Bowers & Wilkins isn't a name that's generally associated with "mere mortals." Sure, you'll find B&W gear within

Like the iMT620's predecessors, the inMotion series still bears the portability hallmark in the form of a built-in battery (up to five hours for this model), and now with the addition of a multifunctional handle as well. But is it really worth the $149 tag? Read on to find out.
