Klipsch ProMedia Heritage 2.1 Review

#Klipsch #KlipschProMediaHeritage #klipschaudio #audiophile
I bought the coolest mid century design computer speakers and they sound amazing! These speakers are made by Klipsch and the satellite speakers take their design cues from their legendary Heresy speakers. No doubt, these are some of the best looking computer speakers I have ever laid my eyes on, but do they sound as good as they look?

[@davidst4896]

thing is if you want to use the sub-woofer with some different speakers on the desktop, no problem I tried some a little larger, 8 ohm, no problem.

[@carewser]

Yeah that's a nice option that not all computer speakers provide and with this system you'll want a better subwoofer because this one isn't good

[@rickyneeter69]

Do I need an amplifier? If so which one is good I dont want to hear a hum noise

[@user-zw6sw7tm8p]

If you can upload a sound demo video of different kind of music it will be very useful

[@WiliiamNoTell]

KLIPSCH SPEAKERS....pissing off the neighbors since 1946 !!!

[@generationbehindhifi]

haha! There's definitely some truth in that statement! ;)

[@carewser]

yeah because their speakers are so efficient they play LOUD

[@RacerXGTO]

5:54 THANK YOU!!!!!!! Sound Demos are what is needed in these types of videos. Some Jackhass on other channels giving a review "they sound great" is a bunch of bullsh----. Pay me off and I'll tell anyone a dirt rock sounds soooooo great. THANK YOU SIR for providing a sound demo!

[@Confidential619]

I know I can't stand that. Like I'm not going to be staring at it...I need to know how they sound at least from a video.

[@RandomTheories]

sound demo, you are listerning on completely different speakers or headphones, recorded thru microphone of unknow quality, delivered via youtube compression... yeah, those demos are really usefull /s

[@RacerXGTO]

@RT - wow, you're kidding. Gee, none of(we) self proclaimed audiophiles would have never guessed the lack of accuracy in the transfer of audio gear. We're just too stupid to have known anything of that sort. The sound demos work, as they provide a 'rough' estimate of how it may sound, versus some jackhole saying "it's the best". Some of you guys are wound incredibly tight with audio chest thumping. I can't fathom being wound that tight, I go for fun and enjoyment, and sound demos provide a base line to explore further up to, and including listening to the genuine product before purchasing.

[@RandomTheories]

@@RacerXGTO ayay, someone is butthurt. You know what, I respect your opinion, hopefully you will respect mine that "sound demos" are just waste of video time. btw: I bought these yesterday and they really do sound great. "the best"? No..great. So there is your "jackhole" opinion

[@marcjorgensen]

Think these would be good on the patio, used for BT and hooked to a TV? Would look pretty cool in my outdoor kitchen area

[@generationbehindhifi]

I don't see why not. I really enjoy mine.

[@JP-hn9mv]

Doubt I'll get a response but its worth the try. Does anyone know if the sub can pick up real low bass. Specifically a few big krit songs my sub parts 1-4 reach real low bass frequencies and you need a pretty good sub to pick them up. I know absolutely nothing when it comes to audio though.

[@generationbehindhifi]

Are you looking for bass below 20Hz? If so, I'm doubtful that there are any computer speaker setups (speakers + subwoofer) that can hit that low.

[@nottheonlyjustin]

What’s that copyright free song?

Hi Im using Klipsh Promedia 2.1 THX, I have the same static sound issues 5:08 when I plug in the AUX cable into my desktop, took it to my local technicians, they said cannot help with the issue. Do you know how I can get the replacement cable for that model or any other available solution?

[@generationbehindhifi]

Replacement Cable: amzn.to/3Zmrymg

[@davidstrumsky7012]

@@generationbehindhifi This replacement solution won't work: There are no AUX (RCA) inputs on the subwoofer of my Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 THX-Certified computer speaker setup. You'd have to re-engineer something.

[@sadsappysucker_]

get any 3.5mm aux cable from any brand and plug one end into your Klipsch control pod, where a “🎶” symbol is located and the other end into your desktop. Done. If the issue still persists there might a ground loop issue, and you would need an adapter. Thankfully my laptop has a good enough integrated soundcard .

[@gokulprasadrao8893]

@@davidstrumsky7012 did you manage to sort out the issue in yours?

