Altec Lansing iM-237 Orbit Ultraportable Speaker for MP3 Players
Something wrong. That is all I can say about it.
I got it at home,put new batteries on it, tried and it was working just fine. Put it inside the protective case, that by the way is realy nice, and went sleep.To my surprise when I tried to use it in the other day it was not working, I changed the batteries and nothing happened. After analyzing what had happened, I got the conclusion that when I close the protective case, the power switch gets in the way of the zipper, in a way that when closed it, the power switch stayed pressed for a long time, and that’s what I think that made it stop working. In my opinion there is something wrong with it, either the protective case either the placement of the power switch. And all of that happened from the 24th to the 25th of December. Great.

The sound quality was acceptable, but the battery cover was difficult to install and the off/on switch was not positive in setting. The main problem was that it quit working after about six hours usage.

May be i was not lucky, but the speaker was defected.
Made annoying noise after 2 minutes of playing.
Well, I returned the speaker.

The speaker worked alright for a couple of days. Although the volume wasn’t what I expected. When the volume was all the way up the sound was garbled. A couple of days later the speaker died on me. It started squealing, turning off and on by itself. Had to remove the batteries when I threw it out because it was turning it self on in the garbage and freaking out my neighbors. Waste of money.

I bought this to use with my iPod while traveling. When it came, I tested it out at home. The sound was so incredibly awful that I didn’t even make it through one song. It sounded like the pocket transistor radio I had in the early 60’s!
In addition, the on/off switch takes just a bump (as in a suitcase) to get turned on, which could result in used up batteries. And no amount of wrestling with it would get it into its extremely tight-fitting case.
I have a larger portable Altec-Lansing stereo speaker for my iPod at home and I love it. This is WAY below their usual high standards.
