With its well-regarded inMotion system, Altec Lansing has raised the bar again with the iM600. Featuring a myriad of new technologies, the iM600 offers big, crystal-clear sound, and it folds up compactly for easy portability.

- folds up compactly to offer great portability;

With Expanded Sound Stage technology, the speakers sound further apart than they really are for a bigger soundstage. View larger. View Remote. Superior Sound in a Small Package
Employing dual two-inch neodymium drivers that are optimized for high-frequency sound, the iM600 offers unmatched musicality and clarity. Despite its compact size, the bass is punchy and has good extension, and with Altec Lansing's Expanded Sound Stage (ESS) technology, the speakers will sound further apart than they actually are, for a greater stereophonic image.
Elegant Design Matches the iPod
The iM600 sports a distinctive thin and elegant glossy-black look. A spring-loaded button deploys the speaker's stand and reveals the iPod dock, power button, and volume controls.
Your iPod perches front and center, resting at an angle to display the current track information and album art while recharging. If your iPod model has the alarm clock and sleep timer features, they will work seamlessly with the iM600.
Various docking adapters are included, making the iM600 compatible with most iPods. Also, an auxiliary input lets you connect any CD, DVD, or MP3 player using a stereo mini-plug.
Built-in FM Tuner
If you get bored with the songs on your iPod, the iM600 has a built-in FM tuner, letting you listen to your favorite music and talk radio. Near the top of the unit is an LCD that displays the current FM frequency; buttons on top provide tuning controls. The tuner also features a memory for four presets and a telescoping antenna for better reception.
Change the Music from Across the Room
A small remote control is included, letting you change the musical selection from across the room. A storage slot built into the system itself makes it easy to store the remote, preventing you from losing it behind couch cushions and other inconvenient places.
Take Your Music To-Go
With a compact size that folds closed to a mere 11 x 1.7 x 6 inches (W x D x H), and weighing only 2.1 pounds, the iM600 is easy to take with you to the beach, on vacation, or wherever you else you're going. The built-in rechargeable Li-Ion battery lets you listen to more than 7 hours of continuous play. An AC adapter is included for connected listening and recharging the battery.
The Altec Lansing iM600 is backed by a one-year warranty.

Customer reviews
Great item, with one drawback.... 
I love my Altec-Lansing speakers; the sound is fantastic for my needs. I'm no audiophile, but I do like great sound, and this works really well, with wonderful portability; The biggest drawback, though, is that, while it will play the new nano 4th generation, and iPod touch 2nd generation, it will not charge them, which to me is a huge drawback. If you have one of the previous generations of ipods and you're going to stick with them, I'd recommend this; just beware of its limitations for the newest generations.
Great speakers at a reasonable price
Recently received this product, and have only used for a short while, but would highly recommend it. Since the price is now only $79.99, it's definitely a good bargain - relative to other systems. I would rank the quality as high or higher than any iPod speakers I have heard/used.
Even with the volume at a low to moderate level the output is loud, clear and has decent range. Use in an office, or even a large room is possible. If you don't want to spend a lot of money, but still want to enjoy sound quality I would recommend these Altec Lansing speakers. Great as a gift, or for yourself.
Excellent product
Great sound quality. Used daily in the work place for streaming XM from a PC as well as music from an iPod. Great battery life!
Great value.
Great value for the money, bass could be deeper, but sounds good for size. Portability with Lithium ion battery is great feature.
Very useful and versatile speakers
Good features:
- Excellent sound quality
- Good sound level
- FM tuner
- Folding dock and stand
- On the rear there is a small area to store the remote
- There is no need to use the remote in normal use, just to change the FM stations presets
- Nice quality build
- Nice design
- Portable size and weight
- Video output
- Extremely good pricing!
Not so good:
- Shiny finish that gets easily scratched
- It is no easy to find the subwoofer by Altec Lansing
I bought an Init Sports case for portable DVD players up to 10". The fit is very tight but makes the unit extremely portable and protects it from getting scratched.
I forgot to add that in the long intervals when you don't plan to carry around the equipment, the battery can be disconnected and still be kept in place. In this way the unit only works from the wall outlet and there is no risk in recharging the battery too many times too often.
The battery is easily accessed by two phillips screws.
