This thing just ROCKS!

This device is incredible! I currently have a Klipsch setup for my main system so I am a big fan of the typical Klipsch sound; amazing highs and mids. The one thing that blew me away was how big the sound was that came from this box. It has a very full sound with whatever you throw at it (rock, jazz, etc...). If you have a small space (bedroom, living room, etc...) this can replace a full system if you want to keep it simple. Great that it runs on either batteries or plug so I can take the amazing sound with me wherever I go. Keep in mind that this is not a small Bluetooth unit like some on the market. It does have some bulk and weight to it but that is also why it sounds the way it does. The connection is so very simple and out of the box, I had it pumping great sound in under 5 mins. Bluetooth connected right away to all my Apple devices (iPhone, iPad, and MacBook Pro...yes it's sad I know). I have not tested the life of the batteries yet but someone made the suggestion to use rechargeable batteries as it does use 8 Ds. Overall, if you are in the market, if not you should be, for a Bluetooth system that offers amazing sound, look no further. You will not be disappointed in this magic in a box!
Pros: Attractive, Easy To Set Up, Good Audio, Great Balance, Remote, Typical Klipsch Sound
Cons: NONE
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Speaker

This is a great speaker. I was not expecting it to be as big as it is, but it's still fairly light and very easy to carry around. Very easy to connect to any bluetooth device and it puts out great sound.
Pros: Attractive, Durable, Easy To Set Up, Energy Efficient, Good Audio
Cons: None at this time

I just received my KMC 3 before the July fourth weekend and used it all weekend! The sound quality is amazing! It easily filled up a room, or any outdoor space. An added bonus is how easy it is to set up! It quickly and effortlessly connected to both my phone and my iPod. If you are looking for speakers for easy entertaining, you can't go wrong with this one! The KMC 3 is awesome!
Pros: Attractive, Compact, Easy To Set Up, Good Audio

KMC 3 A head above the rest!

I have used this product on the go and at home. No matter where I use it, the quality of the KMC 3 is unmatched. It out performs some of my larger systems by packing a punch for its small, portable size. You will not find another wireless speaker that sounds as pure as the KMC 3. I also liked the fact that it can be plugged into the wall or run off of batteries. And as for battery use, the battery life is really good. One can clearly tell that the KMC 3 was designed with care and perfection. Even the box that it came in is highly crafted and aesthetically pleasing. Overall, fantastic product from Klipsch!
Pros: Amazing Quality, Attractive, Compact, Crystal Clear Sound, Durable, Easy To Set Up, Good Audio, Perfect Size

Fantastic sound with Bass being tight and not bassy, Clear Mids and natural Treble. Love the sensor touch buttons and the rubeer feeling finish. Bluetooth works seamlessly. I bought the white model and had no regrets. Before this I had audition the Sonos5 B&W A5 and the Bose Soundlinks.
Pros: Good Audio
Cons: NONE

I am using this for Studio Monitoring, House parties, DJ practices, Watch Movies and of course to the beach. I would like too see a solar system embedded in this system for more hours of enjoyment and to ease the usb output device charges.

Filled with Excessive Awesome!

As an audiophile and pro engineer I own many Klipsch products from Klipschorns to G-17. This addition to my "stable" of Klipsch products will be used mostly for remote music reproduction through phones, iPads, MacAir devices at parties, outdoors at the pool, etc. The volume is superb for use in a dispersed sound environment, the quality is up to what I expect from Klipsch :-) and the nice carrying box a great bonus!
Pros: Attractive, Compact, Durable, Easy To Set Up, Energy Efficient, Good Audio

