CEO of low production videos! Shaky camera work, inconsistent sound levels, and lighting that changes with every scene! Get on my level!!

Ha! At least your content is top notch, Sean!
Dude, you're embarrassing us infront of the normies!
Zero Fidelity Give yourself a little more credit! Your rank a lot higher in this game than I think you realize.
hey! have you seen the new heco ambient speakers ?
i'd love a video from you 😉
Great review. The little sound clip at the end was pretty cool, and I could still see how a lot of people could dig this thing. Thanks, Sean.
I really appreciated you breaking rank and evaluating this kind of system. I found that this was a good choice for an adjoining bar & sitting space. Warm and good bass indeed and solid feel with style. Thank you.
Well man, I have spent my day trying to decide on a portable bluetooth speaker for work and your reviews clinched it for me. Much appreciated
Thank you for this great review Sean, loved that song at the end of the video !
Sean!.. lol, Good morning. I just wanted to wish you a Happy Easter 🐰 and let you know you are appreciated and always look forward to hearing your take on ,not even equipment per se . Your description of sound... We love ya out here dude... Later,❤️✌️
The best review of this speaker. Was looking for this kind of review, cheers for that one.
Great review. I wouldn’t mind seeing more “non-audiophile” pieces like this.
Another good review Sean. Now you convinced me on buying this type of speaker for background music, which is, 80% of the time, the way we listen to music.
And yeah, your reviews would benefit from a gimbal 😁✌🏼
Good review. I appreciate the objectivity. Seems to be a theme with several of your videos. Well done sir.
I have the One that I bought a couple years ago and absolutely love it. It’s so handy to use and move if you need to take in other rooms. I like it so much that I’m going to get the three so they won’t sell out.
Glad you reviewed it, i have been planning on getting one, to use in the kitchen or home office
Nice review Sean. I have a Harman Kardon Go + Play which I use for listening around the house and in the backyard. The one advantage of the Harman Kardon is that it runs off rechargeable batteries so you can take it wherever you go without needing a powerpoint. Something to think about for those considering such a device.
Fun review! Great idea to address lifestyle products.
I really enjoyed that review Sean. It’s a nice change to switch things up. I bought a NAD viso a few years ago and it performed way beyond my expectations. Horses for courses, there’s no need to watch the news with a 7.1 surround system. ✌️
Yup. Sometimes you don't always need a big system to get the job done.
When I was looking for a small, portable Bluetooth speaker, this was on my radar. I ended up going with the much smaller Klipsch Groove, because it fit in my messenger bag, along with a set of HiFiMan HE4xx headphones and a small amp (O2). Also $300 cheaper, and rechargeable, battery powered. When I decide I want something nicer for a room, I will definitely be looking hard at this one.
Great review. Keep up the great work.
Nice! And thanks!
Thanks... i appreciate the review which is ‘out of the ordinary’ for you but none the less it gives a good option for bedroom or workroom application.
My wife gave me one of these for Xmas. I use it for mostly late night listening in the bedroom off phone bluetooth. SQ is not great, but it connects/works seamlessly in that role. It also looks good on the shelf!
Yep. It ain't gunna rewrite any playbooks in terms of sound quality, but it's one of the better looking solutions out there. In my opinion, at least. :)
Impressive for what it is, using $129 BOSE great for small speaker
Who sells these?
Sounds like BOSE no tone control, feel like l need at times.
Zero Fidelity
Who are players in sound quality at affordable cost?
please tell me, is it two-channel? (Stereo). Or do you need to buy two for stereo?
This is exactly what I needed to know about this portable speaker. The primary use will be to provide pleasant background audio while I am working or (when this pandemic ends) hosting a gathering. Thank you!
Plan*
These are great for parties!
I will have to look into this speaker. Could not find the song from The Monday’s fea Hannah Stone. Where did you find it?
Thank you for this review!!! It was very helpful.
I sell these things at my store. First review I have seen. And I concur with all of it. I was just blown away by how nice it sounds for its size. We also carry Marshall, JBL etc and it's just in another league. And it doesnt have that horn sharpness of so many other Klipsche products and is very easy on the ear long term. Only the Sonus is close to as good. I have no need for one in my home, but want one as it is just so beautully finished, styled and sounds so surprisingly decent. I have sold some with cheapish turntables as a starter system. For people with space constraints it's perfect.
How would it compare to the Marshall Woburn 2?
I was debating on buying this for the past few weeks. Just couldn't pull the trigger on the $400 price tag. Saw it drop down to $300 and still..just couldn't do it. Then Amazon had it down to $260 and I jumped all over it. Even now it's at $250 (4/11/21) and honestly, $250 is a steal. Love this little box.
