Klipsch iGroove iPod Speaker System

09. Feb, 2010 2 Comments

Klipsch are a well respected brand in speaker systems and this iGroove product is a fantastic speaker unit packing a good punch in the speaker market. It’s stylish look and design and audio quality make it ideal for any living room. The iGroove plays all the dockable iPods and iPhones including the 5th generation Nano, the 3rd generation Touch as well as the iPhone 3G / 3Gs. It also comes with a neat cradle allowing you to play any MP3 player through a connection to the headphone socket.

The iGroove comes with a neat remote control allowing you to control the speakers and limited control to the iPod. The iGroove is a true two-way audio setup, featuring 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 iGroove is nicely curved to complete the stylish look. On the base unit are a volume control and the power button.

The Good
Having tested this out we found that the sounds was indeed excellent from this set of speakers. The sound more than filled a decent sized room and would be ideal for listening to at home or for parties at home or in a hall. We have used it for home listening and a party and it more than copes with both. At home we have 2 Nano’s and an iPhone and it’s great to be able to easily plug any device in and play the contents.

The Bad
We did find that our model would not charge the latest iPod nano (5th generation) or an iPhone 3Gs but this wasn’t a problem if you have enough charge in the iPod or iPhone at the time of playing.

Conclusion
Our overall satisfaction levels were high with this product. A good set of speakers for the home and they look stylish on any sideboard. They pack some power which is great for parties.

    The iGroove’s sound is so much better than any other iPod speaker in this price range, by far. I agree that this is a very good speaker.

    For those worried about their device not charging on the iGroove, the new iGroove SXT is supposed to be able to charge all iPods (apart from the Shuffle)and iPhone’s.

    Hi all- the iGroove Hg was upgraded in May 2009 and will now charge and play the full iPod and iPhone range including the iPhone 3GS.
    It’s not WWI certified yet unlike it’s sister model the iGroove SXT so best switched to aviation mode when listening to your tunes on an iPhone..

    Best regards
