Customer Ratings & Reviews

After looking at this product during my working hours in Best Buy, testing it for customers and looking all the 150 plus positive reviews posted on line, I decided to give them a try. I listen to all kinds of music and I can not say anything wrong about this set of speakers. If you test these speakers in the store be aware that they do not sound the same when you bring them into your home. In your home they will sound amazing! Your home will be more isolated from other noise and the room will quite smaller. I have these speakers in my office and they BOOOOOOOM and sound incredibly great! I have not tested the sound volume half way yet and they are so clear and loud that I'm afraid that someone in my neighborhood may call me to turn down the volume.

I bought these after returning the Insignia 2.1 computer speakers. These sound GREAT!!! The sub thumps when you need it to, and the satellites sound great as well!! I Would RECOMMEND this product to anyone who listens to a lot of music on their computer like I do.

I did a lot of research before buying new speakers for my PC. I was replacing a 5 year old set of Creative speakers that sounded weak. I would have to turn them all of the way up just to hear the music. These were top rated on several websites, and now I see, well hear, why. They sound better than my panosonic home theatre system. I chose these because of their ratings on the internet and the price. For the quality of sound I am hearing, they were well worth the money. Excellent clarity, good range of sound, nice bass and tremble. They have an aux port on the side as well as a headphone jack. They sound amazing!

Great system for your computer with very good sound on all speakers. Worth the value investment. The location part of the power switch for the system on the back of the heavy amp is hard to get to the back to turn system on and off and tend to forget to turn off the amp. Switch should be on front of Amp/speaker.

This is the answer. I have this connected to a Apple Airport Express ($100) and I can send any audio from my iPad to it wirelessly, also using a ($25) piece of software 'Airfoil' I can send any audio from my pc to the speakers and control the volume from the iPad or PC. Really sweet sound at low levels and high, better than the Bose (way better at less than half the price, but if you interested in Bose your probably not reading this). Anyway had them about 6 weeks now and just flawless performance.

After researching and settling on these speakers, i was confident that i was making a wise choice. Well let me start by saying i purchased an open box item. When it arrived, early i might say. Upon inspection, i found the item to be damaged. I called my nearest store and ask if they would exchange them. I went and returned them to the store of which i didn't order them from , but never the less they quickly exchanged them for a new set and honored the purchase price. Great customer service i say! Well as to the item, i think they are fantastic.The sound is clear, and crisp. Not to mention that they made a cheap pair of headphones sound really good. So if your in the market for a set up for your home office don't look over these speakers. You might be surprised as i was.

Now I'm gonna start off by saying that I've never posted a review on best buys products. But this speaker is truly amazing and shows you the real sound with the BEST bass and treble. I wanted to post this review to show how good this speaker is and would definitely recommend to anyone.

I can vouch for the sound quality of this speaker set. I got mine less then a week ago. Tried it on my laptop, iPhone, and TV and it sounds incredible!. I really like the generous cable length, which is quite long, so you can put it up on shelves or wall mount them. I also appreciate that the speakers are not hardwired to the subwoofer (like some other models) and so it is easy to move the speakers around or lead the cables through small holes. Just like some other users though, I am missing an on/off switch for some reason. All in all, great sound quality. We shall see how long they will last...

This 2.1 speaker system works well. It was easy to set up, works well with my TV, sound quality is excellent. I got an additional discount as it went on sale after the holidays, so the price was better than anywhere else on the net. I cannot change the volume using a remote, but these weren't designed for use with a TV.

I've had these speakers for a couple years now, and have had absolutely no problems. The sound quality is incredible and they provide more than enough thump for the price. Worth every penny.

I've had these speakers for about 6 months now and I love them! They produce a very clear and sharp sound. I've never turned it up more than half way and I love my music loud. The 2 speakers don't look like that though. They have a black cloth over the face like most speakers have. It looks good.

