Ab Work Outs: Kicker iK501 Digital Stereo System for iPhone and iPod (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Kicker has really out done themselves again with the iK500 and iK501. Recently, my iPod speakers for my bathroom kicked the bucket so I was put in the position having to replace it. I have to say, the best thing that could have happened, happened. After tremendous tedious research, I decided to purchase the Kicker iK501. I love this little powerful beat box. Don't be detoured by how petite it is. The iK501 has napoleon syndrome to say the least. I was a little hesitant because it broke the 200 dollar mark, but well worth every penny! If you are looking for a room pounding, ear ringing, heart skipping boom, and the best darn acoustic speaker system for the iPhone/iPod, look no further. This thing packs a punch like Mike Tyson in his teens! Only thing missing was a clock/alarm, but I am sure kicker will redesign the new model to incorporate one. I have tested iPod speakers, compatible with the iPhone from every imaginable local retailer around like Best Buy, Target, Wal-Mart, and Sears. The closest thing that can somewhat hold its own with the iK501 cost over one hundred dollars more, and is not made by a company who's expertise is sound acoustics. When I pulled it out of the box and took the system for a test run, I did not expect to spend over an hour testing the product. Kicker hit a home run with this little boom box.One last thing to include, I used to work in a car audio shop and these speaker can blow away anything Blows (Bose) has out for the iPod/iPhone!!!!! They could only dream of hitting the frequencies that the Kicker iK500 and iK501 units blast out! Well worth every penny!!!
