Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Fill the room with superior stereo sound from an ultra-thin speaker. At home or in the office, the Kensington SX 2000 Speakers with Dock for iPod 3G and iPod mini do something that other similar speakers can't. Thanks to NXT's advanced SurfaceSound flat panel speaker technology, they deliver clearly superior bass and sound balance from both sides of the unit. Easy-to-access buttons control your iPod's power and volume. And unlike other similar speakers, they have the power to crank up the volume without losing sound quality! Plus, you get a "Made for iPod" design that looks great with your iPod and in your space.

Universal Dock Adapter
The Universal Dock provides a single, elegant way to connect any iPod with a dock connector to your iPod accessory. Your iPod fits into the Universal Dock through the use of interchangeable inserts called "dock adapters". This unit is ideal for iPod and iPod mini, but also plays audio from any other audio source such as MP3 players or computers through a standard 3.5 mm headphone jack (cable not included). This product comes with a Kensington 1 year limited warranty.

NXT Technology
NXT Flat-Panel technology radiates equal sound from either side, front or back of your speaker unit, filling the room with sound. The speaker reproduces sound by a complex bending of the panel at all frequencies that enables a more accurate reproduction of the original sound. This produces superior frequency response with better highs and lows at high volumes. The wider radiation pattern of sound from the Kensington SX 2000 Speakers creates a wider stereo "sweet spot" throughout a room. This means you don't have to crank up the volume to fill a room with sound, and it creates a more balanced, natural sound than traditional cone speakers.

Universal plug for use with any 3.5mm audio source.

Superior frequency response fills a room with sound.

5.0 out of 5 stars Almost Perfect!, January 2, 2006

I love this little speaker!!! It is compatible with almost all types of MP3 player and all the ipods. I have it for a few months and it works perfectly! Sound quality is great, superior bass! I am really picky about the quality of mini speakers and have tested numerous of them. None is perfect. But my research and experience have convinced me that currently there are only these four the best so far. Here is a brief comparison of the three most wanted ipod/mp3 speakers:
Bose SoundDock Digital Music System: Best sound quality but less perfect bass effect;
Klipsch IGroove: Better bass quality than Bose but sound quality not as good as Bose but is great enough to produce excellent theater effect in your room;
Kensington SX200: For the price, unbeatable! you won't find another of equal quality! Bass is a tiny little bit less great than Bose, but comparable! More reliable than Bose and Klipsch!Slim design! I dropped my on the floor twice and nothing was wrong so far--not even a little static!
Altec Lansing inMotion iM7: Bulky, not as good as the above three!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great gift item (for you or someone else!)...incredible sound!, January 5, 2006

This review is from: Kensington 33165 SX 2000 Speakers and Dock for iPod & iPod Nano (Electronics)

First off, I read a review about these sounding like a laptop's speakers...no way! These speakers are really loud and have excellent bass. I use these for my home office, but also move them to my kitchen and my backyard for parties and when I'm using the hot tub.

That's one thing that's really missing from the other ipod speakers I looked at. Except for Bose and Kensington, they all sound tinny...you know that sound that makes you wince when it is turned up loud.

Not the Kensington speakers. The bass is fantastic, and the overall sound is great. Plus it fits my iPod video and if I ever get the nano or something new, it will fit that too because it has the "universal well". My sister came over for the holidays and had an iPod shuffle, and it has an auxillary input so you can play the shuffle as well.

All around, I am really happy with this. It looks great, sounds great, and is a perfect way to add music to any room in my house.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for price but not great sound, November 11, 2006

I like this unit for the price, but was disappointed in the sound quality because I was expecting too much from the reviews. I don't know where all the claims of good sound quality are coming from because it's really not that great. My Altec Lansing inMotion iM7 has much better sound quality and far superior bass (but it costs a lot more). However, I think the sound is "OK" for the size of the unit and because of the price, size, and design, I'm giving it 4 stars. But don't buy this if you want very good/great sound quality. It's just "OK".
