Customer Ratings & Reviews

Nice looking. Sounds great. Fits our bookshops perfectly.

Replaced old tower speakers with these gems. great range and looks great in our smaller living room than the space we had with the large towers. Put these on stands and they look and perform great. Researched speakers and these were the hands down choice. Great value for the performance.

These Klipsch bookshelf speakers are worthy of the Klipsch reputation of amazing sound! I needed living room speakers that wouldn't take up a lot of space (wife restrictions)... these delivered and then some! I highly recommend these speakers for amazing sound and great value.

Great product, using for primary left and right speakers combined with Klipsch center speaker annd 12 sub, excellent quality and sound.

Had to grab these as an xmas gift for adult daughter setting up an actual traditional sound system (i.e., nothing Bluetooth or satellite sourced). She inherited her grandpa's excellent components, but his speakers were inside the walls. We have been fans & owners of Klipsch horns since my first pair in the late 70s, so we know the quality & love the sound. The price for this pair was unbelievably low, so I jumped on it. Daughter & her spouse are beyond thrilled, & now their system is complete!

These speakers sound really good. They are a great value. They have a compact size but a much larger sound stage than they appear. They feel quality when you hold them, I like that

Love them. Considering the size of the speaker they produce amazing sound clean and rich with great highs. First time buyer of Klipsch speakers and am sold on them. BTW, order an open box set as being excellent and indeed they were, like new and would not have known the difference. Again, great buy and value for the money.

Plenty of mid and low end for a small speaker. We wall mounted these in our condo.

Klipsch in my opinion makes about the best speakers out there in this price range. These look really cool so you might want to leave the covers off. Some people think Klipsch have too much treble on the very high end. I think it's called being too bright. To me you can just turn the treble down a little if it bothers you. I don't care because it really helps understand dialog in movies to have that clean sharp sound. Music is helped by the clarity too. These are tall for bookshelf speakers so you may need to make sure they will fit if going into a cabinet.

The Klipsch R-50M bookshelf is a pretty impressive speaker considering the small footprint - while it is a little taller than other 5 1/4" bookshelf speakers (thanks to the massive horn tweeter), the depth and width of the speaker are quite a bit more compact than other bookshelves I've seen. Practically, this means that you might be able to fit them next to a TV more easily, or on a shorter shelf than other models. Lookswise - I found the grille off look to be a bit unbalanced thanks to the large tweeter design. That's personal preference, of course, but I think this is the only speaker in the lineup that I prefer the grilles on vs off. I found the sound of the R-50M speakers to carry over many of the qualities I loved about the R-800F towers, while being a little less impressive overall. Efficiency isn't as good as the towers, although that's to be expected, of course. Compared to 2 other sets of bookshelf speakers in my house, I found the tweeter design contributes favorably to a simliar "wall of sound" up front just like the R-800F, but the other bookshelf speakers I compared to were a little better in the mid-range and low end. I tried various distances from the wall, given they are rear ported, but I could not get any improvement to the sound using that method. That's not to say these sound bad - far from it. I just was a little overwhelmed after auditioning their big brothers, and was expecting to be delighted with the same clarity at low volume. Instead, I found I had to get a bit louder to get the same dynamics out of the R-50M. In practice, as rear speakers in my surround setup, the sound characteristics of the R-50M are well suited to the other speakers in the Reference series and they handle movies, SACD, and DVD-A surround audio formats with aplomb. I have not had a chance to wall mount them yet, instead using stands for the time being, but my plan is to use the integrated wall mount threaded hole to seamlessly get these on my wall soon. That's a great perk that's an improvement over the keyhole mount you often see on speakers like this.

Coming from a mid tier Samsung soundbar these speakers paired with av receiver blow what we had out of the water.

10/10 my husband loves the quality, if you’re looking for a sign to buy this is it !!

Bought these for my husband. I like the clean crisp sound but he does not. He is a bass guy and says not enough bass for him. They are for his garage and he was using old Advent speakers that broke.

Excellent speakers. Have the whole Klipsch setup and use these for my rear surround. Bass is good and so is the treble. Could see using these in stereo in a smaller room and pairing with a sub for some extra bass

These speakers were purchased for rear surrounds. The quality is excellent. I would highly recommend them for anyone who wants crystal clear audio.

Wonderful front speaker additions to my surround setup in my media room. I already had a Klipsch sub and these pair nicely with the rest of my other speakers. Sound is clear and bright and loud.

I am NOT an audiophile, just to get that out of the way. I think audio is mostly subjective and depends on the music or media that you consume. I really like the sound of these speakers. I’m using them with my Sony Bravia tv and it is so much easier to understand dialogue. The sound carries extremely well. Turning up my tv speakers louder didn’t make it any easier to understand dialogue at greater viewing distances. My living room and kitchen are open concept and I can understand dialogue just as well whether I’m across the room cooking at the stove or right in front of them sitting at the tv. I don’t have to turn them up higher, it’s almost uncanny how well the sound carries. These fit our situation perfectly.

I bought these in sale; my review is based on the $200 sale price. Build quality: Ok. Nothing to brag about; rectangle box, vinyl finish, plastic grille. Honestly I find they look ugly (though they don’t look bad in the pics) Sound: Very good. This is an exciting/energetic speaker with good treble/dynamics, nice midrange and punchy bass. This is a bright speaker but not fatiguing. I’d compare the sound to the Jbl 530. At $200 these are a great value. At $400 they’re still good but have competition. I’ve also had the RP50 mk ii; as one would expect, they are better in every regard. Still energetic but with more smoothness. If you’re debating between the two, have the extra money and prioritize music, RP50M mkii are better. If for home theater, r50pm mk ii will suffice

Clean sound. Very nice replacements for my ancient late 70's model dinosaurs. Bass is very nice, but I recommend a nice subwoofer, to get a super nice experience. Got'em on sale priced: $239, open-box $190. Open box got sold out before I could get to them, but if other websites sell'em for less I say get'em. A good value, considering my ancient ones I got over $300 back in the 70's. So yeah, I think I upgraded without breaking the bank.

These speakers are amazing! I have my pc connected to a Denon AVR. I'm using these speakers as my fronts, and also a Polk Subwoofer. These speakers blew me away. Crystal clear highs and great lows. For the price - you can't beat them. Using them for both gaming and music. Both are now more enjoyable than ever.
