Sound tech is very mature.
Do not get hooked into the idea that only new is better.
You can still go back and pick up amps from the 70's and 80's which will blow away a lot of what is made today.
Macintosh amps would be just one example.
Also, it is important to recognize the THX cert for what it is.
It involves no tech or hardware. It literally means that the setup was reviewed and deemed to be in the specs of what is required for the cert.
Now...is it an indication that the equipment is better sounding? Sure.
You are not likely going to get a THX cert from something that is junk and sounds it.
But if I were Klipsch...and I am trying to cut costs on an old standard for decades....while adding in something like Bluetooth, I might cut something like the THX cert. They do have to pay for every box sold with the THX cert on it if it is labeled as THX. Could they have also tried to cut other corners and these no longer sound as good? Maybe..but the cost of retooling, etc makes it just as possible that they just cut the cert to use that money towards something which is more of a sales feature for desktop speakers...like Bluetooth. And they left the rest the same because it is a design that requires no work or cost from them. Keep in mind, there are not likely a lot of people demanding their 2.1 computer speakers are THX and if they are, they know these have a history of that.
Lastly, while audiophiles can teach a lot, it is also VERY important not to get sucked down their rabbit holes.
You do not need to get very far into audio before even incremental better sound can cost thousands. And while this is not universal, oftentimes audiophiles become very snobbish about something even like these PC desktop speakers. And while I am sure that their PC speakers are fantastic, you will find that it is not priced comparative to something like this..and possibly only a marginal improvement.
Not that a PC should not sound good...but maybe you spend 20K for a listening room and just spend reasonable amounts on PC speakers.
Asking because I always see 5.0 bluetooth, etc.
I am not familiar with all the bluetooth versions
THanks in advance
2.1 is a description of how many audio channels, not the Bluetooth version. 2 means stereo, the .1 means one subwoofer. Like how 5.1 is a basic surround sound + sub.
These are not the THX certified model. I almost picked one up at $50 but decided to stay with my wired THX certified version. I can hook that up to an amp as well, and it makes them sound like audiophile speakers
Was $50 last time, but at $59 still a good deal for a good pair of 2.1 speakers.
Annoying thing about these speakers is that they're always on though. There's no power switch on the control pod.
I have an older set of altec lansing 2.1 speakers and kinda same thing. Always on. But the volume control is getting worn out so I never dare touch it. I have a seperate volume control now for it but it's always on now

So you can turn off Bluetooth on these? I have avoided this speaker because I thought the Bluetooth stays on at all times. unless you pull the plug.
Yes and no. As long as you leave the power on it will stay have in BT or wired connection. If you turn the power off and back on they will default to BT rather than the last mode used. For me using a master slave power strip, when my computer turned off it turns off the speakers, and when turned back on it required pushing the mode button to change mode back to wired.

The BT on the original Promedia 2.1 was an absolute nightmare. Glad to see that they finally fixed it.
Are these still lower quality (ie: lighter) than the non BT version? I see that they are still missing THX certification.
These are not the THX certified model. I almost picked one up at $50 but decided to stay with my wired THX certified version. I can hook that up to an amp as well, and it makes them sound like audiophile speakers
I have both. The wired thx version sounds noticeably louder and clearer. At $50 these are worth every cent though.
This is a really good deal if they sound anything close to the 10-15 year old model with thx certification.
The real question though…this or the hk onyx 4 that sells for $100 ? Mine is being delivered tomorrow, and ultimately I don't need both.
All things considered, if this is a better sounding system, is it also worth the hassle of returning the hk and waiting for this?
Im installing it into a semi truck as a multipurpose speaker for listening to music while driving and at night it would double as television speakers.
The monitor I ordered doesn't have internal speakers so I'm going to need to be able to have something external.
I have airpod pros and the new Bose quiet comfort (thanks Verizon for screwing up the price and Best Buyfor honoring the price match)
Im actually impressed with the switching using two devices with the Bose but I don't know how many hours a day I could stand to wear in ear headphones.
Legally I'm not supposed to drive with both earphones in either and I'm going to want to be able to control either device with my phone for ease of pausing playback.
Sorry to get off track but any advice is appreciated

So what BT codecs / modes do these even support?
Bluetooth 5.2 low energy has new codecs supporting conferencing and stuff and low power drain for
battery powered tablets, phones, etc. Then there are several intermediate quality / bit rate codecs,
and a couple high-fi-ish marginal ones...
Idle power consumption when just sitting there not playing but turned on with the volume control at whatever normal setting it would be?
