 Waiting November 16, 2008
Mine had what my husband calls 'speaker rattle.' I was heartbroken. The sound was spectacular except that even at 50% of volume and bass, my unit made a buzzing sound. I've returned it for an exchange and I hope I just happened to get a lemon and the next one will be perfect. Electronics Expo was very responsive and sent me a UPS sticker to make the return without costing me a cent. I will add to my review as soon as I get my replacement IM7! I need good sound and good bass really badly!
 Great Sound & Features, Bad Door Design November 16, 2008
I love the sound and the remote features and all of the ports on the back. However, after using it for several months, the DOOR will not close anymore. I have to use packing tape to keep it 'closed' and I have to use the cord that connects the iPod to the input jack on the back. Therefore, the iPod does not charge and constantly is using its own batteries. It is too bad that this system has a bad door design, otherwise, I would have given it five stars +!
 This Thing BOOMS! November 3, 2008
Overall, been very happy with this system. I bought it for my son for cross-country meets. He's a part-time DJ, so his bass demands are pretty high. This definitely delivered! We're very pleased with the sound quality and volume out of this. The battery life seems better than advertised, as well. The batteries held up for a bus trip to So. Ca. and back, 7 hours each way, no problem. Definitely go for the handle/strap device. It holds the unit securely and adds convenience, even if it does look like an S&M device...
After 3 Years, it still rocks!! October 18, 2008
I bought this from Costco 3 years ago. Sound quality is awesome. It has even been on my airplane baggage twice. Other than the metel screen a little dented, I've got no issues. I went back to costco to see if I can upgrade. After playing around with all of them, nothing came in close to the sound quality the IM7 has. I don't remember the name of the setup I was testing out, but it did have it's own seperate sub. It was no even close to the IM7. The reason I was looking for a new Speaker dock was because I got a new 2nd Gen Ipod Touch. It does not fit in the tray with the Ipod protecter case. IT DOES HOWEVER FIT THE IPOD TOUCH. Just incase someone is searching on google to find the answer like I just did now. Altec Lansing IM7 does fit the Ipod Touch 2nd Gen. Sounds awesome too.
awesome for the first 6 months, then quickly downhill October 16, 2008
My sister bought this unit and I was blown away by the sound quality. I put it on my wish list and received it for christmas. For the first 6 months it worked great. Then my cats chewed my remote and it didn't work so I had to start using the buttons on the top of the unit. They lost sensitivity to the point where they barely worked after about 2 or 3 months. In the next month or two, the Ipod cradle got some type of short in it and only plays in one speaker unless you hold it half-way closed. Had to resort to connecting my Ipod via an external audio cable for full stereo sound, which means that it no longer gets charged while in use. If this thing cost $50 it might be worth it but since it is much more than that, my advice would be to skip it. My sister's has the same problems and mine even seemed to develop faster than hers, suggesting that the inferior quality is getting worse as production continues. Way overpriced for the quality.
