Customer Ratings & Reviews

First off, I’d like to say that by no means am I an audiophile!! But my familiarity with audio products comes from the years I worked in the Home Theater department at Best Buy—9 years overall, and 3 of those years were in the Magnolia Home Theater section of Best Buy. Over the years I had the opportunity to test multiple speakers/receivers/sound bars and give a bunch of demos to customers. While working in a store with just core audio products (Non-Magnolia store) I was always drawn to this soundbar. At the time, however, I had a Speakercraft soundbar that I was pleased with so I didn’t bother buying the Klipsch. Few years later the Speakercraft soundbar blew out so I bouhht the Klipsch after remembering how much I liked it when I worked at Best Buy. It sounds FULL!! No tinniness. Some of the other brands I tested either sounded tinny or had a muddy sound. The bass may not be AS loud as what some bass addicts would like it to be and you can definitely find other sound bars with more bass BUTTT let’s not get it twisted—this sound bar provides MORE than enough bass to make action movies sound...like they are action movies lol. On top of that, I don’t have the bass set to the max, I have it turned up about 60% (more on that below) which is adequate for me! I personally don’t go for heavy bass because it can take away from listening to the little details but even with it set at 60% bass, you can still feel it enough to envelop you in the movie/music, etc. I prefer a balance between bass and mids/highs and I feel like this soundbar delivers that. The soundbar has about 12 levels and mine is at the 7th level (~60%). Please note— there is no actual indicator for what level the sound nor sub is on. For the sub, I tested it while listening to a song on bluetooth. I turned it all the way down (I noticed that the source icon blinks when pressing the sub up or down button, same with volume) then turned it up one button press at a time. After 12 button presses the Bluetooth icon stopped blinking so I knew it was at its max. It’s the same with volume, the source blinks until it has reached it’s min or max. Would’ve been great if it were to tell you the actual decibel level though! The clarity of dialogue is amazing. It definitely separates from the ambient sounds, which is ideally one of the main purposes of a soundbar. Setup was simple. I connected the hdmi cable to hdmi ARC input of my tv. Connected my ps4 and Nintendo switch via hdmi into it. I did not have to reset the subwoofer, just paired it as per instructions. The Bluetooth thoughhhhh.. *sigh*.. somewhat lacking. For me, I can only get about 9 ft away before it starts cutting in and out. :/ I am contemplating connecting a small Bluetooth receiver to the 3.5 jack of the soundbar which will probably give me a longer range. I have not done this yet because the soundbar remote can control the music on my phone (rewind, skip, pause, etc) and the remote DEFINITELY has a longer range so it is doable for now. All in all, a great soundbar!! I am extremely pleased with my purchase and still get excited to watch a movie or listen to music. Are there better sounding sound bars out there? Of course! BUT, I don’t think you will find it at this price. Hope this helps! :)

After reading many options I bought this soundbar based on price and the klipsch reputation. It sounds great . Wall installation was difficult as it does not come with bolts and you have to guess what size to use Overall great sound but could stand to have a louder subwoofer response. Good sound for the money compared to Bose or Sonos

I went to Best Buy with the thought of buying a Sony sound system for my TV. I had read about the Sony system online, and it looked pretty good in the price range I had to spend. But, after talking to A salesman at the store, he recommended this system instead. He did though, show me the Sony first, and then this klipsh. He was right, this sounded a 100 times better, and had the bass sound I wanted.

We ended up returning this system and purchasing a different one This was a great system and the sound was very good! But we wanted rear speakers, that is the only reason we returned this system.

bar and subwoofer sound great. Easy to setup and use. It's nice that you can wire to tv and have Bluetooth for iPod.

I have a high end component system for my theater room, and sound bars can't compete but for the money and space restrictions for the living room this was a good fit. I was able to listen to several different ones at the store and the Klipsch had the best sound at a higher volume where other brands get distorted, good medium price range unit.

Saw this sound bar on display at Best Buy with various other models, brands and prices, the Klipsch RSB-11 had the superior sound and dialogue projection making it an excellent choice for movies and tv watching. After purchasing, the RSB-11 was easily set up by following the included instructions. Our Klipsch remote automatically synced with our Samsung tv making it very easy to use. Overall this has been an excellent purchase.

