Customer Ratings & Reviews

After 7 years, one of the speakers of my much loved 2.1 Logitech system crapped out and it was time to look for something new. After much research I had to decide on a system optimized for gaming or music. Since I do very little gaming, it was an easy choice after listening to this Klipsch system. I am very happy with the sound and hope they last as long as my previous system. Much better than the current offerings by Logitech and Boston Acoustics. YMMV As a side note, I have repurposed the sub from the old Logitech system and hooked it up to two BIC Venturi bookshelf speakers I got on the cheap and now have a kick-a** 2.1 system for the TV to combine with the soundbar.

Nice clear and clean sound and I listen to bass heavy EDM. Get's louder than you can stand when sitting in front of it. Blows the Bose stuff out of the water. Buy it, you won't be disappointed.

Anything branded with the name Klipsch is a winner. When I first tried this unit out at Best Buy, I was blown away. This system deliver rich, clear, full bodied sound. At the time, it by far was the most superior system Best Buy was offering by a landslide. Don't hesitate at all in taking this one home. Enjoy!!

I couldn't believe the stunning sound that came from these speakers. They live up to their THX rating... they are incredible!

Amazing quality sound. I appreciate that the cords are long so they can reach my computer; however, this might be too much for people who have a computer right by their speakers. Also, the current picture does not show the covers that the two speakers have. They are solid black and conceal the moving parts of the speaker.

Amazing speakers with real nice subwoofer that provides a very strong bass.

I just hooked these up and I thought I should preview a movie before time to eat supper. So I started watching The Revenant using VLC Media player. I had the audio on my pc set at 31 and turned up the speakers to about 25%. They sound loud, clear but just a tiny bit muddied. So i paused the movie, went to the equalizer settings and set it on Live. I then slightly moved the sliders up in the high frequency section and resumed my movie. There's that WOW! Man, when the bear attacks the guy you better stand back. I closed my eyes and I could swear there was a bear on me. Whew! I sure am glad I got these. Now if they'll last for a few years I'll be happy. Awesome Speakers!

Being an owner of theolder ProMedia 4.1 and 5.1 Ultra THX systems, I can POSITIVELY say that this 2.1 system DOES NOT dissapoint! Same great Klipsch sound quality and volume you'd expect from a brand like Klipsch. For looks and sound, satellites are virtually identical to the ones you get with the 4.1 system, with the control pod on the bottom of one of them to adjust volume and bass, and the headphone jack on the side of the pod. The subwoofer is considerably smaller than the one offered with the ProMedia 4.1 system however, I was pleasantly surprised by the output of it. At high volumes, It's output is lower than the 4.1's due to the smaller, single driver design, but don't let the size fool you, this sub is more than enough for any small to mid-sized room, and WILL rattle the windows AND shake the walls! As a proud owner of the entire Klipsch ProMedia line (with the exception of the GMX series), i can say that the 2.1 system does not disappoint. It will smash ALL OTHER speaker systems in it's price-point, and provides the best bang-for-the-buck! The only other system on the market that can compete with the ProMedia 2.1 system is the Bose Companion 2.1 however, you will pay approx 2-3 times more for them.

If you are like me you read these reviews before making a purchase. But there are a lot of variables to consider, not the least of which is the expertise of the reviewer. Someone not familiar with high fidelity might give a review that is flawed because of their lack of experience with high quality sound. That is not the case here. I have considerable experience with high fidelity going back to the late 1970's. This little Klipsch speaker system is amazing. Considering that I am using the sound card that came with my computer, it's incredible. We all know it's all about the bass (not really) and the sub can rattle your fillings. You want volume? No problem. Even louder? Can do. I remain very impressed with how well it performs all across the audio spectrum. I could not be more pleased. Concerning some minor points I read in other reviews let me speak to just two. There is no power switch. Once plugged in it stays on. However, that's not necessarily a bad thing. It's a non-issue as far as I'm concerned. I also recall reading some comments about over driving the sub at high volumes. That's nonsense. The sub output control only has to be turned a hair to produce some serious rafter shaking bass. I have no idea why anyone would use anymore bass boost let alone use so much that they over drive the speaker. That is also a non-issue. I have only good things to say about this computer speaker system and if I were you, I would buy it.

I am very serious about my sound and this system delivers. The overall sound package is very expansive and accurate, even given the tiled room and not so ideal placement at the moment. I hear all of the details I can hear with good headphones and a pretty close to spot on frequency response with super clean volume- the kind of clean where I don't realize how loud it is until I step out of the room for something. As for pretty close to spot on frequency response, I'm extremely picky about sound and right out of the box, running any source flat with zero EQ, (which I wholeheartedly recommend first) I have been completely content and wowed. And the low end is just killer. Thick, full, yet tight, and I have yet to even have it beyond 8 to 9 o'clock, never mind the 10 o'clock sweet spot they have marked. I do have the sub on the floor and against the wall, as it should be, and almost directly below the satellites. Having the sub in a corner to get the most of the low end response is not even necessary. The lows are that deep. No artificial low end boost needed via EQ at all. They're most certainly not hollow and just boomy- very clean and enjoyable bass TONES, not just thump and bump. If you have thin walls, prepare to be nagged!! The actual volume is hard to predict as with my roomates I have not had the need, or the ability, to have it past 10 o'clock thus far. The couple times it was even that far, the whole house could clearly hear what I had playing. As for music, which is all I've done with them so far, I listen to everything from old Van Halen, to Kieko Matsui, to Bjork, to Pantera, and everything flys perfectly.. For THE MONEY, the only thing close I saw was Logit**c and sorry, they'll just never come close. Hey, If I'm wrong, along with many others it seems, so you have to make a trip back to either spend way more unnecessarily, or end up with far less sound quality. Happy Listening..

