Recently improved the iGroove HG and iGroove SXT MFI now includes full iPhone compatibility, with 5V USB charging.  The older SXT models also worked with the iPhone and Touch, but were not able to charge these new Apple offerings.

Klipsch iGroove SXT MFI iPod & iPhone Speaker System

Klipsch iGroove SXT Review at CNET UK - Very Good

Summary: An extremely likeable iPod system, with a superb build and great sound quality considering the price. It’s ideal for students and wouldn’t be out of place in a bedroom. It’s no hi-fi alternative, but for £100 it’s very good indeed

We Like: Design; price; sound quality; S-Video output for older video-enabled iPods.

We Don’t Like: Video output not compatible with iPhone and 6th-gen video iPods; remote has limited functionality
