Digital camera reviews of Altec Lansing iM207 Orbit-MP3 for iPod and MP3 Players

Digital camera Review: Good design - poor execution
Summary: 2 Stars

I received this speaker from Altec Lansing (after 2.5 MONTHS of wait) as a replacement for IM-237 that was defective from the very beginning.
IM207 is producing much better sound, but its ON/OFF switch is practically dysfunctional - very difficult to rotate outer disk of the speaker in order to activate the switch. You feel like trying to open cover of a metal can with lollypop candies, which is stuck. A very poor manufacturing execution of the design idea.

Summary of Altec Lansing iM207 Orbit-MP3 for iPod and MP3 Players

The ultra-portable iM207 Orbit by Altec Lansing lets you easily share your music with those around you. With a unique design that produces a full-bodied, 360-degree sound, you will hear the music loud and clear. And with a tiny footprint that easily fits in your purse or pocket, you can get the music started for an impromptu party at any time.

The Altec Lansing Orbit Speaker:
  • projects sound in all directions;
  • can tilt on its edge for personal listening;
  • provides 24 hours of listening on three AAA batteries; and
  • has built-in cord management.

Unique, Round Design with 360-Degree Sound
With just a quick look at the Orbit, you know you're in for something special. Its round form uses a cone design integrated with a custom Altec Lansing speaker to project full, distortion-free sound in every direction. All your friends will hear the music and wonder where the great sound is coming from. If you would like a more personal listening experience, just put the Orbit on its edge for a more focused and directed sound.

At just 3.5 inches in diameter and 1.6 inches tall, the Orbit will go wherever you go. Throw it in your pocket or purse and pull it out wherever you are: on a park bench, on the street corner, waiting for the bus. To turn it on, simply twist the entire speaker; this prevents it from accidentally turning on in your bag or pocket. And don't worry about damaging the Orbit; it's built to handle even the most reckless travelers.

A smartly designed integrated cable management lets you wrap the cable around the speaker and keeps the stereo mini-plug out of the way when not in use.

Outstanding Battery Life
You don't have to worry about battery life with the Orbit; with three AAA batteries, the Orbit will play for up to 24 continuous hours, more than enough to keep the party going all night long.

The Altec Lansing Orbit is backed by a one-year warranty.
