If you're looking for a high-powered playmate for your iPhone or iPod that can take to the road whenever you do, consider the Altec Lansing MIX BoomBox - IMT810. Simply dock one of your iDevices into the universal dock to hear crystal-clear tunes, whether you like Mozart or metal. If that's not enough, the unit has an FM radio so you can hear your favorite stations, or you can connect an additional audio device to one of the unit's two auxiliary input jacks.
Serving up your music are dual tweeters, dual mid-range drivers and a 5.25" subwoofer for full-range audio with thumping bass. The unit features Audio Alignment for balanced audio with multiple equalization modes, and its interference-free design eliminates interference from mobile phones. This design also means that if you take the MIX BoomBox on a plane, you won't have to switch to "Airplane Mode."
In addition to its sonic prowess, the MIX BoomBox boasts several convenient features for ease of use. You'll be able to see the artist, track and station display on the high-contrast LCD display so you won't skip a beat. And, never worry about missing a call on your iPhone while you're jamming out to the tunes -- the unit automatically mutes your music so you'll hear it ring. And for when you want to take your new MIX BoomBox on the road, no worries. If you aren't around a wall outlet, you can enjoy non-stop music for up to 30 hours when you use batteries (not included).
When you're in more spacious surroundings, you can adjust speakers, playlist and navigate songs from a distance using the included remote control -- or, if you're close to the unit you can use the onboard controls. Meanwhile, the convenient grab handles make it easy to carry. All in all the MIX BoomBox is a versatile, full-featured rocker that pairs seamlessly with iDevices and can pump out your favorite tunes with balanced, full-bodied sound.

Comments about Altec Lansing MIX BoomBox - IMT810:
Good for working outside and car camping. Good indoor sound as well. Plenty loud and good bass/mid/treble balance. Sounds better than anything I tested under $400. Not audiophile quality but neither is the sound coming from an Ipod.

Comments about Altec Lansing MIX BoomBox - IMT810:
I recently got this speaker system as a Christmas present but had to return it because it shipped with a broken handle. It was not problem, as B&H was good about sending a new one. The sound quality and power is excellent for my college dorm room, and I can't wait to try it out outside in the spring. As for problems, the power button takes 2-3 presses before it actually turns on, and the boom box does not include batteries. Other than these very minor setbacks, so far these speakers have been fantastic for both music from my iphone as well as music and video game audio from my computer. I definitely do not regret receiving this product.

The sound quality is fantastic, warm and enveloping. The equalizing feature is helpful to reduce bass in certain situations, i.e. talk radio, home theater.

This box sounds great and works great for small rooms.
I only give it 4stars because the first one I recieved had a bad display.
A quick return to BH and now I have working as it should.
They have great service and made the return easy.
