This sound bar has an awesome sound that is felt like a Bose sound system. I love that it responds to my Comcast tv remote and when I turn on the cable box , the sound bar comes on. It's great even on low, sometimes I turn it up too see if it is like the movies in the theater. It's a close replica of it . The sub woofer is fabulous and it makes my television come to life.

This is the second sound bar in my house, the other is a Samsung. Comparing the two - the Klipsch has far superior sound. It handles blue tooth music from the iPad wonderfully and when used with the TV, dialog is crisp and understandable. great combination. Set up was very easy, worked right out of the gate with no troubleshooting.

I have been waiting on a good deal on this sound bar for a very long time finally got 100$ off and bought it. Best Buy manager in Round Rock store was very pleasant and helpful. This sound bar works with my direct tv remote and my Samsung tv remote, it turns off after some inactive time lapse. The louder it gets the better it sounds. On a regular of tv time, I would have preferred some sound settings to suit my ears like some treble or bass settings but there are none, so I am kinda disappointed. On some reviews HDMI input on this would have been better but for me I could'nt care less about it, does the job for me and sound quality get 8/10. Oh yea woofer is awesome.

PROS
Excellent sound quality - very balanced. I can hear all of the whispers in movies and TV shows, and still not have to turn it down with the loud scenes come.
CONS
It is quite a bit larger than other sound bars on the market. I ended up having to build a small stand for my TV to sit on so the sound bar would not block the TV for our remote.
The remote is very small and easily misplaced. I've also found I need to be pointing the remote a certain way to get it to work. Could be better.
The sound quality was ultimately what I was looking for, and since I found this on sale, there was no better deal out there. I listened to several other sound bars while comparing in Best Buy, included in a Sony 2.1, Samsung 4.1 and Bose Cinemate and Solo 15. The Klipsch blew the Sony and Samsung away in sound quality. It was a close comparison to the Bose system. I decided on the Klipsch because Bose does not offer Bluetooth connectivity in their systems. I would have had to purchase another box to connect for this feature.

I bought this sound bar to replace my Bose 2.1 system that I've had for over 20 years. First off, kudos to Bose for making incredible speakers and subs. I have owned nothing but Bose so to find a sound bar that competed with a top tier company was shocking enough.
The Klipsch R-10B has amazing sound. The highs are crystal clear, the mids are perfectly in place. The included subwoofer puts outstanding bass perfectly into the mix. The system, when played side by side, is actually better than the Bose unit. The Klipsch is louder and more enriched sound. I love my Bose and will not be getting rid of it by any means, but for a Black Friday deal of $349.00 I feel like I found a soundbar that easily competes with a $1400 Bose unit.
I conducted extensive research on product reviews of this Klipsch unit and that is what ultimately drove me to this soundbar.
My only negative is that the plastic soundbar feels a little cheap but overall, I'm still very happy with the unit. If you have the $1500 to purchase a Sonos soundbar and Subwoofer, that is the only soundbar that is above this Klipsch unit in my opinion.

I like this sound bar a lot. I have only two issues with it, albeit minor issues. First, using the remote to adjust the volume is rather annoying. You have to be pretty much straight in line with it for it to work. If you're like me and have a sectional or seating off to the side, using the remote is quite annoying at times. Second, I didnt think it would be an issue when I bought the sound bar but not having a display on it kinda sucks too. You cant set the volume to a specific number that you know is either loud enough or quiet enough for what you need. All in all, the sound is fantastic. By far the best sound bar I found for the money. I have it sitting on a glass shelf that my wife was worried about the vibration breaking and so far, 3 months in and countless hours of gaming and action movies, and it hasnt even budged. I like the fact that when I turn on my tv the sound bar also turns on so I dont have to grab the remote, that sucks, and try and turn it on. Overall I am extremely satisfied with this purchase.

I listened to all the sound bars with subwoofers at Best Buy, except for the SONOS as that was way too much money and felt that the Klipsch had the best sound. This is a no frills system, the remote control that comes with it is a joke. The unit should have digital numbers on the front to tell you the sound volume, but it does not. It is best to mount the unit on the wall as it is quite high and when placed on a TV stand in front of the TV, it will cut off around an inch and a half of the lower portion of your TV screen, so you will need to find a way to raise your TV up an inch and a half on your stand.
This unit makes watching regular TV so much more enjoyable.
Although I feel the unit is overpriced, I can still recommend it due to the sound quality.

