4.0 out of 5 stars Not Bad, May 30, 2007

This review is from: Klipsch iGroove SXT iPod Sound System (Black) (Electronics)

I've been using the new iGroove SXT and I am impressed. I have never used the original one but I can imagine they are similar. They both have dual 2.5 woofers and this one has a .75" tweeter as opposed to the originals 1". This one has some of the same flaws I read about in some of the original ones reviews. It has excellent sound at low and mid-high ranges is very good all the way through the volume range with noramal songs, but, with bassy songs at high volumes you get distortion and it's not always pretty. Alot of it can be fixed with the EQ function on the iPod though. I have cruised many of the local electronic stores and can say this one slaughters most of the competition when it comes to clarity, volume and a real life presence in the sound. The mm50 by Logitech can't touch it. The Bose is clearer at high volumes. The altec is as loud but not as clear. Many others like the On Stage II, iHome, iLove, Logitech's and many others aren't even in the same category. This one is much better. The original Klipsch is probably a tad bit louder, by the specs, and is selling dirt cheap right now. But, this one is smaller, has an s- video output and is much better looking,looking more Bose like. This SXT can also be set to turn on with the iPod's alarm, unlike the original Klipsch iGroove.

3.0 out of 5 stars Does not charge the Ipod Touch 2g or New Nano 4g!!, December 7, 2008

This review is from: Klipsch iGroove SXT iPod Sound System (Black) (Electronics)

I purchased this unit because of the great reviews that it has. I did like the sound, my issue was that when I docked my Ipod Touch 2g there was an immediate message on the ipod that said charging is not compatible with this accessory. I immediately went to the Amazon site and reread the listing. Keep in mind that I researched this and other comparable systems for about a week before I purchased. The Amazon site stated that it was compatible with the ipod touch 2g and that it charges all ipods. This is simply not true. I did a google search and found a review from a man on Amazon in the UK and he confirmed the error message that I was getting and he also stated that it is not compatible with the new Nano 4g. Amazon needs to change the description to reflect this. I purchased this through Amazon from [...] which I will say was very friendly and easy to deal with in the return process!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great sound- GREAT price., June 10, 2007

I have looked at this player and the Bose for several weeks now and decided on this one for several reasons... first the sound quality is very good and I noticed no difference between it and the Bose.... AND it was $100 cheaper than Bose. Also you can plug iPods and MP3 players into it as well as a laptop.... AND it runs video on your iPod which Bose does not... overall I just liked it better and spent the extra $100 on new music :)
