While it packs an impressive punch in terms of sound performance and feature set, the G-17 is more expensive than an iPad and doesn't seem worth its $550 price tag.

    The Good: The Klipsch Gallery G-17 Air is a great-sounding wireless speaker with AirPlay functionality. It can stream audio from any source that has iTunes installed along with any iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch. It'll also play audio over USB with Apple devices, and has an auxiliary input. The G-17 is also very easy to set up and offers a free iOS app for help with the initial setup.

    The Bad: The worst thing about the G-17 is its $550 price tag, which is among the higher-priced AirPlay units on the market. USB playback only works with Apple products, not with any USB device. The included remote feels a bit cheap.

    The Bottom Line: While it packs an impressive punch in terms of sound performance and feature set, the G-17 is more expensive than an iPad and doesn't seem worth its $550 price tag.
