Klipsch iGroove iPod Speaker

I LOVE this thing!!!

Strengths: Works right out of box. Sounds good for the size.

Weakness: Is set too loud when turning on, should return to the previous volume.

I brought this for the name, Klipsch. Our home theater speakers are this brand and I trust it. Also, could only find good product reviews. It has a great sound for size and is a little cheaper than the Bose system and sounds better!!

KLIPSCH IGROOVE

Strengths: GREAT SOUND. LOOKS NICE.

MONEY MAGAZINE DID A COMPARISON OF IPOD SPEAKER SYSTEMS. THEY RATED KLIPSCH IGROOVE THE BEST, AHEAD OF BOSE AND 3 OTHERS. MY HUSBAND LOVES IT! IT WAS HIS FAVORITE X-MAS PRESENT.

Better than Bose Sound Dock

Strengths: Great sound, even cranked, got a $30 rebate too, very portable and sleek design

Weakness: maybe slight hissing on low end, not wireless

I have a two story house and I keep my Bose Sound Dock upstairs and the Klipsch iGroove downstairs in the Kitchen mainly. Originally I had the Bose and then decided I wanted a speaker system downstairs. The Klipsch out performs the Sound Dock, not by much, but it does. I love the sound and I am not afraid to crank it up, and there is little distortion, just exceptionally great sound. I take it...

This is a great product, thaat was $75 cheaper than the Bose equivalent (after rebate). Love it....makes me feel like I am getting the most out of my iPod. Who needs headphones?

Klipsch iGroove for Ipod

Strengths: Great sound and style with remote.

Weakness: Slight hissy at low ranges

Got a great deal at Costco for the iPod. Good for portable sound system to take anywhere around the house. Lots of flexibility with iPod playing options.

More economical than the Bose, with equivalent sound.

Klipsch iGrove

Strengths: Sleek, simple, great sound

Weakness: A bit pricey. Some adapters for mini and nano did not fit, but I'm sure they fixed this problem now

I've had one of these for about 2 years now. I bought it for my 30gig color screen iPod classic so I could listen to it in my home office. The sound is really wonderful, at all levels. I usually listen to it on a fairly low volume level, and all the sound is just a crisp and clear as it is at higher volumes. I think clarity at low volume is often even harder for a speaker system to handle well...

I've had one of these for about 2 years now. I bought it for my 30gig color screen iPod classic so I could listen to it in my home office.

The sound is really wonderful, at all levels. I usually listen to it on a fairly low volume level, and all the sound is just a crisp and clear as it is at higher volumes. I think clarity at low volume is often even harder for a speaker system to handle well than mid and high volume sound. And at higher volumes, the whole house just rocks! Klipsch has been making great speakers since I can remember (I've been following them since the mid 60's) and they really hit a home run on this.

Beside the great sound, the unit is easy to use and stylish. For example, the built in handle, although I don't actually use the unit as a portable and it is not designed as one, is just one of those touches that shows what thoughtful design work went into this unit. The manual controls on the unit itself are spare and elegant, just three buttons: on/off; volume up; volume down.

But the best feature is the simple and easy to use remote control, which includes track selection/fast forward up and back buttons and play/pause.

As explanation of one of the negative comments above, I had purchased this just after Apple came out with the Nano. The location of the dock port on the Nano was changed by Apple at the last minute, after Klipsch had already manufactured the adapters based on prior specs from Apple. But the unit still handled my daughter's mini which had an included adapter that fits perfectly and, without using the adapter, nano without any problems. I'm pretty sure that minor issue has long been solved by Klipsch.

All in all, this is THE iPod stand alone home speaker system for great sound as far as I am concerned.
