Klipsch iGroove All in One Digital Music System
Born to rock any room, the Klipsch iGroove all-in-one iPod/MP3 speaker system delivers audiophile-quality sound anywhere, anytime. With its stunning high-gloss silver finish and class-leading technology, the dynamic performer turns ordinary MP3 players into high-style, high-performance entertainment centers. Unlike other docking speaker systems on the market, the iGroove works with almost all MP3 player brands, as well as any gadget that has an audio out or headphone jack with a standard miniplug–including cell phones, gaming machines, and portable satellite radios. In addition, the system comes with special adapters for the iPod mini and nano and a “universal” J-cup adapter for the iPod shuffle and standard MP3 players. Third- and fourth-generation dockable iPods, meanwhile, fit directly into the iGroove for playback and charging.
A true two-way system, the iGroove gets its dynamic soul courtesy of dual 2.5-inch fiber- composite woofers in a ported enclosure and dual 1-inch MicroTractrix horn-loaded tweeters. The iGroove is one of the few speaker systems in this category to utilize horn technology, a highly efficient design that reproduces genuine, lifelike sound, with minimal diffraction and maximum release of energy into the listening area. The end result is a crisp frequency response of 65 Hz to 17 kHz that’s far wider than many comparable systems. As the name implies, the iGroove truly lets you get your groove on.
In addition to easily filling a room with smooth, crisp sound, the iGroove is also extremely simple to operate. All you have to do is plug it in, pop in an iPod or hook up an MP3 player, and hit play. The included IR handheld remote handles full system control, while the integrated handle makes it easy to tote around. The iGroove HG measures 16 by 6 by 6 inches (W x H x D), weighs a mere 4.6 pounds, and is backed by a one-year warranty on parts and labor.

User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Excellent sound
This speaker has excellent sound (we were very surprised). It won’t fit on the nightstand as we were hoping but it’s so attractive, we found an alternative location in the bedroom. After reading some of the other reviews, we never leave the iPod connected the speaker when it’s off (so no issues there).
5 Stars Great for the casual listener
I’m giving this version of the iGroove 5 stars not because I know anything about great sound systems, but rather to emphasize how good it is for the (very) amateur audiophile.
My wife got an ipod at about the time our stereo gave up the ghost. We decided finding a way to use the ipod as our sole music source would be a convenient way to go. After a little research on Amazon, I decided to give this product a try. We couldn’t be happier…so simple to use, so portable, and enjoyable sound production.
The only negative I’ve noticed thus far is the lame remote control. Oh well, it’s a big thumbs up nevertheless.
4 Stars Loving the Igroove
We have been very happy with our igroove. It is just what we were looking for to put on our screened in porch when we are grilling outside. It gives off a great sound without sound distortion when the volume is turned up. It is also very easy to operate and carry from room to room if you choose. We have had a lot of fun with it, and I highly recommend this product.
5 Stars exceeded my expectations
I recently purchased this product and I LOVE it!!! It sounds amazing and I can use it with my ipod or my creative zen mp3 player with the included J cup. The only thing I had a problem with was the J cup at first. It did not say anything in the instructions but you have to turn the volume up on the mp3 player and the station to raise the volume enough. Once I figured that out it was perfect. My brother paid 3 times this much for a Bose and said mine was just as good!!! I found the reviews to be representative.
3 Stars The remote barely works
I purchased this unit via a 3rd party amazon dealer, The unit looks great and sounds excellent, no complaints over the sound quality. My only grievance is that the remote is practically useless, I have to stand directly in front of the unit and hold it around 15 cms from the face plate for it to recognize anything. The damn thing just does not work across the room. Also the unit does not come with a battery backup, you will need to lug around the the thick power brick anywhere you take it. I bought this as a present for my wife who was hoping to use it in the bath but the cumbersome power brick made this impossible. I did not return the unit as I fell in love with the deep rich sound, i now have it plugged in my kitchen.
