Fantastic sound quality and value for money.

We have had this soundbar for two (2) years and love it. Our previous sound system was massive and cables everywhere and was dated so we upgraded to this and have never looked back. Now and then you need to relink your subwoofer but that takes but a few seconds. Not sure why it disconnects but it is probably every 6 (six) months or so, therefore not a big ask.

No Bass

Was really disappointed, no bass until you turn it way up and then still lackluster. I'm a long time Klipsch fan so expected better

Deceived

Ordered and bought the sound bar. Read all of text about it. Install it and find out that the sound bar does not come on when the tv is turned on. In order to turn on the sound bar it requires my tv remote as well as the sound bar remote. Very inconvenient !!!!!!

Pairing issue.

Waiting for a replacement, the SW would not pair to the sound bar. Following the directions, the blue indicator light never illuminated.

Sound bar review!

The only thing I think could be better is if you could sync the volume to your cable remote!

Disappointed with this product

Disappointed with the quality on this product, even at the lower price point. Received 2 sets with broken subwoofer and had to return both. The sound bar was ok sound given the price.

How about some help

Received package in good shape and timely. Mounted sound bar, very simple. Followed instructions to power up and pair the little sub woofer and nothing. The blue light never came on. I have sent two inquires to Klipsch but as of now no response.

Disappointed

I've always been a fan of Klipsch.I ordered the Surround 3 speakers and the R-48 ll. When I plugged the dongle for the surround speakers, the dongle got extremely hot. Unfortunately my sound bar R-48 ll did not function properly in fact the speakers from my new Samsung tv sounded better than the surround bar, which was surprising. But I wanted the bass from the subwoofer. I had to return it.

Don't buy if you like convenience

Subwoofer disconnects and won't reconnect unless system is restarted, and it's allowed to connect first to soundbar. This is an incredibly stupid setup for a PC, where sleep is a thing. I've already purchased a different set of speakers. Rather than giving these away or re-selling, I'm going to derive a bit of value for my annoyance from smashing them and putting them in the trash.

Optical cable in 2 pieces

Doesn't work the optical cable would not fit then the end came off. Replaced it and could not get any sound from the bar. It is sitting in my closet will likely put it in the trash

Great sound, annoyingly bad subwoofer connection

The sound out of this sound bar is great, especially when the subwoofer works. Problem is the subwoofer disconnects from the sound bar constantly. I have it sitting 5 ft away from the sound bar with clear line of sight and nothing in between. There's absolutely no reason why I should need to reconnect the subwoofer every single time I turn the soundbar on. I will never buy a wireless subwoofer again. When the subwoofer does not turn on, the sound is very thin.

Thank you for standing behind your product

The system arrived on time, but the subwoofer wouldn?t power up. The customer service representative (Nick) was very helpful and immediately shipped out a newer model and I returned the RB4 II.

It sounds good for the tv. 6.5 sub is okay. I just wish I could control the treble more easily.

Worthless. I purchase the cinema 600 in 11/2020

Please read reviews from other sound bars. Purchased cinema in 11/2020. In January 2022 Bluetooth stopped working. And the wireless subwoofer is not connecting any more. Also bought the surround sound speakers that don't connect anymore. Many other folks are having issues with no solution per Reddit and other sites.

Klipsch, but ?

Others have said it, hopefully Klipsch is revising the product. The sound bar itself is fine, but as many have said there is little to no bass. It appears that the bass setting is cleared every time the unit is turned off. If I press the button on the remote, it has plenty of bass available. The cost for the money would be just fine, if they didn?t forget the bass setting with every power off. And over time, the column up and down buttons on the remote seem to get less and less reliable. Aiming directly as the unit it won?t do a thing until you hit the button 4 to 6 times, then it works, as long as you don?t take your finger off the button too quick. If you do, it is likely to be back to no response again. These are small things which could easily be remedied. The unit sounds fine if you dial up the bass EVERY TIME and don?t mind the remote buttons working when they feel like it. I love my other Klipsch speakers, this could be a winner also with a couple of tweaks. Come on Klipsch.

All in all pretty good for price and easy setup

Purchased sound bar and sub while browsing through fb came up they were having a big sale. Decent sound from sound bar doesnt seem like much deep base but is only a 6" sub so theres that.

No bass at all.

Lacks Bass for my 70 yr old mom. Soundbar sounds good but the sub is lacking. Lacking is being generous.

Great sound at a great price

I love the sound bar and sub that came with it. The speakers were well packaged and the shipping was faster than expected. The installation was very easy. The sub connects via Bluetooth. The speakers sound amazing. I am glad that they were on sale.

Sound bar and sub woofer for TV

Hooked it up but can't use it because there is a high pitched buzzing sound that annoys some family members and I can't figure out why it is happening.

FEATURED REVIEWS

Yes! I would buy this product again!

By Maurice

Paul W. Klipsch was truly a legend in his own right! Regardless of the size of the investment one would make on any of the companies products, you get what you pay for without the hype and over selling, We live in a world that is not perfect, and you will have problems but that comes with the price of being human. So having said that, the R-48 II Sound Bar and the Wireless Subwoofer was a great investment for me. At first, setting it up presented an issue with connecting to the subwoofer, but...
