What's great about it: EVERYTHING.
What's not so great: Nothing. You will not be disappointed.
When I first bought the Klipsch iGroove SXT, I admit I was having doubts. I thought it wasn't going to be durable, etc...now, six months later, it still sounds as great as it did the first day I bought it. and, being experienced in sound quality, I can tell you right now that it is of the same quality, if not even better, than a pair of Bose speakers. And, despite its rather small size, its music travels far and is loud. The music it makes can fill a whole room. Its price is just unbelievable, and I would urge you to buy it before it becomes of a higher price. Its sound delivers extreme clarity and a very powerful, ear-splitting (in a good way# bass sound. Its remote is also very convenient and durable, but I would recommend to also get an extra set of batteries when you buy it in case. And, for the music blasters out there, its sound does not become distorted after you listen to it loud. Trust me, I do that and it sounds fine. These speakers are by far the best I have ever owned. Did you know that most movie theaters use Klipsch speakers for movies? The Klipsch speakers are also easy to carry with you, they are not heavy, and are easily turned on and off. They have a very wide range of volumes, so you can have it as the volume you like...whatever that volume may be. They also look very appealing, and truly live up to their name: Sexy Tiny #SXT). They are a perfect fit for any room. They are very cool. So don't hesitate, buy them today!
This product has... Stylish, Powerful bass, everything else great

What's great about it: Everything
What's not so great: The remote is cheap and broke in about 6 months
Ok, So I have had other iPod docks and they were just mediocre. I got the Klipsch on-sale at a price I could not resist, but would have no problem paying 150 for them. Having other Klipsch products, I knew that the company was capable of making an outstanding product. This dock took longer to get out of the box than it did to hook up. I ran an aux. cable out the back input to my laptop and use it for listening to music off the laptop as well as sound for movies, tv shows, etc. The lows on these speakers are incredible, as well as the highs and over-all sound quality (Crisp, detailed, textured, and emotion). With that said, they can blast music extremely loud without distortion and it sounds as good cranked up all the way as it does at 10%. I had doubted it's power at first, having gone from a Klipsch 2.1 system to a single unit, but they perform as well as the bigger 2.1 system. When it comes to the product construction, it is definitely built to last and withstand a little abuse (they were in a backpack in the bed of a truck rolling around for an hour or so). For the remote, it stopped working about 6 months into ownership. You can buy a new one off the manufacturers website for under fifteen bucks. At the end of the day, these knock all the other brands out of the race, yes even B**e which costs 2x as much (previously owned a dock). Hope this helps. Save some money and get these, not the other, high priced, brand!
This product has... Stylish, Powerful bass, great highs and lows, well built

Bought this for my wife's workout room. Went back to buy another for my office, but were sold out. For the price, this little guy provides a deep, full sound. It's not sufficient to provide quality sound to a large area, but given the price/size of the unit, that should be obvious.

What's great about it: Sound, portability, price, nice looking and charges your phone too!
What's not so great: For the price NOTHING!
I have read many great (and some sour) reviews of this product. I would like to tread the middle ground here. This dock is not meant to fill your house with rumbling bass or replace your current home theater.
This is a very simple system best used in a bedroom, office, hotel or dorm. It is not over loaded with gimmicks or extras you don't need.
This is a very simple system best used in a bedroom, office, hotel or dorm. It is not over loaded with gimmicks or extras you don't need.
What this little guy does is excede what you expect from it. I purchased mine while on vacation. I was staying in a hotel and needed a dock so I could listen to music to help me sleep. I considered getting the BOSE but they had sold out. LUCKY ME! I auditioned the system while at Best Buy and thought it sounded nice but once in a more controlled (quiet) environment I was truly pleased with what this system has to offer.
It has a nice balanced sound, is VERY easy to use and made a great alarm clock using my iphone. Not to mention it was a great way to charge my phone while keeping it close to me while I slept.
It has a nice balanced sound, is VERY easy to use and made a great alarm clock using my iphone. Not to mention it was a great way to charge my phone while keeping it close to me while I slept.
While I feel you can make a comparison to the BOSE iDock. For the the PRICE I would say the iGroove BETTER. Coming close to the higher priced docks (in sound quality) but not quite there. Going strictly by sound quality there are a lot of products that sound better. Bose, B&W etc.. But there is NO competition in it's price range. (i paid $150)
A side note: This system has a 3.5mm input so it makes a great companion for laptops! Worked very well for movies on my laptop, which has weak speakers. Combine that with compact size and it makes an excellent and easy travel entertainment system! Also the iGroove has a nice solid feel to it, unlike many docks at or around it's price range.
While this little Klipsch system might not change you life. For the price it may enhance it! This is a great product for a fantastic price!!!!!!

