 Excellent and cheap April 16, 2008

I have just bought this while on holiday in the US. I wanted a portable speaker for my iPod, and this was one of the cheapest in the store, so I wasn't too sure whether it would be any good. However, I knew that Altec have a good reputation.
I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the sound. which is clear and bright. I haven't tried it on the loudest setting as I am in a hotel room, and don't want to upset the other residents!
Initially I found it hard to turn the speaker to the off/on position, but it has become easier. I'm also using rechargeable batteries, as it seems to use them quite heavily.

Great Sound for Size and Price June 24, 2008

I have tried loads of MP3 portable speakers and for the size and price these are the best I have heard. Small and light they present no problem to slip into your luggage and yet deliver a big enough sound for any hotel room. Bright highs and good bass (for a portable speaker) gives an easy on the ear listening experience. Mono sound it may be but with speakers this size it's not something you are going to miss. Battery life from the 3 AAA's appears good. I took mine away for a week and played it every evening in the hotel and they are still going strong.
Highly recommend this product
Altec Lansing Orbit, One of the best things I purchased this year. July 23, 2008

On and off can be a bit difficult, the secret is not to squeeze the ring too tight, Sound quality is fantastic and seems to cope with all music and voice ranges well, Compliments my iPhone colour scheme 100% and looks great, even comes with the small headphone plug so you won't need an adaptor to use on your iPhone or iPod socket, battery life seems ok but would recommend 3 AAA Duracell's. I added the following to this review 24/10/08, cable split around stereo plug, contacted altec by email and it took them 14 days to respond, in the meantime i had contacted Amazon who replaced it within a few days, dont know what the telephone support for altec is like but I was not prepared to ring the premium rate number.
Hope this helps.
Very satisfied - get one! September 9, 2008

I finally got one of these last weekend and I must say it is way better that I expected!
For such a small unit, it is seriously LOUD and actually has some bass too. Works well with any genre of music...as My girlfriend found - she hogged the thing for most of our trip!
I used mine with a Sansa e270 and an iPod Shuffle. Great by the pool, booming in the hotel room with no complaints.
I imagine it will a great aid for getting my on back - on those lovely people who use their mobiles to play loud, annoying, tinny, music on public transport! Tee-hee!
A good, no-fuss product, which you won't regret buying.
