The editors liked
Its bombastic styling might not be to all tastes
But unlike many classic boomboxes from back in the day
The iMT800 is not all show and has a generosity of sound you don't normally get with iPod docks. Having room for a 5.25in subwoofer certainly hel...

The editors didn't like
Some things about the 80s belong there
And the iMT800's size and near-7kg weight will be a real turn-off for some. With an RRP of £270

There's nothing old-fashioned about the price tag
And for that kind of money we'd expect...
No AM radio
Heavy
No internal battery
Requires LR20 (Dsize) batteries
No dedicated buttons for controlling the music source
Basic LCD screen, No AM Radio, Difficult EQ Adjustment
Overall, the MIX Digital Boombox is pretty impressive. The biggest drawbacks would have to be its heavier than normal price tag and the bulky nature of the unit itself. Those looking to purchase an amplification device for their iPod/iPhone are goin...

Tremendous power. Built-in subwoofer. Doesnt distort at high volumes. User-adjustable EQ. Two aux inputs and cables for additional MP3 players are included. Works with iPhone. FM tuner.
Not nearly as portable as advertised. Remote lacks full iPod menu navigation. No video out.
With multiple inputs, the Altec Lansing Mix iMT800 iPod dock lets you play DJ by connecting up to three MP3 players. It also delivers powerful, user-adjustable audio without distortion—even at high volumes, which is more than enough to make up for i...
Abstract: Back in the early days of the iPod, there were portable dockable stereo systems and then there was Altec Lansing’s iM7, a giant all-white $249 cylindrical tube shaped system that ran on batteries and could be hoisted on your shoulder like a ghetto b...
Powerful, portable, impressive looks, cool remote control
Not especially portable, no internal lithium-ion battery, expensive
Altec Lansing's Mix iMT800 is a mix of old and new — it's an iPod dock and FM radio with all the charm, style and raw power of an 80s boombox. Its sound quality rivals other high-end iPod docks we've heard, and the portability of the Altec Lansing Mix iMT...
Distinct, retrolicious design , Excellent sound for a system this size , FM radio , Two auxiliary inputs placed on the top of the unit for easy access , Portable (powered by eight D batteries) , Slot for storing remote, which also clips onto a belt
Pricey , No AM radio , Would be nice if the system included a rechargeable battery , No video outputs
The design of Altec Lansing's Mix iMT800 may not appeal to everyone, but its winning combination of good performance, lots of oomph and portability makes it one of the best iPod speaker options out there....