[@gokulprasadrao8893]

@@sadsappysucker_ my speakers don’t have the detachable cables, the connection to the satellite units are soldered on the board of the controller.

5:01 "Klipsch does provide an RCA to TRS cable... but I recommend throwing this cable in the trash"... I lol'd harder than I should have... probably because I'm drunk as I am watching this video lol.

[@enriquerojas7762]

Cuantos wats tiene esta equipo? No entiendo inglés pero la pregunta es: se oyen mejor que los s360 de edifier o estos klipsch son mejor?

[@iggynor5007]

Can I plug my PS5 to this?

[@Confidential619]

So they can be used on any brand tv? I only see an 'Optical Digital Audio Out' plug insert behind my tv. Is that where they plug into? My tv doesnt have the red, blue white type of cables on the tv.

[@generationbehindhifi]

These speakers were not designed for use on TVs. I guess you could use them if your TV had RCA audio outs, but most don't.

[@RomanoBeezyaew]

Edifier 351db alternative ?

[@generationbehindhifi]

I never heard of that brand before. I looked them up and they are double the cost of what I paid for my Klipsch ProMedia Heritage. For that kind of money ($500) I hope they are better! There is one review on Best Buy who said the below so I'm skeptical. If people do decide to buy them, make sure they purchase from a store with a great return policy. :) " I ordered this to replace my Klipsch Promedia 2.1 because they were a better fit for my desk setup, but the Klipsch (2 speakers and 1 subwoofer)that was 1/3 of the cost of this Edifier, and the sub was 1/2 the size delivered 10x the bass. The speakers were nicely built, delivered great audio, but the subwoofer was an extreme disappointment."

[@danielukasik6902]

Edifier is really bad brand.. I think they probably don't even employ sound engineers.. I have several friends who bought their speakers.. I would tell them not to, but they didn't ask.. however, not a single of them sounded good.. I would even say the sound was terribly bad.. but people buy it because they like the looks, or LED lights or I dont know what, an believe that the sound must be good due to higher price tag...

[@dk-mael]

​@@danielukasik6902 I dont understand how you can lie so much, just go and check specs between these Klipsch speakers and Edifier S351DB ones and you will see the difference. Check the little details in build quality and compare it to plastic look of these Klipsch drivers and you will see another difference. I dont know how much do you even know about sound quality in general but these Klipsch are the ones that are overpriced here. Not saying Klipsch is a bad brand, but its not winning in this case

[@Karioz22]

Se apagan porque no tienes actualizado el firmware de el equipo, en mi caso no se apagan porque ya descargue el firmware...

[@generationbehindhifi]

It sounds like you skipped through the whole video. I mentioned everything you said in this video and even included the firmware update in the description. Thanks for the comment though.

[@Karioz22]

@@generationbehindhifi en este modelo los bajos no son muy profundos verdad? Tengo este equipo y no sé si así estén bien o sea una falla de subwoofer, que me puedes decir sobre ello; porque he tenido otros equipos donde el sonido del woofer es más profundo.... Aún así este equipo me encantó suena increíble...

[@luxpiotr]

I hate too much sub-bas. Satelites should have inch more midrange and 2 inch less on sub...

[@generationbehindhifi]

That's what the gain control is for on the subwoofer. If you think it sounds like it has too much bass, simply turn the knob down. I would much rather have too much (more headroom) than not enough. You can always dial it down if need be.

[@lflyr6287]

GenerationBehindHIFI : well....I can....they're called The Last Of The Titans AKA Logitech Z-2200 / Z-2300 !!!! And if you wanted a 1/3 bigger and 1/3 louder sub, you bought the Z-5500....those were the loudest and strongest PC speakers ever built. They beat the Corsair SP 2500 and Edifier S350DB easily.

[@marekrysanshorts5856]

What about Logitech Z906? 500W RMS - 1000W

[@lflyr6287]

@@marekrysanshorts5856 Z623 and Z906 are descendants of the Z-2300 and Z-5500....but both are 1/3 smaller, have 1/3 smaller diameter of the bass unit and don't have analog toroidal amp-s anymore and are thus around 1/3 weaker in practice....I've had the Z623 besides my Z-2300 and they are noticeably weaker....but not bad by any accounts....just downsized in every aspect by 1/3.
