Kensington SX-2000 Speakers for iPod

Separate bass unit': No, THX certification': No, # of channels: 2, # of satellites: 1, Controls on satellites (spec...

Very nice design. Very good sound quality, even at top volume.

No remote or tone controls. Some digital noise from iPods is audible when music is not playing.

The Kensington SX-2000 Speakers for iPod speaker/dock has very good sound quality, a very cool flat-panel design at a reasonable price, and enough volume to fill a dorm room, den, or office.

Kensington SX 2000 Speakers

A sailor will always tell you to check where you dock before you commit to anything. There's still some truth in that old maxim.

NXT's flat-panel speakers sound fabulous

No remote control; won't sync your iPod; overpriced

The all-in-one formfactor is marvelous for a bookshelf or tabletop, but the 18-inch-wide package makes an awkward PC partner, because the only way to get a proper stereo image is to plop it right in front of your monitor.

Kensington SX-2000 iPod speakers Review and Prices

Speaker systems for the iPod and other popular MP3 players seem to be everywhere these days. Most use the same basic formula, with a set of conventional speakers and, occasionally, a subwoofer of some sort. Kensington's SX-2000 takes a right turn at...

Unusual speaker design produces smooth response across the entire audible range. Universal docking station supports and can recharge most iPods

No remote and sparse controls. Placing the system for best sound can be tricky

Kensington SX2000 Speakers with Universal Dock

Despite the fact that we've tested virtually every iPod-specific speaker system released to date, we don't consider ourselves speaker snobs - some are better than others in specific ways, but we firmly believe that speakers can be designed to appeal to...

A visually unique docking speaker system for the iPod with charging capabilities, stated compatibility with Apple's Universal Dock standard. Performs audio bi-directionally through its front and back, which may be useful if placed in the center of a...

Not as strong on audio performance (stereo separation, trebles, mids) as comparably priced options. "Universal" dock does not work with Apple's 5G iPod inserts, include inserts for many previous iPod models, or permit iPod synchronization. Unlike...

I just received the Kensington sx2000 speakers and I LOVE it. People keep saying that the sound quality is disappointing but I have to disagree. Of course I'm not a professional so maybe my standards of sound quality aren't as high as experts, but as a...

Lots of positives here, but a few minor negatives, too

Flat-panel speaker gives a big, room-filling sound that goes loud

Lacks excitement; mains-only; has no remote; needs extra space; doesn't sync

Review: Kensington SX2000

Boasting flat-panel speaker technology and bi-directional sound, Kensington's iPod speaker dock is a little more visually engaging than some we've seen.

The looks are definitely a big factor: in a market flooded by iPod speakers, it's nice to see something a little different.

A number of small niggles really drag down the SX2000, which is unfortunate.

Kensington SX-2000

It is always impressive when interesting design meets good technology, and the Kensington SX-2000 Speakers for iPod definitely fills the bill. This combination of iPod speakers and a docking cradle (which is compatible with all iPods that have a dock...
