 Awesome Rich Sound and easy on the eye November 4, 2008

Having recently being ripped off in the US with extremely poor sounding mini speakers for around 70 I was cautious of repeating the event with this US branded speaker.
The unit I bought was sold as sub standard, possibly with small marks and damaged box. In fact it was like new all round with only slight "strap" marks on the box. The benefit was the sub 70 price! Thank You Amazon....!
Out of the box the unit is neat and single piece. It comes with a laptop style power adaptor and mains plug so that take up a bit of desk space too.
Overall the iGroove looks compact and neat on the top of the kitchen counter or desk space, so long as you can hide the power brick somewhere.
There is an in built carry notch in top of the rear panel and several iPod adaptors (nano & mini) that can be slotted in the interface opening along with a combined lead and adaptor for connecting to standard "other" Mp3 via the earphone socket.
The manual is a slim affair but clear with good diagrams and multi lingual.
As stated in other reviews the small remote can not be housed anywhere in the main iGroove casing and is quite directional, in that it must be pointed directly at the Klipsch logo to work.
The remote does not however allow full control of the menu system, just the tracks selected, volume and play controls.
Distance with the remote does not seem to be a problem it works from the other side of the kitchen and is easier when you need to pause music or move to next track.
In fact its only really when you connect the iGroove up that you realise why a remote is useful...The iGroove has a truly room filling rich sound that can not be best appreciated with you head stuck next to the the sound outlet. The remote keeps you at more than arms length.
I spent many years as a musician and love the sound of realistic rich and deep music that brings you as close to the band/orchestra as possible As a result I'm a bit fussy with how music sounds.
The iGroove though is just awesome in its ability to present a clear full and deep sound stage from such a small unit. OK it can't possibly shift as much air as a large audiophile speaker - but the quality of sound is just astounding from the small ported enclosure.
Set on top of a Kitchen worktop the grille points slightly upward toward your ear and the iGroove is great in this position, deep rich bass penetrates gently without causing rumbles, mid range sound swells the air around you and crisp treble highlights pierce through to tinkle on your eardrum and its oh so clear....
Whatever other drawbacks the iGroove has (clunky power brick and dubious remote being the only two I an think of) you buy a speaker for its sound and the sound of this iGroove far outweighs any possible drawback.
Before buying the iGroove I had not heard of, or heard, any 'Klipsch' products - but if its product range is anything like this excellent value iGroove all in one speaker system, I am mightily impressed with the brand.
I highly recommend the iGroove.
Super bit of kit October 18, 2008

Had this for a couple of weeks and love it. Look's good and no issues with sound quality even at high volume. OK the remote is basic but what the hell it does not effect the sound quality. Well built.
Klipsch i groove is great!!! October 2, 2008
D. Robertson (Brighton, UK)
I got a Klipsch i groove for my birthday last year, and was blown away by the sound quality for it's size. The base comes out of no where!! And the sound is very nicely balanced and can fill any room evenly.
I compared it to the Bose ipod dock and I think that Klipsch completely blew them out of the water. The Bose system just doesn't deliver the base that the I groove does. I also think that for the money it's excellent value. It is also realy simple to opperate, just simply plug in and play.
The only down side to the i groove is the controls which only allows you to skip though tracks and not much else. It would be nice if they made a set of controls where you can fully control you i pod from the other side of the room. I my oppinion it is a nice, stylish bit of kit that looks as cool as it sounds!!!
 The IGroove is smoking October 1, 2008

Bought this device from Amazon, great sound, only problem after a year that the on off button disappeared inside the unit, so we had to use the remote. Today it decided to go up in smoke, a small fire started between the Igroove contacts and the Ipod destroying both units, unfortunately this happened three months out of warranty, the Ipod was 8 months old.
 Great sound, shame about the remote... September 12, 2008

I bought this product after reading the reviews on this site for the black version (I have a silver iPod and wanted them to go together). It's easy to use, reasonably portable - we took it on holiday with us in the box it came in - and sounds fantastic. Friends have a Bose SoundDock and this is definitely comparable.
However, as other reviewers have said, the remote control is next to useless. As far as I can tell, the one I received is only good for turning the volume up and down and then only if you're standing right in front of the machine, in which case, you might as well just push the buttons on the front of the unit. It's also really, really tiny. An integral slot or space on the unit in which to store the remote would have been very useful because it's going to get swallowed up by the house in no time.
Having said all that, if good quality sound at a reasonable price is what you're after, this is the one to go for.