Easily The Best Portable Stereo For Sale
on June 17, 2013
Posted by: Driver_King
from Orlando, FL
The Klipsch KMC3 handily whoops competition in nearly every aspect of sound. From its accurate treble and highs that add clarity, detail, and precision to individual instruments to its pleasing, tonally neutral and accurate midrange - vocals, instrumental reproduction (from smooth jazz, to metal, to EDM, pop music, etc.) - and finally its low end prowess with unexpectedly powerful bass extension, heft, and unusually 'fast', responsive (not sloppy or exaggerated - I'm looking at you Bose and Beats) lower register tones, the Klipsch KMC3 is an all around triple threat to its competition. While I am a fan of all technologies and am incredibly open minded to trying different brands and technologies, after trying the most popular options for portable music units - including Bowers and Wilkin's Zeppelin, the Bose SoundDocks, Beats Beatbox, and Sonos Play3 and Play5 - I have yet to find a unit that can tick the three aforementioned areas of sound quality off of its kickin' qualities list. So far, only Klipsch has managed to knock that list out of the park and as far as I'm concerned, there is not a better portable sound dock for the money. Unlike many of its competitors, it does not need to be in the corner to provide excellent bass quality (actually, placed in the corner may provide too much bass depending on the song, which you could accordingly EQ out on your phone if need be) and the KMC3 also does not have an all too common voice veil, unlike some of its competitors (if you were to hear all of the units and then hear the difference with the KMC3, it may make more sense). The connectivity via Bluetooth is incredibly quick and painless as it should be and switching sources to the 3.5mm audio input (for connecting PCs, TVs, CD players, etc.) The white design in my opinion is slicker than the black KMC3. I also like the black paint edition, however, for taking the unit out in the sun, out to the beach, by the window, or wherever, you may also find that the white version is a looker, compared to the more common black version. I have a red Lumia 920 and black Surface RT, which I find complement the color of the beautiful KMC3 unit. Overall, the only minor quibbles that I might possibly have with the KMC3 (really, any product will have something) are that the APT-X Bluetooth codec is not supported by more than a few portable devices on the market thus far, which really isn't a complaint toward the unit itself but the technology behind it. While in general Bluetooth really does not sound bad with the KMC3, which would be a stretch by any imagination to say that it does, technophiles who are looking at a more solid installation of their devices with the KMC3 will likely find themselves connecting via the 3.5mm audio in, in which case the issue of Bluetooth would largely be a moot point for them. I have been enjoying Pandora radio (which maxes out at 128kbps bitrate anyway) over Bluetooth for the past four hours and frankly, I don't see how anyone could find much to criticize. The unit's full range drivers allow for seamless reproduction of midrange and highs, as previously mentioned, and the dedicated subwoofer driver hits the lows at any listening level with clarity and musicality. This brings me to my last couple of points. One is there is no EQ, which 99% of the time won't be necessary with this system, so it is hardly a knock on its peg. The next is loudness. The unit doesn't just get pretty loud, like its competition. It gets seriously loud. Loud enough to cause legitimate permanent hearing loss after extended periods of time at its' highest levels (which realistically most people won't be playing at unless they are purposely trying to attract complaints and/or police). Guys and gals, exercise common sense when using the unit at its higher limits of playback levels. It can get rocking and rolling at full volume, no doubt, but don't expose yourself to potentially damaging levels for too long. I love really loud music as much as the next person but I also really value listening to my favorite music AND my hearing. Basically, have fun but be careful. With that public announcement out of the way, I highly recommend the KMC3 to anyone looking to purchase a dock, portable music system, simple 2.1 computer speaker system, garage/workout sound system, or otherwise. I also really have to thank Klipsch Audio for providing me this unit from its KMC3 giveaway. I cannot say thanks enough for the enjoyment I am currently enjoying right now and that I will get out of the unit in the future from it. It is a perfect fit in my college dorm and makes up for the huge part of me that is missing currently (my homemade line array speakers back at home). I hope you enjoyed the review and that I was able to help with your opinion of this unit. But if you are even slightly skeptical, please do remain skeptical. Once you receive the unit, you will be all the more impressed with the results and may appreciate the unit even more than if you had assumed it would be everything you ever wanted in a portable sound system. Thanks again Klipsch! Klipsch Nation for life!
Pros: Attractive, Compact, Durable, Easy To Set Up, Energy Efficient, Good Audio, Superior To Competition
Cons: Apt-x Not Everywhere Yet, Heavy, No Automaticmanual Eq
