Altec Lansing's Redesigned Speakers and iPod Docks Get Retro, Manly Look
I must say I'm digging Altec Lansing's new design approach with their consumer audio gear. In these Expressionist Bass speakers and new inMotion iPod docks, we see A-L ditching white plastic tubes and glossy piano-black slabs in favor of vaguely retro, almost steampunk industrial designs with big screws, black, chrome and brown color schemes, prominent grilles, and a new logo. Check out a few more retro-fabulous shots and another, bigger inMotion dock post-jump. More »

Cut-the-Crap iPhone Headset Battlemodo
Whether you love or hate your iPhone, you'll get tired of holding that big sticky piece of glass next to your face eventually. Want have a talk while you work or exercise? Need hands-free calling behind the wheel? Do you just have lazy, withered arms? Chances are you need a headset. Though the famed white earbuds are good enough for some, why settle for them just because they just happen to come free, and with an embedded mic? Other companies want a piece of that iPhone action, and have headsets that fit and sound a lot better. "Oh, but fair and wise Gizmodo, which headsets hath you divined for my unworthy purchase?" you might ask. Look no further. Well, no further than after the jump. (And by the way, this review is actually useful for any phone with a 3.5mm mic-and-stereo jack.) More » -

A great way to tidy up your desk the FX3020 SoundBar will be available in October of this year for a MSRP of $99.95. [Altec Lansing via infoSync World]

Hands-On Altec Lansing's SR4021 Stacking Sirius Speaker Dock
Today, Altec Lansing was at the Sirius line show in New York, showing off a new attractive creation. It's a speaker dock, the $149 SR4021, that fits all dockable Sirius radios, including the Stiletto, Sportster (shown), Starmate and Stratus lines. Its mandatory subwoofer contains most of the audio electronics; you can hide it somewhere or leave it on the floor, but if you think it's sexy—and you just might think it's sexy—Altec designed it to stack with the speaker dock itself, as shown in the gallery.

Today, as our two most expensive units battle, marks the close of our first round of iPod Dock Battlemodo. First, we have the $349 Apple Hi-Fi.

But the Hi-Fi has some tough competition in the $349 Altec Lansing IMV712. It's a dock with a secret weapon...an 8.5" screen. Who will win the battle? More » -

Designed to be big on sound and small on space, Powered Theater comes in two flavors: the advanced two-piece PT8051 or the bigger, single-piece PT7031.

Check Out the 8.5-inch Screen On This Altec Lansing iPod Dock
When it comes to iPod speaker docks, it's hard to be different, but Altec Lansing's iMV712 dock gets a leg up on its competition by embedding an 8.5-inch widescreen display in what otherwise would have been just another speaker dock. The dock also includes RCA inputs and an S-Video output. If you've go enough videos on your iPod and could use a boombox in your bedroom, this $349 system should make a nice companion (though to be honest, we wouldn't mind a price drop ). More » -

Altec Lansing M812: Eschewing Wires for Shocking Sound
Going wireless is the order of the day, and Altec Lansing severs that tether with the M812, a wireless speaker system that lets your iPod transmit its signal 100 feet. Put your iPod wherever you want, and then you can position the unit anywhere around the house. You can add up to four speakers and have music everywhere. Sure beats stringing wires inside walls for big bucks. More » -

Altec Lansing Pumps 5.1 on the Cheap
It's not often you see a 5.1 speaker system for $79 bucks, yet that's the price Altec Lansing is asking for its new VS3251. The system delivers 70 watts RMS of power and does fairly well for a budget speaker system with features like an auxiliary jack, wireless remote, and wall-mountable satellites. Considering you don't see that many 5.1 systems for under $100 bucks, this deal should save you some cash, but for serious sound we recommend splurging a bit on a more powerful system. More » -

Altec Lansing A7: 1950s Studio Monitors for $6100 Each; CRaaaaaZAY
Altec Lansing's A7 speakers were hot shit in the 1950s through the 1970s. It was then that they were known as the "Voice of the Theater", distinguished by being the only commercially-available speakers approved by the Research Council at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. I totally cut and paste that, and I feel dirty for it. Anyhow, in 1973, Billboard mag claimed they were the most popular studio monitors in the country.

Altec Lansing im500 iPod nano Dock
I wonder what would've happened to all these companies that pump out dock after dock if Apple never released their indefatigable iPod. Such as it is, we're blessed seemingly every day with another dock and today is Altec Lansig's day in the sun. The InMotion im500 is designed for the iPod nano, but will work with pretty much any audio device thanks to a 3.5mm input. The im500's speakers are designed in such a way as to maximize sound performance in such a small space, which is further enhanced with MaxxBass technology. And yes, it'll charge and sync your nano like nobody's business. More » -
