Customer Reviews

Excellent little speaker
I am delighted with my Altec Lansing iM500 v 4 speaker doc. I have a 4th generation ipod nano and this speaker has been produced for the 4th gen nano and charges while it plays. It is a small and very slim speaker that works both on mains or batteries. It produces an excellent quality of sound for such a small speaker and is very easy to transport. The only down side is that it does not have a remote and has to be operated either on the speaker itself or the ipod. Otherwise it is an excellent machine and good value for money. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a portable speaker with a good quality sound.

Good Speakers if the Price is Right
The speakers are designed for and charge 4th Generation Ipods. They also have a 'aux-in' so you can play other MP3 players (the 'aux-in' is slightly smaller than I was expecting, so I will have to buy an additional lead/cable/wire to use with the speakers).
As far as the sound goes, which is not very far, the speakers are not bad. I was not expecting to be blown away by a wall of sound, but the speakers are not going to serve any situation other than listening to in your house, in your small to average-sized garden, or in the park enjoying a picnic (DO NOT try using these speakers in the park doing anything other than enjoying a picnic!). I did in fact use these speakers in the park and they were duly appreciated by all. They struggle with bass, but have a good middle and given their size produce a reasonable sound.
The speakers are slim and light making them ideal for taking abroad. They are well presented and come with a stylish carry-case. They are made by a company (Altec Lansing) that sounds like the name of a legendary explorer, or possibly the name of the latest movement in 'toothpaste science'.
I would recommend these speakers at anything under £40, otherwise I think you can probably find better speakers for your money.

So neat
This really is a neat little speaker - takes up much less room than a CD player, and the sound is very good (though I'm not a very hi-fi techie person anyway). Plenty of volume when needed and handy dust-cover/protector to keep it in.
