Ive never seen this channel before until now. But i thank you so much for the amount of info you pack into this review. Instead of just spouting specifications, you are actually going into the reasons why you do or dont like something in great detail, and then on top of that showing us (letting us hear) what you mean by it. If you are able to, do please keep this format for future reviews; its REALLY helpful.
I’ll do my best
I'm only interested with sound comparisons as I'm not a native speaker it gets hard to understand everything people say in videos so unless the info I'm looking for is so important for me I'm going for the comparison straight forward. xd
@@neverenoughtech Klispch cinema 600 vs Samsung q90r: which one has the higher max. SPL regarding music listening i.e powerful sound during music listening?
Finally a video that actually goes through all the details on a sound bar I’m considering buying, not a lot of reviews out there and then found this one! Thanks a lot
I knew you were out there 😀
Thank you for your awesome comparison with which results I totally agree on. Also a really nice touch to add Andrew Robinson into the mix.
Instablaster.
Thanks for this video, is the type of review that we need, comparing point by point.
Thank you for this very detailed review of those devices! In those days, there are so many so many so called "reviews" online, which just read the tech. specs. out, show some awesome DLSR 4k video, add some stunning transitions and thats it. There is so much show, but as good as nothing behind it. And youtube plp usually go for this, than a review like you did.
Thanks, encouraging!
Very nuanced review. Bravo👌
Thank you for another great video. I really appreciate your detailed reviews with just the right amount of humor.
I’m looking forward to your review of the Sony ST5000.
Great Review!!
Excellent job!
Have always been a fan of Klipsch, and this 600 does not dissuade that feeling at all. Love the Sub's ability to shake the house, and the sound is crisp overall.. I listen to music as much as watching a movie, so this setup fits the bill, and the price point is excellent. Great video
This one and Sony HT-S500RF which one is powerful
I have this sound bar . I connected fire tv stick that support 1080p dolby atmos .to hdmi in port of sound bar..and i get dolby atmos in netflix but not in prime video ... any reason why?? Could some help .Thanks
As a Klipsch fanboy I have to agree with you on the plastic. I wish they offered a wood finish on the bar. I would gladly pay a little bit more for a better sound resonance
Great review, thanks
A total newb on soundbars but just bought a nice tv that really needs some enhanced audio to give a better experience. This was the first review that I saw regarding the Sony that really put in perspective what you're getting vs a "less frills better quality" bar. I think I'll stick to some enhanced but not surround sound for now (tricky room instalation, not really feeling the urge to use the limited buget on that).
Great review, looking forward to more.
Amazing video, thank you!
Is The Klipsch 800 a good deal for 710.00 on Amazon at the moment? I purchased the HGT for 399.00 a couple weeks agoo but i am tempted to return in and buying the 600 would you say that is a good call? Thank you
Ty for the review. I want to use this with my PC upgrading from a Vizio and wanted to spend about 400.00. I listen to Spotify and Deezer from my PC and watch westerns and stuff from my desktop in my office because my other half doesn't really appreciate it
There's nothing like a good soundbar fight!
As someone who has been using a 20 years old mid range (price wise) focal 5.1ht system linked to an equally old Denon receiver, that Klipsch Soundbar set is the closest sounding Soundbar to the traditional HT speakers, other Soundbars from not audio companies like Samsung, Sony and LG sounds like coming from cheap karaoke speakers...
Do you have direct comparison video between the Klipsch and jbl or anything else from equal audio companies?
Some people claim that the midbass from klipsch cinema is not as strong as its lower bass. Is that true?
The sound quality and sound check towards the end is most of what you really need to know. Mostly use my klipsch to listen to bumping music while playing pool. Great investment for me
Hi,I have a jvc tv supporting Dolby Digital plus, with HDMI Arc and optical.It would receive Atmos only through Dolby Digital?
Atmos is supported via Dolby digital plus and Dolby true HD - Dolby digital (without the plus) does not support Atmos. Atmos is not supported via optical.
What do you think about the klipsch Cinema 800?
