After going from store to store and checking out ipod speakers, I first saw this at Circuit City and was immediately blown away. Brought it from Amazon for under 200.00 and I am a very satisfied ik500 customer.

Like many have said, this speaker has some impressive sound for its size. My only disappointment is that it does not have a powered subwoofer. The 6" "sub" is really a passive radiator that feeds off the 4" drivers. So while it does have impressive bass it cannot hit lows very well (i.e. <100Hz), and consequently rap/hip hop doesn't sound so great. Having heard many other ipod systems the Kicker probably cranks out more mids and lows than any other out there. Having said that, you should understand that you are compromising many features. You can only play music from an ipod or aux device, so no radio or CD (but who uses these anyway?) Overall, it's a nice system and with great sound quality and a decent price.

THIS THING GETS SO LOUD,, IM SO HAPPY I BOUGHT THIS,, I RECOMEND THIS FOR MOVIES

Over all very happy with my product! Like others have said, the back handle is a little shallow... no big deal. Sound is great!!! Plenty of BASS and treble!!!

Kicker iK500 iPod Speaker Dock (Black) This is an excellent speaker system for portable use. It has very good sound quality and excellent volume. I also like the option of inputing a laptop or other MP3 player to this speaker system. Two minor shortfalls: 1. the carrying handle is built into the top of the box and is a bit shallow for an adult's hand; you get the impression you will drop the speaker. 2. the dock station is about one centimeter to short. My 40G, fourth generation, click wheel iPod just barely fits into the dock. But it does fit and the remote control works to move thru the songs, something most other protable speaker systems do not accomplish. It would be nice if a carrying case were either supplied or offered as an option. Overall I am very happy with this purchase.
