5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for my Video Ipod, 12 Mar 2006
By A Customer
This review is from: Altec Lansing InMotion IM3 Portable Audio System (Electronics)
I bought my wife a video ipod for christmas. We wanted a decent set of speakers - this has great sound, folds up compactly, a travel case is included to protect it when travelling, has a mains adaptor with all the plugs needed for international travel (works on 110v and 220v) and has a remote control (with on/off, volume, play/pause, forward/back functions).

We bought our IM3 in Canada, but assume that it is the same as the UK model.

It also looks great with our black video ipod.

We are very pleased with this unit and can not recommend it highly enough.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super Little Speakers - Technophobes Do Not Fear, 14 Dec 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: Altec Lansing InMotion IM3 Portable Audio System (Electronics)
I bought these for my husband so that he could get more out of his i-pod mini. As he's out for the next few days I managed to set them up for him within 10 minutes - as I'm a complete technophobe that is nothing short of a miracle! The set up instructions are in diagram form, which is helpful if techno jargon confuses you. The sound quality is brilliant, but tinny if you really crank them up, but at this price that's not what they're for. The fact they're a docking station too is an added bonus.

5.0 out of 5 stars this is the correct inmotion im3 to get........, 21 July 2005
By midniteeye - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Altec Lansing InMotion IM3 Portable Audio System (Electronics)
if you have a 60gb ipod photo. a lot of people went for the older im3 model without the c, and wind up with something that would not fit with the ipod photo. i had to call altec lansing to get the im3 and im3c issue straighten out.

i am very pleased with the purchase. most of all, it is the portability. i bought this item with the intention to take it on the road. this thing even came with an universal charger, which is a nice thought, but unfortunately it is the worst kind of universal charger. the kind that you have to pop in different kinds of connecting heads, not a true all-in-one universal charger. still, it is better than none. i can accept this minor inconvenience.

on a positive note, this speaker dock will charge and synchronize, so no need to take your regular dock and charger with you. sure, it doesn't have a s-video output, but chances are the tv in your hotel room won't have a s-video input for you to view your slide shows either.

now, the sound. it's okay, as long as you don't try to jack up the volume. this is a small portable speaker. it won't give you the rich bass stereo sound. if that's what you want then get a pair of the large in-home speaker to use at home. in fact, you can get a decent pair for much less. for the price tag of this item, the sound just isn't up to par. it is the all purpose portability that makes this item worth while.

all in all, highly recommended. btw, it is cheaper than the inmotion im3 that various third parties are selling through amazon. any wonder why amazon is no longer carrying the im3?

5.0 out of 5 stars 60Gb Photo IPOD fully supported, 7 July 2005
By J. W. Cush - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Altec Lansing InMotion IM3 Portable Audio System (Electronics)
The IM3C directly supports all 3&4 generation IPODs including the 60Gb. It replicates the function of the docking station and comes with international power adapters both result in significant savings over separate purchases. Power cable included but not docking USB. Automatic poweroff is battery mode only. Sound quality is very good for 2 watt speakers. It is not intended to provide room filing sound but is excellent as a travel sound system. Very small and light. The carrying case is of decent quality and convenient for packing system and power equipment.

4.0 out of 5 stars Just What I Needed, 26 May 2006
By John J. Faria - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Altec Lansing InMotion IM3 Portable Audio System (Electronics)
I was looking for a decent sounding, reasonably priced, speaker system for use on my night stand and while traveling.

The IM3C has exceeded all my expectations. In it's travel bag, with AC Adaptor it takes up less room than a hardback book. The 110-240 power supply comes complete with all the adaptors I need to plug it in in Germany, Korea, and Japan (I travel often, so this is handy). Better yet, it charges the iPod, so I don't have to carry the iPod charger.

The sound isn't Bose good...but it's comparable with a good boom box. I've heard complaints about lack or volume and lack of bass. I listen to folk, country, and classic rock and the bass is clean and true. As far as volume, it won't power a frat party, but it's just fine in a hotel room.

This is the perfect system for the frequent traveler.
