Customer Review: Klipsch Ipod Sound Dock
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm very happy with it. Easy to use, clarity is very good with decent bass. Customer Review: Klipsch iGroove SXT iPOD Sound System
Summary: 5 Stars
The sound from this system is exactly as I imagined it would be. Full, rich, distortion free. And it charges my 1st gen ipod touch...sweet! And it was almost half the price of what I saw in the Big Blue Box Store. I feel like the woman in the Ikea commercial running out the store yelling,"start the car! start the car!"Customer Review: The Perfect Gift
Summary: 5 Stars
I received this as a gift and plugged it in within minutes. I love that there are only a few buttons to work with and was so amazed by the sound quality coming from something this compact. I was dancing for joy.
Because of its small size, I can take it from room to room increasing the volume, still obtaining high-quality sound.
The iGroove fits nicely on my nightstand, so I've set the alarm to it and wake up to excellent, crisp, clear sounding tunes. This is the perfect gift and I love it. I highly recommend it!
Customer Review: Nothing in this price range comes close
Summary: 5 Stars
First of all I will verify my 3rd Gen Nanos will recharge on the device and our 4th Gen Nano will not charge on the unit I received 2-23-09 from Amazon. Many people will use this device to listen AND expect this to recharge (Or at least keep your Ipod charged while playing) I agree with that expectation. This problem is caused by Apple and not Klipsh's fault. Apple changed the 30 pin layout on the 4th Gen Nano, so while it will play on this device it won't recharge.
For that reason I strongly suggest 4th Gen Nano owners look elsewhere for a speaker.
On with the review.
Pros:
1. Comes with remote that controls Ipod to some extent (pause, play, forward and backward within playlist) also controls volume, Mute and power
2.Sound quality for this price point is unmatched with anything I have seen. Ihome is in this price range and that is total junk compared to this.
3. Compact Package.
4. Auxiliary Input
5. Well known audiophile brand name. Many will not know anything about Klipsh. Trust me, they have been around a long time. My first experience with Klipsh was in the '80s when I saw two speakers the size of a VW that would blow you away. (They have been around for over 60 years) their big claim to fame was Horn loaded Tweeters (Still is, and in fact THIS speaker has two horn loaded tweeters) Many concert speakers are horn loaded to make them louder, others like soft dome are not as harsh. Klipsh have been making these for many years and these are far from harsh in case my description scares anyone. The highs are loud and clear and the horn loaded tweeters are the reason why. The bass is limited by the small woofers while the bass ported structure does a fine job at low to medium levels. you may in fact have heard Klipsh and never knew it. Many higher end Theaters have Klipsh speakers hanging on the wall. A well known audio company crutchfield sells the Klipsh home theater speakers. Nothing crutchfield sells is junk.
Cons:
I hate to list any cons, for one reason I have seen some listed here as unrealistic. If you expect 2 tiny woofers and two horn loaded tweeters to blow the windows out and shake the room with bass, then no, this will not do it.
I think you have to be realistic and look at what you are buying. Small speakers that sound clear and have reasonable bass at mid to low levels. Package includes functional remote and aux input (S-video output too) that can recharge 3rd Gen Nano and older I don't think you need to look any further.
