Would buy again
These are great speakers, with a great sound for the size. Runs on normal batteries (not hard to find), with a long battery life. While the sound isn't as good as a big home system or boombox, I wasn't expecting it to be. The international power adapters and small, compact (folding) design make it easy for traveling. For what it is, I'd buy it again.
Free yourself from headphones
I've been using this for a few weeks with my 3rd Generation iPod and have no serious complaints. I've primarly used it to listen to Audiobooks (from audible.com or ripped from CDs) and find the sound quality more than adequate. I've also used it to listen to a wide range of music from Opera and Classical to Rock and Jazz. While it may not have the overpowering bass of some home systems, it is perfectly fine for the average user looking to be freed from headphones or ear buds. I take the InMotion to work and it allows me to listen to audio books and still be able to hear my boss.
My only complaint is that the remote is not very responsive. Sometimes I have to press a button several times before the unit reacts.
Also, once you put your iPod in the replacement dock, the remote plug on the top of the unit won't work. So, if you are trying to connect something like Griffin's iFM, it might not work (I don't have my iFM yet to test this). But, you can leave your dock at home because this unit's dock will recharge your iPod.
This comes with an AC adapter so that you can plug it into the wall. It can also run off batteries for full portability. It comes with a case that holds the speakers (which fold up pretty small) and the remote. The case does not have room for an iPod or for the speaker's AC adapter.
If you want to free yourself from headphones, I'd recommend this.
for travellers, maybe.
i'd have to agree that this lil package would be great for the frequent traveller who wants to able to play the songs on their ipod just about everywhere they go. it's convenient and good size for portability, can be battery operated, has a remote control, etc..
if, however, like me you are looking for a sound system that will accomodate your ipod at home i.e. a personal stereo, then this is not the best bet. the sound is very 'tinny'. small speakers = small sound. you're probably even better off using computer speakers to play your music.
my advice: save a few more bucks and get the bose sounddock instead.