Generally speaking I am very pleased with this purchase although I had to return the first speaker system because of a loose DIN connector. The replacement speaker system works perfectly and I'm very pleased with the sound. It's well balanced and a little on the bright side which is how I like my music. That being said, the low end is strong enough to rattle your windows if that's what you want to do. I don't think I could get anything better sounding than the Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 without spending a lot more money. For my purposes they're ideal. Speakers are very subjective and you really should listen to them if possible before buying. However, Best Buy has an excellent return policy and I'm sure you would be able to return the speakers if you were unhappy with them. As for me, I'm happy with the Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 system.

I purchased this system to have have some tunes at work that can be heard over power tools. I installed it on a rack that I built to house the speaker system, power strip, and tool battery chargers. It works well for my intended purpose, Although I 'm generally using it doing commercial construction in indoor environments, the system also works well hanging out on the porch swing having a cold one.. My only complaint is I would like for it to have it's own power switch for the speaker system.

Klipsch has a long history and acclaimed reputation, and all though these are their low end speakers, they're top notch. Take a chance on these over the similarly priced Logitech speakers. If your a bass enthusiast, you'll love them, and they're plenty loud enough for anyone, or any computer. They're not neccessarily what I'd consider audiophile like sounding (which if you are one, you already know of, or own a set of these speakers), which should only slightly concern those primarily using them for music, but that's what I use them for and they're more than fine, actually great (They handle 24 bit quality wonderful). 2.1 speakers aren't usually meant for audiophiles anyway (2.0), and there's only a very limited amount of top notch desktop speakers out there, and Klipsh's are as good as it gets for under $250. I actually can only think of one set of desktop speakers around the $200 range that I'd prefer over these, but they're 2.0 (and meant for music), so they of course have less bass considering there's no subwoofer. Either way, they're excellent, you can't go wrong here and that's for whatever type of media you're using them for.

I bought this system for a small den where I'm running a Mac mini and several different gaming systems. I was skeptical about the quality at first and didn't think I would be happy with it because it was replacing a 9 year old Bose system and I wasn't able to hear it in the store. Setup was very easy and I'm very impressed with the sound quality for this price range! Most systems at this price range I find don't give you enough boom for your buck, but this Klipsch can really rattle a room. This system has an adjustable control for the subwoofer and is capable of operating at a high volume with minimal distortion. I've used it for gaming, movies and music, and I find the sound clarity to be very good and I don't have to operate this system at max. I've been so impressed with this system that I'm actually thankful I didn't wast the money to buy another Bose!

This is the best computer speakers i have ever had and it is my third set. I was not surprised at all of the quality, after all it's a klipsch system. The sub can hit way lower than many current top end computer speakers.........oh and yeah, it's very loud, you won't be disappointed. It shakes my entire room and echos into the living room still carrying those low notes. Music you can hear and feel. My advice to anyone is to ensure you follow the instructions as to where to place the sub-woofer, remember the rear and side with the woofer must face a wall to get that rebound and better sound quality. AMAZING product Klipsch!!!Highly recommend this!!!!!!!!

The Klipsch Promedia 2.1 speakers have really good sound quality, but the basic design hasn't changed since they were introduced over a decade ago. I was hoping for something with modern style connectors, rather than little wires that you clip into place. Also, the satellites are a bit bulky, and didn't fit well on my desktop, as compared to some other speaker systems. The main problem I had was that, at low volume, there's not enough current to power the left satellite to the same volume as the right satellite. There is a workaround that involves turning the volume down very low in the computer itself, but that affects how I use my software, and I wasn't willing to settle. Ultimately I returned these and purchased the Logitech Z623 speakers which meet my needs just fine.

The ProMedia 2.1s really are great sounding once you spend some time adjusting the media player graphic equalizer (see attached photo of my settings). Straight out of the box, the sound seemed noticeably flat and quite ordinary until I found the right equalizer settings for my aged ears. I suspect those reviewers that found the sound quality poor either didn't or couldn't adjust their player for optimal sound quality or should be spending more cash to suit their high expectations. Sure, you can find better sound for two or three times the price but for a computer or mp3 player? Set up was easy but, just as with any other amp and speaker setup, pay attention that the red striped wires go into the red retainers and the black into black - it's a polarity thing. I can't speak for the system durability as I have only played about 50 songs through it. The only negative is that there is no power switch necessitating the use of a power strip to turn off the AC power to the subwoofer. That aside, I am pleased with my purchase.

The Klipsch Pro Media speakers are solid sounding speakers. The bass from the sub actually vibrates the floor and they deliver clear crisp sound even at higher volume levels and they get pretty loud for such small speakers. They're great for watching movies on a computer or tablet and they really rock when listening to music from my phone or streaming from iTunes! Would definitely recommend!

I had these little dinky speakers on my computer but decided to upgrade so I could listen to more music. What a difference these Klipsch speakers and woofer have made. The bass is phenomenal, and I can pump up the volume to listen while relaxing on my back porch. I'm very happy with the new sound, and the price was great, too.

Yes, I'm an audiophile. I also play guitar and am very demanding about my sound. I reviewed practically every system under $500 and came home with the Klipsch. I must admit I was hesitant with the only $150 price tag, but in my opinion, this had the best sound. Even the $300-500 Bose were passed on. Better than the Bose with no sub for $300 and I would say about equal with the $500 Bose with a subwoofer. Sorry Bose, without a subwoofer, there is practically no bass guitar OR kick drum.
