User Ratings and Reviews
4 Stars Great little dock for the price!
I love this! It is not very big, but it can really play. As long as you don’t crank it too high, the sound quality is great. As long as you don’t expect it to be heard throughout your entire home, you will enjoy this. Comes with multiple attachments for the different player models. My iPod classic fits just perfectly with no adapter.
5 Stars Works Great!
I purchased the Cyber Acoustics Docking Speakers based on the reviews by others. I just received it (within 2 days of ordering), plugged it in and popped in the Ipod Classic. It works great. It actually has a nice sound for what it is. I’m very impressed. Don’t expect to crank this and blow out your neighbors, but if you want to listen music in a room or two or three, then this is exactly what you want. For the money, it is an excellent deal. I would recommend this product.
2 Stars not impressed
I wanted to like this little docking speaker for its size and price and ordered it because of all the great reviews. But honestly, I really can’t say anything good about the sound quality and wonder how anyone could be satisfied with the sound of this unit. (Yes, I have tried adjusting the equalizer) Tinny, shallow, raspy sound - it doesn’t even sound as good as my Phillips kitchen radio! I am a classical musician, but hardly an audiophile. I definitely would not recommend this product. I gave it two stars to be fair - it was low priced and maybe you just get what you pay for.
2 Stars Maybe I was listening to a different device than everyone else
After reading all the glowing reviews about the great sound, I ordered this as opposed to the JBL, figuring the only thing that’s missing is remote control. The sound quality is nothing to write home about. It turns out that there are no miracles, and you get what you pay for. If you’re looking for an inexpensive dock that sounds better than a clock radio, but not by much, then get this. But don’t think you’ll be able to use this to provide music at a party, unless it’s in a nursing home.
5 Stars Even better than expected
For the price, I was expecting a decent sounding machine. This little dock exceeded my expectations. For an average size room, it has plenty of volume, clean sound, and surprisingly good bass.
Altec Lansing T612 Digital Speaker for iPod and iPhone Black
April 7, 2009 by DigiBliss · Leave a Comment
Listen to rich, distortion-free sound from your iPhone without missing any calls with the Altec Lansing T612 Digital Speaker for iPod and iPhone. Designed to complement the iPhone and certified to meet all “Works with iPhone” and “Works with iPhone 3G” requirements, the T612 won’t pick up any of the annoying hum that mobile phones often emit, meaning you can leave your iPhone on and not in airplane mode.
|
XdB bass-enhancement gives deep powerful bass without a subwoofer. View larger. |
Big, Full-Bodied Sound
Employing four specially engineered drivers (two 3-inch full-range drivers and two silkdome 1-inch tweeters), the T612 offers smooth, rich sound through the full audio spectrum. Even without a subwoofer, the bass is deep and powerful, thanks to the XdB bass-enhancement technology. The T612 provides a system response from 60 Hz to 20 kHz.
The built-in amplification provides 60 Watts of power RMS (120 Watts Peak), enough power to fill an entire room with dynamic music.
No More Mobile Interference
Unlike most speaker systems, the T612 is shielded from the noise emitted by mobile phones. The upshot is that you won’t miss any phone calls because you don’t need to put your iPhone in airplane mode just to listen to your music. When you do receive a call, the T612 will automatically pause the music to ensure that you hear your call.
Elegant, Versatile Design
With a minimalist and elegant silver-and-black design, the T612 will look great placed on a table in your living room or mounted on the wall. (A wall-mounting kit is available separately.) A built-in dock places your iPhone or dockable iPod at an easy-to-see angle in the center of the system while charging it. Also, an auxiliary stereo input lets you connect another MP3 or CD player to the system.
A wireless remote is included, allowing you to control such functions as track forward/back, volume, and bass/treble levels from across the room.
The Altec Lansing T612 is backed by a one-year warranty.
What’s in the Box
T612 speaker system, remote control with battery, 3.5mm stereo cable, power supply, user manual and quick connect guide.

5 Stars great audio machine!!!
No doubt about it, it is the best item i purchased for the past 12 months.
As it arrive I haven’t stop utilizing it…
The product is just great, perfect for IPhone music play
5 Stars Great Speaker!
I bought this speaker to use with my iPhone 3G. It has excellent sound and can quickly charge the phone while you are listening to music.
I looked at a bunch of other speakers before deciding on this particular model. I think it sounds just as good as much more expensive speakers I’ve seen. It has a good solid feel to it and is well made.
One problem I had was the iPhone wasn’t recognized at first, but this is easily solved by removing the plastic tray that the speaker comes with.
This allows the phone to sit properly on the docking area.
4 Stars GGGGRRREEAATTT sound! iPod Touch 2nd Gen!
I’ve got an iPod Touch 32gb 2nd gen and it works great. Really loud and some good bass! I also use it for remote speakers via Airport Express for deck parties!
