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!!

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.

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.

Klipsch Rocks!

I 've had these speakers for little over a month now and they are Great! I tested out Logitech z-2300's and was not impressed due to too much bass, lack of mid ranges, and short sat cables. Besides logitech is known for great PC mice and keyboards. NOT high quality PC speaker systems. At least not to me!
So, I found out about Klipsch(known for making speakers for over sixty years). I believe I've made a good decision to purchase their PC speakers. My games, music, DVDs (movies) roar to life using these speakers. I listen to a variety of music from R&R, R&B, Classical, and Blues. I love the rich and deep bass. Not hard or thumping bass. I set the Main Volume to 10 percent high and keep the sub volume at the notch or a little lower (My Windows volume is set at 50 percent high) and ITS still Loud! Rocks my home! Also, like having controls on main sat for bass and volume to adjust sound. BTW I was able to get speaker while they were on sale!!!!!
I want to point out that I am using a Soundblaster X-Fi Extreme Gamer Fata1lty Pro sound card and; using the SB software I am able to adjust my tremble and EQ settings etc. Having a high end sound card really brings out the full sound of these speakers! Highly recommend getting a high quality SC to go with speakers!!!
THX certified is another plus! I have one speaker on my desk and the other speaker on a bookshelf. Speaker wire is long enough to go behind my desk and wall to reach my bookshelf.
One final thought: There are many good reviews and not so good reviews about the Klipsch Promedia system. There have been some defective products but that should not reflect on the hundreds/thousands of klipsch speakers that are EXCELLENT! I recommend purchasing the extented warrenty and YOU will have peace of mind about your investment. I believe that these speakers can give you many years of listening enjoyment--providing that you take "excellent" care of them!!
PS. Others have mentioned that On/Off switch is not in a good place due to it being on the sub. I recommend using a Indoor Plug-In Switch ( Cooper Wiring Devices-- Google) that can be used to power on and off the sub/speakers. This switch is plugged right into your surge protector etc (DO not plug the switch into a wall outlet! You just might have a power surge and fry your sub/speakers). Just flip the switch--- problem solved!!! Good night !

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!!!!!!!!

I was using a different, older 2.1 system with my new Smart HDTV when one of the satellite speakers gave way. Although the subwoofer on that system & the remaining satellite still work very well, I decided to upgrade to a whole new system. I had heard that this system was comparable to a Logitech Z2300 system that I also own & LUV to death, so I decided to give this system a try, and it sounds great! I can confidently say that you will not find a system with this kind of power in a 2.1 set-up for this price. It is the last of a disappearing breed of 2.1 systems, so I would not hesitate to grab it while you still can. Your other option would be to invest in a full-fledged entertainment system, which will definitely cost more that this.
If you like your bass to hit hard whenever it hits, this is the perfect system for you. The Logitech system I mentioned above is the only other 2.1 system that carries this kind of thumping bass and overall output power, and they do not appear to make that system anymore (outside of special order perhaps, as far as I can tell). I couldn't have asked for a better system to assimilate into my new entertainment set-up.
Bass is adjustable, and it mixes well with the sound from the satellites. The only drawback is that there are cords galore for this thing (at least in comparison to other 2.1 systems that I've owned). It could be worse I suppose, but they definitely could have streamlined the cording. Also, this system does not have a remote of any kind (corded or otherwise), so unless you can control it through whatever system you hook it up to (which is possible), you will have to manually adjust the volume & bass on the system yourself.

Klipsch has never disappointed me when it comes to great sound and this set is no different. I listen to and produce hip hop and R&B and they give me all the low end I need. They are more than loud enough. I also like being able to dial in the amount of bass. They are not great speakers for mixing music on a DAW but that is not what they were designed for. They are reasonably priced and worth every penny. I doubt if there is a better set at this price point. I obviously recommend these.

YO!
I own an expensive OVER $3,000.00 BOSE SURROUND SYSTEM. Although still very hard to beat, these 3 computer speakers from KLIPSCH, are NO slouch when it comes to sound. Having the ability to control how much or less BASE as you desire is an AWESOME feature! Look. KLIPSCH made their name by making concert and BIG VENUE sound speakers. But these 3 little speakers, will work just find in almost any room you put them in. CHECK-IT! I signed up with that FLIX-NET just so I can watch all the KUNG FU and hear all the flapping of clothes when they fly across my BIG screen and the air when they break it down before contact just before they fight because of these awesome working perfectly in tandem speakers from KLIPSCH. Read the reviews and TRUST & BELIEVE - BOSE computer satellite speakers for $50 to a $150.00 more? UMMMM NO! Don't spend the money just because you can or because of a name. Again, KLIPSCH - USED TO HAVE THE BUSNESS ON LOCK DOWN! So the KLIPSCH name is way up there to...
Save some money and please not only your ears, but the rest of your family's ears to. Easy set up - plug and play. HOLLA!

