Customer Review: I never knew anything like this could create unbelievable sound!
Summary: 5 Stars
Im not Luly, I'm her son and I'm 15 and an audiophile.
My background:
I listen to Rock, classical rock, pop, R&B, jazz, pop, dance, electronic, hip hop and some heavy rap to get the beats down. I love BASS deep rich but No distorion at all. I own a Altec Lansing im800 (one of the earlier docks that came out. about a 1 1/2 years ago), Klipsch Promedia 2.1, Bose Companion 3, Klipsch KG 4.2 Floorstanding speakers. I always knew Klipsch was a FANTASTIC brand, they all sound amazing, and better than Bose because Bose has barely any bass in their products (my opinion).
What I have to say about this product:
I went to the Apple store to listen to the iGroove, JBL soundstage 3, Bose ipod dock and another JBL but forgot the name of it. Then after listening to those I thought that the Klipsch was the best in my budget (nomore than 150$), and I plugged my ipod in the Bose and the Klipsch and didnt quite see the difference at all, the Bose had barely but a little more bass but it probly has 3inch drivers instead of 2 1/2 inch drivers that the Klipsch had. But it was also loud in there so I could be wrong.
After that I went to Best Buy to test out other docks and they had a Logitech Rechargeable Speaker S315i, Logitech Pure-Fi Anywhere Compact Speakers, and a Logitech Pure-Fi Express Plus Omnidirectional Speaker Dock for iPod and iPhone and also the Klipsch iGroove.
How did they sound??
JBL Soundstage 3: Very portable and good 360 degree sound. Has surprising great sound with its 1/1 1/2 inch drivers and has dual tweeters (one on each side). This had amazing bass for its SIZE. The highs and mids were well produced from this dock and were nice and clear. The loudness of this was amazing cause its small and this thing was cranked with NO distortion.
The atmosphere at best buy was surprisingly quite no other speakers were cranked up.
Logitech Rechargeable Speaker S315i: Really bad but not saying this t make Klipsch look good. The S315i had bass that sounded like someone was knocking on a wooden door. The high notes sounded flat with no enthusiasm. The mids were mixed in with the bass, but you could still hear the high notes. It woud be good for portability cause it wasnt very wide but just about 6-8 inches tall (maybe).
Logitech Pure-Fi Anywhere Compact Speakers: This is excelent if you want portability. The bass was SURPRISINGLY FULL AND RICH, one thing that makes the bass for this product full and rich was that it has two 3 inch pressure/passive radiator drivers. The 3 inch pressure/passive radiator drivers do nothing at all but bounce back and forth instead of having a ported hole for the air to push out, the 3 inch drivers increase bass response and less distortion. The mids and the highs were not really clear though, coming from two 2 inch full range drivers, I think this cause of the bass. This actually gets pretty loud without distortion.
Logitech Pure-Fi Express Plus Omnidirectional Speaker Dock for iPod and iPhone: This was good but not great. The bass was hearable and not like knocking on wood. The bass couldve been more richer and deeper. The mids were very good and the same with the highs. The music was very clear and all notes could be heard with this dock which is great. I didnt get this one because it didnt have enough bass for me. This can get loud too.
Klipsch iGroove SXT: I think this was the best portable one with amazing sound. The bass is very very full, deep and rich cause it has dual 2 1/2 inch long throw woofers and it has two ported holes (one on each side) unlike others that have nothing at all. But the ported hole doesnt even make the shuffling noise at lound volumes which is great. The highs and mids are excellent and noticable, because their being produced by the 2 horn tweeters (one on each side). This dockcan get very very loud with NO distortion at all!! This is a tiny bit taller than my bose wave radio and the length is about 2 inches shorter than the Bose wave raidio and the width is about half the width of the Bose Wave radio. The bose wave radio is NOT the double decker with 4 speakers instead of 2, I have the one with 2 speakers.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PORDUCT TO ANYONE WHO SEEKS AMAZING SOUND AND PORTABILITY!!
Description of Klipsch iGroove SXT Speaker System for iPhone and iPod (Black)
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. 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."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.

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.
