    Awesome highs and mids. Clear sound seperation, GREAT for movies, pretty good for music
    For the price these speakers are amazing. They sound great right out of the box, super easy to set up and they arent too big and bulky. I work as a stage tech and monitor technician for a production company and have an associates in audio engineering so i have a decent ear, but am by no means an expert in audio. For my ears, the r51pms are great. The distinct seperation of sounds/instruments is REALLY good; very evident when watching movies. Ive seen Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban 100 times... ive never noticed that in the scene in the beginning where harry is discussing Sirius Blacks' whereabouts with arthur that percy weasily is magically pouring coffee in the background UNTIL watching that film using these speakers. I could clearly hear liquid pouring on the left side of the soundstage and then for the first time looked in that direction and saw that! It was kind of mind blowing lol For music id say they are ok. Im used to hearing music through a DB Technologies Vio 20 box line array rig flown in the air and through 8 massive Vio subs mixed well using a m32 in large venues at work; so im kind of a harsh judge, but at home these sound great when paired with the klipsch r120sw. If your main use of these will be to listen to music then i would DEFINITELY recommend a sub woofer... even if you cant afford a sub maybe opt for the r41pms instead and take that money you save and add it towards a sub. The r51pms dont have enough low end output for me personally. Even the r100sw wasnt enough, but when i got the 120sw it made everything come together. Im EXTREMELY satisfied with the audio quality with the 51pms and the 120sw its a match made in heaven. My ONLY complaint is the remote.... by itself its perfectly fine BUT for some reason i guess it operates on the same frequency as my tv remote (insignia qled 55 inch) and when i turn down the speakers IT REWINDS MY SHOWS/VIDEO!!!! SO FRUSTRATING so i have to press down on the tv remote to take it off the scroll bar of the content to like the subtitle setting or whatever it is for that specific application, THEN turn down the speakers, other wise the klipsch remote will rewind my content. Super super annoying.... i guess i have to get a universal remote or something idk. As far as the build qaulity... its klipsch. They are nice lol. I personally dont really care how a speaker looks if it sounds good, but even i gotta admit the copper drivers look nice. I keep the fabric mesh covers (which is nice and thick and uses magnets) on them so they are blacked out in the background when watching movies and i dont see them but they are pleasant to look at with or without the covers. The "wood" grain laminent is nice too. Gotta give klipsch a 5/5 on the build quality. All in all i would give them a 4 out of 5 (just bc of lack of bass frequency) but when paired with a sub they are an easy 5 out of 5. Definitely recommend! Especially for watching movies

      The media could not be loaded.
      I don’t normally write reviews on here but…..I’ve seen this brand on here for a long time and always just glanced over it because I’ve been a bose guy. Not saying that’s ever changing but these definitely give what Bose has to offer, a run for its money😳. Klipsch is definitely another brand I will be depending on for the highest of quality. I did not expect the clarity that these things deliver.

      I know iPhones now downplay loud audio when it’s recorded so you really can’t understand just how loud these are, but I know when I’m standing next to them with the volume 2 or 3 clicks on my phone before max…..I actually have to go turn the volume down out of discomfort…and this is coming from someone with diagnosed hearing loss. So whatever video you see on here, I promise you, they’re louder than you’re expecting/are being depicted on here.

      I wouldn’t say that there’s not enough bass in these speakers, by any means, there’s plenty lol but I did purchase one of klipsch subs within the first 24 hours of me having those speakers in my shed and I’m just waiting for that to get here in a week. If it’s anything close to the quality of these speakers, I’ll probably have to check my shed to see if it’s still level within a few weeks😂. From a Bose snob to you, I highly recommend.
    • Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2023
      Item Package Quantity: 1Verified Purchase
      Background:
      Originally I purchased a $30 soundbar for my gaming computer. Just something to hold me over until I could splurge on something better. It had high reviews and the only real complaint I had with it is the volume. Since it was powered by the USB port it was limited and my volume settings were 100% or off.

      I was researching speakers for gaming and these never came up, but a YouTuber video that rated some computer speakers had their top choice as Klipsch R-51M as his top choice, but they were not powered and needed an amp. The price of both those was the same as these, and still wouldn't get the blue-tooth support. After many more hours of research I couldn't find anything close to the quality for the price. The blue-tooth is a big bonus for me since I listen to my audio book while on the treadmill and I was using a battery powered mobile speaker for that.

