Customer Reviews for Klipsch - Flexus CORE 200 3.1.2 Soundbar - Walnut

Sound is great, a major improvement over TV alone. Can and do use with a wired subwoofer which was a major reason for choosing the flex 200.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Sound - Optimal Settings w/ Sony 4K OLED TV
on March 31, 2025
Posted by: Jake Snowdog
from Denver Colorado
I purchased the Klipsch Flexus Core 200 soundbar to replace a Sony HT-S100F soundbar. It is connected to my Sony XBR-55A8G 4K OLED TV via its ARC HDMI out to the Klipsch eARC HDMI in. The TV audio came out of the new Klipsch soundbar sync'ed with the video right away (which is very important to me). I had to do some tweaking of the TV Audio settings AND the Klipsch soundbar settings to achieve the sound I wanted/needed. I wound up with two optimal mode settings - one for watching and listening to music videos or concerts, and - one for watching movies or TV shows.
1) For Music: I have the Sony TV audio output set to 'Music' with ClearAudio+ disabled.
I have the Klipsch set to 'Music' mode, with Dialog Off, and custom EQ set to attached pic1
2) For Movies: I have the Sony TV audio output set to 'Standard' with ClearAudio+ enabled.
I have the Klipsch set to 'Movies' mode, with Dialog on High, and custom EQ set to attached pic2

It should be noted that I initially set the Klipsch soundbar volume to be half or what my TV volume is - meaning when my TV volume is at 30 - the soundbar volume is at 15. It tracks perfect that way as I lower or raise TV volume. I achieved this by setting the volume of the sound bar first - with the TV off.
I am very happy with this Klipsch soundbar, it's a vast noticeable improvement over my very basic Sony HT-S100F sound bar. I've always been a big fan of Klipsch speakers (have them for my big sound system) and I've always been a fan of Onkyo (have an Integra/Onkyo receiver for my big sound system). So this was a perfect fit for me with both companies input combined in this soundbar. 80-90% of the time I'm watching TV with just the soundbar (not using my big sound system).
Lastly, I also bought this hoping to improve the dialog volume so that I can better understand what people are saying without having to use Closed Captioning (CC) or Subtitles and get stuck reading instead of focusing on the whole video screen. With the Dialog settings in the Klipsch FC200 - I can achieve that.

Very nice unit , by it self . But I love a lot of bass , added a sub with it . Great sound . I have a Bose 500 soundbar and Bose 500 bass module . The Bose doesn’t even come close to the sound of this unit !

Excellent balance

Connected to Mac and PC setup. I got the complete system: a Flexus 200, 2x100 subs and a set of the 100 surrounds. Excellent balance. Currently connected via Bluetooth (Mac) and Optical (PC). Something to consider - the USB-C doesn't seem to act as an input from a phone or computer. I read it's used as a connector for a "USB drive with MP3 songs" ... no clue what that actually is. If someone has an answer on this, and perhaps it's user error, haaalp me!

When this arrives the first thing you notice is the weight. This thing is solid. Very easy to setup and very intuitive. Initial WiFi hook up to a few minutes. Be patient. After initial WiFi connection it connects immediately every time and the connection stays connected. I bought this for a room 13’x25’. The sound easily fills the room and if you start pumping up the volume pretty much the rest of the house and I’m sure that the neighbors hear it as well. Sound quality is balanced and with the added Flexus Sub 100 the pictures on the walls throughout the house are vibrating on the walls. My music tastes go over pretty much any genre and they all sound fantastic. My wife kind of likes quiet but she appreciates the sound quality that this puts out and she asks me to play music and movies on the core. I don’t think that you will be disappointed if you take the dive.

Phenomenal sound!!! I only have the sound bar and I am very impressed. The bass is magical. I think all I need now is the surrounds and that should fill my needs.

Wired Sub woofer Issues, Flexus Core 200 Sound bar
on April 29, 2025
Posted by: Mister. Right
from Atlanta, GA
After 4 months of use, the wired Sub woofer started making noises like a fireworks show. I tried a brand new audio cable and even a different sub woofer with the same results.
Suspect the Onkyo Internal amplifier has bad capacitors.
Contacted Klipsch support and they have sent a new replacement soundbar in exchange for the broken one.
Thank you Klipsch
