Altec Lansing iMT702 inMotion MAX iPod dock review

Comments

• I wouldn't consider myself an audiophile, but I don't quite understand the appeal of these speaker docks. The sound is usually tinny, most don't have enough power to carry sound very far, and the need for music in public that goes beyond what headphones can provide seems rare to me (picnic?). Plus the best ones are usually at a price point comparable to reasonable 5.1 home theater solutions. I've never been at a party, inside or out, where one of these provided a reasonable level of sound that wasn't blown out or scratchy. Maybe I'm just a curmudgeon. Posted by D. Robert, USA
• Great review. Just got this as a birthday gift. I must say, the sound is really well balanced. I actually went back to the Apple store with my gift receipt thinking there would be a better one when it comes to sound quality. The others were pretty much too BASSy, or simply no BASS at all. Great product for the $.
  
  But one thing that brought me to this page is the non-backlit buttons. I agree, they look like they are. Not seeing this article would've probably made me drive back to the store is asked for an exchange. I thought I purchased a defective model.
  
  So again, anyone else wondering, the buttons at the top are NOT backlit.
