5.0 out of 5 stars This Box is a Beast!!!

(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } This one is a BOOMER!!!   Sound on this speaker is unrivaled.  For a drummer who wants to feel the music in his chest, this is the perfect beast.  From Elvis to Anthrax, Mose Allison to Devin Townsend...this speaker delivers gorgeous, precise, full bodied sound.  A true beast with plenty of punch.  Bass is strong but can be easily be controlled with the presets, bass and treble controls.  The retro look is awesome, very classy.    Not bothering me, but may affect other buyers:  The online controls through the APP are minimal.  Since I am always playing an EQ'ed source (through my phone or computer) it doesn't matter to me.  That may be a problem for others.  And you are not going to get this speaker to be very quiet.  Again, you can tweak it from your source player, but this box is robust and meant to be heard.

I've been searching far and wide for the perfect home speaker for our den. I've tried speakers that cost two to four times as much and have always been disappointed. Either too bright, not enough bass, empty, hollow, weak, you name it. I tried the JBL Authentics 500, Marshall Woburn III, KEF LSX II LT, and Cambridge Audio Evo One. In all fairness, the Cambridge Audio Evo One was obviously better than The Three, but it also costs $1500, and I couldn't justify it. Honestly, I believe The Three is 90% of the Evo One for less than 1/4 of the price.I have an original Klipsch The One and have always been very impressed with the amount and quality of sound that comes out of such a small box. So I thought I would give it's big brother a try and I was able to get The Three Plus used/like new for a great price.My search is over! This speaker far exceeds my expectations and destroys most other similar speakers that cost much more. Very full range, warm sound, but not weak in the mid's or high's at all. It's also very smooth and not shrill or harsh, like many Klipsch speakers (horn loaded). It can also effortlessly get very loud with near wall shaking bass. A subwoofer is NOT required, which is something I was looking for.Can't be more pleased with this thing, I've been searching for the right speaker for months.My only complaint is that it doesn't have native Airplay2/network support. Apparently the USB port can power a Wiim Mini and that can be plugged into the RCA ports or optical port to add that functionality. I would suspect that the Wiim has a better DAC than The Three, so RCA is probably the way to go. It honestly doesn't need it unless you are hyper critical of your music purity.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow in every way

I first purchased the one II and I actually was underwhelmed and returned it to try this model . What a difference ! Booming sound to at can fill an entire house let alone a room . Warm times with powerful but clear base and beautiful mids and treble. Build quality is excellent as well with solid wood and metal and no plastic . Love that it will turn itself off after 15 minutes if no use and turn on when it’s time to pair . Would be nice to have separate base and treble controls in the unit but you can adjust with its very basic app . Would also have liked a remote control . But sound wise —-Easily the best Bluetooth speaker I’ve heard and I have heard many .

The build and sound quality is remarkable. The array of connection options is convenient; I primarily connect via bluetooth and have had no issues with connecting various devices. The two reasons i haven't given this a 5 star review is volume control and the the Klipsch Connect app.. This doesn't appear to be the best speaker for quieter, background listening. It gets loud quickly at very low volume (1-3) and is indeed bass rich. This can be controlled somewhat with the equalizer feature on the app., but more nuanced control over volume would be an enhancement. The app itself is somewhat basic and a bit sluggish but functions well enough to control the unit. Overall, I have been satisfied with this speaker as I was mostly looking for sound quality and not concerned about portability. I would recommend checking it out if you are looking for high quality sound in a relatively compact design.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible sound quality

This speaker will fill your room with your music or podcasts, with unbeatable sound quality. I actually bought this to use at work, which is a very loud environment, where I have ear plugs in the entire shift. Even while my machine is running I don't have to turn the volume to 100%, yet I can still hear my music with clarity. I compared many Bluetooth speakers online, including smart speakers, but I'm absolutely satisfied that I went with Klipsch. It's the perfect size to move from room to room, or set up and take down daily as I do. The sound is just incredible.

1.0 out of 5 stars Shockingly Bad Sound!!

Shockingly Bad Sound!! Yes: I saw the other "1" and "2" reviews, and as a Klipsch Home Theater speakers owner I told myself "No: it can't be THAT bad", Well... YES: It really DOES sound like a cheap no-name $40 bluetooth speaker that you bought from the drug store!If you KNOW Sound, if you're an audiophile or if you've heard really good Sound before, then like me: You would be embarrassed to have any friends hear this awful thing in your home ;) My new Plus-3 is getting returned...

5.0 out of 5 stars High Fidelity Personified!!

The media could not be loaded. I have to say I was very surprised by how much of a kick this Klipsch 2.1 Bluetooth speaker has to it--- I'm now even using it to watch some movies/shows instead of my previous Yamaha soundbar---This is 100% high fidelity personified and the ability to plug it into a record player via standard audio inputs(as heard in the video) as well as bluetooth and optical cable input is a big game changer!I highly recommend this!! The end.
