5.0 out of 5 stars Great sound for such a little device!, October 26, 2006

I was shopping for an iPod alarm clock, and finally got one, an iLive, but the sound was horrible. So I decided to just get some iPod speakers, and use the iPod's alarm function.

I brought my iPod into Target and set it on different speakers to see how it sounded. This one was one of the best sounding out of all of them. Sure the $250 were a little better, but this one seemed pretty close to me, and it's very small, and has a 24 hour battery life running on 4 AA's. You can also use the AC adapter for power.

It sounds great, and I'm very pleased with the size. The one from Best Buy had bad sound, and was big and bulky.

Another thing that is nice is that it also comes with a carrying case for traveling with it.

I'd definitely reccommend these speakers for your iPod!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great portable speaker, September 10, 2007

The sound quality of the IM3c is very good at the mid to low level. This speaker system is solely used in my office, so cranking it up too loud is not an option. Its compact size makes it easy to place virtually anywhere. One feature I really like is the volume stays the same after turning the unit back on after it has been shut down, unlike the "JBL On Stage".

3.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy if you have a Blackberry, December 27, 2007

The speakers are fine by themselves; however, I wanted them for my office, and my company also happens to issue Blackberries to employees. The speakers are apparently not "shielded", and therefore emits a loud "buzz" every time the Blackberry checks for messages or receives calls (every 3-5 minutes). Super annoying. Other than covering my phone in tinfoil, there's no way to stop it, so I will be returning the speakers for a higher quality shielded set.
