faint high-pitched squeal makes it unusable in quiet settings

I agree with other reviewers that the sound quality is excellent for a speaker system of this size and price. Unfortunately, both the first one I received and the replacement that Amazon sent emit a faint high-pitched squeal when turned on - whether the ipod is playing or not, even when there is no ipod docked. Fine when listening to loud rock - you’ll never notice it - but it’s like fingernails on a chalkboard when playing quiet music to fall asleep to. I loved the original InMotion speakers, and am disappointed that these are unusable. Perhaps I got unlucky in receiving two defective units, but two strikes I’m out - I’m heading for another speaker system.

On another note, Amazon’s return/replacement system couldn’t have been better - a few clicks generated a return label and the replacement arrived in two days. Just wish I weren’t using it again already…

Update (2/6/2012): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen. I also found some auctions for this item here.

Great for Work
This little guy is great. I’ve had it for about 8 months. I use it at work. Doesn’t take up much desk space. The sound is good for what it is.