Can it power R-41M (passive speaker, each with positive & negative speaker wire connection on the back of the pair) im thinking of buying Audioengien n22 amplifier, but now thinking should i just buy this. But i dont see the left speaker positive/negative & right specker positive/negative
Hi, great video bro, between these klipsch or marshall woburn II which is better? Thanks
Great video per usual man! I have The One and it's a Great little speaker
How does this speaker 🔊 compare to Bowers and Wilkins Formation Wedge?
I wish you could do a harman kardon review. Your reviews are very clear and concise.
Would you go with this or the Sonos 5 ?
Remote has a button for LED. When pressed, does nothing? Any idea what it does?
Fantastic video.
Question, compared to a zeppelin air, how's it sound?
i care and wanna see more reviews of things like these! i’m gonna forward this review and a link to the speaker to a freind who is just a casual listener but wants to get a decent turntable. this would be perfect for him cause it looks cool and sounds good and he won’t need anything else.
How would this compare to a Sonos play 3 or play 5?
Hey there, new to your channel as well as to quality home audio, you mentioned this speaker can connect to your home wifi network, would that allow me to rout the audio from my laptop to this speaker ??
Im looking for a permanent home system to play music and podcasts through, I like the price point of this unit, however id be willing to spend as much as 600 if there was a better option out there
any input is appreciated, thanks
So what’s the best of the best table top single speaker?
Good solution for a lot of people and situations - just have realistic expectations.
Audio Pro is sitting on my desk. This will be moving to girlfriends shop soon and will to be replaced; great review for someone who owns the RP-600M!
Great review. Thank you.
I just got my three ii last Wednesday....it was fine for a couple days but now it keeps cutting out while listening....using my phone and Bluetooth.......I tried my JBL Bluetooth speaker and it is fine so it must be the Klipsch speaker? Anyone have any advice?
What is the name of the guitar music at 9 :23? It sounds great. That music is the decision maker to buy one at Costco. I was comparing it with Sonos one SL but the review videos sound all muffled. Thanks for the review.
I listen to my audiobooks while in the shower everyday. This might be great for my bathroom
Klipsch the three is the best speaker among others that I have (xtreem, Harman studio). U will enjoy how the sound of its fills the whole of ur main room, even ur each bed room.
How did it sound with record player ?
Look forward to reviewing the upcoming Fives. Quite an intriguing product. And for that matter, if Klipsch gets in touch ask them to send you the Sixes for a one of a kind review/comparison :)
I have The Sixes, they are awesome for the money! Worth every cent!
Love Magnepan. I have had their 2.6R for 30 years now and they still sound GREAT as I rarely listen to anything too bass heavy. You do need some good amplification to get them to sing. Their 3.7i is simply nothing short of Amazing. Love the company and their product. Super good value compared to other manufacturers. Only thing is that they need a lot of room to breath as their footprint is quite large. Otherwise, almost perfect.
Sean, thanks for the music at the end. It sounded pretty good. I know I can't judge how it would sound in my room just by listening to it over TH-cam, but I do find the sound clips entertaining.
Yup. It's there for entertainment purposes. :).
I have a Klipsch The One ii phono, for background music it is incredible! My main system is Dynaudio Contour 1.3 SE's powered by a Krell system that is a life changing experience....I listen to the Klipsch ten times as much, it's just a lot of fun! You look at it and think really??? Not audiophile by a long shot but a helluva lot of fun to listen to! Highly recommended.
Can anyone compare these with Apple HomePod (the bigger one) for the bedroom, just to fill in the room?
I think that switching it up to reviewing the lifestyle speakers is a great idea, given the market size and that people like myself that have downsized and either don’t have the room, desire, or money for hifi stuff anymore. I have started looking into smart speakers with enough sound quality to be enjoyable when I want to listen to music other than as background music, and have investigated the Klipsch line, the Amazon Echo Studios, and the Google Home Max, which is by far the largest of the group. I think that the amount of bass available may be adequate without a subwoofer and I don’t care much that the Amazon Echo Studio has a much larger sound field. Anyway, I think that you will find that there is a lot of interest in these types of products and could blaze a new trail for audio reviewers.
So Should I buy It ?
enjoyed the review. I've been powering Forte II's since 1990 so adding this style of speaker requires some planning and when i saw this on their website i thought just maybe. Love the look and wondering how it lines up with a Bose SoundTouch 30; seems like a comparable cost and size. The Bose is nice but seems to optimize the sound at med-high volume and lacks fullness at the low end of the volume scale.
What is its competitive equal
I'm Enjoying My Klipsch 3 II.....I've Been A Klipsch Fan For Many Years Now....My Home Theater System Is All Klipsch....
