Constant connectivity issues. Bluetooth drops after every song change. Source sense doesn't work well. Included surround speakers and subwoofer decide not to work half the time. Wired an extra sub and the soundbar refuses to send power to it a lot of the time. Wouldn't recommend this if they were giving it away.
Sound is very impressive. Instructions could be a little more clear, especially when pairing with the surround speakers. Minor but still frustrating to learn to install the pairing usb in the sound bar when it’s not in the sound bar instructions. Pictures are poor quality. Took longer than it should to get everything right. But then you get that Klipsch sound filling the room!!!
Bluetooth is a little flaky. Cuts on and off frequently.
Sound and bass are great for my 15x20 room.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great subwoofer with a terrible sound bar

The Klipsch 800 has a fantastic subwoofer unfortunately that’s all there is to offer. The sound bar itself lacks mids and you have to turn it up to 85 or 90 in order to hear the sound bar. The sub is fantastic probably the best sounding sub you’re going to get. The 800 is good for movies however it’s terrible for music and ok for TV viewing. The Dolby atmos is terrible, it really is nonexistent and definitely not worth the asking price. The different options for movies, party, TV, music and standard sounds helped, but not much. Our experience was lackluster with the Klipsch 800 sound bar and returned it. The 600 sounds the same and the price is less so it’s the way to go, but even that is overpriced. Klipsch makes great towers so we thought a Klipsch sound bar would sound good. We were so wrong and disappointed in the 800. For the price you can get a better bar or something else.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Set up very difficult and inconsistently works

I purchased this sound bar and wanted to like it so much but it has been a very difficult set up and really only functions 40% of the time. Ate this time, I am incredibly disappointed with this purchase. The sound when it works is ok at best as well. does not seem to have much power behind it. Hopefully its an easy fix, but cant figure it out as of yet.

Great Soundbar, when it works
on February 24, 2022

I bought this system 6 months ago, and about every week to every other week, the speaker just stops putting out sound. The speaker is hooked up through HDMI Arc to a 65” Samsung TV. I have to unplug the system and let it sit overnight before plugging it back in to get it to work again. Klipsch customer support has been rather un-helpfull. At this price pount I think the system should be able to auto-update the firm-ware/soft-ware to opperate properly. The Klipsch App has also been more or less useless.
