I was initially satisfied with the IMT702. It didn't sound as good as the Bose but it was half the price. I guess you get what you pay for. The IMT702 lasted only six months until it totally failed. It began to simply make a "pop" sound and then stop working after about two minutes after turn on. I would then unplug it and turn it on again only to have this pattern repeated. Needless to say, its useless now. I cannot recommend this product.

The speaker system works fine, has good sound output - plenty of volume for use outside. The control buttons on the top of the unit seem cheap in construction and are not the easiest to use. The unit works fine with my iphone 3G and does recharge the phone.

Worked great for a few days, then stopped working. Couldn't turn it on unless it was plugged in, and battery wouldn't take a charge.

The product works pretty well, although I agree with other reviewers that the buttons are kind of glitchy - they should have just gone with pressure sensitive buttons. Sometimes, no matter what button you push, the result is that the volume goes up. Weird. The design otherwise works well. The sound is good, an it's cool to be able to go cordless with it.

Aside from all that, the product completely stopped working after less than 6 months. It lights up, but produces no sound. I'm trying to get Altec Lansing to exchange it. Even more disturbing is that I originally purchased the IN MOTION IM600, and it broke in about 2 weeks! At this point, I am obviously pretty disappointed in the quality of products from Altec Lansing.

This worked amazingly well for the first few timesi used it.
I was so excited abotu having it in my life. I mean really.

And then...

the battery died while playing music (which had happened before because i was using it so much) So I plugged it in to charge it.
Then it started flashing lights, and the volume went all the way up to max on its own. It told me to reset. I didn't see a reset button anywhere, so I unpluggged and tried again. Kept doing this.

I almost got it to work one more time, but then the ERROR came up again. That's when i decided I will jsut go to Best Buy and get something that i can return myself in the event it craps out on me again.

Oh, the remote NEVER worked either, which i was planning to sort out later, but since the unit never worked again, what was the point. I hardly had this for 2 weeks. Not the life span i was going for.

maybe my unit was faulty? but it seemed fine at first. What the heck? I'm VERY disappointed and a bit annoyed.
