Abstract: Back in the early days of the iPod, there were portable dockable stereo systems and then there was Altec Lansing’s iM7, a giant all-white $249 cylindrical tube shaped system that ran on batteries and could be hoisted on your shoulder like a ghetto b...
Powerful, portable, impressive looks, cool remote control
Not especially portable, no internal lithium-ion battery, expensive
Altec Lansing's Mix iMT800 is a mix of old and new — it's an iPod dock and FM radio with all the charm, style and raw power of an 80s boombox. Its sound quality rivals other high-end iPod docks we've heard, and the portability of the Altec Lansing Mix iMT...
Distinct, retrolicious design , Excellent sound for a system this size , FM radio , Two auxiliary inputs placed on the top of the unit for easy access , Portable (powered by eight D batteries) , Slot for storing remote, which also clips onto a belt
Pricey , No AM radio , Would be nice if the system included a rechargeable battery , No video outputs
The design of Altec Lansing's Mix iMT800 may not appeal to everyone, but its winning combination of good performance, lots of oomph and portability makes it one of the best iPod speaker options out there....
Powerful output, Portable, welldesigned for use on the move, Great overall design, A full, beefy sound (rare on iPod docks!)
Heavy, No internal battery, requires LR20 (Dsize) batteries
The MIX certainly won't go unnoticed in your living room. However, for a barbecue, on the beach or in the garden, this boombox will keep you and your friends dancing though the night ... so long as you remember to stock up on batteries!...
No dedicated buttons for controlling the music source; iPhone and iPod playback is easily interrupted; no volume-equalisation feature
The Altec Lansing Mix offers the appearance and audio of a great party boom box, but start-stop music playback and volume discrepancies between sound inputs mean that it's unlikely to raise the roof more than a few inches ...
Priced at £269, this is more of an investment than an impulse purchase. Maybe we’ve been won over by its charm, but we like to think that the Altec Lansing Mix iMT800 will stand the test of time — it’s well designed, well constructe...
Abstract: My recently acquired iPod Nano 5th generation got an outing here. However hands up those who remember the ghetto blasters those of a certain age carried on their shoulders that will give you an idea of the size of this interesting product....
Its bombastic styling might not be to all tastes, but unlike many classic boomboxes from back in the day, the iMT800 is not all show and has a generosity of sound you don't normally get with iPod docks. Having room for a 5.25in subwoofer certainly hel...
Some things about the 80s belong there, and the iMT800's size and near-7kg weight will be a real turn-off for some. With an RRP of £270, meanwhile, there's nothing old-fashioned about the price tag, and for that kind of money we'd expect...
Of all the possible words you could use to describe the iMT800 Boombox, ordinary isn't likely to be one of them. Its in-your-face design means you'll probably love it or hate it, but it does have plenty going on beyond that in case you haven't...
