Altec Lansing Orbit, One of the best things I purchased this year. July 23, 2008

On and off can be a bit difficult, the secret is not to squeeze the ring too tight, it would be great if it had a on LED, suppose that would drain the batteries quicker though.
Sound quality is fantastic and seems to cope with all music and voice ranges well, Compliments my iPhone colour scheme 100% and looks great, even comes with the small headphone plug so you won't need an adaptor to use on your iPhone or iPod socket, battery life seems ok but would recommend 3 AAA Duracell's.

Great Sound for Size and Price June 24, 2008

I have tried loads of MP3 portable speakers and for the size and price these are the best I have heard. Small and light they present no problem to slip into your luggage and yet deliver a big enough sound for any hotel room. Bright highs and good bass (for a portable speaker) gives an easy on the ear listening experience. Mono sound it may be but with speakers this size it's not something you are going to miss. Battery life from the 3 AAA's appears good. I took mine away for a week and played it every evening in the hotel and they are still going strong.
Highly recommend this product

I have just bought this while on holiday in the US. I wanted a portable speaker for my iPod, and this was one of the cheapest in the store, so I wasn't too sure whether it would be any good. However, I knew that Altec have a good reputation.
I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the sound. which is clear and bright. I haven't tried it on the loudest setting as I am in a hotel room, and don't want to upset the other residents!
Initially I found it hard to turn the speaker to the off/on position, but it has become easier. I'm also using rechargeable batteries, as it seems to use them quite heavily.
 Stunning sound December 12, 2007

Considering the limitation of the speakers employed this tiny item punches well above it's weight. I have connected the speaker to my desk top computer, sat nav and Snow Fox MP3 player and never been let down by the lack of punch and clarity.
In fact placed centrally in a collegues 53 seat coach, whilst parked up, the sound spread around and down the entire vehicle (40') which is something I did not expect. in the larger space of my company's staff mness room it managed a creditable performance in an area 120' x 40'ceratinly sufficient to provide a clear mabient sound without being stressed and distorted.
The EQ setting on the Snow Fox is very basic but with the unit in "pop" mode the bass is present and the trebles are clean with little or no distortion.
The only gripe is with the on/off switch which is infuriating to operate and feels as though it is a couple of grit particles not electrical contacts, squeeze too hard and nothing happens; relax and the soft twist completes the switching operation. B*st*rd thing!!!!
This is the only down side of this neat unit and something that A.L. need to address before they have a host of broken units returned because the switch is an utter, utter pain in the fundamentals!!
My wife and I have an orbit each and my colleague was so impressed by the combination of Snow Fox and Orbit speaker that I am buying him one to add to his collection of "travel gadgets" and have no doubt that his wife wil also at some point benefit from her own Orbit in the not too distant future.
I would recommend the unit to those who like my collegue and I travel a good deal and have litle space to carry larger bulky items but want a "room" filling sound without too many complexities.