5 Stars Communications is the problem
I have an Itouch Gen 1 but this may apply to both Gens. Sent back first since the “adaptor” appeared to be missing and Itouch wouldn’t “dock” or “seat” properly in unit. Second one the same thing but I noticed with pressure, it would connect. After 2 min. with AL on phone, I discovered that the “adapter” being referred to was already installed in the dock?!
Ok, I used a butter knife to remove it, gently now, from the dock and my Itouch seated perfectly and it plays just great.
Both the Amazon retailer and AL the first time kept mentioning looking for adaptors but this is a plastic plate covering that looks like it belongs there permanently. It doesn’t and they should explain this more completely in the instruction which they don’t. Now you know how to use the Touch w/o going crazy and returning a great unit.
5 Stars Great product
This product is substantially better designed than any other iPhone compatable speaker system. Receiving calls and texts while listening to music is so important I can’t understand why anyone would buy a speaker system that doesn’t have that capability. Especially considering the competitive price of this unit.
Altec Lansing iM600 USB Charging Portable Speaker System with FM Receiver for iPod Black
April 7, 2009 by DigiBliss · Leave a Comment
With its well-regarded inMotion system, Altec Lansing has raised the bar again with the iM600USB, offering full play and chargeability for all iPod models with a 30-pin connector. Featuring a myriad of exciting technologies, the iM600USB offers big, crystal-clear sound, and it folds up compactly for easy portability.
|
With Expanded Sound Stage technology, the speakers sound further apart than they really are for a bigger soundstage. View larger. View Remote. |
Superior Sound in a Small Package
Employing dual two-inch neodymium drivers that are optimized for high-frequency sound, the iM600USB offers unmatched musicality and clarity. Despite its compact size, the bass is punchy and has good extension, and with Altec Lansing’s Expanded Sound Stage (ESS) technology, the speakers will sound further apart than they actually are, for a greater stereophonic image.
Elegant Design Matches the iPod
The iM600USB sports a distinctive thin and elegant glossy-black look. A spring-loaded button deploys the speaker’s stand and reveals the iPod dock, power button, and volume controls.
Your iPod perches front and center, resting at an angle to display the current track information and album art while recharging. If your iPod model has the alarm clock and sleep timer features, they will work seamlessly with the iM600USB.
Various docking adapters are included, making the iM600USB compatible with most iPods. Also, an auxiliary input lets you connect any CD, DVD, or MP3 player using a stereo mini-plug.
Built-in FM Tuner
If you get bored with the songs on your iPod, the iM600USB has a built-in FM tuner, letting you listen to your favorite music and talk radio. Near the top of the unit is an LCD that displays the current FM frequency; buttons on top provide tuning controls. The tuner also features a memory for four presets and a telescoping antenna for better reception.
Change the Music from Across the Room
A small remote control is included, letting you change the musical selection from across the room. A storage slot built into the system itself makes it easy to store the remote, preventing you from losing it behind couch cushions and other inconvenient places.
Take Your Music To-Go
With a compact size that folds closed to a mere 11 x 1.7 x 6 inches (W x D x H), and weighing only 2.1 pounds, the iM600USB is easy to take with you to the beach, on vacation, or wherever you else you’re going. The built-in rechargeable Li-Ion battery lets you listen to more than 7 hours of continuous play. An AC adapter is included for connected listening and recharging the battery.
The Altec Lansing iM600USB is backed by a one-year warranty.
What’s in the Box
iM600USB speaker system, wireless remote, iPod docking adapters, power supply, user’s guide and quick connect instructions.

5 Stars Great sound, protable and charges 4G Nano
Sounds great and charges my 4G Nano. Just the right size for great sound and portability. I take it with me in my suitcase every week.
3 Stars Dock doesn’t work with my IPOD classic
The IM600USB I purchased through Amazon is a very nice product. The sound quality is excellent. However, on the down side, it doesn’t seem to support my IPOD classic 30GB (must be too early a generation). The AUX input works fine for both my classic IPOD and my IPOD shuffle. The FM is pretty clear if the antenna is extended fully. There are some annoying buzzing/static sounds that sometimes come from the speakers probably due to interference with something nearby. I am disappointed that my IPOD is not supported but I guess I need to buy a more recent IPOD to enjoy the docking function. Otherwise, the AUX input will have to do for now.
4 Stars Great little ipod dock
Picked this up so I could use it at work. I use it as a speaker system for my slacker G1. I like the L-ion rechargeable battery. It doesn’t last 7 hours at full volume. I had to charge it up during breaks to get it to last the shift.
The sound is quite good. It doesn’t have thunderous bass but that’s OK. It makes up for it in other areas. Pleasent midrange and treble. Never sounds shreiky or harsh. I work in an automobile assembly plant and it plays loud enough for me to hear it.
