- I see your comments guys! I hear you asking for it. Today I was finally able to get my hands on the biggest and the baddest in the Klipsch Music City Series -- The Klipsch Detroit. Today I am going to break it out of the box and go over some specs. Following that, we are going to jump into some JBL compares starting with the Charge and then moving onto the Xtreme. Stay tuned guys. We're in for a wild ride!
Let me know in the comments if you're picking one of these up or if you already have and what you think! I want to hear your thoughts as well! Also, hit that subscribe button because we have more on the Detroit coming very soon!

Awesome video again and smart of you to upload it this fast! Keep it up!
Thanks and thanks for watching! You guys keep watching, I'll keep making em!
Thanks for the video. I have a lot of expectations on this speaker. Klipsch makes good natural sound speakers.
Thanks for watching! Loving it so far. It's been performing beautifully.
Thanx!
Thanks for watching!
Hey just wanted to say I found you recently from Klipsch’s site when I saw ur review on the Austin because I was debating the Austin or the Nashville, keep up the great work. I was hoping you could do the Bluetooth link thing with the three Klipsch speakers and the possible combos and give some situations u would use them in. I’m trying to figure out if I want to get more than the Austin
Thanks for watching! I may do a quick setup guide for the broadcast mode as, while the functionality is awesome..the instructions aren't the best lol. Could possibly run through a use-case guide when I do if you guys wanna see it!
All that said, it's really awesome. It adds more dimension to your listening experience and fills the room better than a single speaker can because you can actually separate them within the space. You'll also get more output but, the better immersion in your listening is really my favorite part.
I just got the speaker. I am extremely picky with sound and so far I would say it’s amazing.
Thanks for watching! It's definitely an excellent performer. This whole series has impressed me a ton!
Really appreciate how responsive you are in the comments and getting your hands on the latest equipments. How is the latency during video playback/movies when using a pair of Nashvilles in True Wireless Stereo mode? It's something that I haven't been able to find information on, but I suspect the extra processing would induce a noticeable delay, that would be a deal breaker for me.
If I'm in search for sound quality and prioritises a wider sound stage over deep bass (I'd prefer a tight, snappy bass as opposed to a boomy one) mainly for the living room but may occasionally require portability, would you recommend a pair of Nashvilles on TWS or a solo Detroit (I think quite a few others have a similar question it'd be worth looking into)?
It would be amazing, could even be the first on the internet, if you could do a direct comparison between the popular Nashville(s), Emberton II(s) and Soundlink Flex(s) (ahem, Tribits) in solo and paired mode, and how you think a pair might stack up against their larger, stereo, siblings.
Cheers for the insightful review as always.
Thanks for watching and for the input! Don't get me wrong, I love the Detroit but, the Nashville is probably my favorite in the line. Bass does seem to be a bit tighter, love the 360 sound, and the portability is huge. Not quite pocket sized but, can def go anywhere with ya.
As for the latency, long as it's a later gen source, you shouldn't be an issue.
I do have plans to compare to marshall, as well as several others here in the near future. Stay tuned :)
Thanks for the vid. I've never heard of this brand. I'm from Australia, so maybe it hasn't travelled "downunder" yet? I love my bt speakers. I have a Charge 5, a Skullcandy Kilo & a Bose Soundlink 2. Are you planning on putting the Klipsch up against the Soundcore series. Cheers buddy & thanks again.
Thanks for watching! Klipsch is in Australia but probably not as common out there. If you go to klipsch.com/dealers you can see if there's a dealer anywhere near ya. Honestly not sure where I'm going to take the compares but always looking for ideas. I'm thinking I'll compare to Marshall lineup next but anker/soundcore could be fun to do as well if I see a lot of demand for it!
@@AudioInsideScoop the Klipsche A/V speakers certainly are but I've never seen these portable versions. This sound like its really good.
Does the included product literature specify where these are actually assembled?
Thanks for watching! Not that I could find but it could be in there somewhere. The spec sheet is downloadable on the Klipsch website. Looks like the manual isn't up yet but it is for the Nashville and they should be almost identical.
Good thanks for bringing it, looking forward to this model to see if this model or another one suits me
I'm between detroit vs middleton vs bose sound flex vs soundcore motion x600/x300
Well, I'm looking for a versatile speaker that can be adapted both to listen to music and to be able to watch movies and improve the sound of my laptop and from time to time to be able to take it outside, that's why these are the models that you recommend, greetings and looking forward to listening to it.
Thanks for watching! I may do a Detroit vs Middleton video down the line if anyone has any interest. Been throwing my focus on JBL vs Klipsch as, that's where I see a lot of questions but, Marshall may be next in line.
The marshall middleton is awful sounding, I've got the bang olufsen a1 gen 2 speaker, and the sound quality is absolutely amazing.
Thank you very much, I look forward to your comparison.
Compared these models for what it is like to watch movies, which would be your favorite and why?
*Detroit
*Bose sound flex
*soundcore motion x600
*soundcore motion x300
*middleton
Boy you were right when you said you were the first to upload a review for this speakers.
