5.0 out of 5 stars Exceptional Speakers!, 9 Feb 2006
By KMW (England) - See all my reviews
  
I bought the Altec Lansing IM4 portable speakers to replace my distorting Creative Travelsound i300 speakers. I purchased these from an airport duty free shop for £60 with a free pair of Altec Lansing headphones. It was toss up between these IM4 speakers or the Creative Travelsound 400 speakers. I opted for the IM4 speakers as my brother already has the Travelsound 400 speakers.

The sound from the 4 neodymium micro drivers was at first a little too deep, muffling the higher notes. Changing the equalizer settings on my Creative Zen Touch corrected this problem. Overall sound quality is superb and they sound excellent with all genre's of music. The bass is, as expected, better than the Creative Travelsound i300 and 400 speakers. Although I think the Travelsound range do sound slightly more crisp at the higher notes. The IM4 speakers go louder without distortion than the Creative Travelsound and do have a more complete sound.

Build quality is great and they feel very durable. The fold out design of the speakers is clever, matched with the rubberised platform creating a mini stereo system that looks cool with any MP3 player.

Portability of the speakers is surprisingly good, they are quite big when rotated up into postion but when rotated back down, the unit is more like a book, meaning that they can be easily placed into a rucksack or laptap carry case etc. They are not too heavy either so you can carry them around comfortably in the supplied pouch.

Connecting the IM4 speakers to an MP3 player is simple. the unit comes with a retractable stereo cable to plug into the mp3 players headphone socket, meaning you don't have to be carrying the stereo cable everywhere. Another good feature is that there is another input so you can connect two MP3 players at the same time using the 3.5mm stereo cable that is included with the speakers(although Amazon states theirs doesn't include this cable, mine did).

Battery life is excellent, around the estimated 18 hours using 4 AA batteries. The power adapter includes 4 different socket adapters for use in the UK, Europe, North and South America and the south pacific.

Overall the Altec Lansing IM4 are speakers highly recommended to anybody who wants good value portable speakers with great sound quality. If you're after something smaller than the IM4 speakers then I recommend the Creative Travelsound 400 speakers although they don't come with a power adapter.

For me, the Altec Lansing IM4 speakers are a fantastic purchase and I definitely made the right choice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome speakers, 13 Jun 2006
By D. Blackwell "david blackwell" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have long been bugged by the lack of decent travel speakers for my iRiver. Having been so smug about the purchase of (what I believe to be) a superior product to the iPod, I subsequently found myself gazing longingly at the myriad iPod accessories that have flooded the market - the most galling of which being the huge selection of 'docking station' style speakers. As with one of the other reviewers, I bought these speakers in the airport in something of an act of desperation, facing another tuneless holiday as my wife hassled me not to isolate myself inside my headphones. WHen I unpacked the box and plugged the speakers in, I was blown away. Very crisp sound all the way up to 11, they looked great, they were easy to transport and they were capable of handling everything from Nick Drake to Rage Against the Machine with aplomb. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hi Fi quality but portable, 29 Dec 2006
I brought these for my niece for Christmas after reading the reviews on here, they are really great, and you would not believe they are portable speakers, we were all amazed at the sound coming from them, Hi Fi quality but portable. You can plug anything that has a headphone socket into these even your old portable TV. So 10 out of 10, from me, and my niece. She's been playing her new MP4 on them all Christmas...LOUDLY MMMmmm so perhaps not so 10 out of 10 after all
