Klipsch ProMedia Ultra 2.0

You can put the Klipsch name on your desk for 100 bucks

You’ll want a pair of somebody else’s speakers to actually listen to

Whatever Klipsch was thinking when it designed the ProMedia Ultra 2.0s, we hope the sentiment doesn’t migrate to the rest of the product line.

Live-sounding. Snappy bass and smooth high end.

Limited volume levels. No deep bass.

This outstanding sub-$100 speaker system sounds more lifelike than most desktop systems costing two or three times as much. It doesn't get too loud and has little output in the lower bass registers, but it sets new standards for realism in its price...

Excellent highs, Dynamic bass, Fills room with sound, Pleasing design, Price

Midrange could be more expressive, Only one miniplug cable included, No treble adjustment, A tad too bulky to be considered portable, A smaller case (other than the box) would be a good addition

Within the review, I compared these speakers to higher-end systems because I've come to expect Klipsch to be high-end. At a price less than $100, the "bar" is slightly dropped in terms of quality, but compared to similarly priced systems, this is the...

Next I tried some MP3s. According to the manual, "during playback of MP3s, files may be perceptibly degraded compared to other audio sources such as CD." Having invested about $7K into my own speakers, I'm not all that fond of MP3 technology....

Small size ; surprisingly good sound ; low price

Limited volume ; bass doesn't extend as far as most sub/sat systems

OK, I've been reading reviews from a lot of folks who were having the same issue I was with theses speakers. I bought them in '06 and have really liked them, but the volume knob got crackly and the left speaker kept cutting out. I thought, "Oh well,...

I've been an owner of these speakers for two and a half years now. The sound they put out is excellent, and if you have an issue with super high-frequency sounds, they include slide-in faceplates that cover the speakers. They also have tremendous...

I purchased these speakers in August 2006 and for the last year they have slowly been dying and now they have kicked the bucket. I don't know, is 3 years a good lifespan for a 90-dollar pair of speakers? Not in my book. At the best of time, they...

I bought these about one year ago. In the beginning, they sounded good and I was very satisfied. They were used for my computer and were great for that use. Within a few months, as commonly described, the volume control began with the static...

The cheap volume control cuts out the right speaker at normal listening levels. I can't take it anymore and am replacing these speakers.