Brilliant review, Can you tell me i have the Ambeo bar hooked up to my Hisense 65u8qft without eArc and now and again it gets a drop out in sound, And this is all through Sky Q tv watching UHD content with Atmos Audio, Is this because the tv isn't eArc supported im not sure any help appreciated 👍🏻
The issue would not be endemic to ARC. Could be a bad hdmi cable, big with Ambeo, tv, or combination. I would try switching stuff out. If you have a streaming box connect to tv and arc and see if the issue goes away. If yes then the problem lies with the tv or tv Ambeo interaction. The only time I’ve gotten sound drop offs is with Sony Soundbars that don’t support LPCM but I try to play LPCM anyway (via Apple TV) - have not had a problem with Ambeo in sound cutouts. Best I have without being able to be there. An unplug replug of all components and power cables would. E a good idea. Sometimes I have to do this for Ambeo to recognize the sub (annoying)
@@neverenoughtech ok cool to be fair i think it could well ve the hdmi cable from sky tv box to the tv, I recently just got a UHD box as an upgrade to my old HD one and its been an issue since so probably need to get a hdmi 2.1 lead im not sure this 1 is, I'll c what happens pal 👍🏻
@@neverenoughtech And yes the Ambeo can be glitchy ive had to unplug it before because when switched to Arc it wasn't producing sound which was strange but all sorted
Thank you for this review. It's greatly appreciated by me as I found out that Klipsch Cinema 600 sounds much closer to cinema sound than Sony HT-G700! Cinema doesn't give that much treble, that clean audio which sucks if it's too much. I want deep and bassy sound rather than having crystal clear sound! It's not called Cinema for nothing! Though I don't know if it was because it doesn't have Dolby Atmos, maybe if it had it would have cleaner sound close to Sony which I don't like. :/ I even like low quality songs sometimes because they tend to give deeper sound!
Hi, have you noticed a very low noise like a interference in the subwoofer (sounds like "shhhhh"), it is felt when you listen at a very low volume (close to the minimum) and there is silence in the room, it is even more felt if you approach the subwoofer.
I also noticed that noise is when the bar sends bass to the subwoofer, if it is not playing bass it does not make the noise. I bought 2 cinema 600s and they both make the same interference noise, so it doesn't seem like a unit defect,. Do you know what it can be? ,the subwoofer is next to the bar, less than half a meter, I tried to unplug all the electrical equipment in my house (even put down circuits from the central panel), including the wireless ones, just leave the bar and the subwoofer connected to electricity, and the noise continues, so it is not an electrical problem in my house, nor is it wireless interference. Besides if the problem were electrical or interference, the noise would be all the time, and here the noise appears only when the subwoofer receives audio data, when the bar does not send sound signals the subwoofer is silent, so I interpret that it is a manufacturing failure in some component, or is it a defect of the wireless system with which it is necessary to live. To hear the noise, 3 conditions have to be met at the same time that perhaps very few people meet them to notice it. The conditions are
1- Have the sound almost to the minimum (between 1 and 2 volume LEDs, Up to 3 volume LEDs can also be heard, after that level the sound already covers the noise).
2-The room must be completely closed and silent (nor no noise from the street or outside)
3- You have to be less than one meter from the subwoofer (or listen to it directly from the subwoofer output if you do not have a good ear) and play audio that dominates the bass, since if there is a lot of mids or treble they will cover the noise of the subwoofer.
it becomes annoying when there is silence and listening at low volume
Thanks!
All product comparisons should be made on price parity as this best represents an actual consumer decision. Whether a brand thinks their product is 'premium' or 'entry level' or whatever is irrelevant.
I have a Sony ht-xf9000 is it comparable to this ones
My soundboard just gave out. I do not have earc unfortunately on my Sony x900f. What sound bar would you recommend?
Alright, I'm hanging in there for the Klipsch 1200 review. It BETTER be a good review! We are COUNTING on you!
So many websites giving different release dates for the 1200. B&H has a release of next Tuesday March 2 while Crutchfield is showing May 28. Do hope not a Cyberpunk 77 when eventually comes out.
I’ll believe it exists when I see it.
@@neverenoughtech Would you say that the Vizio Elevate is in the top three in terms of sound, of the sound bars you have reviewed?
I'm scared to give Vizio more of my money after all of the buggy issues with my current Vizio sound bar but I'm thinking unless the 1200 blows my kilt up, I'll probably get the Elevate and just be miserable for the rest of my life
@@musicvideos4536 now B&H says not available lmao
Just to add - im not even sure if the bar will be as great as it should be. I just feel with so many delays (cant imagine always a good thing with multiple delays), everyone was so hyped about it and now that hype has withered and everyones just upset an annoyed lmao. Better be a good bar for the amount of time it’s taking.
