This is my first experience with a sound bar. I read a lot of reviews and went to the local store to listen to about 6 or 8 different ones. I chose this one for the quality of sound and depth of bass. I also liked the ability to stream music from my phone to it. I could not be happier with my choice. klipsch is a great brand and make excellent products

Great sound for minimal expense. This sound bar and subwoofer produce great sound with good bass at a lower cost than an entire system. Having only a single wire is an added bonus!! I previously owned a great Klipsch system but had speaker wire all over the house to connect everything. With the sound bar and a single wire, I still have great sound without the messy wire and cables. This system was a breeze to connect and I am very happy with my purchase. If you're looking for great sound with Bluetooth connectivity, this is an excellent product.

Best soundbar best buy stocks

This is the best soundbar system that best buy stocks. I had the older model jbl sb300. That in my opinion sounded pretty good, but i had an issue with speakers going out. so after the second time i gave up, its being repaired under warranty. So i went on a mission to find something that would replace this one. I wasn't aware at the time of what a challenge this would be.
First i tried the energy cs-30. My opinion is this is a pretty good soundbar, my issue with it was the midrange clarity and the crossover on the sub was preset to high so male voices would come out of it during shows and movies. This made dialogue hard to understand at times. so i returned it and bought the new jbl sb400.
the jbl sb400 had impressive bass and an over all good sound quality. Its very good for music, it lacked any high end " treble " clarity. You can't hear the sound water makes when it drips or the sound an arrow makes when its drawn back. I tried to like this one but it was no upgrade to what i had in fact i thought the sb300 sounded better.
I was looking for a good compromise of bass and treble clarity, i thought if i could combine the energy and the jbl. Then i heard a klipsch at a friends house he had the sb3 which is discontinued it sounded amazing!! I"m like i want this!!
So i take back the jbl and buy the klipsch r10b, i was interested in the r20b but no one stocks this for some reason.
I have to say the r10b is amazing, simply amazing. The bass is very clear and often surprises me. during shows its strong and when it needs to it can shake your walls. But the highs!! Oh man the highs are so clear and no distortion. You can hear every detail intended to be heard in a movie or show. And music sounds great as well. The highs and lows are so well balanced i still can't believe it. Voices are clear and crisp but not unnatural sounding. Remember its not a 5.1 system its a very basic and simple speaker combo that will impress the average user. If your a casual user who watches movies and tv shows and occasional music this is what you should buy. Its worth the money in my opinion.

Sound quality is good. I was able to easily hang the sound bar on the wall and set the woofer in the corner. The remote is very small and sometimes you have to hit the buttons several times to get them to "take". Each of the 2 devices has a shutoff switch to get rid of the red standby light and to shut off the electricity completely. This install was much easier than a surround sound with less wiring to do. Of course it doesn't sound as good as surround sound, but for $350.00 the sound bar is pretty clear and the woofer can rattle the walls.

I can't not even believe how incredible this system sounds! I was looking for a "wireless surround sound" system. But, they are still very expensive if you want "wireless". The sales agent was very helpful and turned me on to this system for a fraction of the cost. I owe him BIG TIME!!! ... THANK YOU!!!!!

Klipsch is never to disappoint. This speaker system has amazing quality sound and u can connect to your phone through Bluetooth unlike several other brand systems for the same price. It may be just a soundbar but it has the sound throw of a full 7 piece surround sound. It was well worth the price and I actually would have even paid more for it because it's that great of a product.

I bought this to replace a Boston Acoustics which was worthless. This unit gives you great sound in a number of ranges and comes with a heavy duty subwoofer (wireless). Easy to hook up and best of all, easy to program to a Direct TV remote.

Great product. Sound is excellent. Made a side-by-side comparison against Bose and Polk. I chose the Klipsch for quality and price point. All-around good sound quality and input selection. It shines when used for TV or movies. Lows are good but the mid's and highs are so clear it makes the movie experience that much better than the others I tested. Good selection of physical inputs allowing you to connect a verity of devices but the Bluetooth feature is very cool.

We recently moved to a new home and my previous floor and surround speakers wouldn't fit in the room where we put the big screen. I did some research and decided to try a sound bar to save on space. I went into the Best Buy store and the associate helped me test 7-8 different sound bars they had set up. This one had the best combination of bass and high frequency sounds for the money. Easy to install and sounds great in our set up. The remote is very small though, so it is easy for it to slide in between cushions.

This unit replaced an older Bose Acoustimass 6 system in a new home that wasn't setup for surround sound speakers. Open floor plan. I was very skeptical. They all sound great in the store but how would it sound in a room with vaulted ceilings? Amazing. Jaw dropping. Highly recommended. Setup is super easy. Programmed sound bar to work with my Logitech harmony remote.

Bigger than Bose Cinemate 15, which is in the same price range, but sounds as good and even might say better (I own both of them). Subwoofer connects via bluetooth and is awesome if you want to sit next to it and feel like you're in the movie, but we aware of connectivity issues (mine is installed in a building with a lot of interference).

I bought a small speaker elsewhere and it didn't have as much sound as my flat screen TV so a friend took me to Best Buy and the salesman showed us several but this one had more sound than any of them. I have problem hearing and this did the trick. It is about 2 1/2 ' long and really is wider than the TV, but for the sound, it is worth it.

The Best Buy sales rep was very helpful in picking out a sound bar. There are obvious cheaper brands with good High and Lows but lack the mid range. The Klipsch sound bar has a great sound with all 3 sound ranges. Easy to hook up to the TV. Sounds great from live TV, Movies and PS4 gaming.

I'm pretty happy with this soundbar, but wish it was either $100 less, or included HDMI. I used some reward zone certificates along with a 10% movers coupon, so the price was a little easier to swallow though.
Overall this thing sounds great in our bedroom. Vocals are crystal clear, bass is solid, and the blend between the soundbar and sub is pretty incredible. It DOES NOT offer surround sound or even simulated surround sound, so if this is what you want (I'd say don't bother, but to each their own) you need to look elsewhere.
What this thing DOES is make movies, games, TV shows and music come alive like no TV speaker on earth can. Everything sounds great, and very balanced. Not too much treble, mid, or bass. I purchased 3 other brands before coming to terms with the price of the Klipsch and this thing definitely sounds the best. Still maybe not *quite* worth what they ask for it, but pretty good sound none the less.

Read lots of reviews comparing the Klipsch systems to Bose systems. Most were in agreement that Klipsch sound systems are made for people where sound is the top priority -- not name brand recognition. So, we spent 1/3 the price and are very happy. Only issue was that it took some homework to finally get the universal remote to work with it.

This product was a little pricey but definitely worth the money you pay. I bought a Samsung 400 series and hated it the quality was terrible the movie volume at max was really low and bought the Klipsch and fell in love bluetoothing music and watching movies sounds like you're at a theater or a club.

Initially I had a " pro audio" guy try to sell me all the very pricey stuff.
It's for a vacation home on a golf course....and I'm not in the NFL...
I blew him off and this sound bar blows many " high end" systems away!
Great sound at all volumes! Great bass! Bluetooth...great!

I got this as a Christmas present to me .... I have checked out several sound bars , of course everyone is impressed with Bose many have full speaker systems (wires). for a two component system it simply rocks streams music from bluetooth . great sound well worth every penny.