Was looking for a Sound bar to go with my recent 4k tv purchase. I live in an apartment complex, so I could go full bore on a home theater system. Settled on this product after listening to a few others. First off, the box and packing are extremely clunky and awkward to remove. If you're an audiophile, you should have no problem hooking the system up. If you're not, be ready to have to get on the internet because the instruction manual is one step away from useless. This system sounds good, but definitely does not have the other bells and whistles that other similarly priced systems have. Would have liked to have a volume display because the remote is very finicky...have to push and push just to change settings. I would recommend this for the sound, but not for the features.

Has very good sound for music or movies. Bluetooth range is adequate but don’t expect to be more than 15-20 feet away from soundbar before it starts cutting out. Sub is not overpowering but has good clean sound and very impressive for the size. I originally purchased the Denon Heos soundbar and took it back due to app control and poor sound on movies and tv shows. Overall very happy with the purchase.

After downgrading from Amp/Pre-Amp, then 5.1.1 Dolby Surround due to moves and aesthetics 2.1 sound bars don't compete with 5.1 but after trying six systems over the past ten years the RSB-11 is by far the best sounding system I've heard. It offers clear deep non-directional bass, crisp clear highs and mids that make me feel like people are talking in the room with this system. The difference between the optical and HDMI set-up is huge!! If you set it up properly with all new 4k compatible components a little Dolby signal lights up on the face of the sound bar and it makes a truly dramatic difference. I have had issues with hums, crackling and dead spots but I have recognized and corrected the cause for all of the issues. With such high quality sound you need to use an air duster and control static when making connections. I also had a digital feed buzz when one of the HDMI cables was zip tied to six-pin ethernet cord and once I separated them it was fine. I also get pauses when streaming 4k with Dolby in the signal, I don't think it possible to stream that much data wirelessly without having issues as the dead spots hit maybe once every 30 minutes for a fraction of a second, even when I am running a wired ethernet at 60mbps. I just saw two wireless rear satellites for LG sound bars and ask Klipsch to offer backwards compatible wireless rears for the RSB-11 with a firmware upgrade that includes the full Dolby 5.1, the bar has enough speakers and is long enough to do l/center/r, we have the sub just add the wireless rears as an add on option please!

For the money there is No sound bar home theater system that sounds like the Klipsch! Nice thunderous bass from subwoofer, you can turn it up, down and off when you don't want so much bass, also has night mode for after hours! Amazing surround sound From the bar too! Great features! And I've heard my share of sound bar theater systems! Even CONQUERED the Bose system when comparing! A definite must!

I purchased a bose soundbar, it sure didn't sound the same at home that it did in the store. They said it was without the sub woofer which was another 700.00 and additional speakers were $$$$$$$. I took the bose back at bought the Klipsh with a sub woofer for the same price as the bose sound bar and it sounds great. You won't be disappointed. I couldn't be happier than I am with this Klipsh.

I purchased this system to go with my new Samsung TV and it’s certainly does a great job of delivering excelllent sound.

Used for tailgating and it worked perfectly. The unit was clear and loud. Thanks

Bought this sound bar after listening to it at a local best buy. The sound bar itself makes some incredible sound especially for music. The room comes alive with very clear tones and smooth base. On the negative side, the TV interaction specifically normal dialog can't be heard unless you turn the volume a lot louder.

Sounds great in the right sized room. Replaced a receiver and speakers and we are very pleased with the result!

This is a very fine speaker system. When I purchased a new UHD TV, I initially bought the manufacturer's top of the line sound bar to go with it, but was not pleased with the sound quality. I returned it and bought the less expensive Klipsch system. They are a speaker specialty company and the sound quality is much better than the TV manufacturer's. Highly recommended.

First off Klipsch makes excellent stereo equipment have had many. Looks are great and sound is crisp and clear. System gets louder than needed for normal in home theatre so plenty of power. Easy setup. Would get 5 stars but price is a little high however if you watch a lot of tv or movies it's worth the investment.

Klipsch has made the best sound bar with a wall vibrating woofer. You can feel the sound. Its worth every penny! I love bose also, but this klipsch system makes my bose sound bar and woofer sound weak. It also is louder then my bose with lower bass and cleaner with vocal dialog when switching to the dialog button. Klipsch is truly the keepers of sound!

We bought this sound bar, it sounded awesome at the store it was hard to tell much difference from the Bose except it was a little cleaner and crisp. Unfortunately the subwoofer died about two months after the warranty ran out and we were told that it would have to be sent off for repair and that we would have to pay ship both ways and 150.00 to repair. Not very happy with it will buy another brand in the future, this may be a fluke ,but customer service was not there, I would have thought that a company that old and with their reputation would have at least met me halfway. Will buy Bose or Yamaha next time
