    Great Value & Versitile

    What a huge value for the money. So much versatility in a cheap set of powered speakers! I got them for computer speakers. Have them hooked up via USB to my iMac Pro. 3D printed some vibration isolating speaker stands for them to bring them up to ear level. Connected a 180W 10" Dayton Audio sub up to them via the sub out. Highly recommend connecting a sub to these speakers. Great cheap Klipsch 2.1 computer speaker setup. You can even hook up a turntable to them!

    Great sound with legendary Klipsch signature

    I have been looking for a nice set of powered speakers to go with my Pro-ject Debut Carbon Evo and Klipsch has always been on my mind. I looked at other brands on Amazon and seriously thought about getting those instead of the Klipsch. I'm glad I didn't. The Klipsch is a very sexy looking speaker. It's big and heavy. Bigger than I thought. I love the copper spun cones. Quality is nice but you can definitely tell that the cabinet is covered in the faux wood grain vinyl.As for sound, the Klipsch outperforms, even with against my Sony HT-A5000. Excellent sound, from the crisp high, and nice mello

    Exactly What I Would Expect from Klipsch

    Although I am still in the honeymoon phase, I am truly enjoying these speakers. I bought them for 2 reasons, to add some decent quality sound to the bedroom and run the TV audio signal through them. For some reason, the audio signal is really suppressed through the cable box and we have a hard time hearing the TV. These speakers enable us to hear the TV. The TV audio signal does not crank up very loudly, but that is not why I got the speakers. That is not due to the speakers; that is due to the audio signal coming through the cable box.The sound quality is superb. Whenever I am listening to ne

    Pretty darn decent

    I'm a professional audio guy, singer songwriter, producer and engineer. I'm not touting these speakers for studio production, that's not what they do. My ears are still pretty good. I bought these to enhance the sound quality of streaming tv and music apps in my large open living space attached (bluetooth) to my Sony 75" tv. They connected easily to the Sony. I also bluetooth connected my Samsung S21 to them but notice that it's not possible to bluetooth connect more than one device at a time. Its a simple 5 second swap on the tv to get my phone to be the sound source.They're very small. I had

    Great Value Speakers

    Great speakers for a first purchase. Been using them for a month now and couldn’t be happier. Got into vinyl about 3 months ago and these have taken the sound to the next level. The build quality for the price point is solid. I know I will eventually upgrade to a bigger size but definitely a great choice for a first time buyer. The sound quality is crisp, although the bass could be a little punchier. The remote is a nice feature. For any first time buyers with looking to get speakers, these are a great choice. They are self powered, and are ready to hook straight up to your turntable.

    These speakers put all soundbars to shame and sound like much bigger speakers. Perfect TV solution

    I was really disappointed with most soundbars I listened to..even Yamaha...they all try to compensate for horrible sound quality with sound effects and it sounds synthetic..like fake burger meat. 5.1 is a misleading term as soundbars can't even do simple stereo sound decently. For true stereo sound, you need to position speakers far from each other..so soundbars are fundamentally an inferior product....unless they make a 10 feet soundbar the size of a kayak.Enter Klipsch's active speaker solution...I feel this is the best product for a home theatre solution for smaller city apartment..for movi

    Great soind for a fair price.

    Really happy with my purchase. I am an audiophile on a budget and in.an apartment. They don't quite give enough bass but generally you should be okay especially if you don't want to annoy neighbors.Two tips:1. Break them in. Yes, I know that's controversial but after about 2 weeks with the. They started to sound amazing.2. I actually found that toeing them out about 30 degrees created a better stereo image. ( at least in my apartment) I have them on a TV stand at ear level and I sit about 4.5 feet away from them. I think they sound better this way be ause of the dispersion from the wave guide

    Bluetooth makes the product unusable

    The speakers by themselves are good, not great. The reason for the 1 star review is that the Bluetooth functionality makes the speakers unusable completely. For my setup I have a record player that’s goes into auto search functionality whenever it’s on and not connected to Bluetooth even when it’s wired via aux. Fine, that does suck, but that’s beside the point. This record player has never been paired to the Klipsch speakers, however the speakers slip from AUX mode into Bluetooth mode every couple of minutes. Which turns off the audio because as I said before they’ll two devices have never be
