old guys reviewOctober 13, 2008 I love the portability and the sound levels are great for outdoor activities in a large space. The only thing missing is a handle but that would tempt me to use it as a boombox. I've only had it for about a month and it's been to a tailgate and a picnic. It literally can go anywhere indoors or out with power the options. The ability to plug any device into it will also come in very handy.
IM9 iPod Sound SystemSeptember 30, 2008 Despite it's small size, the unit puts out very good sound and the sound quality is above average. It's versatility is excellent, using either batteries or plugging into an outlet. It would be great on the beach, patio, RVs, etc. I was very pleased with this system on my patio, and decided not to install outdoor speakers once I heard the music this system provided. It comes with a nice carrying case which is an added bonus. One small nit, the bracket that allows the system to stand upright is a little piece of plastic that pulls out from the base; it appears fragile, but so far so good. I recommend this system for anyone desiring a small, easy to carry system that puts out big sound for it's size. I did not experience any buzzing or hum cited in other reviews.
Does not power iPod TouchSeptember 15, 2008 I bought this a year ago to go with my 60gb classic. Incredible sound even if it is a little bass-heavy. I just upgraded to a Touch 2G and I was very happy with how it fit in the IM9 without any dock adapter. The problem is that it won't charge the Touch! It says "Charging is not supported with this accessory." Bummer, because the Pandora app sounds incredible on the IM9. It's like having satellite radio without the fees.
Great Sound, Small PackageAugust 5, 2008 The im9 sound great, and to my benefit, is extremely light. I recently took it on a river trip, and it performed admirably for three days on the same batteries. The only drawback, for me, is the fact that the Nano adapter does not fit my 2nd gen. Makes me wonder if a first gen would even fit, or if Altec Lansing just went 'whatever' when they made the thing. I tried to get them to replace it, but they said they'd send a "replacement", leading me to believe it would be the same as the one in the box. Their customer service definitely leaves something to be desired. That said, I give it 4 stars, all for the sound quality.
Decent Sound, Awesome PortabilityJuly 10, 2008 The sound quality on this Ipod player is decent. The bass is a little flat but it's hard to expect more from something so small. The portability is great. Plugs into the wall to charge, uses C batteries when you can't plug in. Ruggedly built. Seems like it can hold up to some abuse.
Overall, for the price it's not bad. I'm happy with it.