Does it have spotify connect?
Nice review 🖤
I have alot of bluetooth speakers but each one is different and doesn't sound great for certain bands. I love listening to Pink Floyd and wondering how this speaker would sound with Pink Floyd's sounds.
Best review out there.
Good stuff Sean. I love my main system, obvs, but I love my mono Minirig if I'm out n about. Vocals on the Minigig? Outstanding, as they are on my Mono Roberts radio in my bathroom.
So is the K3 mono or stereo?
Yep. Minirigs have their important place. The K3 is stereo.
Looks similar to the Klipsch the "Sixes" that were on clearance a few months ago.. It was like $299 / pair around christmas and I didn't pull the trigger.
Love your reviews. Im new to your vids. Can you test some Paradigm stuff? I was thinking, their Pw Amplifier, and or Pw 800, 600 wireless speakers? What you think? I dont see anyone reviewing them. Is Paradigm that bad? Thanks
I love Paradigm speakers. I regretted not buying the Titans when I bought the Optimus Pro LX7s instead, which were adequate for my purpose at the time.
Love your channel
Great review.
Would it be fair to say that once you stop focusing on what it isn’t, you begin to see the beauty of what it is?
Bingo!
It’s beautiful .
Good review in terms of sound quality, use case, etc. However, every review of a Bluetooth connected device MUST include a list of CODECS the device supports. Bluetooth 4.0 is not that meaningful compared to whether it supports aptX, AAC, or other codecs.
This speaker supports aptX so that would work fine with Android devices. But it does not support the AAC codec so with an iPhone it will default to the very basic SBC codec. This matters a lot for sound quality and, IMHO, should be avoided by iPhone users.
It is quite unfortunate that this is the state of affairs with Bluetooth, but that’s where we are.
@@andrewclarke8930 I don’t think so anymore. AAC and LDAC have been open sourced, I think.
Another option would be a Bluetooth internet table radio with one full range speaker.
There are some high quality radios available from different manufacturers you can search online for. One full range speaker might be better for some people that don’t want heavy bass. More focused Midrange and softer high notes in their music listening.
oh cool. i've been wondering about the other stuff from Klipsch.
Great review as always! I tried 2 of the Klispch The One, and had to send both back to Crutchfield due to faulty electronics, one of them the battery would not charge (1st version of The One had chargeable battery) 2nd one would not retain Bluetooth connection. Even drove to a Magnolia and was gonna buy The Three and demo unit was stuck at full blast volume and couldn’t turn it down, at all, asked clerk and he had stated they had a few returned with the exact same issue, threw in the towel and bought a HomePod for background music. I don’t have faith in Klispch active speakers, seen multitude of problems on forums with plate amps failing in their subs, I too have the R-15 PM Klispch and while they sound ok, there’s quite a bit of hiss at idle when up close so I don’t use them in near field.
Thanks for providing some additional feedback. And yeah, most affordable active speakers have noise. Which is why I rarely recommend them to people.
You can thank the Chinese manufacturing for all of this. I worked for a guitar pedal manufacturing company until retiring 2 years ago and there were always some problems with the components that we got from them to assemble into the final product. Not for every piece of course but too many. The level of quality control is a problem and is tough to maintain across the ocean. While Klipsch can build excellent speakers at home, it is quite another issue when offshoring you’re manufacturing.
@@StewartMarkley Thx for ur feedback. I will look for the warranty.
Mixing it up is always good. So style is sometimes okay
Like your reviews, there is not good reviews about “Pro Audio Addon T3 and T5” it would be awesome seeing these in your channel.
A Klipsch without a horn? My home audio is entirely Klipsch driven with the exception of my wife's art studio. I think this would be a nice addition to the family.
Nice review Sean, I haven't heard the Klipsch 3 but I've been rocking out with my Woburn & Woburn 2 for some time. Great speakers for hanging out in the yard or background music listening when not being serious as I did today while practicing good social distance with my neighbors and enjoying the spring weather. Now how bout a more high end product review like a flagship amp or preamp from Hegel, McIntosh, Pass Labs etc? Just a suggestion.
Higher end gear was in the works, then the Coronavirus came along and b*tch slapped those projects down. A lot of companies are scared to do much of anything right now, and would rather hold off on reviews until after this whole thing is over. I'm not sure I am completely on board with that position, but I need to respect it all the same.
Any nice powered klipsch speakers for a basic tv setup in a small room for my mom? Less than $300ish?
I guess this might be ok if it had an optical or something
I have a set of R14s with their Powergate (amp/dac/inputs) I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend their powered speakers based on your use case. $300 www.klipsch.com/products/r-41pm-powered-speakers
Hi...İs has wi fi?
