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

Simple, versatile, and amazing to listen to. I bought these for my hone office, after seeing a review of them on YouTube (Andrew Robinson). I was so impressed that I went out and replaced my living room setup with Heresy IV, and had to buy another set of the Fives for a buddy of mine as a gift. It’s crazy but I think I prefer the Fives to my living room setup. I only wish Klipsch would make “the Eights” or hell, “the Twelves” Ha!

Spectacular sound, crisp and powerful! Really outshines my cinema 400 soundbar, motivating me to want another set of these. Pairs incredible with a sub!

Out of the box, 3 stars. Maybe I need to work on configurations, but right now the highs are drowned out via HDMI or optical via TV, or Bluetooth. I was hoping to not need sound bar add, but we shall see. Otherwise, EVERYTHING else is superb.

OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE!! I am impressed beyond words, I got rid of my Samsung surround sound system because I heard a lot about the FIVES! Death of the sound bar!!! I will NOT go back. Also NO Subwoofer required. Trust me if you are on the fence, don't be! The FIVES delivers on it's promise to WOW you upon arrival.

Love my Klipsch 5s. I can crank music, watch TV with awesome sound and even play music through them. They are literally the most versatile speakers made. I love my 5s can’t live with out them. Also the best customer service I found out, needed a replacement cable and got it right away so no worries about that. Love the Klipsch crew. Props on F1 McLaren sponsorship too cool.

Awesome for Bass

These speakers really impressed me. I first bought a set to use as my TV speakers in the living room. The bass is way more than you expect from these little things. They are excellent for music as well as movies and very clear at high volume levels, especially when connected to a subwoofer which I have done (this cuts the bass output). I bought a second set to use in the home gym and in that small room the bass really bumps. It’s really not practical to put a subwoofer in there and honestly it’s not needed anymore due to how much bass these can deliver. Are they flat/accurate? No, but who cares? If I hadn’t found these I would’ve spent lots of money on a micro sub and had to figure out where to place it. To be fair, the update process using a USB stick is a little tedious for 2022, but it’s worth it.

Spend thousands or you can just buy these!

Wow these speakers are amazing. I was in the home audio and car audio business for 16 years in the past. I have had systems I have spent thousands on, and they didn't even sound as good as these simple bookshelf size speakers. I would never call these a bookshelf speaker, these should be front and center. The sound stage is amazing from just two speakers when positioned correctly. After unboxing them I listen to them first just by themselves and then added my sub. I'm speechless over the sound quality. I will say this, you have to be a fan of the way a horn sounds, it's in your face and if that's not for you, then this speaker is probably not for you, but I love that about them. I could stop right there and that would be enough, but all the different ways you can connect to these. Bluetooth, HDMI, and even a record player. The Klipsch app even gives you a simple three band equalizer, but I think the flat setting sounds perfect. I opted for the black mat ones, and I absolutely love the way the grills look.

Worst purchase in a long time
on November 4, 2023

Firmware has bricked the speakers. You have to use the app to set the speakers up but the app prevents the speakers from playing any audio.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
