Summary: Klipsch iGrovve is a Great Product
Comment: I picked this unit up at Sam's Club recently for $199 and love it.
Sounds great. Remote works well with my iPod 5G video. Only
unit similar in size I have heard myself that beats it is my Bose
Acoustic Wave. But that is a $1000 piece of equipment. This
unit is definitely worth the price of admission !

Summary: Beats Bose Hands Down...yet, beware
Comment: When I walked into the Apple Store at Chrsitmastime, I marched to the shelf with full intention of purchasing the Bose system similar to this one. When I asked the clerk to retrieve it from the back, however, he asked me if I was sure of what I wanted. He then pointed to the iGroove that sat next to its Bose counterpart on the display.
He entreated me to humor him for a moment for a demonstration, and he did a comparison of each system, with identical songs and volume. I liked the way the Bose system worked when he dropped an iPod into it, yet I was amazed to see the difference when a minute later, he played the iGroove by Klipsch. In comparison, the Bose seemed tinny and hollow. He went on to explain that the technology that went into the iGroove was much newer than the Bose I was looking into.
Perhaps by the time I write this review, the technology has changed again, and Bose has come out with something else. Yet, at the time (December 2005), this was the best option.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
We are very pleased with the sound provided by this little dynamo, as well its portability (I've taken it to work, and even camping in our pop-up). Yet, something funny happens every so often. It causes our iPod to freeze up. Mostly, this happens when I try to rapidly switch songs or playlists while it sits in its cradle, although to be honest, it has happened while just playing once or twice as well. I cannot say if this happens with other systems, as this is the only one we have experience with, but I can say that the iPod only freezes when it is in the dock. So, beware.
Even that said, it's still a 4 out of 5.

Summary: Sound Check
Comment: The July 2006 issue of Money magazine (pages 116-117) has "engineer-producer" Elliot Scheiner rate the Altec Lansing InMotion, Apple iPod Hi-Fi, Bose SoundDock, JBL On Time, and Klipsch iGoove HG. The "Field Test Winner" is the iGroove.
Costco online lists the iGroove for $224.99.
I'm saving some filthy lucre for the Klipsch. (My rating means nothing. I don't own one ... yet.)
Tussen Tak!

Summary: no dudes en comprarla
Comment: la verdad es una maravilla, las bose puede que sean mas populares pero la calidad del sonido del Igroove es extraordinaria, le das mas valor a tu Ipod , se convierte de ser un walkman caro a un sistema integral de sonido.

Summary: One flaw I've found...
Comment: I'm very pleased with this product in every respect...except one: The center dock for the iPod (I have a 20 Gb) fails to effectively buffer the considerable vibration from the integrated speaker system (which is itself rock solid, and devoid of distortion even at high volume). The vibration of the iPod in the dock, however, sometimes leads to very noticeable interference in the purity of the delivered sound, especially where there are heavy basses. The unit comes with a "J-Cup" (to accommodate non-iPod mp3 players), and using it appears to help eliminate this "problem," but there's a catch....the remote control becomes useless, the iPod won't charge, and volume range appears to be much more limited. I'm not sure how sensitive iPods are to vibration at these levels, but it makes me a bit uncomfortable, and I'm considering returning and replacing this unit with the iFi model, where the docking port is independent of the speaker cabinetry.

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. Available in a sleek silver 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. What's in the Box
iGroove speaker system, remote control, power supply, J-Cup, iPod mini adapter
