Modern Audio w/Vintage Looks!
Frankly, Klipsch is a well known audio company, so we were confident in it's quality. With that being said, I was left expecting just a little more than what was delivered. Granted, it still delivered plenty of crisp, clean audio which makes for great back ground noise. Isn't excessively loud nor heavy bass. Battery life seems to be fairly short and when it's low, it let's you know by fading the concent being played in and out every few seconds. However; the vintage look was one of the main reasons we opted for this piece! For all those reasons, it got a 4 out of 5.

Great sound for office!
This speaker was purchased for my husband's office. He said the sound quality is good for the room! This is not ideal for larger rooms as the sound will carry as well. The speaker is small but is solid. Overall it was a very good deal for what we needed it for!

Crisp, clean, beautiful with only minor limitation
This is a fantastic speaker as the price would suggest. There are limitations with respect to bass range and overall volume level that make me think this is right for a personal listening situation rather than room filling sound. Bass response is limited with little punch and occasional buzzing in certain bass-heavy genres of music. On the other hand, the mids and highs are fantastic. Vocals and horns are bright and clear surpassing Sony, JBL, and Bose models in the same price range. Great for rock: Able to hear many tiny nuances in guitar riffs and drumlines. Excellent for jazz and classical: jazz vocals and horns are crisp and bright. Distortion free even at high volumes. Good for R&B: there is no voice this speaker doesn't reproduce beautifully and realistically. Electronic bass lines occasionally find some buzzing and low frequencies. Acoustic and bass guitar though. . . Different story; they are surprisingly clean and detailed especially considering the size. Also, if design matters, this is beautifully crafted piece of equipment. Clean metal corners and textured coverings come together to give a modern design an authentic retro feel.

Allow for break in time!
I bought this to have a small portable music source while working around the house. I've owned Klipsch speakers for decades, with a 43 year old pair of Klipschorns in my main system, and a 26 year old pair of La Scalas in the "man cave", so I am quite familiar with the Klipsch "sound". I was curious about what their version of a BT speaker would sound like and was honestly a bit apprehensive about this speaker when I discovered that it uses only a single 3" driver. No stereo driver arrangement? Don't need it! The sound is emanating from a single point! No separate woofer and tweeter? That could still be an issue if that 3" driver can't reproduce a wide enough range of frequencies. So I took a chance and bought the unit on sale for a little over $100. Unpacking it, I was impressed with the build quality and heft of the unit. I'm sure most of the weight is from the magnet in the driver and the L-ion battery pack. It's like a little audio brick! At first use, I thought I would need to return the unit. It sounded congested in the midrange, bass was very thin and there were no highs to speak of. I'm glad I didn't return it immediately, because after about 12 hours of playback (2 times full charge to discharge) that little 3" driver started to break in and really opened up! Now I would purchase this unit again if I lost it! Not the highest of highs or lowest of lows, but detailed, articulate sound with enough volume to work outside. Took it to the beach and streamed Spotify over it, and everyone remarked about how such a little unit made such a big sound! Over the sound of ocean waves, Zac Brown Band's "Toes" and "Hwy 20 Ride" sounded great from this little unit! Recommended! No regrets on this purchase!