      Connecting (Inputs):
      Hooking these up was simplicity itself. They support phono, optical digital, aux, and the all important USB. The 41's don't support optical digital according to manual, I got the R-51PM so I have to take their word for it. One thing I wasn't expecting was the remote, for the computer I can mute and control the volume from my keyboard so I didn't think it would be a benefit to me. The remote allows the switching between inputs as well, allowing me to switch over to blue-tooth and back to USB for computer. Otherwise I would need to press on the volume dial located on the back of the speaker, behind my monitor and against the wall every time I want to use the blue-tooth or switch back.

      Quick note, after hooking up these speakers I didn't get any audio even though my computer recognized them and set them as audio output. These speakers don't auto switch between inputs. The color of the LED you can slightly see through the removable mesh indicates which input speakers are currently on. The USB is white and soon as I switch it over beautiful sound filled the air.

      Volume:
      Just WOW! At first it was disappointingly low. After a little trial and error I found the volume control on my PC/Keyboard would only have the range up to what ever volume the speakers are set too. I like this, I set the speaker volume to just short of rattling the walls, less than their full volume. Then when I adjust the volume from my computer it will only reach up to the volume the speakers are set too. This should keep me from startling my neighbors awake. I actually find myself using the volume control on the computer/keyboard now, finding the sweet spot for each situation and mood.

      For immersion in games, volume and quality of sound is essential. Some cheaper speakers would probably have been adequate. There are some highly rated brands a step down and I'm not an audiophile, but having speakers that are more than what I need now means they'll give me that extra quality and sound while meeting or exceeding my future needs.

      Conclusion:
      For the price they are not the best solution for everyone, especially if you don't spend some time on the computer playing games and/or listening to music. If you can splurge for these, it will be an investment you can reap the rewards from for decades, unlike computers and even monitors which need regular upgrading to stay relevant, quality speakers will still be quality and usable for as long as you own them. I have no regrets getting them and glad I did splurge. They have really good sales if you can wait and are patient.

      Snagged these on sale and I have to say that for that money I don't think anything else will come close. Even at the original full price I think they're worth the money. I've had these on my wishlist for a long time now and I'm not disappointed.

      I will say first that the lack of any sort of crossover control is something that could be improved in a future version. I would be tempted to pay a little bit extra for that flexibility. I definitely like the strong bass at low volume. That's a really sweet feature.

      I've previously owned a Klipsch subwoofer, that used to clear off all the dust in the room anytime there was an explosion in a soundtrack, so I'm used to their quality which really helped with the purchase decision for me.

      That said, the first thing that I noticed when listening for the first time was the phenomenal bass response. Are you kidding me - it's like there's a subwoofer in the room. That's why I made the comment about an adjustable crossover.

      The bass isn't overpowering at all. It does take a little trial and error to find the right distance from the wall for the best bass, of course. I'd like to see a future version with equally good bass but front ported if possible. I realize that would require a larger cabinet but it would give the option to wall mount.

      I have them in my home office in a spare bedroom for an idea of room size.

      My last bookshelf size speakers were Polks powered by a high current receiver and they didn't have this much punch. I absolutely love the bass. This is an apartment so I'm afraid to really crank them up. I think I'd be in trouble pretty fast if I did.

      The rest of the sound is great too. I was afraid of getting listening fatigue from the horn tweeters but OMG. I would definitely not call these overbright. They're wonderful to listen to. For example stuff by Sleeping Pandora sounds really nicely mixed when I listen on these. It can be difficult to make it sound good on inexpensive systems. "Sorrow", by Pink Floyd is breathtaking because that bass solo at the beginning really shines with these.

      My other listening option is a pair of Byerdynamic studio headphones and these are every bit as enjoyable. I get goosebumps.

      I don't know if I believe in "break in" for speakers but as good as they sound initially it'll only get better.

