The other day a package came to my door. I had been expecting it. It was from SCC Grossman, a public relations firm, and I knew it contained an amplifier for my Apple Photo 30GB iPod. Upon opening the package I determined it was the iKicker from ...

Pros: The ability to really pump the music from your iPod, Good sound, Easy to use
Cons: No clock/radio function, Design is an acquired taste, price for some

Pros: Incredible sound, easy set up, loud volume, versatile, saves space
Cons: None from this user. I love this speaker system.

Pros: sound quality, the way the iPod sits in the dock, ease of use

Pros: Big sound (quality and volume), easy to use, connectivity
Cons: not toddler proof, design a bit different from iPod, a bit pricey

Up until now, my iPod Nano was only allowed to sound through the headphones and occasionally a FM transmitter to the car's stereo. The Kicker iKick iK500 changed that and the our rooms are now filled with music coming from a tiny mp3 player. Kicker is ...

Pros: Quality sound from your iPod!
Cons: No battery option

It seems that everyone has iPods now. When I was a kid, it was the Sony Walkman which played Cassettes! Back in that day, if you wanted your sound to boom, you just took your cassette out of your Sony Walkman and popped it into a boom box or your home ...

Pros: Powerful, clear sound, range from high treble to low bass, controls iPods and iPhones.
Cons: Large footprint, pricey, no radio tuner.

I have been intrigued by possible getting a set of iPod speakers for years, but the uniformly poor output has always stopped me from getting some. The Kicker iK500 powered speakers are less a work-around for the iPod than a stereo needing nothing more ...

Pros: Outstanding volume range, minimal music distortion, crisp, precise, excellent bass and treble, easy to use
Cons: Weaker midrange sound and midrange vocals, physically bound to proximity of electrical sockets

::: STYLE ::: The Kicker IK500 packs a lot of power in a compact form. It's not so big as to harass those wanting to move it around, yet it's not so small to appear meek or inconspicuous. I take particular appreciation in it's ...

Pros: Easy to use, great sound even on higher volumes
Cons: Not the best looking player on the market

Pros: Digital Sound Processing, Treble, Bass controls, plays full range!
Cons: It looks unique; my friend's all love the way it looks/sounds.

The Awesome iKICK, iK500 from KICKER reminds me of High School with a system in my Celica, except this system is in my living room, bathroom and garage! If you want full range sound, loud volumes, thunderous bass in your Dorm, basement, garage, den or ...
