Bass is overpowered at higher volumes, No iPod browsing via remote, poor FM indoors, no clock & alarm function
The Altec Lansing MIX iMT800 sells for Rs. 20,000 with a one-year warranty. The pricing of iPod Docks have always been expensive, as expensive as the cost of the iPod. So, in order to have such good music you'd need to shell out as much or sometimes m...

Distinct design; excellent sound; FM radio; two auxiliary inputs placed on the top of the unit for easy access; portable (powered by 8 D batteries); slot for storing remote, which also clips onto a belt.
Pricey; no AM radio; no rechargeable battery; no video outputs.
Powerful output, Portable, welldesigned for use on the move, Great overall design, A full, beefy sound (rare on iPod docks!)
Heavy, No internal battery, requires LR20 (Dsize) batteries
The MIX certainly won't go unnoticed in your living room. However, for a barbecue, on the beach or in the garden, this boombox will keep you and your friends dancing though the night ... so long as you remember to stock up on batteries!...
No dedicated buttons for controlling the music source; iPhone and iPod playback is easily interrupted; no volume-equalisation feature
The Altec Lansing Mix offers the appearance and audio of a great party boom box, but start-stop music playback and volume discrepancies between sound inputs mean that it's unlikely to raise the roof more than a few inches ...
Priced at £269, this is more of an investment than an impulse purchase. Maybe we’ve been won over by its charm, but we like to think that the Altec Lansing Mix iMT800 will stand the test of time — it’s well designed, well constructe...
Abstract: My recently acquired iPod Nano 5th generation got an outing here. However hands up those who remember the ghetto blasters those of a certain age carried on their shoulders that will give you an idea of the size of this interesting product....
Its bombastic styling might not be to all tastes, but unlike many classic boomboxes from back in the day, the iMT800 is not all show and has a generosity of sound you don't normally get with iPod docks. Having room for a 5.25in subwoofer certainly hel...
Some things about the 80s belong there, and the iMT800's size and near-7kg weight will be a real turn-off for some. With an RRP of £270, meanwhile, there's nothing old-fashioned about the price tag, and for that kind of money we'd expect...
Of all the possible words you could use to describe the iMT800 Boombox, ordinary isn't likely to be one of them. Its in-your-face design means you'll probably love it or hate it, but it does have plenty going on beyond that in case you haven't...
Abstract: It often doesn’t take much alteration to keep a great product on top as time goes on, and Altec Lansing has proven that by revving its iMT800 “MIX” boombox for iPhone and iPod of a year and a half ago into the new iMT810 version which is reviewed her...
