The nice thing about cell phones and MP3 players these days is that they hold a ton of music and they are extremely portable and functional. But the problem is, most players either don’t have a speaker or if they do, it is only good for a conference call now and then and not really for playing your music or video library.
This all changes with the ultra-portable Altec Lansing Orbit MP3 Speaker (the full name is the iM-237 Orbit Ultrapersonal Speaker). I recently received a, well I can’t say pair since it is a single speaker unit, of these for review from a PR firm and had very low expectations. I mean how good could a tiny battery-powered speaker actually be. To my surprise, the Orbit was actually quite good given its compact size.
Slightly smaller in circumference than a CD-Rom disk and no taller than a couple of inches, the Orbit does manage to pack quite a little punch in its single-speaker design. The package comes with the speaker and a handy cases which makes for easy portability. There is an integrated headphone plug that curls up on the underside when transporting.
