Customer Reviews for Klipsch - The Fives Powered Speakers with HDMI-ARC - Matte Black

They're very nice speakers. Sound great. I was able to download the apps for updating the fives, and managed to locate a USB to update the speakers. Not sure why a speaker needs updates, and maybe that's on me for buying speakers that require it. I can't tell a difference in sound with the dynamic base. The speakers do get a little fizzy at really high volumes. I like that they have multiple options for connecting and playing audio from. I had them hooked up to the TV and the record player, and the speakers do not switch audio automatically when one device is turned on. They would sometimes immediately turn on with the TV but not consistently. If we had been using the record player and turned on the tv, it would connect to the TV sometimes, but not others, and I cannot figure out why. We've decided to use them exclusively for the record player, but if I had known they wouldn't be functional for both devices we probably would have gone with a less expensive option. Very nice if you're using them for a single dedicated item, but less nice if you want a seamless transition between multiple audio players.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Everything will have to be rewatched within minutes of hooking my new speakers up! Highs are sweeter, lows are subtle but strong, midrange just twinkles through both ranges. This is for music and movies, both are totally different listening experiences!

SUPER AMAZING and FUN speakers to use and hear

I love these little speakers so much, I've purchased 2 pairs!! I consider myself an audiophile enthusiast and am a long time musician and studio operator. I have ATC studio monitors in my studio, which are 15x the cost of The Fives, and provide the precision I need in the studio. However, THE FIVES are so FUN to listen to on a variety of sources. I have them full time on my entertainment system (TV, streaming, etc). I also stream via my phone. I also have them connected to my vintage Carver Pre-Amp for LP's, CD's, etc. I just LOVE THE FIVES. The are really fun and exciting to listen to. Maybe not the accuracy or precision I'm used to on my ATC monitors, but for the money..... they are fantastic. You do need to do a USB update when you first install for firmware, which is sort of a hassle. But then you have an APP on your phone for EQ control (and you may want it, as these can be BASS HEAVY..........yes, that mini speaker PUSHES MASSIVE AIR..... insane). I highly recommend these little modeling speakers, they are just too good to be true for the cost and experience. Get a couple pairs, I did :)

Completely disappointed
on April 29, 2024

Good sound, but the firmware and software was garbage out of the box. Couldn't easily switch between inputs, volume would go full up and full down with a single press of the remote. Couldn't connect to the app. Had to manually update them via USB and an updater app; took multiple tries for it to take. Still had issues with the app connecting and the volume would change on its own. Klipsch has been around long enough not to be putting stuff like this out at this price point. This was my first purchase of a Klipsch product. I had high hopes for these because of their history and reputation. But I have been completely disappointed. I returned them and not sure if I would buy another Klipsch product if this is the level of quality they produce. I might consider their passive speakers, but I'll never buy anything active from them again.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Lower review because the bass was boomy and not tight. No adjustments available to compensate for this. Highs and mid-range sounded good. Quality of speaker and materials was high.