      Bluetooth was super easy to connect out of the box. At first the tablet didn't find them from across the room but after bringing it a lot closer, doing the pairing, it was fine after that from anywhere that I would expect to be able to use Bluetooth. I like being able to basically use my tablet as a music system remote for queuing up music and stuff. I know it doesn't sound as good as wired but when I want higher quality I just plug it in to the headphone jack.

      I'm using the USB for sound in Windows and Linux and that was seamless to set up. The quality is phenomenal.

      I've been collecting vinyl from independent bands on Bandcamp and hopefully will be able to get a turntable soon, so the preamp was as much a selling point for me as the Bluetooth.

      I really appreciate all the connection options on these. It's a main reason why they were at the top of the list for powered speakers that I was considering.

      Highly recommend. 10/10

      5.0 out of 5 stars Redescubre tu música con los equipos Klipsch.
      Reviewed in Mexico on March 30, 2020

      Siempre he amado dedicar tiempo para escuchar todos los detalles incluidos en mi música favorita. Normalmente es una tarea difícil con audífonos o bocinas/parlantes estándar. Sin embargo, las bocinas Klipsch R-51 PM dejaron a un lado esta dificultad y me permitieron vivir plenamente mi música favorita. La sensación de su sonoridad es igual a la de estar en la primera fila de un concierto. La gama de tonos entregados por estas bocinas/parlantes resulta en un sonido limpio, brillante y cálido. Mientras las escucho, estas bocinas me han obligado a dejar lo que estaba haciendo en más de una ocasión para voltear a verlas y apreciar la gama de tonalidades y ricos detalles de su sonido; casi gritándome que escuche con atención.

      Decidí comprar estas bocinas/parlantes porque pienso comprar una tornamesa a corto plazo. El amplificador integrado, me ahorrará comprar elementos adicionales como amplificadores o recibidores sin dejar a un lado la calidad en el sonido.

      PRO's
      - Los tonos agudos y medios están excelentemente balanceados. Las bocinas/parlantes emiten un sonido potente, claro y con una alta cantidad de detalles.
      - Excelente desempeño con las voces, teclados y guitarras eléctricas
      - Soberbia reproducción de guitarras acústicas y percusiones.
      - Ideal para los géneros Rock, Pop, escuchar clases y conferencias, podcast, videos de YouTube y conciertos en vivo; aunque su amplio rango dinámico le permite llevarse bien con casi cualquier género musical.
      - Nula distorsión de tonos agudos, medios, graves altos y graves medios aún con un volumen alto.
      - La calidad del sonido recibido desde pantallas y equipos de video es excelente siempre y cuando se haga a través de la Optical Input y el cable incluido.

      ASPECTOS A CONSIDERAR / “CONTRAS”
      - La potencia del sonido es suficiente para hacer sentir que la música golpea al oyente de frente, haciendo que esto incomode a algunas personas. Es por ello que, debido a su potencia, no recomendaría colocarlas muy cerca del oyente, ya que obligaría a reducir el volumen y puede dar una confusa sensación de que el equipo no cumple con las especificaciones de potencia y calidad de sonido.
      - Los agudos o “bajos” son claramente perceptibles y detallados, permitiendo que la habitación en la que probé el equipo (20 m2) se sienta lleno de sonido vívido. Sin embargo, el grueso de la población adora los “bajos” y sienten que algo falta cuando estos no están potenciados. Por lo que prefieren sacrificar una rica gama de tonos y detalles propios de la música a cambio la “profundidad” que ofrecen bocinas construidas para potenciar los agudos. Si consideras que los “bajos” son importantes para disfrutar la experiencia de disfrutar de tu música favorita, entonces estas bocinas NO son para ti. Puedes encontrar reseñas en donde se sugiere invertir en un Subwoofer para llenar ese “vacío” que te hace sentir la claridad de sonido que trabaja este equipo. Sin embargo, la calidad de graves emitidos para ser un woofer de 5.25” es impresionante.
      - No recomendaría este equipo para aquellas personas cuyos géneros favoritos circulen alrededor de una dependencia de graves “profundos” como algunos sub-géneros de música electrónica. No obstante, he probado su desempeño con Trance, Hip hop, House, entre otros y vuelvo a sentir emoción al escuchar la nitidez de sus arreglos y las voces.