It also is a nice looking unit. It’s lightweight and because of it’s compact size it fits rather nicely in a padded zipper case that I can carry into work.
The FM radio is a nice feature. Reception is terrible in the plant. Comes with a little remote control. Would have been nice if there was someplace snug to secure the remote. You can close it up in the base but when you open it up, it just falls out.
I should mention that this piece is value priced. You get a very nice portable speaker system without emptying out your wallet. I like that.
All in all, I am very happy with my purchase and don’t plan to look for a replacement any time soon. For me, that’s saying a lot.
5 Stars Great Sound!
This has great sound and is so compact for travel. I have a Bose sounddock also and this is comparable and less than half the price. Very pleased with it.
3 Stars Great for IPOD, so so for FM
I just sent my 2d IM600USB back to Amazon. I had no IPOD issues,even with the nano G4. I really wanted the FM option. The FM radio option did not work at an acceptable level on either unit, outdoors included. My $20.00 boom box does a much better FM radio.

5 Stars Great Supplier!!!
OUTSTANDING service and more-than-fair pricing. My four 2005 AT&T phones work like new again. Thanks…
4 Stars Keeps a charge!
These replacement batteries do EXACTLY what they are supposed to and without paying $15.00 or more a piece. Had them for over 1 month and they charged, and have kept their charge as good if not better than the ones that came with the phone.
No complaints, other than wishing I would have replaced my old batteries sooner!
God bless!
5 Stars Phone (wireless) AT&T replacement battery
To replace the unit batteries (4) for our home system would have cost @ $80.00. Using this service saved over half the costs. They fit, they charged perfectly and are working fine. I received my order in the time specified. They were new and I’m completely satisfied. Thanks for the opportunity to attest to your service/product.
5 Stars So far, So Good
I have had the replacement battery for my AT&T wireless phone for almost 4 weeks now and is working just fine, only time will tell in regards to battery durability.
5 Stars what I needed
The battery fit perfectly. It had been very difficult to find in stores but eBatteries had exactly what I needed for my phone.
Bracketron UFM 100BL Nav Mat GPS Friction Dash Pad
April 7, 2009 by DigiBliss · Leave a Comment
Compatible with most portable GPS receivers / Weighted, antiskid design securely holds your GPS receiver to your dashboard
User Ratings and Reviews
4 Stars Does the Job Well
Keeps the GPS off the windshield and below the field of essential vision while driving. Stable platform, but could be more flexible to fit undulating dashboards. Security is better while parked because the whole fixture can be set down on the floor and not stuck on the windshield to draw the attention of thieves. I bought one for each of my two cars, but use only one (readily transferrable). I offered the other to my nephew, but he already had bought one and likes it.
5 Stars Stays put, works great
Recently purchased the Nav Mat and couldn’t be happier. Took it on a 4 hour trip and the GPS stayed put and worked great. Previously, we would hand hold the GPS because suctioning it to the window was a vision hazard. I also leave the Nav Mat on my dashboard and use it to hold my cell phone or sunglasses. Would recommend this to anyone who uses a window suction GPS.
5 Stars Problem Solved
This little product solved 2 problems for me: 1) suction cup ghosts on the windshield and 2) long stretches to adjust my Garmin 265wt GPS while attached to the windshield suction cup. The first problem of course leaves a tell-tale mark that is easy for thieves to spot. That problem is solved because I simply move the dash pad to the floor of the vehicle.
The second problem is just a plain old pain in the ____, well you get the idea. Actually, it’s a pain in the neck and shoulders to reach/stretch that far. Not to mention the possible safety issues of being too far out of the driver comfort zone.
I’m using this dash pad in a Pontiac Montana Van which has an uneven dashboard surface, i.e, no flat spots where the dash pad can have great contact. Regardless, the dash pad has functioned flawlessly for me. It has not moved a single inch, even on sharp curves. I’ve been very impressed.
And for a low price of ~$14, this makes this very functional problem solver a real bargain.
5 Stars great product for CA drivers
I recently found it that it’s illegal to have a GPS mounted to the windshield here in CA, glad someone told me. This product is great for placing your GPS unit anywhere on your dashboard. I have a Garmin GPS and the height seems to be perfect, just over the lip of the pad. I like the fact I can slide the pad around and have the passenger use it (while I drive) and then be able to move it back over to my side where I can see the map.
The pad is heavy so it doesn’t tend to move unless you really turn a corner quickly, but even then barely tends to slide.
I would highly recommend this product.
2 Stars Compatability of dash pad mounts withTomToms
This fraction dash pad without an open front will not work with TomTom One XL. You must have an open front to allow the power cord which directly comes out of the bottom of the unit to otherwise conflict with a closed front. The newer TomToms have their power cords emanate from the back of the unit.
