 NO GOOD FOR 4G NANO January 8, 2009
This is very good when used with my iPod Classic. The sound quality is very good and the remote is easy to use, but if you want this for use with a 4G Nano, then I'd suggest going elsewhere as it won't charge!!!
Apple removed the Firewire charging circuit from the 4G Nano, hence this unit can access all the other features fine, but is incpaable of charging a Nano up. Other than that it is a good unit.
I gave it 3 stars because the idea was to have this in the living room for anyone to plug their iPod into, but as the rest of the famly have Nanos, that idea isn't very practical. I'm not going to return it but it is a bit of a flaw that will alter the way I use it.
 Bose-beater!! January 7, 2009
I finally bought this after reading so many good reviews at the current good price from Amazon. Mate of mine got a Bose dock for Xmas, and on NYE it filled the room with the sound at the house party and I was very impressed. I looked at how much they are and started shopping around. Saw several alternatives but none with as many positive reviews as this one!
I'm not normally one to write reviews but on this occasion I have to! Brilliant! ...would be the best word to describe this piece of kit from Klipsch! And a Bose-beater IMO! If you want value for money then even at the full RRP this is a great buy - fills the room, just as clear as the Bose, and looks and feels better than the Bose also! And how much cheaper!?
Doesn't charge my iPhone but that's no problem, it charges my iPod which is the main thing. Also, AUX in will allow me to use a 3.5mm jack to jack from my laptop to play my laptop through it which is a bonus for those tracks I don't have on my iPod yet...
10/10!!
Great Buy! January 6, 2009
If you are considering a docking station for your ipod classic, look no further than the Klipsch igroove. I read all the reviews that endorsed this product over the Bose, which I was prepared to pay over 200 for, when I came across this bargain. I took the plunge and it arrived well packaged, and clearly a quality product once unpacked. Even before I turned it on I was pleased with the look and style, then the sound, superb for the money and easily equal to a Bose. My Dad has a Bose and I know my igroove is as good, if not better. At less than 90 I am absolutley quids in and have a better docking station, take it from me this is quality!
 Sleek, solid, great sound - but won't charge 2G iPod Touch January 6, 2009
Did plenty of research on speakers for my original iPod nano and settled on these ones - over 200 customer reviews at that point with an average of 5 stars... not bad! I wasn't disappointed either. These are heavy/solid, sleek and stylish speakers - they look great but they sound even better. It's a rich, deep sound from these ones and, although you can't adjust the sound quality (it's just volume up or down), they are perfect for the living room and portable enough to take away (we took them to a cottage we'd rented for New Year and they served us well - quiet dinner parties, rowdy party music and late night chilling all covered brilliantly). The only downside for me is that I've just changed to an iPod Touch which these speakers won't charge - for other iPods, you can play quality music and charge the iPod at the same time. Nevertheless, the quality makes up for this niggling lack of functionality. Well worth the investment.

If you are looking for great sound quality and not bothered about bells and whistles this is a superb piece of kit. For the money it is a steal.
However, niggles include not being able to charge up my new nano whilst docked and also the remote control is limited to volume and skipping tracks.
One final positive is that it looks the business!!!!
