Portable Speaker Streams Music from Your PC

Thanks to its Class 1 Bluetooth capabilities, the inMotion Air is able to stream audio directly from your computer. The speaker communicates with your computer via a USB Bluetooth transmitter, which has an effective transmitting range of 333 feet. This means you'll be able to receive a signal from almost anywhere in your house or yard.

The inMotion Air also connects wirelessly to any other Bluetooth-enabled platform; you can stream music from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch from up to 33 feet away. Audio devices can also be connected through the speaker's AUX input.

High Quality Sound with apt-X Audio Coding

The inMotion Air features apt-X technology, developed to preserve the fidelity of music while it is being transmitted wirelessly. This technology carefully decodes music files and transmits them to the speaker in real time, while minimizing latency and eliminating feedback. The result is CD-quality performance that is nearly indistinguishable from that of a normal stereo.

Full-Featured Remote and Rechargeable Battery

The inMotion Air comes with a remote control, which gives you wireless access to the main functions of iTunes, Windows Media Player, and most other music software. You'll be able to pause, rewind, and skip tracks without having to return to your computer. The remote also allows you to adjust the speaker's volume, treble, and bass to suit your listening preferences.

The speaker runs on a rechargeable battery that supports up to seven hours of playback on a single charge. Its compact design and carrying handle make it easy for you to take it with you wherever you go.

Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)
Length: 8:09 Mins
This is an absolutely amazing speaker that just blows me away. I am completely enthralled with the capabilities that the speaker has. It is a wireless (or wired, your choice) speaker system with built-in, lithium-ion battery. It has a very pleasing sound quality coupled with a surprising amount of volume given the small size of the enclosure not to mention the light weight of the entire unit.

I absolutely love this speaker and will explain why.

I have been involved with music as a professional DJ since 1985. I listen to music incessantly. I'm always looking for less clutter in my life and with my equipment. To be able to have a speaker that is wireless is a big deal since it removes all the hassles that having wired connections involves. What's brilliant about the design of this Altec Lansing inMotion speaker system is that it offers two types of wireless connectivity. Bluetooth and a USB transmitter dongle. Bluetooth wireless enables iPod, iPad, iPhone connectivity (or other compatible bluetooth devices to connect.) The other option, a USB transmitter dongle that can be plugged into any computer, laptop or desktop enables connectivity for non-bluetooth devices, or where you need greater range. But what good is a speaker if it doesn't also sound great. This does sound great. It has a brightness and clarity this is very pleasing to my ears. Admittedly it is lacking in the bass area, but I found the sound to be balanced and the lack of "more" bass was not a negative for me.

Suddenly, I am able to have my iPhone play my music wirelessly using bluetooth to the Altec Lansing speaker. And since the speaker also has a built-in battery, I can take it anywhere. It's not that big, only about 13 inches long, 4 inches high and 5 inches deep.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic sound, terrible customer service August 16, 2011
Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)
I have quite a mixed reaction to this product. When I first got it, I was surprised by how light the speaker was. It was very easy to setup and to pair my Blackberry with this speaker via blue-tooth. When I played the music.....I was blown away! The sound was beautiful. It was really clear and with enough bass that my wife and I were both very impressed. My wife loves bass while I prefer more treble and clarity. It's really impressive that we were both very satisfied with the sound!

But onto the bad news. This comes with a USB transmitter that you plug into your computer so that you can play songs from your PC on the speaker. For me (I use Windows XP) drivers installed automatically and everything seemed to be set up okay. Except that the USB transmitter couldn't pair with the speaker. I tried it again and again, and on different PCs, power-cycling, etc. But as of today it's still not working. I find that amazing since it's the transmitter that they ship with the product. I don't think they even tested it! And like others, I've tried emailing customer support many times with no response. It has been 16 days now with nothing more than automated responses indicating that someone will contact me within 3 business days!

If I hear back from customer support, I'll update my review. But till then, I just wanted to share that the sound is really fantastic. But the USB transmitter they shipped didn't work, and there's practically no customer support on this product right now.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, all around wireless speaker August 3, 2011
Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)
The Altec-Lansing iMW725 inMotion speaker is a handsome dark-gray parallelogram of a box. The front and back sides are sloped and there is a deep recess in the back for a handle that makes it easy to carry around. While it can be connected via a standard stereo miniplug, it's the Bluetooth wireless that really makes it so versatile.

The Altec-Lansing paired easily with both my iPhone 3GS and my iPad 2, though you must repeat the pairing process if you switch devices, first telling the latest device to "forget" the Altec-Lansing if it had paired before. The audio quality over Bluetooth was very good, considering the size of the box. Bass wasn't window-rattling, but the sound was clear, undistorted, and it could play quite loud. It is said to be able to connect up to 10 meters (33 feet) "open air". In my house, it got to about 20-25 feet before breaking up, but still had some connectivity at 30 feet.

Also included is a Class 1 Bluetooth dongle that plugs into a USB port on a computer (PC or Mac). This is rated up to 100 meters (333 feet). I had some breakup at about 40 feet through two walls on the same level as the dongle (which has a swing-up antenna), but when I went upstairs, even further away, it was fine. The inMotion automatically pairs with the dongle if it is active, even if it had been paired with something else before, but if not, there is a pair button on the dongle.

The controls on the box itself are power, Pair/Source-select, volume up and down, previous and next track and pause. There is also a nifty remote control that slides securely into a recess in the back - this has the same functions (except Pair - it does have a source button), and adds mute.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not a lot of bass, but excellent sound February 21, 2012
By deslock
I recently picked up an iMW725 for $141.

Its sound quality is far better than my other battery powered speakers and docks. It's crisp and clear with decent stereo separation and has the ability to fill a small room with ambiance. Unfortunately low-end bass is a bit lacking, though mid-range bass is decent (so bass drums clip even at moderate volume while bass guitar sounds fine). But the same is true for all portable speakers... you just can't get a lot of thump out of a small driver. Even the Bose Soundlink's bass is limited (and the iMW725, though weak, is more defined).

The iMW725 form factor makes it stable and the integrated handle is convenient. It's portable enough for moving around the house or yard, and bringing on suitcase trips. However, its size/shape isn't conducive to a knapsack/carry-on, and I'll leave them at home when I pack light.

Overall these speakers are satisfying and every aspect of their sound quality absolutely demolishes tiny portables like the Jawbone Jambox and Monster ClarityHD (a trade-off for size). Since the iMW725 is often compared to the Bose Soundlink, and since they're the only two battery powered bluetooth speakers I've heard that sound decent, it's worth mentioning that I'd still choose the iMW725 even if the Soundlink cost the same (because the Soundlink is comparatively muddy and lacks separation). To be fair, the Soundlink is more portable.

Rating: Between 4 and 5 stars, rounded down (I'd give them 5 stars if they had a subwoofer dock for when plugged in).