Good video as usual. You need to make one of your different t-shirts as well 😊. Some interesting ones I’ve noticed over the years. Where do you get them?
haha I cant even recall where I get the T's. I'm trying to do this thing where I wear more.. age appropriate shirts. We'll see how that goes.
I found the base to be a little over powering. I connected a BluSound Node 2i and turned down the base through the app. That improved the sound significantly.
🦻 Is this a up to date 2020 speaker❓
Klipsch The one ii actually 180 euros in France you think it's a good deal or you think for the money i can have a better deal ? It's just for listening music in my kitchen when i eat with the Klipsch on my wood table, i have already a good floorstanding speaker and amp in my bedroom. Thanks for your answer !
Tu pourras même trancher ton saucisson dessus, petit veinard.
Except for the aesthetics, what would be the differences between the three I and the three II?
The II maybe.
Good review. I'm thinking it would make good gift for my daughter . The cd next to the unit at the start of the video is Angus & Julis Stone . I really enjoy it and I find solid from start to finish . Shawn I think you should change the hat up and wear cowboy hat . 😊
Nice music spot. Yep, they make some great tunes! And hah, I could rock a sombrero!
Sean sorry to digress,i am curious to know why you traded the box amplifier,are u a ss guy or whether the box is not up to the mark that merits for a long adherence?
I go through lots of gear. The Box is nice, but it was time to bring in something else.
@@ZeroFidelity
K thanks for the reply.
Have you had a chance to try out the Polk Magnifi Mini?
Technically a small form-factor sound bar but sounds great with music. Really big sound.
Can you pair two of them and get stereo separation.
For that price you should go ahead and get the fives. I have them and they’re great.
Please review Klipsch The Fives
Which has a better sound quality, Klipsch the three ii or Marshall Stanmore ii?
Bose revolve plus!
Jbl partybox 100
The ground is for the phono connection at least in mid to high end turntables. Without it you may experience a hum.
I’ve got a Sangean tabletop HD Radio with a terrible full range speaker BUT it has a great 3.5 mm line out. This Klipsch 3 in combo would be its aesthetic complement visually and a huge step up sonically. Thanks for your thoughts Sean.
Cheers!
Replace the speaker on parts express for low $$. A PRV brand are highly efficiant.
How did the phono input work?
Didn't test it.
I cant connect my iphone here through Bluetooth
Refreshing. Its klipsch so it has to be good.
Klipsch smart, no treble tilted up. In this category they be competing with other bass based speaker. Bass based? And your average listener in a category are looking for bass output. Need bass output for outdoor use and cutting through outdoor noise. Corded yes, but will be moved outside, portability is what lifestyle speakers like this are about.
At first glance, looks like Bose 901's. Reminds me of KLH table radios from the past. These speakers are best for small rooms like den, office, bedroom & kitchen.they sound fantastic. The only thing this klipsch lacks is tone controls & FM radio.
Exactly right. And yep, I thought an FM/AM radio would have been a nice touch.
I've had one of these for years on top of the refrigerator for listening to music and podcasts while I cook or do chores. Works perfectly for that. Sure I have better systems in other rooms and some good headphones and all that, but like you said - for that purpose it's perfect
Thanks been interested in this speaker for kitchen, garage when working out there and patio.
Please more volume on your videos, had.to crank it up and then down for the next vid I watched.
Suggest a mic on body and standardize volume in post
Regular watcher
Appreciate the feedback. Will consider a better mic setup in the future. For now, it'll have to remain low as to not pick up on backround noise.
I couldn't find WiFi in this product
They missed the boat I'm not offering a coaxial or Optical Connection. While charging $400 for it I'm sure they could have work that in
Hey that could be great for our office.
Can you please tell me what in the hell you mean by the term "WARM" since you seem to use the term at least a dozen times in EVERY speaker and amplifier review you do??
Otherwise, another great opinion-oriented review.
I especially like that you included a sound demo at the end of this review.
Keep up the great work!
Like full sound
How is the phono stage?
Never tested it.
If it's the same as the Sixes then just functional, not very good. If you already have a phono stage I'd use it and run the output into the line-level RCA inputs on the Three.
@@1mctous Another bad news.
I have the Klipsch One and it sounds great, let me ask you the Three is triple the price, is the sound worth it? I don't give a shit about features, and connectivity, I just care about SOUND QUALITY, is it that much better then the Klpsch One that I already have ?
No, it is not. I picked up a One Phono at WalMart in Carlsbad, NM for $70.00 NIB! Felt like a theft, wish I would have bought them all!
