Klipsch Pro Media 2.1 THX Certified Speakers

This is my first Klipsch set of speakers and I am very pleased with the quality. It is capable of handling very loud volumes with no distortion and just, well its a very solid set of speakers. The satellite speakers are alot LARGER than anticipated; looks alot smaller in the pictures... but hey, I'm not complaining! The only minor setback is that when my handphone rings, it seems to trigger a little disturbance to the speakers, making it ring a little tune of its own. It's just a little annoying but apart from that, I'm incredibly satisfied!

just bought the system and i am more than happy. it gives ultra clear bass and amazing sound quality. they wont make the floor shake but will definately give you an elecctrifying sensation. only negative point probably would be the size but the funky speakers make you overlook that. completely worth it.

Mids and his are clear and sharp, basses are a bit blunt and 'rumbly', but in overall these speakers sound great when properly tuned, especially while played lauder. Would give them 5, if only for the annoying hum from the woofer that I couldn't get rid of, as much as I tried. It is mostly hidden by the sound of the PC fans, but I have to unplug speakers when I want silence (like, to sleep). If I knew of this problem before, I would have most definitely bought some other ones.

arrived faulty

I received the item. Unfortunately, the box is opened and resealed. The subwoofer has two scratches on the bottom and looks like someone tried to rub them out resulting in a bigger mess. On the top, it's the same. One scratch only. The standoff female bolt came out with the right speaker cable screw. That's my second order, as the first one did not work. I feel very disappointed.

This is a decent 2.1 speaker set. The bass is possibly a bit rumbly as another review said but it is minor and you can adjust the bass on the excellent control unit, where you can also plug in your PC, an MP3 player/etc (I use it for my Xbox's audio) and headphones, all at once. My biggest complaint is that at very low volumes, such as when listening late at night without headphones, only the left speaker channel works and I don't get stereo sound. This occurs in about the bottom 20% of volumes which few people will actually use but as I use them in a small room above my parents' bedroom, I need low volume at 2am! If you don't care about very low volumes (or you use headphones as I should), these will supply you with excellent stereo sound in movies, games and when listening to music. The bass isn't perfect but well in line with the price and only the low volume channel problem is something I think is a real issue.

This product should not have been sold on Amazon.co.uk without it being clear that it is 120v device. I am unable to use it without a large, energy-burning transformer which is as heavy as the sub-woofer. I have had a heck of a job trying to return this back to the USA.

It is made for the American market which runs on 120Vac @ 60Hz whereas we in the UK use 240Vac @ 50Hz so were I to plug it in there would have been a bang. Lesson: Don't sell equipment with the wrong voltage to the UK market.

Excelente sonido lo recomiendo

Todo bién, todo dentro de lo esperado Gracias

The Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 sound overall far better than Logitech ANYTHING, Harman Kardon computer speakers (new or old), and way above and beyond iPod earbuds (for reference). This is definitely one of the best sounding sets of computer speakers I have listened to. I have tried using high end audio systems as outputs for my desktop, but the downsides of that is the input is so sensitive it picks up electrical interference. Nice features: -These Klipsch speakers handle the interference very well, I was only able to get a low pitch hum/hiss when it was above 75% volume ( which is just about enough to blow your eardrums out when playing music). -Bass knob REALLY controls bass. You can go from a complete 0% (which is a rarity) to seemingly infinite bass. I found that around 20% is a good leveled bass for my music, but if you want to rave throughout your house you can still turn it up. -The fidelity is through the roof for this price range (these days). This is far above the cheapskate speakers market, Klipsch really put some effort into a good stereo at an affordable price. If there was anything to complain about, it'd be that the subwoofer is easy to set too prominent and it is a detriment to the wonderful speakers in this unit. Thinks to consider before purchasing: -These speakers are almost TOO sensitive. I use mine with the volume knob around 30%, but I had to turn Windows volume down to 20% in order to do it! (this is a real good thing though, since it means the speakers are pretty efficient) -One initial complaint I had was the lack of a power switch, but in reality it is to make the unit sound better by keeping the amplifier from getting cold. If you really need to turn it off that bad, put it on it's own power strip. -The speakers sound MUCH better if they have 1-2 feet of space behind them. -Also, when placed on your desk, they seem to sound better (read: more even sound) when pointed around your body, rather than directly at you. However, this caused the sound to become too stereophonic (like headphones), so I used a Stereophonic-to-binaural DSP for my music to blend it a bit before it comes out of the speakers. No more listening fatigue! Obviously, this problem is nonexistent if you move your speakers further away, because you can let the sound muddle together more naturally. Things I am NOT a fan of: -The included grips DO NOT stick very well onto the metal stands. In fact, I am having trouble with the replacement set as well. There is a strong tendency for the grips to slowly slide off over a period of a few weeks. I wish the coating on the stand was not as textured on the bottom as it is on the top. -The dust covers muddy the sound a bit too much. I leave them off almost all the time now, because they kill too much of the high frequencies. Thankfully, they are easily removed and replaced (toolless). -The green LED is a bit on the bright side, it won't light up your wall but it hurts to look at when its dark. I point the speaker away from me when I go to sleep. I would have appreciated an LED that is flush against the surface so it is not as bright from any direction. -These speakers made me realize how much of my music is not high quality. On my old Logitech speakers, you couldn't tell the difference, but with these listening to low quality music will tire your ears out quickly, while listening to great music will give you an eargasm (unless you've heard better, but you're probably not buying these if you're a true audiophile, or are you?)

