Almost Perfect!,

This review is from: Kensington 33165 SX 2000 Speakers and Dock for iPod & iPod Nano (Electronics)
I love this little speaker!!! It is compatible with almost all types of MP3 player and all the ipods. I have it for a few months and it works perfectly! Sound quality is great, superior bass! I am really picky about the quality of mini speakers and have tested numerous of them. None is perfect. But my research and experience have convinced me that currently there are only these four the best so far. Here is a brief comparison of the three most wanted ipod/mp3 speakers:
Bose SoundDock Digital Music System: Best sound quality but less perfect bass effect;
Klipsch IGroove: Better bass quality than Bose but sound quality not as good as Bose but is great enough to produce excellent theater effect in your room;
Kensington SX200: For the price, unbeatable! you won't find another of equal quality! Bass is a tiny little bit less great than Bose, but comparable! More reliable than Bose and Klipsch!Slim design! I dropped my on the floor twice and nothing was wrong so far--not even...Read more

Great gift item (for you or someone else!)...incredible sound!,

This review is from: Kensington 33165 SX 2000 Speakers and Dock for iPod & iPod Nano (Electronics)
First off, I read a review about these sounding like a laptop's speakers...no way! These speakers are really loud and have excellent bass. I use these for my home office, but also move them to my kitchen and my backyard for parties and when I'm using the hot tub.
That's one thing that's really missing from the other ipod speakers I looked at. Except for Bose and Kensington, they all sound tinny...you know that sound that makes you wince when it is turned up loud.
Not the Kensington speakers. The bass is fantastic, and the overall sound is great. Plus it fits my iPod video and if I ever get the nano or something new, it will fit that too because it has the "universal well". My sister came over for the holidays and had an iPod shuffle, and it has an auxillary input so you can play the shuffle as well.
All around, I am really happy with this. It looks great, sounds great, and is a perfect way to add music to any room in my house.

Good for price but not great sound,

I like this unit for the price, but was disappointed in the sound quality because I was expecting too much from the reviews. I don't know where all the claims of good sound quality are coming from because it's really not that great. My Altec Lansing inMotion iM7 has much better sound quality and far superior bass (but it costs a lot more). However, I think the sound is "OK" for the size of the unit and because of the price, size, and design, I'm giving it 4 stars. But don't buy this if you want very good/great sound quality. It's just "OK".
