The Altec Lansing iM500 portable speakers are superthin, attractive, durable, and very portable; can be powered by AAA batteries; include line-in port and cable; can be used as an iPod dock with a standard USB cable; excellent sound quality for the size.
The Altec Lansing iM500 would be better with a remote control; its a tad pricey; flimsy design when no iPod is docked; dock is designed only for Nano; line-in port is not standard 3.5mm; no white version.
If youre an iPod Nano user who likes to pack light and thin, most certainly check out the nice-looking and -sounding Altec Lansing iM500 speaker system.
A thin portable speaker system for the iPod nano with USB data, audio-in, and wall power ports on its rear, augmented by included audio and power cords, a thin carrying sleeve, and the ability to run off of AAA battery power. Delivers superior sound to...

Sound distorts significantly as you approach top volume. No tone controls or volume indicator.
Overall, the Altec Lansing inMotion IM500 is a solid product that is well suited to travel, thanks to its durability and ultrathinness, but you can squeeze only so much power from such a small speaker....
Abstract: When your portable music player is so small that you can stick it in your pocket and not even feel it there, its a shame to lug around large speakers. So what do you do if you have an iPod nano and want to unshackle yourself from i...
Sleek and compact design, can act as a dock, has an auxiliary input
A remote control isnt included, doesnt have bass and treble controls, poor sound quality at high volume levels The Final Word This is a well-designed speaker system that can also act as a dock. However, its sound quality doesnt match its sleek look....
This is a well-designed speaker system that can also act as a dock. However, its sound quality doesnt match its sleek look. The lack of a remote control, hard to press buttons and poor sound quality at higher volume levels means users should give this...
differenzierter Klang, geringe Abmessungen und Gewicht
keine Fernbedienung
Der Preis von rund 100 Euro scheint etwas hoch gegriffen, zumal die Verarbeitungsqualität im Detail noch zu steigern ist. Auf der „Haben“-Seite kann der Lautsprecher einen detailreichen Klang, geringe Abmessungen und ein niedriges Gewicht...
Abstract: Hur härligt det än är att lyssna på musik i hörlurar på sommaren så är det ju ändå bara du själv som kan njuta av favoritartisterna. Visst kan man plugga in sin iPod i stereon eller datorn hemma men då missar man ju en stor del av poängen med en smidig...