I bought Klipsch soundbar a month ago from best buy, the salesperson was very knowledgeable and was able to demonstrate the Klipsch quality at the demo set. I was originally going to spent 200 - $300 on soundbar. but decided to buy Klipsch which is $599+ this is made in USA! but believe it or not its worth every $. At first when I turned it on, my kids started crying, because of the loud base, then we adjustedit, kids love it now :) it is very very loud specially the subwoofer gives a lot of base that shakes my whole house. I have a big family room and it is perfect sound system for this size. I will recommend Klipsch to people have bigger tv rooms and enjoy watching movies with sound effect, you will hear every bit and very clearly. This is an incredible sound system with only soundbar and a subwoofer system, not many wires running around your room. Klipsch: you have nailed it !!

Simple but effective audio source. Will vastly improve your listening pleasure! The heart of the system is its sub that offers tight, powerful distortion free excitement! Easy set up, wireless sub and Bluetooth connectivity. Not a lot extra features; Internet reviews state sound was the best feature you get buying this sound bar. To me that is the only feature I care about. Pricy but so was your TV.

I have never been a fan of soundbars. I had a surround sound system with a big Onyco, 165 per channel. My wife has a hard time hearing the voices, and my speakers did not match. She purchased the sound bar to my surprise. All in all it sounds 100% than the tv speakers and was very easy to hook up. It does not have volume bar on the TV screen
So it is hard to get to the same level if you change the channel. The subwoofer does a decent job, and to my surprise it sounds decent with music.

We are both in our 70's and this has helped us both understand the words better .Easy to set up and use. Fits under our 65 inch smart tv just fine. Sub woofer sets back behind coach. Remote could be larger and easier to read. Sounds come out great.

Klipsch Sound Bar delivers excellent sound quality. When movies are playing I feel like I am in a theater. I am able to easily connect my smart phone or tablet with the Bluetooth and play my music. It gives me a nearly live concert experience. I believe this product to be worth the price.

I am completely pleased with my purchase, definitely a good buy for the money. Easy setup. Sound quality from sound bar is great for me, bass, however, is amazing when volume is up. I have my sub turned all the way up and normal tv watching it seems a little lacking, but still great. But when you turn up the volume the bass will definitely rattle the house, no distortion. I like to feel what im watching, so i was going to buy the R-20B (10" sub and 2 more speakers in sound bar) only to find out the power rating is the same, the only benefit to getting the R-20B is you'll hear some deeper tones. To most people, probably couldnt tell the difference, so i decided to keep the R-10B and save a couple hundred. Definitely a good buy for mid-price level.

I can't begin to tell you how pleased we are with this Klipsch soundbar. I knew nothing about soundbars when I asked my son-in-law (who is somewhat knowledgeable about them) to accompany me to our local Best Buy to help me pick out a soundbar for a Christmas present for my wife. She has been very disappointed with the sound from the rear-facing speakers on our year old TV.
With the help of the Best Buy salesperson we listened to all the soundbars on display and finally deemed this Klipsch to sound the best.
It's a little pricely, but worth it. All I can say is I never knew TV could sound this good. More important though is that my wife is very happy with her gift!

This sound bar beats any of the TV brand sound bars out there. True rich sound with deep bass. Bought it at half price as it was today's special. Definitely would have paid full price. Can't beat this sound bar blue tooth sub combo.

The sound quality of this sound bar is amazing crisp highs and head banging lows. The only thing I don't like is the miniature remote control. Also wish there was a digital display on the sound bar. Would definitely purchase again.

I went into the store with a few hundred dollars to spend on a sound bar , and couldn't make up my mind as the ones I could afford seemed cheap and I felt I would not be happy with them after playing around with demo models on the floor . I spotted this one with the sub and saw what the normal price was and quit looking at it . a sales person came over and demonstrated this unit and it sounded awesome! Then I found out it was on sale close to the budget I had . I spent a little more then I thought I was going to , but it was well worth it and now that I know how great it sounds I would pay a little more then the sale price I got it for . I've been very happy with it and would recommend it .
