Altec Lansing InMotion Air Wireless Speaker System

Can't afford a Bose SoundDock or an Arcam rCube? Then this portable, wireless speaker is for you.

Good sound quality, excellent battery life, durable build quality, affordable

Hate/love it design, Cannot charge devices, no lossless streaming

Altec Lansing InMotion Air review

Altec Lansing's InMotion Air is a wireless speaker with two speaker drivers in a single bar-style unit, with a remote control and rechargeable battery. It's surprisingly small and, at £180, shockingly expensive. We were surprised by its full sound and...

The InMotion Air may be horribly expensive, but is an excellent completely wireless speaker.

Altec Lansing InMotion Air IMW725 review: Altec Lansing InMotion Air IMW725

Altec Lansing InMotion Air IMW725

The ; is a Bluetooth speaker with a rechargeable battery for cord-free audio. Its attractive design includes a built-in handle, and a remote that stores in a hideaway slot. The InMotion Air plays pretty loudly, and it comes with a USB dongle for...

There's no dock for charging an iPhone or iPod, and bass is thin.

Though it's neither the best-sounding nor the cheapest Bluetooth speaker we've heard, the Altec Lansing InMotion Air IMW725 wins points for its attractive design, portability, and plug-and-play setup with any PC.

Altec Lansing inMotion Air iMW725

The Altec Lansing inMotion Air iMW725 isn't a portable iPod dock, but it will wirelessly stream quality audio from Bluetooth enabled devices or your computer.

Streams music from source via either USB dongle or Bluetooth. Remote controls iTunes and paired Bluetooth devices. Susbtantial low-end for a portable unit. Overall sound quality is above average.

Despite solid audio quality, the unit distorts at high volumes. No physical iPod dock connection.

The remote, which measures roughly 3.8 by 1.2 by 0.3 inches, has controls for selecting the Source, Power, Volume, Track Forward/Backward, Ess (which is a stereo-enhancing sound effect I recommend leaving off), Play/Pause, Mute, and Launch, which opens...

Review- Altec Lansing inMotion Air Speaker System

I had the opportunity to spend some time at Altec Lansing's headquarters in Milford Pennsylvania the other day. They were kind enough to let me see the inner workings of the company and to visit some of their sound labs. While I can't go into detail on...

Great Sound

This speaker provides good sound and easy connection via bluetooth allowing me to play whatever music I like without having to get up and change it. I am also using it to stream internet radio from my iPod Touch. It's not cheap but I've always found...

Consumer review (cnet.com)

Great value, great sound in small package.

Had this for a year now, fantastic speaker. Bought for my wife who thought she'd never use it, but we use it several times a week! we take it on the boat, to the beach, on our patio. Sound, to me, is better than the Bose unit costing 2x.

Easy to pair, sounds great, much less expensive than other comparable bluetooth speakers.

LED's on top of unit aren't very helpful...bluetooth connection should glow blue, Can't really tell if you're connected without checking connected device.
