What's great about it: Overall great product, sound, features, and setup is very easy.
What's not so great: This will not charge 4th and 5th generation iPods.

"Big draw back for me beings I have a 4th generation not being able to charge it in the station. The box doesn't say it won't, just that it charges the 30 pin Apple connecters. If your looking to charge your iPod this won't do it. Outside of that this a great station for the price, just gonna be a hassle charging it seperate."

What's great about it: Everything about it from the price to the speakers and the remote!
What's not so great: nothing

"I'm so happy right now because I just bought this product today. :) I've been looking for ipod speakers for a long time cause most of them are way toooo expensive or cheap and bad quality. I finally found this one for $149 plus I got warranty so it totaled up to like $183. I took it home and the sound is sooooo good you can hear it through out my whole entire house. The remote control that goes with it is amazing! and it has a whole bunch of adapters for other ipods so if your friends come over and want to put there ipod nano or ipod video in then it has an adapter for all ipods :) . I definitely recommend this!!"

Beats JBL, Bose... 07/23/2008
By MarkLal

What's great about it: Small, sleek and space saving....
What's not so great: Remote, it sometimes takes its own time...

"Nice sound and one of the best bass i've ever heard in days, in such a small sized set. Plays ipod the best, better than JBL and Bose. I went into Best Buy wanting to buy JBL Onstage III, but after listening to this beast, I had to ditch the JBL. I bought a stereo jack along with it to connect my Samsung LCD, to which i have PS3 hooked up, and the sound output through this beast is awesome, the built-in subs they just make a whole lotta difference to the quality. The only problem is the remote, its too small, especially for a guy like me with not too small palms, and its too slow sometimes, but not always, and i thought the remote could have had some more functions like switching playlists etc. But all in all a great product and worth it. Gets a FIVER!!!"

Great purchase 07/20/2008
By TrojanHorse

What's great about it: Crisp sound quality, sleek aesthetic design, nice remote, space-saving
What's not so great: Some distortion at maximum volume (minor problem), and the player sometimes doesn't respond to the remote immediately

"Worth the price!

The pros definitely outweigh the cons, and when comparing the price with other i-pod player systems, this system is a bargain."

Best Portable iPod SoundPlayer 06/16/2008
By AbsterT from Modesto, CA

What's great about it: Clear Sound, Deep Bass, Loud volume, easy setup
What's not so great: none

"This product sounds great. I can turn the volume up all the way and it still sounds good. I was concerned about how these iPod players would sound because of their small size. The iGroove is exactly what I was looking for, small size, great sound quality that maintains its clarity at high volumes, and for a cheap price. I was orginally looking for something under $100, but after hearing this thing at the Best Buy store even with all the noise in the store, I definitely wanted it. If you are looking for a small iPod player, this is the one."

Good Klipsch sound in a small package! 05/29/2008
By Stanman from Cerritos, CA

What's great about it: Sound, price, Klipsch name.
What's not so great: Size

"I own the Bose SoundDock and the Klipsch iGroove HG for my Apple iPod. These are the 2 premiere iPod speakers out there! Saying that, not many iPod speakers out there come close to the full quality sound of deep bass & clear highs. With the Bose SoundDock you're getting the best but also the most expensive. You basically get what you pay for in the SoundDock! It has the best complete full sound, great bass & highs. And by far the loudest without distortion! Everything you expect from Bose. Next would be the Klipsch iGroove HG. In low to medium sound levels, the bass is rich and the highs are clear. But if you like your music loud on the higher levels, you'll notice the Klipsch iGroove HG starts to distort. To most people out there, music won't be played that high so this won't be too much of a factor. Now Klipsch came out with this iGroove SXT. It's supposed to be the little brother to the iGroove HG. The sound is exactly like the original iGroove HG but in a smaller package. Bass is rich & the highs are clear! The thing I noticed most was it's not as loud as the iGroove HG. This eliminated the distortion on the higher volume levels which is a good thing, but now the sound doesn't fill up the room like it's big brother did very easily. None the less, the sound is very impressive! Also the price is good. For its size & price, no other iPod speaker system sounds as good. But if you want the best, go with the Bose SoundDock or the original Klipsch iGroove HG if you can still find it around."

