Better than expected.
Sound great. Better than expected. Easy to set up. The two speakers connect via standard speaker wire and can be spaced pretty far apart if needed. Seem solid. Don’t lose the remote as controls on the speaker are extremely limited. I paired them with a Klipsch sub and I would highly reccomended this as the bass is so much better.

Awesome Sound, Perfect Size
Perfect! I just hooked these Klipsch R-50PM's to my U-Turn Orbit Turntable & my little sound system is AWESOME! Not too much bass or treble; these speakers have the perfect balance. If you have a small apartment, these speakers are the PERFECT size.

Non-Professional Audiophile Says YES!
Simply put, these Klipsch speakers hit the spot if you’re looking for a sound that’s accurate, satisfyingly clear and versatile. For reference, I’m a non-professional audiophile. Currently own the latest Sonos Immersive Set (Gen 2 Beam, 2 Eras Speakers for surround, plus the Mini Sub) in addition to the Edifier S3000 MKII’s which are hooked up to a WiiM Ultra (using as a DAC for endless sound customization and to hook them up to a sub easily) and the Klipsch R-100SW Subwoofer - both are phenomenal depending on the sound I’m in the mood for including music, movies, TV, etc. Nonetheless, when I saw these R-40PM’s on sale for literally 50%+ off, I gave in and bought them just to see… after all, they do play perfectly with my Klipsch sub. NO REGRETS. They fill the room wonderfully and give that classic Klipsch airy, wide-stage sound. It’s pure, satisfyingly full and warm. They get loud with ZERO distortion at any level in a 20x12 room hooked up to my Klipsch sub. I would not feel the same without the sub. They need it if you’re looking full-spectrum sound and want to play them loud. If you don’t want the added sub, I’m sure the larger R-50PM’s would deliver what you’re looking for. Pro Tip: If you want to get the best sound possible when using with your TV, I strongly recommend getting a WiiM Ultra so you can get Dolby Atmos sound (converted to PCM Atmos). To do this, simply connect a high-speed HDMI cable from your TV to the WiiM Ultra, then use either high-quality RCA cables or an optical cable from the WiiM to the R-40PMs. You can then use the AI sound correction from the WiiM app to customize the sound perfectly to your room. Much much better sound compared to simply connecting the TV to the speakers via an optical cable. Hope this helps!

Big sound from a small speaker
Im a big fan of these speakers. First things first. They sounded a bit tinny at first, but the more I listen to them, the better they sound. Speakers have a typical 10 to 12 hr break-in period before they start sounding their best. I got the 4 inch woofer model. I like that they have Qualcomm's Apt X built in which takes your Bluetooth streaming sound up a big notch by making it HD. The tweeters are more on the bright side. The woofers are small but surprisingly punchy. They sound good on their own but sooooo much better after I hooked up the Klipsch 10 inch sub that I bought separately. I use the speakers for music and movies so a separate sub was needed for sure. Overall, for the size of this speaker, I give the sound quality and features a 9/10.

Decent but there are better options
The speakers aren’t bad for their size but I think there are better options out there at this price point. The decision to use MDF to cut costs is unfortunate and it looks cheap. The speaker wire it came with wasn’t high quality and was only ~6 feet long, which is too short. Package was missing the rubber pads and klipsch gave me the runaround and refused to send me a set, saying they needed to “escalate your request to our management team.” If that’s how they approach such a minor thing, I doubt they stand behind their warranty. All in all, my sense is that the company is more interested in cutting corners than making great speakers.

Great sound
Great sound for the size and price. A little bit challenging to connect with my turn table. I would recommend if looking for speakers in this price range. Love to be able to listen to vinyls!

KLIPSCH: tried & true 👍
Great sound, don't let the size fool you. I'm only using these in a bedroom of about 130 square ft. And these deliver!! No joke! I'll be backing up the low end with a Caldera 10 subwoofer. Idk if it's needed bcuz I think bass bis not this speakers weak point. Hyly recommend!

Film izlerken projektör sesini vermek için aldık. Küçük, sade ve şık. Bu markada tizlerin baskın olduğu söylenir ama en azından bu üründe durum öyle değil. (Ben belki de yaşım itibarıyla(45) biraz parlak ses seviyor olabilirim. Referans için JBL Flip6'lar aynı konumdan çok daha parlak bir ses veriyor ve kötü stereo pairing performanslarına rağmen müzik için onları tercih ediyorum.) Baş hizzasında değillerse tizler çok kayboluyor, o yüzden yerleşimini iyi planlamanız lazım. Bizde yer olmadığı için mecburen zemine koyduk(olabilecek en kötü yerleşim) ama karşısında kanepede oturarak film izlediğimiz için idare ediyoruz. Diğer ufak şikayetim, bluetooth bağlantısı sessizce kuruluyor. Yani bağlantının kurulduğuna dair bir ses gelmiyor. Sadece önündeki ledden anlaşılıyor. Ayrıca ilk fabrika çıkışında sesi o kadar kısık bırakmışlar ki, ilk kurarken bir süre ses alamadım ve ürün bozuk sandım. Ses düğmeleri de sesi azar azar artırıp azalttığı için(ki aslında bu çok iyi) ilk ses alana kadar bayağı bir basmak gerekti kumandada. Ses gecikmesi 150/200ms civarı. Film izlerken VLC Player gibi bir app kullanıyorsanız senkronizasyonu kolayca ayarlayabiliyorsunuz ama streaming hizmetlerde bu pek kolay değil. Ben duyarlı olduğum için farkediyorum ancak rahatsız etmiyor. Eşim hiç farketmiyor bile. Dinlemeden almayın derim.

Excelente calidad de sonido, su variedad de entradas (analógicas y digitales) las hacen compatibles con prácticamente cualquier dispositivo, las complementé con un sub woofer y el resultado es fantástico.

Amazing performance for the size and price point.

La calidad del sonido es buena, nítida, no se sienten intensos los agudos y los medios se oyen excelente. En el tema BASS no es que hagan un gran "boom" pero si puedes notarlos. Si quieres BASS potente tendrás que usar uno dedicado y ahí si, el sonido mejora bastante.

These speakers are amazing for their size and price—the detail is incredible. A subwoofer is a must to truly capture the low end, and I’ve paired mine with an SVS subwoofer—the result is phenomenal. The sound is rich, dynamic, and incredibly satisfying.
