Customer Review: klipsch quality with convenience and portability
Summary: 5 Stars
I received this for christmas (yesterday) and immediately pulled it out of the box, plugged it in and started using it. My friend bought it for me knowing i'm a Klipsch fan. That is my favorite speaker. Bose lovers out there, i'm sorry. I know bose is "THE" name but i think Klipsch makes a beautiful speaker for less money, and in general i think they are very versatile.
This tiny unit is true to one of my favorite Klipsch qualities, which i call "fatness". they tend to make a very bright speaker, which i do like as long as there's enough 'fat' sound and depth to support the bright projection of sound. (i know overly bright speakers can tend to lack warmth, even if they are decent quality). For the size, there is a good quality, high volume and generally good fat sound.
Obviously at home, playing my Ipod thru my Onkyo Integra receiver and large Klipsch towers, blows this small speaker system away. That is a given....but this unit also doesn't cost a couple thousand dollars and can go with you to the office or in a back room, etc. I love it. I have an Ihome too, and it's not bad, i've enjoyed it--but it's nothing compared to this in sound quality, and overall sturdy construction. when you dock the ipod it feels secure, it looks sleek and even the remote feels sturdy in the hand.
as an ipod docking system i'd rate it as one of the best ones out there. worth spending a few extra dollars to enjoy sound quality....and in my case, i received as a gift so i didn't spend any dollars. :-)
Customer Review: Very Impressive! Klipsch does it again!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was searching for a set of 2.0 speakers for events that could fill a room properly and found a pair of Klipsch speakers. Those things are the best ever. So when I went looking for an iPod dock I thought of Klipsch.
I ended up buying the JBL dock instead that was on sale for $50 because I thought JBL was a good brand. I was so wrong!! The speakers sounded like the ones in my MacBook Pros. No bass at all.
So I returned it and ordered this one. I have had it for about a week now and I can say the quality is right up there with my other Klipsch speakers. It has incredible loud, full, rich, clear sound with plenty of bass. Don't waste your money on the Bose system unless you are one of those people that enjoys spending a lot of money.
The only negative thing about this system is that with the most recent Ipod Classics (mine is the 80GB variety) when the EQ is set on the rock setting like I like, or something similar that boosts the bass it can sound a bid muddy and distorted at higher volumes. I found that the perfect EQ for this system is the "Treble Booster" setting at the bottom. The thing sounds perfect now! It is sometimes a pain to have to change the EQ every time I move around, but I mainly just go from my dock to my car with it.
I am very very picky when it comes to speakers, and this system is all that I could imagine in an iPod dock. I use the AUX in for my laptop too. Sounds great!
Customer Review: Huge sound in a small package
Summary: 5 Stars
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 -- they're not adapters that make other MP3 players fit a 30-pin iPod connector. They're good, though, for keeping your iPod in place while it's docked.
Overall, this product is fabulous, like every other Klipsch speaker system.
Customer Review: Groovy
Summary: 5 Stars
I had looked at a number of systems before receiving the iGroove as a christmas gift. If you like the bose systems sound and simplicity but don't want to pay the price, the iGroove is an excellent product for you. The sound signature is similar to the bose system's but with the added benefit of horn tweeters which gives the high end that sparkle without overburdening the woofers especially at medium loud volumes. The low end is very prominent and considering the tiny size of the woofers incredible. If you like very pronounced mid to low bass (like most of bose's products) this is the system for you. I find it rather soothing. Once again, considering the size and cost of the system I would say it compares very favorably to bose's system and offers similar if not superior sound quality at a reduced price. If you want even more bass, stick it in a corner and let the open ports utilize the effect to their advantage. You will be suprised at the amount of low end this little system can put out. I would by no means recommend this system in a large room at more than moderate listening volumes (more than 15'x15') but would confine it to a bedroom or office due to its size.
The Fit an finish is also excellent and it feels solid and well constructed. I am very happy with the quality of this product and for the price it is selling on amazon I would very highly recommend the iGroove sxt.
Customer Review: THIS ARE IT LOOK NO FURTHER
Summary: 5 Stars
AMAZING SOUND at an AMAZING PRICE !!!!!!,
Small and Sleek, has a "Bass Push" you would expect of a BIG HiFi component in a very small good looking package. Excellent high's also.
Feel sorry for those who buy the Bose,at this price you could get a couple of Klipsch SXT's (one for the Shower, living room or Patio you cant beat that) SOUNDOCK owners EAT YOUR HEART OUT!!!!!!
Incredible Full and RICH SOUND !!!! Low Price for a High End Brand Product , as Ive read before only difference is that Klipsh is harder to pronunciate that some other brand names BUT EASIER TO PAY FOR.
Got it from Amazon for 119 $ + FREE SHIPPING
Klipsch only manufactureS speakers, so all their knowledge and technology is in this superb NEW little item.
It has a 3.5 mm stereo input so Im able to browse my Ipod collection WHILE PLAYING without having to get on my knees to get a song VERY SMART AND PRACTICAL, really love that
Also you can hook up your laptop (or any 3.5 stereo input) , have not tried the S-Video Output yet but it also sets this LITTLE MONSTER aside from the competition.
Today there are far too many Ipod speakers in the market (SOME COSTING MORE THAN THE IPOD ITSELF),but only few are really Brand Name speaker makers THIS IS ONE OF THEM.
Get it!!!!!! you wont regret it
