  • Abstract:  So, if you love the punchy, sharp, clear, bassy, rather compressed, very American sound – I'm thinking Phil Spector wall-of-sound here – of this terrific-looking Altec AirPlay music player, the inAir 5000, it might be an idea to buy now. The price has plu...

  • If you’re going to spend over £400 on a set of AirPlay speakers then the sound needs to justify the cash. However, the inAir 5000 lacks the finesse you’d expect in this price range and struggles to compete with rivals such as the B&W Zeppelin Air. ...

  • The stylish Altec Lansing InAir 5000 streams immersive, consistent sound from iOS devices and iTunes over Apple's wireless AirPlay signal
  • If you aren't terribly picky about sound quality, for half the cash you can get a Bluetooth speaker with nearly the same aural reach
  • The Altec Lansing InAir 5000 produces well-balanced sound in an attractive package that will blow the roof off your room...if you can afford it.