Best speakers for the bucks. Was thinking about the Corsair SP2500 but it was a little out of my price range. Previewed this and I loved it. If you happen to preview/test this at the store, it's harder to ask for its potential since it's in such a big open space. Bass hits ultimately hard, best believe me, so hard that bass will start to sound like it's blowing so bass needs to be lowered. A dislike I had to say about this is that there's no Treble adjustment; A volume and bass only. Just saying, if you want to hear just bass and no treble then it's not gonna work.

Awesome Speakers, Quality Control Not So Much
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
This product is a long-time classic and has stood the test of audio-time!
I originally purchased a ProMedia 2.1 from Best Buy around 2005 and enjoyed them heavily until now when the sub-woofer died. I also had problems with the volume control knob the past few years but lived with it.
Because these speakers are so awesome I was excited to see this product is still being sold and decided to repurchase the same product, however, it seems there has been come cost-cutting in the meantime.
First, the new sub-woofer weighs A LOT less than its predecessor. Does that mean lower quality? There is no separate power switch, no external fuse access, speaker wires no longer detachable from the back of the speakers. Included with this review is a side-by-side photo of the new and old sub-woofer.
Unfortunately, after running the wires and plugging in the new set I got loud crackling on the right speaker when playing any sound. :-/ Decline in quality control too?
After taking the new set back and exchanging for another with no hassle, the second set works as expected and sounds AMAZING.
I'm disappointed the product has been obviously cheapened a bit from it's original design, however, I recall paying a lot more for the original set back in 2005 (maybe double?).
Let's hope I get another 10 years of enjoyment from this new set. Would have given 5 stars if I didn't have to exchange the defective unit.

For the price, the Klipsch Promedia 2.1 system is awesome! I upgraded from a Logitech x-540 system and wow! There was indeed a big upgrade in sound quality. I heard things in these new speakers I couldn't with the x-540. The mids and lows are great on the Promedias, the highs are pretty good too. The sub is tight and way more detailed compared to logitech sub.

This is my third Klipsch sound system for as many computers. I bought my first one years ago and absolutely love it. If you are looking for a powerful system that could satisfy any gamer's need, or just for listening to music online, this system steps up to the plate. The subwoofer is so powerful on louder bass notes, it can puff air out of its port. In my opinion, this blows away my old Bose Companion Speakers I have on my Apple computer. Make sure you have room for the sub, because it is pretty big, but so is the sound it delivers. The price is also reasonable for what it delivers. There is also a jack for headphones.

My Boston BA745's have been failing on and off for the last couple of years and I've been looking for a replacement. Easier said than done as those speakers sounded incredible for their price. I also didn't want to play ?500$ for the bose speakers. All in all I'm very happy with the Klipsch speakers, the highs are clean and not shrilly, the bass is strong and deep. The midrange is a little muted for my taste but fine for computer speakers. For the price I don't think you can go wrong with these speakers.

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!

This system produces a great sound with good bass response, for a good price. I especially like the bass control is on the desktop speaker rather than the sub-woofer, so I don't have to crawl under my computer desk to adjust it. The cables for the speakers are plenty long enough to place them wherever you like, and they fit on the desk nicely without being too bulky or so small they get lost.

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 in the speaker business and have been for 30 years. I have overseen sales and marketing while delivering literally millions of loudspeakers to consumers around the world. I only say this to let you know I am very picky about sound quality.
Since I don't produce anything for computer sound I went on the hunt for something I could at least tolerate for the system in my home office. It should be noted there is a lot of junk out there at every price point. As I demoed every unit at the local Best Buy I was shocked at how much better the Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 was compared to the competition. More bass, more overall sound pressure, just more than any computer speakers anywhere near the price point.
I did have a problem with the system. The amplifier went bad after a couple of months. However, the customer service at Klipsch was incredible. They sent me a shipping label for the unit and swapped it out with no cost to me and in a very quick turnaround.
Couldn't recommend this product enough.
