    I purchased this soundbar and return it the next day the sound quality is very poor. It doesn't have HMI only digital. For the price and the brand I was expecting something better.

    If I could give this product a zero, I would. I purchase the Klipsch R-10B sound bar system from Best Buy before I went on vacation and set the system up after I returned home. It was defective out of the box, but because it was pass the 14 day return policy of Best Buy I could not return it to Best Buy. I had to work with Klipsch warranty people on exchange for a replacement speaker. Three weeks later the replacement speaker arrives and that one is defective also! Junk is my best review of this product and bad service from Best Buy.

    The sound of this sound bar blows away anything Samsung or Sony makes. Easy hook up and blue tooth is great for music from other devices. Only drawback is that the bar is large and I had to use a couple two by fours to raise my TV so my infrared remote would work.

    I looked into buying 3 different sound bars( Bose, Samsung, and Klipsch by far the sound of the Klipsch was far better than even the Bose. Very easy set up and Bluetooth was very easy to set up I own a 60" ulta 4d Samsung model 8550 sound fantastic have not tried the 3d mode yet but I will. Yes I have one con about product I have to use the remote that came with the unit instead of using one remote I am still looking into a way to synch to one remote

    I am upgrading from a Samsung HW-H550 to this Sound bar. My previous sound bar was missing the bass I wanted. The second I plugged it in, I was completely satisfied with the sound. This is for my bedroom so I can't speak for a living room set up but overall very happy with my purchase. Also the Bluetooth was a plus and it's hard to find great sound bar like this with Bluetooth for the price. The big Sony was pushing the 900+, the Bose didn't have Bluetooth, and sonos even though it sounds nice is expensive and I hate bying things à la carte. Great price for the sound you get.

    Blocks the remote sensor on many tv sets if set in front of the tv. Set up instructions were incomplete and complicated. Remote didn't work. Very disappointing for a Klipsch.

    Great Sound

    Have been looking for a sound bar for quite some time and found this one to fit the bill. Price might be up there but you get what you pay for and that definitely rings true with this setup. I failed to pull the trigger on a lot of units similar as I hate to have to use two remotes to control the TV and the volume so I was happy to see it learns your remote which is a great feature. Some may complain as it doesn't have and HDMI port but I just use the optical out of the TV and the sound is crisp and clear. To another reviewer on here about the source mode I agree there is no clear way to tell which one you are on but there are only 3 sources, optical, RCA, and bluetooth with the bluetooth lighting up blue and the others green it's pretty basic and I don't need some gaudy display telling me which one I am on. Last but not least having a volume on the sub is a really nice feature.

    I have had a 5.1 Home Theatre system in the past and i was a little skeptical to move to a Sound Bar setup. But all my skepticism was laid to rest after i bought this Sound bar. The output is amazing and the effect it gives is more than sufficient for a standard sized room. Though it does not completely match up to the level of what a 5.1 surround system will give of a similar price range but the convenience of setting this up and the option to move it around compensates for the slight difference in the sound. Even in the Bluetooth mode, there isn't any disturbance in sound. Pros - Very Good Sound (Bass + Clarity), Easy Setup, Easy to move around. Cons - Not a lot of input options, a HDMI port would have been a valued addition. Don't have any issue at this moment as i am currently relying on Bluetooth for all my input.

    Happy with sound, features and ease of use.

    I'm very happy with the Klipsch R10b. I was uncertain about the purchase but fears were unfounded. It sounds great in all applications - regular tv shows, streamed movies, blueray movies and even listening to music on Direct TV music channels. Of course it is a huge improvement from the Visio TV speakers (better be for the price!) but it really puts out an impressive deep rich full sound. The first trial was tuning into the movie Ender's Game right after set up, and it shook the room with the sound effects. I knew right then it was a keeper. The important thing for me on this purchase, aside from good sound quality was that it had to operate with our existing Direct Tv remote. Although it didn't work with the newer style genie remote, I went to Best Buy and bought the older style (RC64 or RC66) and it works fine (sound up, down and mute). So this sound bar saved me from having to wire up speakers for 5.1 (the other option I was considering), buy a AV receiver, hassle with multiple remotes. Just plug in the optical cable, set the (massive) sub woofer speaker in a corner an plug in, and you're done. Comes on automatically with the tv on, turns off automatically a few minutes after tv off, and sounds amazing. My daughter is also able to stream music from her iPhone via Blutooth. Overall very happy with sound, features and ease of use with DirectTV.

    I first listened to this soundbar on display in a store. This soundbar sounded beyond better than every other soundbar on display. I finally picked one up and I'm so happy I did. It was very easy to setup and the sound is unbelievably better now for my flat screen tv. Great bass too. The 3D effect sounds great as well.

    Surprising at how much sound and how full and rich it is compared to other soundbars. The bass is full but not overpowering. I wanted to go cheaper but my wife insisted we get the best sounding bar at the store. This is the one.

    This soundbar sounds fantastic. The highs are very high, and the bass can shake the floor. When watching a movie, the voices stand out and are not "lost" in the background as can happen sometimes. Mounted on my wall directly under the TV, and it looks great, too.

    Worth the money

    I skipped from an old fashioned rear-projection TV to a Sony Bravia 55" ultra HD and wanted a sound bar to match the quality of the new TV. I did extensive homework through product reviews at the Best Buy, Amazon, and Klipsch websites. This particular sound bar had the highest rating for any sound bar within this price range. Among the reviews, the only minor complaint made was that this sound bar, though packing lots of sound, lacked in the mid-range area. I bought it, set it up, and thought the sound was really good, but agreed that mid-range was anemic. A month after I set it up, I found out that the Bravia TV itself offers an equalizer and various options to enhance the sound of the TV speakers themselves. Once I made the adjustments to the TV speaker sound in the 'settings' mode, mid-range sounds great, along with bass and treble. I think Klipsch factored in the use of the TV speakers to be used in conjunction with the sound bar and sub-woofer, so there would not be any redundancy between the TV and sound bar. Final summary--worth the money, but find your TV treble/bass or equalizer controls and set accordingly before determining that your TV/Klipsch sound bar combo system lacks mid-range. It is a great sound and I think it will easily satisfy and even delight most purchasers. It certainly did me!

    Outstanding soundbar!

    I had heard Klipsch speakers before, as my brother had bought some for his computer, and they are amazing speakers. I bought this soundbar after having problems with my Bose Solo. Let me tell you, this Klipsch is far superior over the Bose; matter of fact, they are not even in the same category. I am amazed at the sound! The clarity of sound that comes from the soundbar (mids & tweets) is outstanding and the bass that comes from the subwoofer is so much better than I ever thought it could be. I can't believe this soundbar is so reasonably priced (I caught it on sale for 449) and I would have paid more for it, based on the quality of the speakers. Buy this soundbar & I promise you won't be disappointed. Never been happier with an electronics purchase!!!

    Bought a 70" Sharp TV with all the bells and whistles. The sound wasn't on the level of the screen. After checking reviews on other products I decided to wait for the release of the R-10B. Set up was easy even for someone who isn't a techno guru. The sound is great in a 25' x 30' room with 3.5 walls. Just don't understand the "source" button. I don't know what source I'm in, just keep pushing the button until the green light comes on.

    This is an awesome sound bar and subwoofer combo. The subwoofer is easy to hide because it is wireless. The soundbar has great crisp sound. The downsides to this are: When our streaming services go to a commercial the soundbar "reboots" and an annoying clicking sound goes off until you manually reset it again. You get this same noise occasionally when you pause anything. The remote for the soundbar is really cheap looking as well. The sound is awesome though.
