Digital camera reviews of Klipsch iGroove SXT iPod Sound System (Black)
Digital camera Review: Compromise
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought the Kilpsch for my daughter who wanted a small unit for her Ipod, ok so what is the big deal there are a lot of products on the market that do that The Kilpsch has a small foot print with excellent sound, very close to the Bose unit that is almost twice the price and I am judging the quality of the sound, again taking into consideration the size and price. The JBL unit is a bit odd in shape with the speakers pointed up. It does pump out the music impressively but if you are picky, it is a bit odd for the speakers to be reflecting the sound up and sort of out. My daughter is thrilled with the Kilpsch and that was my second choice when I purchased a unit for myself.
I settled on the Altec Lansing IM600 whose sound is very close to the Kilpsch and has the bonus of running on a battery and having a FM tuner. My daughter however wanted the Kilpsch therefore here opinion carried the day. A normal person would be hard pressed to say one sounds better than the next and even my daughter now concurs and my bet is my Altec is going to be hijacked in the near future.
There is another unit that if you can find is sort of a black sheep and that is the SONY. This little unit produces a sound quality that rivals anything out there including the Bose. It has a woofer that looks like a AC adapter which you can shove to the side and the speakers are small, silver and sleek. The sound from this is truly remarkable. I received this as a gift last week (one of those you cannot return). It is like many SONY products a bit quirky but in terms of producing sound very impressive. Amazon has it so its worth looking at and again an impressive unit.
A word of advice, many of these docking stations have problems charging the latest generation of IPods which frankly I don't see as that big of a deal. Also some have issues providing full functionality with their remotes, so you need to do some research if that is a big deal.
Digital camera Review: Coudn't Have Expected More
Summary: 5 Stars
I have owned Klipsch speakers exclusively for over 20 years; you could say I'm a fan. I bought the unit for use on my lanai and paid $80 all-in on eBay. The minimal look and functionality are just my style and for $80, one could absolutely not expect anything more (even at the retail price, it would be a good value). The only negative I have to report is that the remote control battery arrived dead. Four dollars later, though, I'm happy as I could be for $84. Hope this helps!Digital camera Review: DOA in a year and a half
Summary: 3 Stars
Well...it worked great and sounded great too...but 18 mos later, it wont charge the iPod and the sound is completely distorted with no volume control. Now I have to get another one for my wife's office and wont be a Klipch. Kind of expensive to poop out so soon.Digital camera Review: Decent Item, Nice sound ... Freeze Ipod Problems
Summary: 3 Stars
- Good sound (not great)
- Easy to use
BAD:
Freeze the IPOD for Overheat.
Digital camera Review: Disappointing for a Klipsch product
Summary: 1 Stars
I was really disappointed by the Klipsch docking station, especially considering the generally high quality of Klipsch speakers. This product doesn't produce balanced sound. I wasn't expecting something like the more expensive Bose docking station, but I had read from other reviews that Klipsch would still have very good sound.
Consider buying Klipsch's speaker system with subwoofer for the computer, just as I have for my home computer. It's just a little more expensive, but the sound blows the Klipsch docking station away.