Smart kids 05/18/2008
By joshan

What's great about it: Beautiful full sound
What's not so great: None to be found

"I shopped for a Bose docking system for my ipod for a long time, but thought is was an expensive item. My kids decided to get me the Klipsch igroove SXT for Christmas. When I opened my gift I was excited to finally have a docking system for my ipod. They said I could take it back and get the Bose if this one didnt work out, but there is no way I would do that after I listened to music on it! It looks great and the sound is even better! I cannot believe you can get this sound for so much less money than the Bose system. I have been recommending the Klipsch system to my friends who are considering the Bose system. I say, "Save the money for your music and get a great system at the same time!""

good purchase 04/30/2008
By coggs123 from phila, pa

What's great about it: loud for its size, clear and crisp sound, durable
What's not so great: not battery operated

"plug it into the wall and listen to your favorite tunes. It takes any kind of ipod(ipod nano,40gb,20gb,etc...). charges ipod so you can listen to it has long as you would like. I used it at every barbeque so far and it works great, it is loud enough to get over the loud noises of the barbeque."

could it be any better? 04/20/2008
By tashayar from Wisconsin

What's great about it: Everything. What sound out of a little box! The price is reasonable
What's not so great: NONE

"Out of the box and on to the counter. Slide my i-pod onto the dock and I'm amazed! So simple a cave-wife could use it ..... and does. It will travel with me on week long vacations.
At $150, I could find nothing close to the sound reproduction coming from this unit. I hope I can stay this happy forever!"

Awesome Product 04/20/2008
By Anonymous Reviewer

What's great about it: Great Sound, Compact, great value
What's not so great: none

"Awesome product that produces great sound and is compact so it can be placed anywhere. I have researched many sound systems for an ipod and this is the best there is. Pretty comparable to the Bose Sound Dock. This one is worth every penny. I have a ifrogz case on my ipod and it just slides right onto the connector without a problem. The nice thing it charges the ipod while using it too. Nice having a remote to change the song or turn the volume up. The dual woofers provide the great deep bass. Highly Recommended!!!"

Huge sound in a small package 04/18/2008
By GregTheTechGuy from NY

What's great about it: Huge, distortion-free sound for middle-range wattage; lightweight and portable
What's not so great: Remote for iPod use only

"This speaker system delivers, as other reviewers have commented, truly wide-sounding, bass-rich audio in a really lightweight and portable design. For 20W of power, the system is loud -- it rocks. I mean, really rocks -- for nowhere near the cost of a Bose SoundDock. It's distortion-free even at incredibly high volumes (both MP3 player volume and speaker system volume).
The connectivity's great -- aux input for MP3 players, universal iPod dock for most iPod models with a dock connector -- and there are no synchronization issues to speak of. The S-video out lets you watch video from your iPod on a TV with an S-video input, which is cool, since most HDTVs still have the old S-video jack.
The play/pause, track forward and track backward remote functions only work when an iPod is synchronized with the dock, which is a downside for non-iPod MP3 player users. But volume up, volume down and mute work just fine. The remote takes a CR2032 lithium battery, which lasts quite a while.
The universal adapters that come with this system really are only J-cup supports whose shapes are designed to fit the shape and thickness of the bottom of an iPod, just to let other viewers know. This is good, though, for keeping your iPod in place while it's docked.
Overall, this product is fabulous, like every other Klipsch speaker system."

Klipsch Igroove SXT with ipod touch

What's great about it: Great sound & remote
What's not so great: Not all ipods work on the video output (including mine)

"The speakers I bought for Christmas were a really good purchase because they sound amazing and they are tiny and a remote control, if you look for things like that in speakers they are the speakers for you but the video output does not transmit any video at all because they are not compatible with the ipod touch wasn't specified in the box nor in the instruction booklet, I wanted to see movies & pictures on my monitor and you cant, so I spent the money and no video projection."

AWESOME 01/26/2008
By drtech98 from Lansdale PA

What's great about it: small with large sound, remote, use with all our ipods
What's not so great: I have to buy more for the rest of the house/office

"I just purchased this today for my desk since using IPOD's at work was banned. The sound is awesome, great quality, sleek look and doesn't take up much desk/counter space. Remote works from a good distance. Sound is good with volume high and low. Now my husband wants one for the house and his office. Best Buy sales person recommended this over the Bose system and I agree, price was half and sound quality was the same."

Great product 01/11/2008
By Knight1210 from Missouri

What's great about it: Awesome sound!! Great size!! Remote a plus!!
What's not so great: No battery capabilities

"Just purchased this product today and I love it!! The sound is so much better than I thought it would be. The remote is a great bonus!! Maybe the item has the battery feature that would make it more portable but I haven't figured it out yet. I researched many docking stations and the Best Buy associate turned me onto this dock and I'm so glad he did. Very happy with my purchase. Short of springing for a Bose, this dock is as good as it gets!!!"
