bass or treble boost. However, if you want more bass, this’ll give it to you long after similar sized boxes are distorting like crazy!

      The only drawback to the iM7 is you have to be careful with the iPod door. I’ve read that other people have had theirs break on them and I can see why. It’s not exactly fragile, but not sturdy either. Mine hasn’t broken, but that’s because I knew of the problem before buying. Even if it does break in the future, I won’t mind too much because my ears have a higher priority and I LOVE how the iM7 sounds!!!

      Sound is a very subjective thing. Get 10 different people, let them hear one set of speakers, and you’ll get 10 different opinions. It’s because we all like different things and have different levels of hearing damage. Some people like lot’s of bass, some like lot’s of treble or midrange. It also depends on what kind of music you listen to most. The best thing to do is close your eyes and listen for yourself. If you don’t know what good sound is, ask a friend who seems to know more about it. Don’t ask a salesman because he/she just want’s you to buy something.

      If you’re in the market for small, portable speakers for your iPod, DEFINITELY give Altec Lansing’s products a listen to!!!
