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.
Got them for $50 in July. Totally agree. They are good even at this price.

2.1 Bluetooth ????


Does this make a huge difference?

Asking because I always see 5.0 bluetooth, etc.
I am not familiar with all the bluetooth versions


THanks in advance

If I understand your question...
In the 2.1....... 2 refers to the 2 speakers and 1 refers to the 1 subwoofer.
That is the standard way speakers are listed.

5.1 speakers... Right and Left front speakers.....Right and Left rear speakers...plus a center speaker = 5
And the subwoofer is 1

Bluetooth has different generations of advancement from the early days of 1....up to 5 now.

5th gen Bluetooth is awesome...but I would not be too upset if these are 4th gen. You can google the differences that each gen brought.
Truthfully though, it would be hard for any set of these to fully utilize and need the 5th gen and the benefits.

They all buzz. Wouldn't pay $.01.
Bought the regular version from Costco and quickly returned after. They emit a white noise whine when you have nothing playing.

Quote from schmidd :
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.
Exact same setup and same with pushing the mode button in each time after powering it on to go to the wired setup which is somewhat annoying but works fine.

Quote from XxAuReaLxX :
Someone commented that there have been 4 iterations of this. (Same person mentioned these were garbage). Weren't some of the ones in recent times THX certified? These don't seem to while adding Bluetooth. I've had the ones from back in the day and they've had the best price to performance though the tech is now "super old".

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.

They're the same drivers as the non-Bluetooth version. THX certification costs a lot of money, so they opted against it to save on cost. They sound identical. The only difference between the iterations is the build quality. They're not as well built as the ones from 20 years ago. That's generally the case for most things, though.

What about using a smart plug with Alexa or other voice controlled assistant?
This is exactly what I did. The smart plug adds an on/off switch and I can ask Alexa to turn on/off "the office speakers" (my Wemo label). These sound fantastic for the price.

2.1 is the speaker configuration and isn't referring to Bluetooth. The number before the first period refers to the quantity of surround speakers and the number following the first period is subwoofer quantity, and if there is a second period the number following that is the quantity of overhead speakers (for example 7.1.2 is 7 surrounds, one sub, and two overhead speakers).

I have the previous version of this model (speakers looks different) that I used sparingly for 2 years. Last week the satellites stopped working, and the only sound I can get is from the sub, which sounds garbled and has a lot of static.

Not sure if this is fixable, or if I should get these new ones for $59.

This is a terribly designed speaker. People have already mentioned some of the design problems this speaker has:

1) no on/off switch
2) bluetooth connection can be hijacked by anyone
3) this speaker picks up radio signals! yes, you can actually hear the radio come on this poorly engineered speaker.

$50 seems about the true value for this piece of cr&p.

If you have never heard these before, you will be shocked at how good they sound and how loud they are, especially for $59 shipped.
Yes, we use them for outside theatre. They are both loud and clear. I do, however, think the non Bluetooth version that is THX enhanced sounds better. Still, for $59. You can fill a pretty large room with sound.

Quote from kenoctech :
If you connect it to an outlet switch, do the speakers pop when you cut the power?
I have mine connected to a Kasa Wireless Smart Plug, and turn them off via Amazon Echo. No popping that I have noticed. Old speakers on this same setup did pop.

BTW...The speakers sound fantastic.