Estou IMPRESSIONADO com a qualidade do Klipsch Promedia 2.1 THX! As caixas tocam muito, com a característica assinatura sônica da Klipsch de realçar as altas frequências/alta sensibilidade. Esse Kit está no mercado há muito tempo (antes também tinha a versão 5.1), e brigava com o Creative Megaworks 550 THX, o Logitech Z-5500 THX e outros top de linha. Destaque para o Klipsch que tem Tweeter dedicado, ao contrário dos kits da Logitech (até os mais caros). Acredito que não tem nenhuma opção no mercado brasileiro que chega perto da qualidade desse kit da Klipsch (considerando o preço). Simplesmente incrível. Tenho as Edifier 1280DB, e gostei mais do Promedia 2.1 para usar no PC (nearfield). As caixas são bonitas e ocupam pouco espaço na mesa (ao contrário da 1280 DB/tamanho), e o Sub faz toda a diferença. Embora seja pequeno e use um falante de 6.5, o Sub é bem musical e bate forte em jogos e filmes. O Crossover está muito bem regulado com as caixas frontais. Tenho um Home Theater com 2 Subs (Klipsch RP 1400SW e o Polk HTS-12) e estou curtindo muito o Sub do Promedia. O Kit é bem sensível e tem potência de sobra, deve funcionar bem com qualquer aparelho que tenha saída P2. Aqui uso uma SoundBlaster AE-7 e não passo de 20% no botão de volume da caixa. Melhor compra Custo X Benefício que já fiz aqui na Amazon! Não tem botão de liga/desliga, voltagem 110V. Edifier, Logitech e derivados que se cuidem! High Five pra você que pegou esse kit aqui na Amazon por esse preço camarada (+- 400,00), e bem vindo ao mundo do aúdio de qualidade. =) EDITADO EM 18/11/2024 - Gostei tanto do Promedia que comprei outro kit e liguei em 4.2 no PC, em Surround, mantendo o timbre. Para uso no PC a caixa central não faz falta. Meu plano era fazer essa ligação com 2 kits 1280DB e o Sub T5 V2, mas o preço de 02 kits Promedia ficam mais em conta que 01 par de 1280DB. Aqui uso uma Soundblaster AE7 mas qualquer placa de som onboard da Realtek permite fazer essa ligação em Surround, basta ligar um par de caixas no canal FRONT (conector verde) e outro par no canal REAR (conector preto) e configurar a placa para 4.0 (já que o KIT controla o sub/crossover/bass redirection). Em jogos fica muito TOPPER com o som surround. Já tive o Megawork 550 THX e o Logitech Z-5500, mas o Promedia é consideravelmente melhor, possivelmente pela presença do Tweeter. Os cabos são longos e facilitam a ligação em Surround, ainda mais com o módulo de volume que é destacável. Consegui deixar o controle de volume de ambos os kits ao alcance. OBS- O segundo que comprei tem diferença no Sub. É mais pesado, e as etiquetas e os parafusos traseiros estão em posições diferentes, indicando que usam uma placa de amplificação distinta. O mais pesado esquenta mais, porém não observei diferença na qualidade do aúdio ou potência. Muito satisfeito com a compra.

Excellents hauts parleurs pour ordinateur et aussi pour servir de système cinéma maison 2,0. Je ne suis pas un Samer mais vu le rendement sonore lors de l'écoute de la musique (Jazz, blues et même classique), je pense que les gamers seront pleinement satisfaits avec ce produit. J'aime aussi beaucoup leurs rendement lors du visionnement de filmes. Attention, le subwoofer est puissant, il est capable de vous faire vibrer.
