"This thing absolutely rocks! I've been an audio enthusiast my whole life. When it comes to my living room entertainment system I need a simple setup that doesn't compromise, and boy does this deliver!The sound is incredible. Powerful, yet clean. A really nice soundstage, spacial immersion that is so much more impressive than I could have ever expected (even without the wireless rear speakers, which I'm very excited to add at some point).It performs equally well for music and movies/tv. I love to use this for music while I'm cooking using Spotify on my phone over Bluetooth. Vocals are clear, but not overpowering, and the music just sounds crystal clear. Bass is powerful but not overwhelming. I've got it paired with a Flexus 100 sub, which is a nice pair. The Flexus 200 sub would have been more powerful, but then my wife would have probably complained about it being too much.One of my favorite things about this for watching TV and movies is the Dialog mode, which has 3 levels (and off). So many movies and shows have the dialogue way too low, where you have to turn the volume up too high just to hear what they're saying, and this 3-level Dialog Mode completely fixes that. I also really like the Night mode. This doesn't just lower the volume, it tapers off the bass and the overall dynamic range just enough to quiet the loud parts enough not to wake up others who are sleeping, while not compromising the audio. That's really important for me because there is a bedroom on the other side of the wall where the TV and sound bar are set up.I really love this thing! I would so highly recommend it to anyone who wants great sound with a simple setup."

Just when I thought all soundbars sounded like, well, soundbars, along came Klipsch. Old soundbar just wasn't hacking it any more, so decided to replace it. After much research, decided on the Klipsch Flexus CORE 300. WOW! This thing actually works!! As advertised!! Cannot say enough about how well this soundbar functions. What a vast improvement over previous unit. Granted, it could use a little work on the bass response, as well as the app one should download for settings and such. This being in addition to the included remote, which is very handy. If I had to rate the app, it would fail miserably! Needs help big time! Installation and setup were a breeze, in spite of app. Dirac Live is outstanding! Room calibration easiest I've experienced. Build quality is very solid, as well as connection options. Really like the readout display on front of unit. Sound is very clear and natural. That being said, plan to add a subwoofer in the near future. Needs a little more punch in the low end. Still, as a standalone unit, performance is excellent. Thanks, Klipsch! Well done.hollywood
I wanted to get 2 soundbars to replace a 5.1 system in my family room…
I wanted to get 2 soundbars to replace a 5.1 system in my family room and a 3.1 my home office. I was able to afford what was presented some of the best out there. Every product get some bad reviews so I did my best to pick the right product. I thought the Sennheiser Ambeo Max got OK reviews, but nothing negative about the sound. The product that shipped from the Amazon 3rd party seller was delivered used in a beat up box, poorly repacked, and obviously returned by the previous purchaser as defective. I returned it.For my larger family room I ordered the Nakamechi Dragon. A full system with 2 subs and 2 rears. Movies were impressive, but music lacked a full low end and male vocals did not sound good. I returned it. If it meets your needs for movie sound, the product quality and customer service are the best I've ever come across!At this point I still wanted 2 soundbars, but this is starting to be a hassle. Next I ordered the KEF XIO. It was also a quality product but I think it was defective. The low end and dialogue sounded great, especially with my Klipsch 10 inch entry level sub. The problem was that on action scenes the bullets firing, shell casings dropping, car crash impact, and glass breaking sound did not come across. This is otherwise a nice soundbar. I liked that you can set the start volume for each input. The app was a mess, but it worked.I then ordered this Klispch Core 300. At well less then half the price, it's build quality is as good as the others if not better. I only tried it with my low end Klispch sub, but WOW!!! Without tuning with Dirac, it blows those others away. I put on Die Hard 5 to be sure it wasn't me or my content that made the others sound bad. It wasn't. The action scenes sounded as expected with lots of audio excitement. Either the KEF was partially bad or whatever the reason it was missing those sounds, but I immediately put in a return request and ordered a second Core 300.Music is OK and acceptable for low and medium levels, and actually better then those 2 others (I didn't have a chance to listen to the Sennheiser as it was defective when delivered), but the Core 300 sounded better then the other 2 I did try for music. Although "acceptable", it is not a replacement for a proper stereo for a great listening experience. I was also put off by the 3 user agreements to use the apps. They were EXTREMELY lengthily. There is no reason to make them so long unless they are trying to sneak some verbiage in. As this is a really nice soundbar, I agreed, but was not happy about that part.I did notice that some of the movie action sounds did not seem to kick in until the volume was past 1/3rd. I hope Klipsch reads this and adjusts the linearity. Also, I like that it allows you to use any powered sub. Bottom line, even at less the half the price of the best soundbars I tried, this not only beats them out, but I actually like it.:)red carr

Fantastic sound bar. Great full theater sound, especially if you add the rear atmos speakers and tune with Dirac live. Plus you can add any wired sub you choose. Amazing sound, better than Sonos ultimate setup with era 300’s as surrounds and 2 sub 4’s. Better than Sony Bravia Quad. I’ve owned all of them.maxy d

Best soundbar I’ve ever heard, coming from audio engine A5+ bookshelf speakers on my ps5/tv setup. Wanted some more detailed 2025 audio. Researched this thing before it was even released. It doesn’t disappoint. Mine is hooked up wired into my Klipsch SPL-120 Reference Premier 12” subi buy stuff

This sound bar is amazing. Huge base out of a bar without a subwoofer. Set up fast. The app is pretty good too. UPDATE: I liked it so much I bought a second one for another room. This thing jams.fenster209
