    We returned a Sony soundbar with subwoofer due to its being too small a system for our family room. We purchased this Klipsch soundbar with subwoofer and are extremely pleased. The bluetooth subwoofer works great and the sound quality is excellent. We connected the soundbar/subwoofer through bluebooth to our Amazon dot and play music through Amazon Prime almost daily. The Klipsch is also connected to our 8 year old 52" Sony HDTV and is used rather than the built-in speakers in the television. Our family room is 21' X 17' and the Klipsch soundbar provides plenty of volume.

    Was worried about only having a sound bar as I am used to having full surround sound system. I was pleasantly surprised by the sound quality. Super easy to set-up. Have had no issues with the Bluetooth when connected to my phone. I can walk to different rooms without losing connection or having interference. One small complaint - every time you turn it on you have to select surround sound option to engage setting.

    Love how the sound bar hits on all the high and low sounds. Very clear. I’m able to hear so much more and with the sub, I’m able to feel it too!!

    I brought this speaker during offer and had received 20 percent off. Delivery took longer than expected because of UPS they gave wrong update. THis speaker is best for 55 incher or plus size tv as its lenght matches tv size of 55 these are great speaker. you can connect using analog 3.5mm jack to any analog output devices including phone laptop Can use digital output for tvs Bluetooth connectivity succesfully connected my phone and blue ray player to connect bluetooth device you have to press bluetooth icon on remote for 3 seconds it supports hdmi output from tv as well it has passtrhough hdmi Controls are pretty easy and assembling was easy you can do without manual as well Sound is monster awesome it makes my floor vibrate all the way to the kitchen if it is at full bass if you dont like bass you can opt for night mode where you have minimal bass Sound is crispy and clear at all the volumes level Missing sounds can be heard and Awesome movie expereince at home this is my first Klipsh speaker and i have realized these are far better than Boss speakers

    The sound quality is great, the subwoofer offers very powerful bass as well. My only issue is that I have to unplug it and plug it back in every time I turn my tv on. It will show its connected, but no sound would play. I was told it may be my hdmi cable, but I bought a new tv, hdmi cable, and this soundbar at the same time. Mildly frustrating but other than that great product.

    I needed a soundbar for a 20x20 room for a Samsung 55KS8000 TV. My main requirements were 3.1 channels and HDMI ARC. HDMI ARC was mandatory since this is a living room TV that my wife and kids use (any extra complexity required to control the volume would not be tolerated). I initially purchased a Polk Magnifi Max at a local Best Buy. I had the Polk for about a week, which worked fairly well, but had two issues. The biggest issue was that high frequencies were almost non-existent. Midrange and bass severely overpowered the highs. The other issue was that the sound would often drop out when changing channels, taking 2 or 3 seconds to come back on. I tried messing with every bitstream/audio setting on the TV, and couldn't fix the issue. This was not a huge problem, but just noticeable enough to be annoying. I returned the Polk back to Best Buy (the return process was super easy, BTW) and listened to a bunch of other soundbars (much more carefully this time). I heard the same weak highs on the Polk display model that I was hearing at home, and was irritated at myself for not noticing this the first time. I really wanted to like the JBL Bar 3.1, but it had the opposite problem that the Polk had. The JBL had great highs, especially compared to the Polk, but absolutely no midrange. That led me to the Klipsch RSB-11. I had previously not considered the Klipsch because it was only 2.1 channels. However, it sounded so much better in the store than the Polk or JBL that I was willing compromise on my 3.1 channel requirement. A less expensive Klipsch model (RSB-8) also sounded much better. I went ahead and bought the RSB-11, which was basically the same cost (actually slightly cheaper) as the Polk that I had just returned. I am extremely glad I went to the trouble of returning the Polk and getting the Klipsch. I don't miss the 3rd channel one bit, as the Klipsch just sounds much better. Highs are far better, making dialogue much easier to hear. Bass and mids are great as well. Also, the Klipsch unit does not have the issue with the audio dropping out during channel changes like I saw with the Polk. The HDMI ARC work seamlessly, making the soundbar a perfectly integrated extension of the TV. I've heard that ARC can be flakey between different manufacturers, but it worked perfectly in my case with the Klipsch and Samsung TV. The Klipsch is better than the Polk, for my needs, in almost every way. I will say that the overall aesthetics of the Polk (and JBL) are probably better. They are slimmer and less noticeable. The Klipsch is bigger and has a generally less sleek design. I'm assuming the larger size contributes to the improved sound. Also, the Bluetooth reception isn't great on the Klipsch as you have to be within about 15 feet of the soundbar to maintain a reliable connection. For me, these things are both of negligible importance compared to the sound quality and integration with the TV. I have had the Klipsch soundbar for about two months, and am still very pleased with the purchase.

