Customer Reviews

stylish look, not bad sound quality for size by Catherine
The speakers are pretty good although the sound is compromised at higher volumes. The appearance and general portability is great. We use it in our kitchen mostly. Satisfied overall.

Best value for money by M. Thatte
The Klipsch iGroove speakers sound great with my ipod touch. I have used the Bose Sounddock for my ipod and these speakers are comparable to the Bose speakers. For about half the price. Would definitly recommend these speakers for anyone that is looking for value for money in ipod speakers. Great Sound.

Good design, very bassy by D-Walker
I had purchased the Altec Lansing inMotion iM5 from Amazon for $50 a while back but between the intermittent popping sound between tracks and tinny sound, I decided to get another dock/speakers and chose the Klipsch iGroove SXT based on Klipsch’s reputation and the unit’s reviews on Amazon. The iGroove SXT sounds much more warm and deep but lacks highs but it’s still an improvement over the iM5. Great design (I prefer black to the white of the iM5)that allows the sound to be more widely dispersed than the iM5. The iGroove SXT does not have video composite out or subwoofer out (which it doesn’t need anyway) like the iM5. I never use the unit’s remote.

Since I’m still not completely happy with the sound, I’m wondering if I should have just bitten the bullet and bought the B&W Zeppelin, but I haven’t had the opportunity to listen to one to see if the $600 price is justified.

Huge sound in a small package by Gregory R. Diamond Jr.
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.
