Klipsch Reference RSB-11 Sound Bar with Wireless Subwoofer

Great sound! Remote and interface with TV have issues. The sound quality with base is great! The highs are crisp and the base blends in very well with the sound experience. Interestingly, do not use without the woofer. The sound, even the high end, just will not sound right. The entire sound package compliments a movie or TV show to complete the experience.Music alone is where the RSB-11 really shines. Even when I stream from my Android phone the room comes alive with very clear tones and smooth base. The volume can get fairly loud and will satisfy that desire to blast your favorite songs!On the negative side, the TV interaction has some time-out problems. The Klipsch should activate when the TV turns on which it does most of the time. However, if you pause your show for about 5 minutes or longer, the Soundbar no longer is activated. You then need to grab your Klipsch remote for the sound bar to re-engage. Klipsch leads you to believe that all you need is your TV remote. For me, this is true about half the time. J just got in the habit of grabbing both remotes.Sometimes I wish I had one of the other models that would sync with a speaker in another room. When I want great music to be available when I move between rooms, I do not like leaving the room with the soundbar. But, you guessed it, just crank it up so you and your neighbors can enjoy your music when you move to that other room!If you do not mind a little inconvenience with the remote issue, you will love the sound for this price point!

I bought this, because I have been using a Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 for an TV audio system for years now, and that thing sounds fantastic. Also $150, so keep that in mind.Now onto this sound bar which I paid $399 for, and MSRP is $599. The bar itself sounds ok, but it doesnt have near the detail of the satellites from the ProMedia, but it's still a pretty good sound overall, better for movies, not so good with music.My biggest complaint though is with the subwoofer, it works fine. I had no connectivity issues. But it is severely lacking in the bass department, and I was not expecting this considering it's bigger and heavier than the ProMedia.Now I was wondering why my $150 ProMedia 2.1 outperforms a $599 soundbar system. So i called klipsch and asked him if maybe there was something I was doing wrong. And he simply told me that no, my ears werent lying to me, he said it's designed for a smaller apartment where you dont have much room and cant make a bunch of noise.Which ok, I get that people buying this will be living in those spaces possibly. But Klipsch's motto is pissing off the neighbors, and also theres a subwoofer adjustment, why cant you just let it be loud at full volume, and people who want it quieter can turn it down?Needless to say I returned, a pain itself as the box probably weighed 50 lbs at least.Pros:- Decent soundbar- Great remote- Easy to setup- No annoying lights on the soundbar- Good designCons:- Weak subwoofer- Expensive for what you get

I like this soundbar for movies, tv and sports. I like the fact that is does 4K, HDMI out and has 3 HDMI in ports for my devices, cable box, chrome cast and Blu Ray player. Dolby digital sounds great and very loud, crisp highs, good bass, but the bass can get overwhelming and sound muffled at high levels. I have a media room and so it’s tough to compare tower speakers and center, Klipsch RP-450C, 2 Klipsch RP280s and 4 Klipsch CDT 5800 IIs to a soundbar. The soundbar was in my master bedroom, but I moved it to a spare bedroom and my parents usually stay in that room when they come to visit for the weekend so it’s fine for them.I’ve had the soundbar for a while now and I like it, but do not love it. I wish they would have added a 10” inch subwoofer instead of an 8”, especially paying $599 for this.One major complaint has been Bluetooth, losing connection or breaking up while only being less than 5-10’ away from the soundbar. I do not have any interference that would interfere with the Bluetooth and I’ve done the firmware updates and still didn’t work well. I opted out of using it. I ended up switching to a JBL Bar 5.1 for my Master bedroom and this sounded much better than this soundbar.

This was my first home theater/sound bar purchase, I am by no means an audiophile. After extensive research online, I went to a big box store to listen to the systems I was interested in, although I'm not sure what you hear in the store is completely representative of what you will hear at home with your TV/Blue Ray. I was leaning toward the Polk Magni-fi, JBL 3.1, Yamaha YAS 207, and Klipsch RSB 6 or 8. I was underwhelmed by the Polk and JBL. The Yamaha was not on display so I was unable to hear it. The only system that to my ear compared to the Klipsch was the Sony HTNT5, and since the Klipsch RSB 11 was on sale at $450 I felt it was by far the best value. I had a pair of Klipsch Heresy 1 speakers I bought new, which outlasted a couple amps, and sold a couple years ago, probably for close to what I paid new, and found them to be of the highest quality. The first RSB 11 that was delivered would play for about 20 minutes, then I would hear a pop and it would turn off. I was put off by that and hesitant to try another, but I exchanged it and have had no issues with the replacement. It adds a new dimension to viewing TV and movies and really brings them alive. I hoped to spend a little less, but felt the Klipsch RSB 11 was worth the extra expense. I'm completely satisfied with it, and I think you will be too!

Les évaluations de ce produit dans les revues spécialisées étaient très positives. En effet, la qualité du son est superbe. Toutefois, la télécommande ne fonctionne pas bien, Klipsch devrait m'en expédier une sous peu. La télécommande est essentielle car c'est le seul moyen de controler le volume sur l'appareil. A quelque occasions la barre de son ne répondait plus du tout. Il suffit alors de la débrancher de la prise de courant, attendre environ 10 secondes et rebrancher le tout. Et elle fonctionnera à nouveau..