      MIS DIFERENCIAS CON OTRAS RESEÑAS
      - Algunas reseñas comentan que el control remoto no está a la altura del equipo, sin embargo, difiero en estas opiniones. Considero una verdadera ventaja que el control remoto tenga un botón para cada fuente de sonido. De esta forma, no tengo que estar presionando el mismo botón hasta encontrar la fuente de sonido que deseo emplear, cosa que suele suceder en la mayoría de las bocinas/parlantes. El único “Inconveniente” que veo es que demora un poco en pausar la música reproducida vía Bluetooth cuando se opera desde el control de las bocinas.
      - Realicé pruebas para confirmar la reseña en la que se quejan del problema de sincronización vía Bluetooth y hasta el momento no he encontrado fallas. El alcance máximo de conectividad sin saltos que encontré fue de poco más de 12 metros con algunas paredes intermedias.
      - No encontré esa estática propia de cualquier bocina que se escucha cuando no hay algún sonido reproduciéndose. Es la primera vez que veo un comportamiento en un equipo de sonido. Así, descarto la queja de un comprador en donde asegura que se escucha “estática” entre las diferentes fuentes de sonido.

      Si has llegado hasta aquí, agradezco mucho tu tiempo y tu atención.

      Estaba buscando unas bocinas (Activa/Pasiva) para escuchar música en vinilo y también, aprovechando la compra, para la tele. Conecté las Klipsch R-51PM a la tele con cable Óptico y el tocadiscos a través de Bluetooth. Así que pude quitar la barra de sonido que tenía antes, que funcionaba bien para la tele más no para el tocadiscos. Le doy 5 estrellas a estas bocinas, un peso importante pero no exagerado, diseño clásico, de buena calidad y ensamblaje sólido y robusto. La bocina activa tiene todo tipo de conexiones, RCA, AUX, USB Audio, OPT, SUB (Subwoofer) y Bluetooth. La calidad del sonido que viene de la tele es simplemente extraordinario, mientras el que viene del tocadiscos es más que aceptable. Esa pequeña diferencia se debe probablemente al hecho de que la tele está conectada con cable Óptico, mientras que el tocadiscos vía Bluetooth. De todos modos, son bocinas que recomiendo mucho por diseño, calidad, rendimiento y precio. Las mías se encuentran en un cuarto de unos 50 M2 y el sonido se difunde de manera eficaz en todo el ambiente. Estoy muy pero muy contento con mi compra.

      The speakers work well in a room 29 feet by 22 feet .The high end and the mid range are spectacular I also ordered a 12 inch subwoofer to complete the full spectrum of sound . Bluetooth works fine from a distance of 6 m from my laptop computer it can probably go further but I have not tested it out yet. All in all I am very happy with the purchase

      Reviewed in Canada on April 16, 2024

      I'm not an audiophile, but I am a sucker for good sound systems. These are the best sounding thing I've heard. I'm definitely a Klipsch fanboy now lol.
      Very clean highs. Super clear.
      Mids are maybe a little run into the highs, but again nothing is muddy.
      Bass definitely won't blow you away, but again is clean. I ran a couple months with these then got a Klipsch R-121SW sub and now the system kills. As stand alone speakers I would say the bass is a tad lacking, but that's from a guy that likes bass.

      Now a big thing that I didn't see anywhere before I bought em', was that you get a significant amount more bass if the device your playing music from output volume is at the top. Meaning my computers volume is always maxed and I adjust volume with their remote. Which I will say is quite annoying as these are my desktop speakers, so I have to use the remote instead of normal volume. And that leads me into the cons.

      Cons
      1#. Have to use remote for volume.
      2#. Always a noticeable hiss when they and on and aren't playing. But again, as desktop speakers I'm close to them in a quiet environment so I can hear it well. I wouldn't say it's subtle. If I knew they had a hiss before I bought them, I still would have.
      3#. They make every other sound system sound bad lol.
      4#. Probably not best bang for buck when it comes to the competition at this price.

      Pros
      1#. Very crisp.
      2#. Very well built. Heavy solid speakers.
      3#. Tons of inputs.
      4#. They look beautiful.

      Having said that, I would suggest buying Klipsch's newer powered bookshelves instead of these just cause there are updated ones. But if you wanted to save money, these are still great.
