I intended this review to be done a long while ago but sometimes things come up that you have to take care of on a personal level. Without further distraction here is my short and hopefully well done review on the Altec Lansing inMotion iM414v2 dock for the Microsoft Zune.
First off I have to thank Altec Lansing for always delivering quality product as they always have in the past. This dock is no different. Upon opening this Dock I loved the design and feel, it looked even better once I put it on the shelf and plugged it in. After that I took out the mounting brackets that were included to fit any type of Zune Player. Upon looking over the instructions and things I then went on a search for the included remote, which proved fairly easy to find as it was embedded in the Styrofoam.
Next I synced my Zune to add all my new music to it, then set it on the dock and turned it on. I was amazed at the sound quality. This dock offers great quality out of the box and it is only enhanced by the surround option that makes you feel as though you are listening in 5.1 Surround sound. Another cool feature was the extra bass option. This option allows you to add bass to your music, or enhance a song with a lot of bass in it already which is nice.
I spent quite a few days with this dock and I have loved every second of it. I would suggest this dock to any of the Zune adopters out there, and for the Price you are paying about as much for IPod docks anyway so go ahead and pick this one up. Altec Lansing has made another great product and I could not be happier to be testing their products and services.
As a little side note I would like to thank the Altec Lansing team for their amazing service and kind words. You guys are what make a great company even better. I would also like to extend my well wishes to Angel Barnard from Altec as she wound up in the ER and had to have an emergency appendectomy.
GET WELL SOON ANGEL.
