Considering that better sound quality can be found for less money, and significantly better sound can be had for just a bit more money, you’re definitely paying a price premium for compact size with both Altec Lansing’s inMotion iM500 and XtremeMac’s MicroBlast. That said, both are attractive and impressively compact systems that are ideal for carrying in a bag or backpack. If you plan on keeping your iPod nano with your speakers during transit, the MicroBlast will keep your nano safely inside and feels exceedingly solid. If you carry your nano around with you—say, to listen via headphones—when not using speakers, the iM500 is a bit more “packable” thanks to its thinner design, sounds better, and includes USB connectivity and an additional audio input for only $10 more.Read more
