Amazon.com Product Description
With 17 total watts of power, the compact and portable Altec Lansing iM600 Sound System gives you full optimized stereo sound from dual two-inch neodymium drivers, so you can enjoy your favorite iPod tunes at home or work. It features a built-in FM receiver, as well as an on-board rechargeable Lithium-ion battery that provides over seven hours of battery life before it needs recharging. The iM600 also boasts an Altec Lansing engineering innovation called the Stereo Field Expander, or SFX, which makes the speakers sound further apart than they actually are, resulting in a heightened stereo effect. For added convenience, the stereo FM radio can double as a clock radio with station presets, LCD display and telescopic antenna for clear reception; simply plug it into an electrical outlet (the AC adapter is included). Superior bass enhancement technology means you can enjoy quality bass without a subwoofer, and the input jack makes it a snap to connect a second device, including CD, DVD and MP3 players. There's even a composite video out for playing your videos and photos for iPod on most TVs, while the built-in iPod dock allows for quick and easy data transfer and recharge. Additionally, this model syncs and charges all dockable iPod models. Lightweight and easy to move, the iM600 conveniently folds up to 11.0 x 6.0 x 1.7 inches (WxHxD), and weighs just over two pounds, so you can truly take it anywhere. It comes with a wireless remote and AC adapter, and is fully compatible with iPod models that have the alarm clock and sleep timer features. What's in the Box
inMotion iM600 mobile speaker system, wireless remote, iPod docking adapters, AC adapter, user's guide, and quick connect instructions.

 great product September 7, 2008
I have a Sansa 280 that I use with Jabra C820 noise canceling head phones---an amazing combination. But I got spoiled by this and started wearing the headphones all the time, which will start to grow moss inside your ears. So I went to Best Buy to Buy the Best speakers and saw the Altec-Lansing speakers there. But Best Buy didn't have any in stock, so I ordered from Amazon (ultimately Electronics Expo), where the price was much less. They came right away and I love them (I'm listening to Yo-yo Ma right now). I didn't expect much from the sound because the unit is so small and I am used to tinny sound from boom boxes, but the sound from these is precise, deep, and amazing for the small size of the unit.
The unit is very compact and looks very nice with the Sansa 280 plugged into it.
Finally, the built-in FM receiver is quite good---much better than the Sansa's because of the wire antenna everybody is complaining about. I don't complain---that's what top-end stereo receivers have and it works! Mountain climbers who insist on bringing it along to the summit can roll up the antenna and put a twist-tie on it. Most will use it in their office or bedroom and will be more than happy about the crisp FM sound.
One word of advice: I couldn't find the remote control unit and thought it was forgotten, but it's embedded in the bottom of one of the styro packing blocks.
Absolute value for the money September 7, 2008
The sound performance of the iM600 as an iPod dock is outstanding for a small living space with numerous rooms. The volume turns up nicely without reverberation. The remote is effective, although the small size and slick backing can cause it slip out of your fingers easily. Am hoping AL will release a compact well-priced subwoofer again soon to complement this.
 Great machine!! September 3, 2008
This was everything I wanted in a machine, only wish it came with a carrying case. Battery holds a charge for at least eight hours and the sound is more than I expected.
Sleek, compact, good sound September 2, 2008
I wanted an iPod stereo player that I could put in the kitchen that wouldn't take up too much space, and this is perfect. It works well with my iPod classic and the FM radio sounds good too. I liked it so much that I got a second one for my husband to use at work.
 Sound is excellent, dock doesn't support the ipod well September 1, 2008

Altec Lansing inMotion iM600 Portable Audio System for iPod I purchased this speaker system to use when I teach my cardio dance and yoga classes at a recreation center. The sound remains excellent when the volume is turned up. Unfortunately my ipod Classic consistantly malfunctions either by stopping in the middle of a song or skipping to the next song in the middle of a song. The dock doesn't seem to hold the ipod snuggly so the connection is not complete. I love the size, weight and sound of this speaker system. I just wish the ipod would be reliable when it's used in this system. The advance and rewind buttons & the tiny little remote don't work consistantly either. I have no need for the FM radio or alarm clock, but this was the only portable and affordable system with quality sound boost that fit my needs. The price has already dropped since I purchased this a few weeks ago. It would be nice if it came with a carrying case. I bought a lap top computer case to tote it around.
