Altec Lansing inMotion MAX Portable iPod/iPhone Speaker System Review

This was a first for me….Altec Lansing‘s Docking Audio project manager, Steve Schlangen asked if we could discuss the inMotion MAX (iMT702) prior to my review. I enjoyed our discussion a great deal; we talked about the iMT702’s capabilities, industrial and functional design plus a few words hinting at the future. It was a nice experience talking with a person involved in the creation of a great new tech product. Steve’s pride and excitement about the MAX came through load and clear.

I enjoy listening to music at my day job, but there are a couple issues with regular earphones that make this activity less than ideal.

Then there’s the issue of ear comfort… it doesn’t take long for most earbuds to hurt my ears. This is especially true of in-ear style buds. That’s why I was really looking forward to reviewing a set of bone conduction headphones, when I received a pair from Audio Bone. Let’s see if they solve both of my problems…

Arriva Shuffle Headphones Review

A few months ago or so, Arriva created a new listening device for Apple’s second and third generation iPod shuffle – the “clip”

I’ve reviewed more iPod silicone skin style cases than I care to remember or admit ;o) As a result, when a new company approaches me to review their skin case, I’m not all that excited about the prospect. ifrogz is a company that has sent me skins to review in the past. They actually offer one of the better products on the market in that genre, so my eyes didn’t immediately glaze over when I saw their email offer to review the Audiowrapz silicone case for the iPod nano 3G.
