Sometimes, we feel like we’re drowning in iPod speakers. You know the ones: cheap little speakers set that sound puny, or knock off from China and Taiwan. A few iPod speakers stand out from the crowd, like Apple’s Hi-Fi or Altec Lansing’s IM7. Thankfully, this iPod speaker set from Altec Lansing, the M602, is one of the standouts.
The M602s are extraordinary because of their design. Most speakers require a certain size to reproduce mids and low tones, which makes it no wonder wht the boombox-style IM7 outperform smaller iPod speakers. The M602 somehow manage to do the same, producing a beefy low end with a slim design. Its no thicker than a fat laptop, but it pushes air like a much larger pair of speakers.
As added bonus, the M602 comes with a video output for video iPods. With it, you can dock your iPod, and watch some movies or TV episodes while channeling the audio through the M602. This feature alone could have video iPod owner queueing up to buy one.
