Great Portable System for you iPhone

The inMotion Max is a great buy. It’s easy to bring with you to the office, has great sound and works well with the iPod and iPhone.

Design:
With a modern design the style of this speaker system is one of kind. a retractable dock for your iPod-iPhone, fold down stand and remote control storage slot makes it easy to pack up and take with you.The inMotion MAX is the perfect size. Not too big, not too small...Just right.

Sound:
Sound quality is comparable to larger premium speaker systems but it’s a lot more affordable. With 4 speakers, the power is spread out enough to allow for more performance per speaker. It’s also built so the sound will not be bothered with GSM interference from the iPhone.

Functionality:
The inMotion max has all the goodies you need in a portable desk speaker system. Including: FM radio with multiple presets, iPod-iPhone playlist and song navigation which are also available on the remote control. An AM Radio would be nice but for me there is only 1 AM station I listen to and they also stream across the web, so the lack of AM radio became a non issue.

Summary:
The perfect desktop companion. Easy to use, great sound, portable design, and sleek look. The top controls can be a little touchy and not always the most responsive but they get the job done.

Overview

Overview

Fair

This is my first IPOD speaker system so I am fairly unfamiliar with these types of items. I can tell you that the inMotion Max sounds exceptionally well with a focus on highs and mids. If you are looking for a system with more base you should look for something for else. This system sounded nice with Elton John, Sarah Brightman and Garbage, but didn't sound good with anything that had an emphasis on bass or lows. The system sounds crisp at low to mid volume ranges but can become slightly separated at upper ends of the volume range. I don't listen to music too loud these days, so this inMotion Max seems to be right for me.

Overall, the system is clean and doesn't take up too much room and looks fairly nice compared to what I saw out there at Best Buy. If you're looking for something with more WHOOP, the Bose sounded fuller and more explosive, but it is almost double the price. I would recommend this system to a friend that does not listen to hip hop or rap.
