   I’ll start by saying that before I got the Cinema 600, I had an older Klipsch RSB-11, a Sony soundbar (can’t remember what model) and an actual Home Theater system with an audio receiver (an older RCA and then a newer Pioneer one). Compared to those system, the Cinema 600 is miles ahead of the other soundbars but below the home theater system. In terms of power the Cinema 600 just can’t compete with an actual audio receiver but it’s pretty close. I got tired of messing with wires, placing speakers in different places and having to deal with so many parts and just wanted to simplify my entertainment equipment. If you’re an audiophile, then you obviously need to go with an actual audio receiver system. But for the rest of us, this soundbar is of the best you can get for the money. You can actually hear and feel the floor facing sub-woofer and the sound from the bar itself is loud and crisp. Both music and movies sound amazing with this soundbar and the simple setup is just icing on the cake. If you’re looking for a very good soundbar with that nice Klipsch sound, you can’t go wrong with the Cinema 600. Also, don’t bother with the Klipsch connect app. It’s absolutely garbage and won’t actually help you with the setup or sound at all.

   You can’t ask for better sound for the price. My blue tooth sub is about 20ft from the unit under the tv

   First off, if you try to use e-arc hdmi and can’t get it to work, check your cable. I had an old HDMI cable that didn’t support ARC, swapping the cable made it work immediately.The sound is really really bright. If you have a really soft room this will absolutely overcome the deadness of the room. However if you have a room with a lot of hard surfaces you made need to add some soft items to make it a little less “sharp”.The sounds is so crisp it’s unbelievable. I’m hearing things in tracks that I’ve never heard or noticed before. The horns are truly amazing at reproducing the highs and the sub @ 10”s effortless produces the lows. The crossover seems set perfect as I cant Distinguish any rollover.This is simple, incredibly well built, and truly worth the money.

   Pros:Great sound for a 300 dollar price point.Quality product and well built.Super easy to assemble, plug in and play.Vocals are crisp and clear, no more straining my ears to distinguish subtle dialogue.Cons:None! For this price point this is a fantastic deal. There’s definitely better systems out there but nowhere near this price.If you’re in the market for an upgrade to your viewing experience and want to spend less than 700, then these are for you. Best 300 I’ve spent in a long time.

   I picked this soundbar up for the current price of $299 and it is a steal. The bass is excellent and the soundbar with a dedicated center channel sounds awesome for both TV and Movies. I tested the bluetooth and it works as expected and music sounds great. I have done plenty of research on soundbars trying to decide between atmos or a 5.1 system. I decided to go with better sound quality instead of picking up a atmos soundbar with the limited atmos content that is currently out. I will add the surrounds soon to complete the 5.1 setup.Only complaint is the remote is somehow changing items on my Vizio M8 TV. So I have to change settings before watching anything to prevent it from changing the source or going in the TV menu. To get around this I used the manual to program my TV remote to also change the volume of the soundbar.Again to sum it up, great buy and I doubt any soundbar on the market at 299 will even come close to a 10 inch sub and 45 inch soundbar with 3.1 and potential to expand to 5.1.

   This is the only sound system I have experienced that can compete with Bose. In fact it might be better than Bose. Its a complete steal for $299 for me. Amazing sound, thundering bass and excellent resolution. The perfectly balanced sound for your TV. You cannot go wrong with this product.

   I bought this cinema 600 back in June and added the surround speakers a couple of months later. It’s a quality soundbar. The sub is in a wooden cabinet (10″) and has more than enough bass. Dialogue feature on the remote works really well. However, this review is really about customer service. About 6 months in, last Sunday, the bar went dead on me. Visions of horror stories of dealing with support, having to pay to have it shipped back, wait for weeks to have it repaired, and then sent back to me. Boy, did I not look forward to Monday morning. Went to Amazon, and found the support site for Klipsch, downloaded my invoice, so I could prove I bought it from Amazon, and made the call. Twenty minutes later, still on hold so i decided to try the chat feature, which they suggested from the start. A few minutes later, Brian took the chat, and I described what happened. He sent me an email so that I could send my invoice to him and told me he would start the warranty process. I received 3 emails from him that day, first to say he received my invoice, second to say that he had submitted my claim, and third to tell me that they would be sending me out a new sound bar , instructions included to reconnect my sub, and to just dispose of the damaged soundbar. Thursday evening a new soundbar was waiting for me at the front door. Did have a bit of trouble reconnecting the sub, but after trying again and again for about twenty minutes, it did connect. So by Thursday evening, everything was back up and running. Now that’s about as painless as you can get, so I have to give Klipsch 5 stars for their customer service and for standing behind their product. Cheers to Brian and Klipsch.

   I had been looking for a soundbar for the tv in my office for a couple of months. I use it mostly for breaks during the day and playing some ps4 with my friends. I had thought about getting a less expensive atmos bar, but even those are around $500. I saw Andrew Robinson review this on YouTube, and I added it to my Amazon wish list. The next day it went on sale for $300, and I pulled the trigger. I’m not disappointed in the least bit! This soundbar is a TREMENDOUS value, even at $500.This is not going to compete with a traditional home theatre setup. You’re not going to get the stereo separation and soundstage that you would with a 3.1 loud speaker setup. You’re just not. BUT, this soundbar comes very close! The dialogue on tv content is fantastic. The mids and highs don’t get muddled, and the subwoofer is amazing. I suggest not turning the subwoofer up all the way if you’re on a second floor or on an elevated foundation. I have a 3500 sq ft house and it shook it during a loud scene.Music playback is good, and it is good enough for 99% of people. Like I said above regarding the separation and soundstage, but music still sounds fantastic. The Andrew Robinson review got it right: if you’re primarily using this for a tv, and you want to ALSO use it for music, you’ll be hard pressed to find a better option at this price point. If your primary use case is music, something like the Klipsch The Fives are probably a better option.

   The Klipsch Cinema 600 compares favorably to my significantly larger, pricier Definitive Technology soundbar + sub setup. Def Tech has developed a reputation for its cutting edge technology and audiophile credentials, but there is simply no comparison here. The Klipsch has a cleaner sound, more flexibility, and power to spare.Dialogue is far clearer, the virtual surround effect is much more convincing, and the quality and impact of the sound overall is a notable step up. There is no discernible distortion, even at unsociable volumes, and the bass is absurdly powerful, though controllable and surprisingly taut. You can increase the center channel volume and boost dialogue without a significant increase in effects volume. Precise control of the subwoofer is also available, and a switch to night mode eliminates almost everything from the subwoofer. The Def Tech claims to offer all of those things, but the effect is more like a token effort, and the sound quality, though good, is no match for the Klipsch. As for overall power, I can’t imagine using more than a fraction of what this soundbar can produce.I have enjoyed many years of excellent sound from integrated amplifiers and high quality floorstanding speakers, and this soundbar system gets closer to that standard than I ever expected, for any price. Highly recommended.
