The sound quality isn’t the greatest, but if you want a system to carry your music around then the included backpack and unique rubberised case may be of some interest.

The iM7 is an excellent sounding unit that provides plenty of thumping bass, but at this price, there are a few factors which prevent it from ruling the roast.

We just can’t recommend this speaker system. Look elsewhere, even at previous Altec Lansing models, because this one has missed the gun.

This is a well-designed speaker system that can also act as a dock. However, its sound quality doesn't match its sleek look. The lack of a remote control, hard to press buttons and poor sound quality at higher volume levels means users should give this a miss.

The sound quality and high price tag make it hard to justify buying a portable speaker package like this solely for its design.

The iM4 delivers above average sound quality for a set of portable speakers.

The iM5 is a decent unit and its extra outputs are a nice touch. But the lack of an included remote and better sounding units for similar or lower prices means it wouldn’t hurt looking elsewhere.

The portability and durability of this product make it an attractive option if you are content with only ever owning an iPod mini or nano.

An average sounding system that distorts heavily at high volumes, the M602 will not satisfy listeners with a penchant for loud music.

The iM310 is a fair travel solution, but don’t expect brilliant sound quality. At this price it's pretty decent value.

The Altec Lansing iM510 is a very basic speaker system designed with an integrated dock for the Sandisk Sansa range of players. It has reasonable sound quality but not good enough to be considered great.

Another solid MP3 dock from Altec Lansing, the T612 produces extremely energetic audio and works in conjunction with the iPhone. However, users should note that iPhone connectivity could use some work.
