User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Great for the iPhone
You can’t beat Amazon’s price on the T612 and I got mine in 6 days even with standard free shipping….
Pro’s: Works with the iPhone and comes with the docking adapter installed. You’ll get a message saying its not compatible each time you plug the iPhone in & asking if you want to go into Airplane mode, click No and the phone works fine without static. Good smooth sound but not overly bright (a subjective area). Unit is very heavy & solid (I’m guessing its the speaker magnets) All the dark gray plastic areas have a semi-soft texture (quality feel). The T612 charges your iPhone in the dock whether the unit is powered on or not.
Con’s: The remote doesn’t do much with the iPhone. You can turn the unit On/Off, adjust Volume, Bass and Treble. Play/Pause & skip features appear to be for the standard iPod only. You have to order any other Nano type adaptors from AL. The iPhone doesn’t seat onto the dock as smoothly & quickly as I’d like but its a minor point.
I really like the sound & looks & quality of the T612.
4 Stars Altec Lansing T612 - Good buy for the money
I purchased the Altec Lansing T612 for my Iphone and it has performed very well. The controls are easy to use, the sound quality is very good for a unit of this type, and the build quality is exceptional. I use it in my office and the sound level isn’t a concern, it was the sound quality at lower volume levels. If needed, you can crank the volume to fill an office or bedroom very easily prior to the speakers distorting.
The only draw back I found is that the remote is a bit simplistic, as for what it controls, and could be enhanced to utilize more Iphone music functions.
I do recommend this unit to those who have an Iphone and are looking for a speaker system for their office or bedroom.
5 Stars Great Sound…Great Value for Money!
This is a great product. Superior sound quality, great value for money.
love the fact that phone doesn’t have to be in airplane mode to use and you won’t miss any calls.
It has adjustable bass and treble controls on the remote and also if necessary product is wall-mountable.
Have tried quite a few speakers for iphone/ipod and some that cost more and this is by far the best.
You will not be disappointed if you buy!!
4 Stars Nice
I wouldn’t say that I was blown away, but I got what I expected… in fact, it was a bit nicer than what I had pictured. Would recommend it to a friend. Only disappointment is that it didn’t come with an adaptor for my Nano G4.
4 Stars Altec Lansing T612 vs LogiTech Pure-Fi Anywhere 2
If you need battery portability, get the LogiTech. If you just want a very good docking speaker system, get the Altec Lansing T612. Both work well with the iPhone 3G. You may get an occasional “Not meant to work with iPhone” message but it doesn’t affect operation. Both have very good sound quality with the Altec Lansing seeming a little fuller to my ears. I think this is more of a preference thing. The Altec Lansing is a little easier to use and charges the iPhone whenever it is docked. The LogiTech only charges when the 120V adapter is used. The LogiTech remote accesses the iPhone or iPod menu but this isn’t as great as it seems. Once the device powers down, the remote won’t access the menu until the device is unlocked again. Also, you have to get close enough to read the menu from the device. My personal favorite is the Altec Lansing and I don’t think anyone will be disappointed with it. If portability or the lower price is important, you might want to look at the LogiTech.
