    How are they compare with Sonos?

    • spackbace on 11/02/2016 - 13:47

      Not sure if anyone compares the 2, but check reviews on Amazon

      • EightImmortals on 11/02/2016 - 15:11

        A few complaints on there about Klipsch not honouring the warranty?

        Dammit, pulled the trigger anyway after reading it does have a 3.5mm input. Make a nice replacement for my 20 year old Cambridge soundworks I use in the bedroom. :)

  • jabroni on 11/02/2016 - 14:01

    well for $200ish the Sonos - Play 1 only has a mid woofer not a sub woofer so id imagine bass heavy music would not sound as good

  • aimon on 11/02/2016 - 14:18

    D cell batteries? Screw that. Needs to be rechargeable.

    • superforever on 11/02/2016 - 14:40

      What …. how come nowadays …

      I was reading the review on the HN website and it looks like it has a power adapter to use at home…its only when you need to make it into a 'portable' speaker to take away from any power sockets that you'll need the D-cell in which case you can use your stash of AA eneloops in D-cell adapters on these and they're technically then 'rechargeables' :)

      Lightweight, compact and with a 16 hour battery life (internal Lithium Ion rechargeable battery), the Klipsch KMC 1 Bluetooth Portable Speaker is the ultimate portable music speaker.

      Taken from the Harvey Norman website.

        Yeah, that is if you're looking at the KMC 1 (this is the KMC 3).

        'The KMC 3 takes 8 "D" cell batteries for portable play (batteries not included).'

    +1 for the post - Amazing price for this speaker.

    For people confused to buy or not to… here's some insight.

    PROS:
    -Klipsch KMC3 are bass heavy speakers with strong mids and not so good highs but certainly decent highs.
    -AptX codec (Yay!) claimed superior quality
    -Easily fills the complete room(or may be even home depends on size) with music.
    -KMC-3 uses quality Danish transducers & the woofer is from Peerless. (other words, they are very good components)
    -Comes with remote

    CONS
    -As others pointed out the problem is portability. It works on battery but needs 8pcs of D batteries. So consider this almost non-portable and use it with wired AC mains only.
    -At times Air velocity through the bass ports is high, hence results in whistling. ( doesn't effect me as much, coz I use this in my bedroom and dont crank up to full)

    Real competition to this is:
    -AIWA exos 9 (not available in Australia) order from Amazon and you are looking at approx 500.
    -JBL Xtreme but they are also close to $300
    -Bose as you know are also $300-$350+

    So my suggestion, look towards these objectively.
    You are looking at a speaker which is atleast 2-3 times in quality compared to UE Booms etc. at just 50-60% of their price but not really portable.
    These were $300-$350 speakers. Still are $250-$300.
    But at $145 delivered, NOTHING absolutely NOTHING will come close to it even with its cons..

    • congo on 11/02/2016 - 21:54

      Have you compare this to Bose Mini 2 (around $200)?
      Thanks.

      • Jabberwocky on 11/02/2016 - 22:39

        These are 2 speakers in different category all together.
        You can / should compare the sound quality of KMC3 to Bose Soundtouch 20 or 30 minus the wifi capability.

        Sound mini is comparable to KMC1

        • congo on 11/02/2016 - 22:46

          So KMC3 is better than the Mini 2?

        • Jabberwocky on 11/02/2016 - 22:47

          @congngo: absolutely …2 different leagues !

        • congo on 11/02/2016 - 22:48

          @anuryry: Cool. Coz I got the Mini 2 from MS for $200. Wasn't sure if this would be worth it, if it only sounds a little better.
          But sounds like you are saying that it sounds much better.

        • Jabberwocky on 11/02/2016 - 22:53

          @congngo: Dude… its a 130W system. Its not in the league of soundlink mini or even soundlink III.
          Bose Soundtouch 20 or 30 compares in terms of sound quality to KMC3.

        • congo on 11/02/2016 - 23:06

          @anuryry: OK Thanks.
          So I got ripped off my my Bose purchased :(

          -1

          @congngo: Like all Bose purchases, so don't feel particularly bad.

          @Mic Cullen: I have been eyeing some of the Bose CineMate, but I think I will pass.

        • jdf on 12/02/2016 - 10:25

          @anuryry: How do vocals sounds on this speaker at half volume? Are they clean and clear?

        • Jabberwocky on 12/02/2016 - 14:01
          +1

          @jdf: Highs are not as good as you would expect as these are low-end heavy speakers. Mids are decent.

          Again as i mentioned above, look at it objectively and not that this has xyz cons compared to a speaker that is $350+
          Look at it as a $145 speaker, which is heaps better than UE Booms, Bose Soundlink minis etc.
          Compare it to anything until $300, it will outshine.

          It gets serious competition from speakers which are $300-$350+

        • jdf on 12/02/2016 - 14:38

          @anuryry: thank you

        • mooboy on 12/02/2016 - 15:01

          @congngo:
          (Regarding getting ripped of for Soundlink Minis) Not if you value portability. As anuryry said, no point comparing.

        • jdf on 22/02/2016 - 09:38

          @anuryry: anuryry, purchased this speaker because of your review as I was after a bluetooth speaker and you are so spot on with this comment of yours "But at $145 delivered, NOTHING absolutely NOTHING will come close to it even with its cons.."

          Thank you for taking the time out to chime in with your review, it is a beautiful speaker & at that price……an absolute steal of a bargain.

        • Jabberwocky on 22/02/2016 - 12:47

          @jdf: Glad i could be of help :)

  • slingray on 11/02/2016 - 16:15

    Sonos cannot comepte with Klipsch on sound quality. Period.

    Something else I didn't know I needed is now on it's way to me!

  • UNO on 11/02/2016 - 19:59

    How would this compare with a sound bar if I hooked it up to the TV?

    • spackbace on 11/02/2016 - 20:05

      This gives 2CH audio through 3.5mm. Any half decent sound bar should be 2.1 through hdmi/optical.

      Sound bar would be better

    Klipsch KMC 3 SERIOUS PROBLEM - whistling ports

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taGklBMYd0A

    is there a way to fix the problem?

    There is also very nice option Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 2 for $200 from Costco.

    The Klipsch KMC 3 is not manufactured anymore (Discontinued by Manufacturer) a new model will be coming out very soon.

    Also you can use this battery pack, you would need to set to 19v:

    Thanks OP purchased,
    Does anyone know whether this item can be deliver to an Aus post parcel locker? many thanks

  • slow on 12/02/2016 - 11:43

    Ordered last night and shipped at 9am today…impressed so far

      I ordered at 3am, and had a shipping notification by 8am. VERY nice.

      Also, I DO have a reason for buying it (unlike most in this thread, it seems) - it's going on the wall in the kitchen. Perfect for listening to podcasts, music, video, etc. off the phone while working in there.

    Has anyone found that the range of the remote control is really short? Like 30cm short?

    • EightImmortals on 22/02/2016 - 16:56

      Yeah the remote is a bit dodgy for sure but not that big of a deal for me personally.

  • EightImmortals on 22/02/2016 - 16:27

    Mine turned up today, pretty happy so far.