I have been looking for an inexpensive, compact, and good sounding system for a long time. I don't have the space for a large, floor-standing system. Since most of my music listening happens while I work at my laptop, I wanted to get (ideally) computer speaker that sounded good and were small enough to fit on my desk comfortably. Plus I did not want to pay major $$$$$. This sounded like an impossible task. Well, I found these Klipsch speakers on this website and was intrigued by the people's comments on the great sound. I went to the store and checked them out. Interestingly, they were positioned next to Bose speakers and I compared the two. Bose does a great job marketing their speakers (such as selecting the soundtrack that highlights the strengths and masks the weaknesses) while the Klipsch speakers were simply hooked up to a random audio source. Plus Bose were at least twice the price of Klipsch. Long story short, I bought the Klipsch 2.1 speakers, brought them home, set them up and ... was literally blown away! I keep rediscovering music with these speakers. Amazingly clear sound, massive bass that you can adjust , an attractive and compact appearance (the subwoofer sits under my desk on the side so it's not in my way at all). We need to watch some movies with these speakers but I expect the result to be great. I watched a short part of Mission Impossible and the introduction is spectacular - you can hear every little detail and the soundtrack chills your blood! I highly recommend these speakers - they are a bargain and they give an awesome sound. The only wish that I have is for these speakers to have a better line-in connector. I understand these are not positioned as high-end speakers but still... a better line-in would be nice.

Great low volume system. Crisp highs, loud mids, and rich deep bass when volumes are low. However, crank it up and subwoofer is easily overpowered. Satellites sound great under 50% volume. Crank up the volume and you will immediately be headed back to the store to return these junk speakers. If you listen primarily to rock music, you wont be disappointed. good rock style bass, perfect mids/highs (really, awesome). But if you like rap music, techno, dub step, etc. or music that requires lots of deep bass, this system is not for you. If you listen at low volumes, then you will LOVE these speakers. They have clear, crisp highs, loud mids, and rich lows (at low volume). Far superior to any other speaker system. But... Try to blast the volume and forget it - bass is distorted, lots of rattle and the mid/highs become raspy. THD spec is 5% - noticeable right away... If you like LOUD, house filing sound, like I do, then you should be looking elsewhere for speakers. These speakers DO NOT fit the bill.

I use these in my bedroom which is about 20x20 and i hardly ever go past 1/4 of the total sound available, i was a little skeptical about these speakers at first manly just because of some of the reviews talking about it not working out of the box, but i haven't had any problem what so ever, except for a sound disturbance for my upstair neighbors, they said their glassware was shaking, I just wanted to see how loud it got haha.

My monitor's speakers are in the back on the bottom and the sound was tinny. I went to Best Buy and listened to the speaker demos and this clearly had the best sound quality.

Stereo sound is incredible, and the bass module is phenomenal! If listening to dialogue, the two speakers work together to form a "virtual" center channel. Best purchase I've made in a while, highly recommend.

Don't pay attention to any of the negative reviews here. I have had my Klipsch Promedia speakers for 5 years now and have had NO problems. And I am not the only one. I had recommended these speakers to 3 others I know and none of us has had any issues. After 5 years, the sound quality is as great as day 1. I hook these speakers mainly up to my computer, but every once in a while I will hook my cell phone or mp3 player to them. The sound is tops in this category, even better than Bose and Logitech comes no where close. And as far as sufficient power, just ask my neighbors.

I purchased the same exact system 10 years ago. It was the best back then, It is the best now. You can read all of the reviews on the sound quality for yourself, I just wanted to make you all aware of TWO MAJOR DISADVANTAGES of TODAYS UNITS, even though the packaging is the same. 1. THERE IS NO ON/OFF Switch. 10 years ago on the same system, KLIPSCH PROMEDIA 2.1 THX there was an on off switch on the back of the system at the lower part of the sub, these days, there is none. Also, turning the volume all the way down does not turn off the system. I would rather pay 10 dollars, 20 dollars, or more, whatever it costs to have the stupid on off switch so I don't have to reach behind things to unplug this bad boy. 2. Much more of a minor detail, but still an issue. 10 years ago the same system had a fuse in the back. It was a clever little "safety device" more for ensuring the durability of the device than personal safety. When the system was overloaded, it would simply popped out. Allz ya had to do was push it back in and twist, and you were working again. That came in handy on my last unit, when throwing party for over 50 people, the circuit board to a more than 1000 watt amp became over worked, and literally liquefied. I put these bad boys in relief of that amp and those speakers in a clutch. Of course I had not bothered to check the levels of the ipod, nor the system itself and everything had been turned up. Upon plugging it in, unit turned off. Immediately I realized what had happened, and I put the fuse back in. It probably saved the device, the first time. Why did I have to buy it now, 10 years latter, well it was college back then, and nothing survived.

