 Docking system needs to be improved August 29, 2010
Q. Liu (Woodbridge, CT)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
We bought the unit after researching all the reviews. It is very portable. However, we are not happy about how the docking system works. The docking system does not have a secure feature like the charger/USB cable for ipod. As a result, the itouch can be put on in an awkward position that the unit simply does not broadcast anything! The music we hear is from the itouch, not the unit! I consider myself a very careful person. I am not sure how often other people can get the ipod on the system correctly. We keep on wondering if this will eventually damage the ipod. The sound system is OK. It indeed can get loud without the sound being distorted but as far as bass, it is not impressive at all. Two weeks after we use it, when we put the itouch on, the music started to play for 10 seconds and stop, once we hit the go button on the itouch, it will start to play again for about 5 mins, then it will stop by itself. We have to hit the go button again on the itouch. Then, the music can go without any stop. We experienced it every time we put the itouch on to play. We did some experiment and finally concluded that it was the problem of altech lansing rather than the itouch. We called the company and was told to reset the unit. It seems to solve the problem. However, the problem does return from time to time. I'm wondering if the bose unit will have similar issues being $200 more expensive.
 Does not shut down Pandora with the iphone 4!! August 28, 2010
Carol A. Kriegbaum (Dallas, TX)
I actually bought a couple of these things to live with for a few days. Logitech has a new speaker dock out that sounds great. Better sound, but $50 more and I had to take the case off my iphone to get it to work. That was a deal breaker as the case is a pain to take off. Also the sound is not worth $50 more over the Altec Lansing. I have played Pandora for hours and not had it cut off at all. That would have had it going back in the box for sure. I love the portability and size of the Altec, I have taken it back and forth to work with ease. The remote is confusing to me, maybe I should read the directions... The Logitech came with a case which is nice, but I'll get a nifty little case for this and then it will be perfect. For $100--good value!
 Aux issue August 25, 2010

The size and weight of the unit make it handy and mobile.
When used in the auxuliary mode, the unit sporadically shuts down. Sometimes it plays well, sometimes I have to power up several times within five minutes. It happens with various aux components: different mp3's and the computer.
My 4th generation Ipod also freezes up sometimes when I insert it. I'm not sure if that's the unit or Ipod.
Brian's Altec August 24, 2010

I like the lightness and ease of portability. This is a very easy way to keep ipod charged. The sound quality is adequate, not great, but it's very good for a ipod dock withoput spending over $200.
The Auto-Shutoff is a MAJOR diappointment. August 22, 2010

Two of my favorite apps on my iPhone 3GS are Pandora and iHeartRadio. Now that these apps are able to run in the background, allowing me to do other things on the iPhone while listening, I use my iPhone to listen to music and talk radio a lot more. So, I started looking for a portable docking system for my iPhone. I like to listen while I am working in the garage or outside.
I found the Altec Lansing iMT620 at a retail store. It looked like exactly what I needed, so I bought it.
After I charged it up, I was really looking forward to docking my iPhone and listening to Pandora while doing some work around the house. Imagine my surprise when the music stopped, and I figured out that the Altec was cutting out after a couple of minutes!
Turns out that, when you dock an iPhone, the Altec thinks you have paused an "iPod". When the pause hits the limit, it cuts out.
The workaround is getting the proper cord (iPhone plug on one end, aux input plug on the other) and using the Aux input port on the back to connect the iPhone. Thus, the docking port is useless, unless you want to listen to the iPod app on the iPhone.
I am inclined to keep the Altec, even though I just bought it yesterday, and I could return it.
I figure it is as good as any other portable boom box with an Aux input port.
I'll give it 2 stars.
It would get 5 stars if it were really compatible with the iPhone, as it advertises.
