Customer Ratings & Reviews

This product is as advertised! It has incredible sound and I was particularly impressed with the range of the Bluetooth connectivity without loosing clarity! Great Range!

Hands down, this is the best portable/bluetooth speaker on the market.

It's not super portable, and batteries are not included, but overall the best sounding bluetooth speaker I've owned.

It's nice I love that it clear and doesn't give any static

It is attractive and fits well with the surroundings. Wonderful sound system.

It's the best sound is great and works as advertised

This speaker has great sound and is easy to connect

I use this speaker for professional presentations and it works well in any size room. My audience comments on the great sound when I play music or videos. One recently asked, "How do you get so much sound out of that little box."

Great sound and love the usb charging option so your phone doesn't die while using it.

This system plays so loud and clear! It is a great unit for anyone looking for a compact, powerful, unit to fill a large space. Couldn't be happier!

Great sound, clear and crisp. I use it everyday. I would recommend this product to anyone.

I love this unit. I can listen to it in my home or take it with me when I am on the move

Overall a good product. Sound is great at lower volumes however it diminishes as the volume increases.

Great sounding gear. Just right for music around the house

I've listened to many but this was the best. Problem is not recargable and uses battery's but it is awesome at my pool on AC power.

I was impressed to the the least. Klipsch never disappoints

Love the way it sounds. Sounds good plugged in and on batteries.

I love Klipsch products, so I bought this piece. I wasn't disappointed with the sound it offered. Really kicks and is great for outside by the pool.

Short range of reception and weak volume. Good if your sitting within 10-15 feet. No deep bass. Bluetooth does work well. Bad impulse purchase.

Like many of you reading this I searched long and hard for reviews, Youtube videos, anything I could find out there. It wasn't until the speaker became available in stores (I could go listen# that I decided to take the plunge. - SO glad that I did. I will be honest and tell you I'm a bit of a Klipsch fan. I have a 7.2 setup of Klipsch quintets in one room. Main living room has a 7.1 Klipsch reference II series set. But, what I also wanted was to be able to take that quality of audio with me. Camping, backyard parties, fishing...I can't wait #getting cold here on the east coast, so it might be awhile.# After auditioning some of the major brands and better bluetooth speaker options #list below# I can say for certain, the KMC 3 is the best I've heard. Speakers I've listened to: Bose sound link 2 Bose sound link mini UE Boom UE mini boom Beats pill Beats Beatbox Sony srs-btx300 JBL Flip Jawbone Big Jambox Motorola Sol Republic X Jabra Solemate I've researched many others as well, a lot, and probably too much time has gone into finding what I wanted...bit obsessive maybe? For sure. BUT, Let me pass what I've learned onto you. What makes the KMC 3 Stand out from the crowd? 1) Its size - I actually wanted something a bit smaller, however, after listening to many speakers and knowing what would make an audio enthusiast content, I had to go for something a bit larger. Klipsch did a great job with the size of this #7.2" H x 17" W x 5.5" D). you get big sound in a relatively small package. They do in fact sell a smaller version of this speaker - KMC 1, and an ultra portable model coming soon - GIG. I've not heard them due to availability in stores. 2) APT-X Codec - I won't get into details, but if you have a capable bluetooth apt-x device, you will absolutely tell the difference in audio quality between those that do, and those that do not. It's a shame Bose is stubborn, and will probably never use this technology in their speakers. All bluetooth speakers should be using apt-x at this point. 3) Design - It's sleek, mature, classy. From soft finish to solid hefty feel, it oozes quality. 4) Sound Clarity - Again going back to apt-x. Every sound is extremely crisp. others without apt-x sound dull in comparison. I've even listened to music with a non apt-x source as well - iphones. The sound is still better on this speaker than other similarly priced ones. If you have an apt-x device such as many Samsung phones / tablets. I highly suggest a 3rd party music app called Neutron. You will hear audiophile sound coming from this speaker. It's truly an experience, so much so, you will want to listen to all of your favorites again. 5) Bass - Again, very clean at MORE than reasonable sound levels. I've read others say it can get a bit muddy when at extreme levels, but lets face it...anything this compact will. Let me tell you it's not even a concern. I have this thing sitting on top of a granite table, bar height...and it shakes the floor around it, well before any hint of sloppiness. You have to have the thing nearly maxed out, and be listening to something very bass heavy in order for it to get that way. 6) IR Remote - Important if the speaker is up, out of the way when home or you just need to turn it on remotely. I've also found an IR remote app that lets me turn the speaker on with my smart phone - Awesome. I clearly love this speaker, but if I were a perfectionist, Hmm. There are a couple things I would change. 1) Create an app to allow multiple speakers play simultaneously via bluetooth. Ultimate ears (Logitech) does this with the UE Boom speakers. It would be amazing to hear two of these things come together to create a wide stereo sound. 2) Allow "Heist" mode. This allows multiple devices to connect to the speaker at the same time - great for parties as those connected to the speaker can switch to music from their own devices instantly. Without the other person having to disconnect and they having to pair their device again. Motorola's Sol Republic X has this feature. 3) Water resistance / More ruggedized / Carrying case? This is something I was really wanting. I feel like Klipsh doesn't even need to change the speaker to do this. Maybe just provide an accessory case that makes you feel more comfortable about plopping your 400 dollar speaker on the grass, or at the beach, etc. As of now it has that pristine feeling that you want to swaddle it in a micro fleece blanket and never let it leave your sight. That could just be me though. : ) 4) Indicator light on front. The design I believe they were going for is to resemble an amphitheater. The housing starts smaller in the back and widens to the front. It's nice and sleek, but the speaker needs to be below eye level in order for you to see the lights / tell if it's on or off. Kind of nit picking here. These are all minor gripes to be fair and at the end of the day what many of us want is something that sounds great. Klipsch 100% delivers on that. You will not believe the sound emanating from this thing, neither will your friends and family. I would highly suggest this speaker to anyone looking for something in the 300-400 dollar range. That is a lot of money, but I urge you to go have a listen somewhere and compare others as well. From everything I've read, heard, compared, to now owning. It's sure to impress, and I have a feeling you'll come to the same conclusion - It's the best Bluetooth speaker right now.
