Customer Rating:      Summary: Amazing system... Comment: For all the idiots who gave this one star...well there retards...
The sound quality is immense! The bass is incredibvel for such a small system...I do no a lot about sound and video so im some idiot who thinks there good when there not.
I would HIGHLY recomend these to EVERYONE!
And u say a guy who rated these one star...He said the bass on his hip-hop music was rubbish...I play high bass dance and hiphop...proper dance music through these and the bass is insane! there awsome
Customer Rating:      Summary: JUST WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR!!! Comment: Having scouted around various stores for the perfect i-pod speakers for my i-pod touch I came across this item in Amazon. All the reviews are spot on here, this is a lovely piece of kit for parties, which I have a lot of! and by buying with Amazon saved a whopping £50. The sound is excellent and does not distort when you pump up the volume.
Highly recommended and not to be overlooked.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Great machine Comment: 1 - I would like to thank all of you reviewers very much. I bought on what you said and I am really delighted. So glad to be in such good company.
2 - All I care about is the sound. It's great: end of story.
3 - Every little problem is well reviewed and while I agree with what everyone says I actually am getting to like these little problems. Regardless of these - the sound is great, so I'm happy.
Thanks again.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Look before you leap... Comment: I wouldn't recommend this product at all. The bass is far too prominent even when the Ipod bass reducer is on. I can't enjoy listening to my music through these speakers because of this. It creates such a horrible bassy wash over all my favourite songs that actually gives me headaches.
It's big and it's heavy also. Not really a bad thing but potential buyers should be aware that it's not really the kind of thing you'd throw in your suitcase when going away.
The other irritating thing is the minimum volume level. It is still pretty loud. It's almost as though with one press of the - button the volume skips from a 5 to a 0.
Given the choice I would have looked elsewhere. I am now looking for new speakers but am not going to buy anything until I have tested it and I would encourage everyone to do the same (even if they are on special offer). Try before you buy.

Customer Rating:      Summary: Steady on folks, some bad points too Comment: This is the best sounding dock available in my view (for more enthusing about how great this sounds see the other reviews). BUT you should be aware of some bad points too. This unit is not compatible with any iPod alarm clock function. When there's no music going into it the iGroove automatically shuts down after ten minutes so you can't use the iPod alarm with the 3.5mm jack either. With the iPod docked there is no low volume on this thing! Only VERY LOUD, loud, normal, fairly quiet and OFF. To get quiet music (for, say, reading in bed at night) you have to use the 3.5mm jack and use the iPod volue separately to turn it down. It seems the vast majority of the £100 goes into making it sound good at normal volume, which it does very well. The gloss coating is also very nice, it's a real coating not just shiny black plastic. Clearly not worth five stars because it is not fully compatible with iPods (no skip track or menu on the remote, no alarm compatibility) despite being 'designed for iPod'.

The compact and stylish Klipsch iGroove not only accepts and charges all dockable iPods, it also works with the Nano, Shuffle, a variety of MP3 players and other audio devices using the included dock adaptors. Now available in this high Gloss sleek black finish, it has an aesthetic flair that nicely complements almost any room's decor. It features dual 2.5-inch fiber-composite woofers in a ported enclosure, dual 1-inch MicroTractrix Horn-loaded tweeters and a built-in iPod dock. To ensure an optimal and precise dispersion pattern, the exclusive MicroTractrix Horns are formed into the speaker baffle, a design that offers the lowest diffraction and maximum release of energy into the listening area. The system is ready to perform as soon as you plug it in and dock an iPod, and the included wireless remote control allows interaction with both the iGroove and iPod. The iGroove comes with a convenient solution for allowing the use of the Shuffle and other MP3 players. The include "J-Cup" insert can be placed in the docking area for MP3 players that use a standard mini-jack (headphone) stereo output.
