Great performance but part missingJan 13, 2010
I bought these speakers as a gift for a minister who wished to use them for small outdoor religious services, such as weddings, memorial services, and the like. They seem to be well suited for this. They are relatively compact and light weight. Running on four C batteries, they provide a rich and powerful sound. Unfortunately, we encountered one problem. If you wish to use household current to power the speakers, you need to connect the transformer (called power supply) to one of several adapters suitable for domestic or international use. We received one adapter in the package that was for 120 V AC current. However, it did not look like the adapters pictured in the parts lists on the box, and we could not attach it to the transformer. Thus, we could not use household current to power these speakers. The package appeared to have been sealed at the factory. Thus, as best I can tell, the seller was not responsible for this problem. Our only choice was to return the product. Altec Lansing iM9 inMotion Mobile Speaker Dock for iPod (Black)
 No remote, no power adapter, no ipod Touch charging, no video cablesDec 24, 2009
1st - the positive - it sounds great. I'm still taking it back to where I bought it.
The killer about this is the packaging itself: it SAYS that it charges ipods. Great, except that it doesn't charge ALL ipods, (including my ipod Touch). It SAYS that you can connect it to most TVs with a composite connection, except that there's no cable allowing you to do so. It SAYS that it uses 110 ~ 220v, but the only adapter that's with it is 110v, and since I live in Germany that's not very practical. A remote control also could have been useful. In fact, everything I mentioned is common in similar equipment (even other items from Altec Landsing).
Yes - I can get a cable to connect it to a TV. And, I can get a power adapter. And I can get by without charging the ipod on it, and, I can get up to change programs, or shut it off. But, you know what? It's Christmas Eve, I can't fix the issues that I have with it tonight - or tomorrow. I'm boxing it back up, and it's going back to the store on Sunday.
To add insult to injury - I paid $194 for it, and I see here that I can get it for half price almost anywhere else. So, this is definitely being returned. Thought this was brand new, yet apparently has been around for a number of years - looks now like something AAFES had overstock in their warehouse and placed it on an endcap hoping that some fool like me would come along and snatch it up.
 THE BEST THERE IS!Dec 16, 2009
Truly superb performance for such a tiny dock, plus for such a cheap price, you have to hear it to believe it....Great for BBQs and the usual gatherings with family and friends, it has a good amount of volume and presence.
TIP: Place your iPod EQ in Treble Booster for a better sound.
Great Sound & Great ValueNov 02, 2009
I love this product and have been very pleased with it. The sound is great! I love that the ipod sits "in" the device, so there is not option of knocking it off the dock. The portability is fantastic and works with a cord or batteries. I've used it outside and the sound is still loud and good quality.
Great iPod SpeakerSep 05, 2009
The iM9 inMotion speaker is an awesome product. I purchased it to put in my golf cart while playing and was blown away by the sound it produces. It uses 4 C batteries and I'm on the 10 round of golf on the same set of batteries and its still going strong. I was also pleasantly surprised that it came with a power cord as well so I can use it both as a plug in or as a mobile unit. It has a aux connection on the back so if you have a devise that doesn't fit in the pop out window (as my iPhone 3GS doesn't without taking the plastic protective cover off) you can connect it with a mini plug. Added benefit with the iPhone is you can play Pandora radio. All in all for the price I don't know how you can beat it.
