Klipsch's entry-level iGroove SXT iPod speaker system may be short on features, but it delivers a big, muscular sound considering its compact size.

This compact, no-frills iPod speaker dock doesn't offer many features, but delivers on audio quality.

For a more refined style and sound, we'd plump for the SXT...

...if all you want is an affordable, easy to use, decent-sounding iPod dock, and you aren't too bothered about looks, then the Klipsch iGroove SXT is definitely one to consider.

Overall, iGroove SXT is a strong but not amazing new speaker option from Klipsch: we think it’s the company’s best iPod offering yet on performance for the dollar and aesthetic design, and hopefully a sign of great things to come in the near future.

The Klipsch iGroove SXT combines a clean, detailed sound with a good balance between the bottom and mid-range. It’s a great dock for all-round use but less so if you like a lot of bass in your music.

Despite its deceivingly small stature and light weight, the iGroove delivers great fidelity at impressive volumes. It’s safe to say that few (if any) products in its price range offer anything close to its performance.
