I have owned and listen to many portable bluetooth speakers, the Detroit is in a league of its own.

I recently purchased the Detroit model. I’m extremely happy with it. It sounds great, it’s plenty loud, and it feels like it is sturdy and well made. I’m looking forward to listening to the Detroit speaker when I’m grilling, golfing, in the garage, or by the pool. I would purchase this again.

Absolutely stunning! Has more bass than I could expect from a speaker that's portable. The mids and highs and overall balance makes every song seem brand new. I hear instruments and detail that I have only heard from my home setup.

Sounds great on the patio, in the garage, away from the house, and anywhere else I've used it. Solidly made - no cheap plastic! Plays for hours without needing recharge.

I've been playing this portable speaker for many weeks and now I'm ready to tell something about my experience.
First I have to say that, even though it remains portable, it's larger and heavier than I thought, but it's not a problem for me since I bought it to listen some music in my garden, so I don't have to carry it around on a regular basis.
The overall looking is very pleasant and the sensation is of a good built, durable and premium product. The rubber coating and the front grid with the Klipsch logo are solid; the adjustable belt is very comfortable, even if it partially covers the battery indicator.
The upper buttons are a little bit small in my opinion and they need a little prolonged pressing to operate.
Pairing with my smartphone was very easy and the signal is clear and stable even at long (for the bluethoot connection) distance. I didn't like the "flat" setting so I adjusted it to my liking in a few minutes with the Klipsch Connect app.
It came with less than half of the battery so I wanted to discharge it completely (which took about 8 hours) before charging it.
The entire recharge takes about 3 hours and with a use at various volumes, but mostly 50%, it lasts more than 20 hours which for me means more than a week.
When it comes to how it plays, guys this thig is literally a jawdropper! When I listen to it I keep wandering how can such crisp, clear, defined and POWERFUL sound come out of a small speaker. You can feel the bass in your chest. That's a beautiful peace of engineering!
Never forget that we are talking about a compact portable speaker but believe me, I've listened many of these devices, even those that are most blazoned, and this Detroit is second to none.
There's only one thing I can criticize and it's the volume control. It's set on a 10 level scale which makes it few granular, many times one is too low and the next is too high. If they made it on a 20 level scale would be perfect.
