  1. Altec Lansing T612 Digital Speaker System for iPhone and iPod

    Reviewer: iLounge
    11 February 2008

    As of the date of this review, Altec Lansing’s T612 has no competition as a Works With iPhone speaker system: it’s your only option if you want a unit that is guaranteed to provide appropriate power, shielding, and nearly seamless handling for the iPhone’s unique wireless capabilities. While other systems will be available over the next few months, T612 is a good baseline for the iPhone speaker category, and though it’s not as strong on frills or low-end... Read more

    Put simply, the T612 is of interest to iPhone 3G owners only, or those who plan on becoming iPhone owners. It will work with other iPods, but at an asking price of $399 it's a somewhat rich option unless you need the shielding it offers. Read more

    The Altec Lansing T612 is one of the first officially iPhone-compatible speaker systems, and it's a decent overall product. Sound quality is average, though, and bass response is noticeably lacking. Read more

    The bottom line: While it's missing a couple of key features found in competing models, the T612 distinguishes itself with a sleek design, decent sound, and some mobile phone anti-interference technology that makes the system particularly appealing to iPhone owners. Read more

    iPhone 3G owners have a strong incentive to splurge on Altec Lansing's T612. Every other iPod owner should look elsewhere, though. Read more

    Comments about Altec Lansing T612 Multimedia Speaker System: My question when I heard it was "where is the rest?" How such big sound comes from such a small unit? Only four stars because when I see the word system I think multiple speakers. And what the heck is transparent sound? Read more

    I have a little trouble getting the iphone sound to come through the speakers at first. Seems I have to wiggle the iphone a bit to make the connection. Other than that I think this is a flawless product. Read more

    Sounds ok, not great. Works with 3GS if Docking Adapter is removed; don't have a case for iPhone; so don't know how that will impact the unit. Read more

    I was reading some of the 1 star comments, and many of them were regarding incompatibility issues with the iphone. I can't speak for the iphone 3g, but it works great with the 3gs. The remote controls the volume, tracks, etc without any problems. it does not ask me to go into airplane mode. Interestingly, it speakers charge my iphone much faster than when i plug it into my computer's usb port. Overall, i'm happy with the unit. It is simple and works. The sound is pretty... Read more
