Overall sound quality that is high above its price range ; Easy setup ; Unique look ; Dolby Digital decoding

Lack of input options (no digital coax or HDMI) ; Lack of multiple DSP modes, no DTS decoding ; Tiny, card-sized remote ; No independent subwoofer volume control on remote or front panel

Balanced, distortion-free sound; well integrated (and wireless) subwoofer; Bluetooth streaming

Dull design; limited socketry including zilch HDMI inputs; sizeable form could make installation awkward

The Klipsch R-10B offers an instant upgrade to your TV and movie watching with dynamic sonic performance. Music sounds better than you would expect for a sound bar. Subwoofer offers deep, deep bass without breaking a sweat. More midrange detail than...

If your phone doesn't support aptX, then Bluetooth can sound harsh. Overly miserly with only two physical inputs and no bass or treble controls. Not much of a looker with its plastic main speaker. No DTS support for its "3D Surround Mode

Although it's not as good a value as our favorite sound bars, the higher-end Klipsch R-10B offers excellent performance for both movies and music.

Both music and film are played with a high entertainment factor. Singing voices and dialogues are bigger and fuller than we are used to, and the subwoofer sounds good.

Without a display, the ease of use is mediocre. The harmonic range could have been more resolved.

Både musikk og film spilles med høy underholdningsfaktor. Sangstemmer og dialoger er større og fyldigere enn vi er vant til, og subwooferen slår bra fra seg

Uten display er brukervennligheten middelmådig. Overtoneområdet kunne vært mer oppløst

Totalt sett en meget underholdende lydplanke!

Ljudet

Anslutningsmöjligheter ; Inställningsmöjligheter

Både musik och film spelas med stort underhållningsvärde. Sångröster och dialoger är större och fylligare än vi är vana vid och subwoofern sparkar ifrån sig bra.

Utan display är användarvänligheten medelmåttig. Övertonregistret hade kunnat vara mer upplöst.

Bluetooth streaming ; Uitgebalanceerd geluid zonder vervorming ; Goed geïntegreerde en draadloze subwoofer

Forse afmetingen kan de plaatsing bemoeilijken ; Beperkte aansluitmogelijkheden (geen HDMI)

It doesn't get any easier to setup up a sound bar/subwoofer combination than this. Plug in the optical (or RCA plugs) from TV to sound bar, plug in AC power to sound bar and subwoofer, turn off tv sound, turn on soundbar and sub power and it's done....

Price is steep if not on sale. For serous "sound" people, the lack of connections or sound level indicator might be an issue. Surround sound is lame. Lack of sub volume on remote for a system of this price is crazy but doesn't need to be adjusted often...