What's great about it: Lower range/Bass sounds great, puts out big sound from a small unit, good looking system
What's not so great: Docking iPod Touch is difficult, Doesn't handle highs/Treble range well, power brick in the middle of power cord
First off, I am no audiophile, but, on the other hand, I did a lot of comparison shopping when I bought an MP3 speaker system recently because I really want something with well-balanced sound. I found this Klipsch SXT had surprisingly good bass for such a compact system - very impressive, but the sound in the higher/treble range sounded muffled to me, as if this system was struggling to play the high's or the treble range. I compared this system to the Logitech s715i which at the time of this review is also sold at Best Buy, and I thought the Logitech definitely outperformed the Klipsch, as far as producing more balanced sound, as well as having some other advantages which I will talk about in this review.
Also, one frustrating thing I found on this SXT is the iPod dock. Many times I would set my ipod touch into the doc, and I would hear the standard "Pling" that would tell me the ipod had been docked or connected, but when I tried to play the SXT, the iPod had in fact not docked correctly, and I had to either readjust the iPod, or take it off the dock, and then re-dock it again. I found this to be the case over and over again, where it was difficult to get a good connection to the iPod. And, this was after I took off the case off the iPod, and it was still very problematic to dock on the SXT.
Also, the dock on the SXT is made flimsy plastic, to the point that when I was docking my ipod (and I was gentle with this) I felt that I had to hold or cradle the SXT dock in one hand, as I was docking the ipod, and all of this made the simple procedure way more difficult than it should have been.
In comparison, the Logitech s715i was a breeze to dock my ipod. First off, the dock on the Logitech sits on top of the unit, and is made of much sturdier plastic. Also, it seemed as if every time I plugged in my iPod on the Logitech, it would take on the first try, no problem, and then it was hooked up correctly where I could just enjoy my music. Also, the Logitech's docking mechanism actually can move front to back in a type of hinging movement, which is great if you want to change any settings on your iphone or ipod when it is docked, so that you don't lose connection. This hinging or flexible dock on the Logitech is a great idea, and I wish other manufacturers of these systems would take note of this.
The remote on this SXT is great, very easy to use, and had a decent range of 10-15 feet, which is the basic range for remotes in this category. Worked almost every time, when using it across the room. No complaints there.
The other issue that I didn't like about this SXT is that right in the middle of the power cord, there's a power brick, which makes unplugging this device and moving it more difficult than other units. Most other units just have the small block adapter right on the plug, which makes them easier to move around.
I really liked the styling of the SXT, it is very compact, and has a great look to it. But with all the other issues with it, and comparing it to the Logitech s715i, I returned the Klipsch after just having it a few days, and I am going to keep the Logitech, which seems to be one of the best ipod speakers in this price category.
Additionally, one thing I realized while doing some research, if you do have the extra money to spend on these ipod speaker systems, at the time of this review, Best Buy is also selling another system, the Altec Lansing Mix iMT800/810. Yes, the Altec Lansing is in a different price range, but it is so worth it based on the sound quality. From my research, and after reading a lot of reviews on the internet, I would recommend either of these systems. Unfortunately, I can't recommend the Klipsch SXT, and would advise others to pass it by.
Hope this helps.

What's not so great: Not portable, Lacking Bass
For only $149 this is a fantastic docking station. The clarity and sound quality is fantastic. The only thing it's lacking for sound is a great bass. It's very comparable to a Bose sound system. Some downfalls are it's distorted when cranked up and it's not portable. All in all it's a great docking station.

What's great about it: Brillant sound reporduction; easy set-up; easy to use remote
What's not so great: Nothing!
This was purchased so I can have music in my workshop. I was frankly astonished at the quality of the sound reproduction throughout the entire audible spectrum given the compact size of this speaker system. It won't fill a large room with music to dance to at a big party, but for nearly any other use, this is a system to seriously consider. Easy set up (just plug it in) and a tiny remote are additional benefits. Klipsch -- one of the premier names in speakers -- has produced a system that can't be beat for the money.

What's great about it: Amazing sound. Klipsh does it again!
What's not so great: Have not found anything as of now.
My daughter had the Ihome system. My wife was moving it around to clean, and it just stopped working. We needed to replace the unit. I went on line and began to do some comparing. Really thought of getting the iKick. It was sold out. So I continued. Decided on the Klipsch. I made this decision based off the reviews, and my past experience with the sound of Klipsch. WOW, is all I can say about this system. Absolutley amazing sound out of this compact unit. So amazing, that I just bought 2 more for my wife, and my son's birthdays. Highly recommend.

What's great about it: Extremely good sound at any price.
What's not so great: NA
I have read some of these reviews about "the bass is not that impressive" or "the sound is ok". Let me tell you something, this thing absolutely rocks! Consider the fact that you are dealing with something so very small, and the drivers are extremely compact, I have not heard ANYTHING that compares to this for the money. I am an avid audiophile and have bought more than $200,000 worth of audio equipment in my lifetime, and I was so impressed with this that I had to write a review. I am thoroughly impressed with the bass response as well as the highs. My mouth fell open when I listened to it in my office. It sounded good in the store, but the store is so huge, you lose a ton of the response. Get this thing in a normal sized room, and it rocks! I have had many, many Klipsch products and this one is no different. They have superior products that hold up over time. This was the best sounding unit that was at the store- including the overpriced BOSE. I laugh at people who pay BOSE prices because they "hear" it is the best. Get a clue and buy this thing!
