Portable music players fit nicely on the rubberised base
Retractable minijack cord
Speakers tilt at any angle
Can be powered with batteries
The bad:
No remote control
Slightly large and heavy compared with other small speaker sets
The bottomline:
The Altec Lansing iM4 finally delivers the bass we've been craving in small portable speakers, and they're not iPod-centric, so you can use them with any MP3 player.
