In researching countertop mp3 speaker systems, I went to the usual suspect first, Bose. Great product but expensive. To my surprise, I discovered that Klipsch also made a similar product to the Bose mp3 system (dimensions, sound quality, remote control, looks, etc). While I'd never owned Klipsch speakers, I had known them to be a quality product that rivals Bose that also tended to be pricey. To my surprise, the Klipsch system was on sale (vs a price that was similar to the Bose system) and the deal was done. Strangely enough, I found out that my dad and some other close family friends also have the Klipsch system and have loved them. I've enjoyed the system from the moment I plugged in my i-Pod Nano. Great system sound, looks great and easy to operate. I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a high quality table top mp3 speaker system as an alternative to the Bose system.

PS - it also helps that this product's power supply is 100-240 V and 50/60 Hz so I can use it virtually anywhere in the world with only the need for a plug adapter!

BUY THIS NOW!!! I have bought 3 of them and I highly recommend it! The sound is crisp and clear and OH SO POWERFUL! I bought another cheaper unit (Emerson) as a gift for my mom and realized quickly that it could not compare to this I-Groove so we returned it and bought another of these gems. The cool sleek look is just an added bonus. You won't regret the extra money you'll spend on this one I'll assure you. The Bose system is sweet too but I don't believe that it's worth the extra money you have to pay for it. This unit has everything you could want in a speaker system. Stop shopping, get this one!

Until I purchased this item I had never heard of this manufacturer before. I took a chance on the purchase and was more than pleasantly surprised. The quality and the sound of this IGroove is top notch. I've already had it for a while now and there's just nothing I can complain about. As a matter of fact, I only remove my Ipod from it to add new music. Then it's right back onto the IGroove. This was an excellent buy for me.

Well here are the negatives... no video out.. no adapter available for 4th gen nano (chromatic)
Contrary to what is written on the internet.. the HG does NOT charge 4th gen ipods. also to make matters even a bit more sticky
it doesnt have a sync connector. (I use a sync connector to charge my nano on a mm50 which also doesn't charge chromatic) The problem is that 4th gens use usb 5v for charging older generations use firewire to charge the older ipods. (think about it its apple and the macs all were firewire) what will happen when usb 3 is mainstream?

Sound is exceptional as long as it isn't cranked... contrary to other reviews elsewhere you cant get boombox sound out of it.. its a good (very good) small room speaker. If you want boombox volume and bass look at the kicker ik500 or ik501