Im sold on them!
However i couldn’t find them on amazon and some website say “pre order”
Also have you tried the groove xxl? Just curious.
Thanks for watching! Just checked and it looks like you may be able to order direct from the Klipsch website. Not sure how long shipping takes but, it looks like it's showing available now. Let me know what you think when you get your hands on one!
I haven't personally tried the XXL but, I may have to grab one and throw them side by side. Had a few requests come through for more details on that guy since it's similar cost wise and form factor to the Detroit.
@@AudioInsideScoop sounds great! Cant wait for the comparison.
Thanks for the heads up :)
The Klipsch Detroit is twice the price of the Klipsch Nashville but is it worth the extra cost? I'm mostly concerned about sound quality - clarity, bass, treble that is not harsh or brittle, sound separation, etc.
Really going to depend on your needs. You'll get more lows out of the Nashville and more raw output but, as far as clarity, they will both be super clean. Super crisp. You'll get better stereo separation out of the Detroit because, while the Nashville has two drivers, they are used for 360 sound so, ones on the front and ones on the back so, I would guess it's configured mono. For stereo, the Detroit would be the way to go.
That said, an option you didn't mention would be 2x Nashvilles in broadcast stereo mode. Will get you nice clarity, as wide of stereo separation as your room would allow, and same cost as Detroit. Less actually with current sale prices. Not as much low frequency but, still the same clarity and, if you want, you can just take one as a convenient travel companion.
Can you connect this up as a computer speaker via the USB C connection?
Thanks for watching! Honeslty didn't try but I would very heavily doubt it. If you're looking to connect to a computer, you can use Bluetooth on your computer. With the latest gen Bluetooth, signal degradation isn't bad at all and still sounds great wireless.
when you say it won't skip tracks what do you mean?
Hello and thanks for watching! I mean that, as far as I can tell, there is no button on the speaker to track forward/move to the next track while listening to music. You would need to pull the phone or device out of your pocket to do this while listening to music. You can pause/play, but not skip forward.
One Detroit or 2 Nashvilles?
Pros and cons to both options. Nashvilles would be more mobile. Separate and just take one if you need a smaller footprint. Also, you can widen your stance and give yourself a stereo pair. That said, Detroit will give you more bottom end, stereo listening, and more output from a single box. If you're mostly around the house or local (by car) Travel, would probably go Detroit. If you are always traveling, maybe wanting to take it on a plane or something, Nashville will be your guy.
@@AudioInsideScoop I think I like the Detroit. The one appeal of the Nashville over the Detroit is the 360 which I don't think the Detroit does. When we are camping we tend to be moving around a lot and 360 seems like we could just set it down and forget about it.
The 360 is awesome. You are correct though --- That feature is unique to the Nashville. All drivers are front facing on the Detroit. Passives on back.
Can you connect a Detroit with an Austin?
Thanks for watching! You can, yes! They can cross connect with anything in the line.
I was wondering, does it have an input to plug in a CD player?
Thanks for watching! It is primarily a Bluetooth device and does not have RCA or Aux inputs. You may be able to get a Bluetooth adapter for your cd player that would work but, no direct connection available.
@@AudioInsideScoop thank you! It’s a shame they didn’t think of putting an input into the speaker. I love the brand, but it seems like they always leave something out or missing. How do you like the speaker? Does it perform as well as you thought? I had the KMC 3 in the past, and it blew me away with the sound quality, but there was no way to adjust the treble or bass on that one and no internal battery for recharging, so hopefully the app will take care of the bass and treble adjustments on this speaker.
I love it. I either take the Nashville or the Detroit with me everywhere - which one just depends on size constraints. Yeah I would like to see the headphone jack included on it but --- it seems like everyone is moving away from that these days. I still have an old KMC. They were beasts! --have you seen the new Grooves? basically KMCs with a rechargeable battery. If you loved your old one, that may be an option to consider as well.
how many watts?
Spec sheet shows 2x15 but, honestly wouldn't put too much stock in wattage rating on these portables. Efficiency is equally if not more important. It's not always the amount of power. It's how you use it. :)
@@AudioInsideScoop so 30 watts? is this louder than the xtreme 3
As far as sheer output, I think they were about equal. I'm actually in the process of making a Detroit VS Charge, and Detroit VS Xtreme video. If ya hold tight for just a bit, I'll give you an in depth compare on the two. Make sure you hit the subscribe button. Should release by the end of next week!
How many Watts is it please.

@@AudioInsideScoop ime very tempted to buy one, can you buy it directly from kliptch.
@@AudioInsideScoop what are your views on the jbl authentics 500 please.
It's pretty awesome, you won't regret it! There are several retailers but, I imagine they are filling backorders before they make them available for new orders. I was on the "notify me" list for quite a while. Quick Google search will take you to several retailers that do, or will carry them. Should be able to buy direct from Klipsch as well but, not sure which route will get it to you fastest.
Honestly can't speak on it as I haven't personally heard it. If I get enough requests for it though, wouldn't mind dedicating a video to it. They look pretty sweet!
