Amazon.com Product Description While many iPod speakers fall into the dime-a-dozen category, the iGroove SXT iPod Speaker System, with iPhone certification, definitely does not. In fact, this sleek, pint-sized powerhouse fits perfectly into any room, while making your playlists larger than life. Sleek style and performance prowess. Click to enlarge. | Re-tuned bass ports remove "port noise." | Shielded from cell phone interference to prevent unwanted noise. | The original iGroove SXT, introduced in 2007, turned a lot of heads with its sleek style and performance prowess. This latest version takes that success to a whole new level, without costing a penny more. It sounds better than ever and accommodates all of the new iPod and iPhone models, even the iPhone 3G S. Technology The iGroove SXT remains a true stereo sound system that employs dual long-throw 2.5-inch woofers in a ported enclosure and dual 3/4-inch horn-loaded tweeters. Klipsch is the only company in the iPod speaker category to utilize horn technology, a design that delivers lifelike sound as well as produces more output using less energy. The result? Huge stereo sound from a pint-sized package. And unlike before, the iGroove SXT is now bi-amplified, which means each driver is individually amplified, a feature that virtually eliminates distortion and significantly improves sonic performance. Klipsch also re-tuned the bass ports on the sides of the system to remove any "port noise." In addition, the amplifier is shielded from cell phone interference, so you can forget about unwanted noise when you've got an iPhone docked. iPod/iPhone Compatibility The iGroove SXT charges any iPod with a 30-pin connector, while the shuffle and other digital devices connect via a rear auxiliary input. Klipsch added a 1000mA rapid charge circuit to the system, so you can quickly recharge your iPod, iPod touch or iPhone. For video-enabled iPods and iPhones, an S-video output lets you watch videos on external monitors. Finally, need an alarm clock? Combine your iPod's alarm clock feature with the iGroove SXT.

Fantastic Sound at a Reasonable Price - No Need to Spend Big $$ to Get Great Sound December 28, 2009 mmcporter (Boston, Massachusetts) 12 out of 13 found this review helpful
This speaker set really sounds great. I am an audiophile who would usually go the extra $$ for the best sounding unit (i.e. the Bose Sound Docks or something comparable) but you can only spend so much on peripherals. FYI, I checked out the various dock options on Amazon.com. I've heard the JBL On-Stage at a friend's house and liked it, but I was concerned about all the feedback in the reviews about that unit's volume control issues. Speaker sound is all about personal preference and hearing those speakers in the environment where they will be played. I went with the Klipsch for 3 reasons - the company is known for making high-end tower speakers, the unit includes an "S" video jack for showing videos and podcasts on my TV and the reviews here and elsewhere were positive. I normally wouldn't buy speakers without hearing them first, but I relied on the reviews and the company's reputation - and besides, the pricing was good and I could always return the speakers if they didn't sound great in my house.
I received the unit and unpacked it in my bedroom, where it will ultimately be used. It was super-simple to setup - indeed the instruction manual is only 3-4 pages of large type. I put my iPod on the unit and fired it up. The sound that came forth was crisp, clean and impressive. Frankly, not to knock Bose, but the sound was about as good as the sound from my Bose Wave Radio which cost more than 3X what the Klipsch cost. The sound is excellent with lusty base, crisp treble and superb midrange. I have played a variety of music and have been continually impressed with the sound reproduction. Pop, Hip Hop, Classical, Jazz - you name it, this Klipsch really delivers. And it fills my moderate-sized bedroom with music without any trace or distortion and it sounds very natural. I haven't used the S-Video hook up to view videos yet, but I'm sure it will work well also. In my opinion, this is the best unit at the $150 price point - it will not disappoint!
Here are my overall pros and cons for the Klipsch:
Pros:
-> Attractive form factor and reasonably small foot print
-> Easy to set up
-> Sound quality is excellent - at all ends of the musical spectrum
-> Price is very reasonable
-> Fills the room with clear, crisp music at any volume level - sounds great on low or played loud
-> Has video connection for movies and podcasts - many other speaker sets don't have this feature
Cons:
-> The volume buttons on the unit itself don't have a smooth positive feel - they are stiff in their operation
-> A screen like that of the Altec Lansing would be nice so that you could see the volume level and other key operating statistics of the unit
Bottom Line: If you appreciate good sound reproduction, this is the unit for you!!! Take it home and try it - you can return it if you don't like the sound. But trust me, you'll love it!!!!
No need to look further...!! January 26, 2010 latka-wodka (NY) 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
We shopped for our ipod/iphone speakers very carefully. Tested brands at stores, read reviews on various websites, and a week prior to purchasing, were fortunate enough to have use of the Bose Wave System. I have the Altec Lansing In Motion speaker system from a few years back. Terrible. Really awful connection. I will say the Bose sounded excellent, but the price is prohibitive. Bose does a lot of advertising, has stores, info ads, etc..I know thats part of the cost. Klipsch, on the other hand, makes speakers, thats it. The sound of these speakers is on par with the Bose systems. Its a wonderful speaker system for the price. Works perfectly with all makes and models of ipods and iphone, no feedback at all. When running the iphone, you can use any number of internet and satellite radio apps available in the app store. All in all its an excellent product for the price. I would 100% recommend this to anyone looking for very good sound quality, but not looking to spend $200+ and I would purchase Klipsch products again for sure!
Great sounding iPod docking station for the $'s December 30, 2009 B. Feil (GSO NC) 7 out of 8 found this review helpful
I had been looking around for a good docking station but had been very disappointed with the quality of sound I was hearing from these units costing between $100 to $200. I recently got a Bose Wave Radio II and a Sony HTiB which both have iPod docking ability so my quest for the iPod specific dock station ended. Well, for X-mas we decided to get my daughter something to plug her iPod classic into so again the quest to find something that sounded decent for the price. I came across this unit and heard it played. Wow very impressed, especially for the size! I can't imagine someone complaining about the lack of bass on this unit, are you kidding! The simple facts on this are that it plays iPod music great! It's very comparable to my Bose in sound reproduction. That being said though, it doesn't have a lot in the features department. You won't be able to carry it around, no battery option. It also doesn't have radio or ability to adjust your sound which isn't that bad since you can simply adjust your iPods sound setting. All in all if you looking for a great sounding iPod player, look no further, this is it. If you want a lot of other features, you may need to keep looking.
Awesome! February 3, 2010 Criss R. Rios 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I just got this dock system yesterday and am very impressed by how small it is but very good sound. The only problem i really see is that when the iphone is docked it does have a little wiggle. hopefully this wont be a problem later on.
Under Rated and a bargain. December 17, 2009 JRP (Louisiana) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I own 3 of these. They are so much better than the more prevalent one (that starts with a B and costs $300). The sound quality in my opinion surpasses the other.