    I usually read the reviews on the products I purchase, but since this one is fairly new no reviews were really available. I knew Klipsch has a well established name in sound and reviewed some of this soundbars predecessors. I had listened to several soundbars in stores and did not like too many of them. At this point I should probably state that I "downgraded" from my Onkyo 5.1 surround system to a soundbar due to the setup in our new apartment. So I am probably more picky than the average user. But this has proven to be a great choice for a soundbar. It will not match a surround sound system, but the sound is clear and good. I have noticed depending on where you sit the sound is sometimes better, but I can recommend it any way.

    Awesome soundbar and sub. Highs are good and the mid range is awesome! Sub is pretty good too! Picked up the JBL Bar 3.1 at first and the sub alone really made me want to keep it but the mid range was not there. Had to swap it out for the RSB-11. So glad I did, definitely an upgrade over the Bar 3.1. The sub isn't as powerful but enough to make any game or movie sound good!! Highly recommend if you want a soundbar that sounds almost like a dedicated surround speaker setup. Can't go wrong with the Klipsch brand. Coming from an old school set of Boston Acoustics I'd say this is just as good. Only wish there was an app to control Bass/Treble/midrange frequencies. I'd like a little more treble but it sounds good enough to keep. Good job Klipsch!!!!

    This sound bar sounds great, I bought others and returned them because I was looking for something that would also make music sound good and I found it with this soundbar. If you set it up with the ARC HDMI input you won't have to worry about using the Klipsch remote which is also a plus.

    Easy set up with Sony XBR series TV. Straight forward setup. Nice rich sounds from a clean looking sound bar. Only issue is when the sound bar system updates caused the one remote start to sync improperly (e.g. press on or off on the remote and one or the other of the TV or sound bar would function accordingly). This was an early problem and it may have been addressed with a recent update to the TV or sound bar. Good reminder to keep on top of updates. Now all is working well.

    Got the klipsch system for our master bedroom. It really rocks the room especially on the big effects movies. Sounds almost as good as the big surround sound Klipsch system we have in the great room.

    I turned in a Sony sound bar because it broke so I had to get something else. I saw this one and wasn’t very sure because I didn’t know the brand. It sounds great with the TV and music. I’m glad my Sony bar broke because I didn’t like that one too much.

    I’m happy to say I own two of these sound bars w/ woofer. I decided to go with Klipsch for name and reviews. Sounded great in store but WAY BETTER in my house. Perfect set up for me in my family room and excellent in my media room. Enough noise to put me in the movie so trust me when I say "getch ya one" because it won’t disappoint. Just remember to get the additional brackets that mount it to the t.v. Vs sitting on a piece of furniture or drilling unnecessary holes in walls. Just my opinion but YOU decide.

    Had a LG sound bar for tv and got this on Black Friday. The remote and control lag a bit so you need to give it a couple seconds for it to power up or you’ll just turn it off. It sounds great and the wireless sub fits right where I want it

    The sound quality is very good and the size is perfect. However, it very much needs a second optical input. Also, the user manual is useless. It is not in any way an instruction manual.

    Perfect for a medium size room. I put this in my loft. OMG! The sound is amazing when the source is plugged directly to the soundbar via HDMI. It is louder and provides a more full surround sound. Even using the optic digital source the sound is as powerful. Both sources provide great clear and a clarity sound. The HDMI is better. It is also bluetooth. I have connected my phone to listen to music as well. The sound is superb.

    The Klipsch sound bar I bought was way better than I ever imagined. The sound is crisp and bold when playing action movies. I’ve had other sound bars, but this one is the best I’ve owned in quite some time.
