Rating: - good sound could be great, plus one problem
i am replacing my cambridge speakers with this little compact unit. the inmotion sounds adequate for its size but if you're a bass junkie like me you have to have more bass. just to experiment i plugged the jack from the (cambridge) sub into the headphone jack of the ipod and voila, nice tight bass, controlled by the ipod volume, and speaker volume controlled by the inmotion panel. if you have a small sub already,you're set, otherwise add the price of a computer size sub to use with this set. i set the ipod to "treble boost" since i have the sub hooked up. the sound is wonderfully rich and you won't complain because you have highs and lows, perfect for the office!
just remember when travelling around with it, you're back to so so sound, but for something this size, it's great.

here is the downside i've found so far. plugging into the back dock, the ipod says "do not disconnect" and the ipod never mounts.
i'm using a windows machine configured to work with mac ipods
and the ipod works when plugged directly with the computer but
via the inmotion it just doesn't work. hoping to get help on this. even if i can't get it to work that way i'll still keep the "inmotion".

Rating: - Great system for my iPod
When looking that the inMotion speakers, one must remember that they are portable and not meant to be a replacement for a complete audio system. That being said, these do sound amazing for their small size. Altec did a good job in placing four separate speakers in the system. You will not be disappointed if you intend to use these in an office, hotel room, dorm room, etc. You will be, however, if you hope to use them as a complete system with your iPod. The price is high, but do consider the fact that you're getting a dock too, which retails for $40 if I'm not mistaken. My only complaints/suggestions for the speakers are that I wish you could use the firewire cord to power the speakers in addition to the iPod. Being able to charge the iPod with the batteries would be helpful too. I waited for Amazon to drop the price to $100 after I saw it on a few other websites. After they arrived, though, I looked online and saw the price at $89.99. I emailed Amazon and am waiting to see if I will be refunded the $10. If not I will probably consider purchasing from another company in the future.

Rating: - EXCELLENT!
I echo what everyone's said here. This little speaker set is great! <br /> <br /> The sound is amazing for something this size and can be turned up quite loud before distortion. <br /> <br /> The portability is second-to-none! Light, compact, and it runs on 4 AA batteries for a decent amount of time?? Fantastic! <br /> <br /> I use it ALL the time. Sure beats plugging it into my old Aiwa stereo and having it tied to one room! Now I can carry it from room to room, work, whatever! <br /> <br /> VERY happy. :)