- Do the speakers compare favorably to my expensive 7.2 speaker AV system? No. - Does the amplifier and its inputs compare favorably to my higher end AV sound processing receiver? No. - Does this system cost approximately $150 and produce excellent sound for my computer system? Absolutely. My computer listening experience is based upon a HP quad processor desktop with an Auzentech sound card and preamp sound processor/equalizer. The speakers are sitting in a multi-shelf desk system, enclosed on all sides, open in the front and rear and full of equipment. The satellite speakers are sitting behind two 22" monitors surrounded by equipment and wires and the subwoofer is sitting on the floor at the bottom/rear of the desk. I am not a "booming" bass fan and only use enough bass control to duplicate the sound quality of live music or a little more and prefer clear, room filling, quality sound with no audible distortion. I read personal and professional reviews on a myriad of small audio systems to replace the low quality sound of my 15 year old Altec Lansing 2.1 computer system and narrowed it down to several systems, including Bose Companion 3, Antec Soundscience Rokus and this Klipsch Pro Media. I purchased the Rokus, was impressed with its sound definition, clarity and it even had a toslink optical input, along with a nice remote control puck. I tested both the optical and 3.5mm headphone jack inputs and could not tell any difference in the apparent sound quality to my aging ears. After much adjusting of the preamp, I just could not get enough quality bass and the midrange may have been lacking also. I then came across a set of Bose Companion 3's on a store shelf and not on display to listen to. While flipping the smaller and lighter weight than expected box, reading the specifications, I just could not figure out how this lightweight speaker system could produce enough bass and reluctantly passed. My expectation was the vocals and treble would probably be excellent, but I was not convinced the bass would be appropriate for my minimal - moderate needs. Next came a trip to Best Buy and they had a set of Klipsch's on full display. I was really impressed by the amount and tightness of the bass while listening to a radio station in that large, open store. The treble was not quite up to what I had hoped for but I decided to take them home for a try in a different listening environment and with my audio setup. After less than an hour of setting the preamp controls versus the speaker-amplifier controls, I was extremely happy with this purchase. My 192 khz ripped Blues MP3s and pop instrumentals sounded very good, considering the price of this system. And even Internet music from Pandora and Jango had a much improved sound quality. Even in this less than perfect listening setup, the soundfield was excellent and spread between the satellite speakers, even the bass from the subwoofer sitting on the floor under the desk was between the satellites. I settles with the bass controls on the equalizer set at -2dB and the speaker amplifier base control is set at 1/4 to 1/3, depending upon the music source. As a minimum, I really think one needs to be using some sort of equalizer. Without tweaking my equalizer and balancing/tuning the sound with the speaker/amplifier controls, I did not like any speaker system as it was initially hooked up to my computer. As a minimum, WinAmp should work fine for media supported by it.

I bought a pair of these about 8 years ago and LOVED them. A few years back I started doing some digital music recording and decided I would spring for a fancy set of HD speakers and gave the Klipsch to my wife (she LOVES them). The Razer Mako 2.1 replaced the Klipsch. They sounded insainly good, but after only two years, they went bad! Yea, a $300+ set of speakers crapped out after just two years. I had an extended warrenty which BB would NOT honor since they were not made anymore (because of the problems) and Razer would do NOTHING to help except verify they were dead and that they were not made anymore and could not be repaired. I saw these Klipsch Promedia 2.1s on super buy for $95 and figured, why not. Now I love these all over again. I have a VERY high end sound card in my PC and thse speakers sound very good, not as good as the Makos (double the price) but VERY good. Games, music, movies (HD too) and my HD recordings sound amazing. I have not experienced any issues some others claim with their high end systems. A couple minutes of tweeking the settings and I was good to go. The average gamer and media consumer will be blown away, and at this price point, audiophiles and media producers will be happy too! The only "down side" is the look. Despite the sound, they are fairly plain looking and have not changed in design (except the connector) since my last pair from 8+ years ago (still in service).