No way a 400w 3 driver sound bar can outperform a 600w 7 driver soundboard. The size of klipch wooden woofer speaks for itself
Does klipsch perform better than sonos arc in terms of sound quality? Whats your opinion?
I haven’t put in the work direct comparing to tell you. Klipsch is definitely better sound per dollar
Anyone get a weired sound coming from the subwoofer on the g700 like interference but it's not
Hello from Nigeria. Please have you listened to the Nakamichi shockwafe 9.2? Please how does it compare to the klipsch? You're the best!
Klipsch sound is better than Nakamichi - Nakamichi is better at surround sound and atmos. I reviewed Nakamichi if you check out my channel
A retailer near me told Klipsch cinema 600 is producing more piercing sound that it’ll bring headache in 1 hour..is dat true? Please help me with that
Have not experienced that
Which sounds better klipsch cinema 600 or jbl 9.1? Also which has the better bass? Thanks.
Klipsch / JBL
@@neverenoughtech Wrong. Klipsch has more powerful bass
This one and Sony HT-S500RF which one is powerful
I think You should test Q950T again - You are the only person that still complains about cutouts while it was solved long time ago.
Did You had compared this Klipsch to Bar 48 maybe? 48 sounds for me tiny, but it seems a lot better with 600.
Immersive sound (samsung q800b) vs impressive direct sound from front (klipsch 600). Which one worth it?
Being impressed with the 990B I’d lean towards Samsung. Klipsch is a really strong budget bar for sure so two good choices I’d say
@@neverenoughtech thanks for your opinion..unfortunately in my country cinema 600 is not a budget speaker. 990b much cheaper than cinema 600 here. Maybe its about currency.
Hi, Thank you for the comparison video. Here in India, the G700 costs 508USD whereas the Cinemabar 600 costs 898USD. Does the price difference make the G700 a better Value for money product?
No for music - yes for action movies/games
@@neverenoughtech thank you for your reply. Keep up the good work
similar pricing situation in Thailand where the Klipsh cost $300 more than the Sony. Thank you for the question and answer for this matter.
damn, the only holding me back from the klipsch is the lack of an HDMI input, like the G700. otherwise, i would go for the C600
Thank you for the review
For something like this. I'm really only concerned with the sound quality.
Sony HT-G700 or Sonos Beam Gen 2?
You bought Klipsch Cinema 1200 one year ago for $1500. Now in Thanksgiving its $1900. Crazy!!!
The KLIPSCH is on sale for 399.99 I think its a better option than the Denon DHT-S516H Home Theater or the Yamaha Audio YAS-209BL which I listened to at Costco and I was unimpressed.
I was originally going to compare to the Denon - had it all set up and then noticed it was only 2.0. Yeah sent it back for the Sony comparo. I also got the 600 for 400. I think it’s a special bar period - especially considering the price.
Love the dry sense of humor.
in Turkey klipsch 780$, sony 360$. which one do you prefer in this case?
also is dolby atmos so important?
I really like the 600. Dolby Atmos can be great but you’re best off with a specialized room if you want to go that route. The Atmos on this bar is quite lame even with the right room
@@neverenoughtech thank you. I really like sound quality of klipsch.
@@receperbay5997 dogru duzgun bir inceleme bulamadim.Sony amazonda cok guzel indirime girmis.2600 tl ye satiliyor.Sizce mantuklimi Dolby atmos icin

I need a kitchen sink of codec, it really a plug, and forget about it SB.
is it better than the jbl 5.1 soundbar?
Very different. I prefer the tone on the Klipsch but - JBL does a much better job of 3D sound
@@neverenoughtech can you say which bass quality is deep is it klipsch or the jbl 5.1 soundbar bass? Regarding the bass who wins the game?
I can't wait for the Cinema 800 review. That's where I think the best bang for buck will lie.
Gonna be really hard to beat sound/$1 on the $400 I paid for the Klipsch
@@neverenoughtech yeah, that's true. I'm only waiting to see whether the Atmos effects on the 800 have any bearing on the sonic experience.
They usually have sales for gear in November/December I can see the Cinema 800 being $5-600 during that time. Heck I saw the Cinema 400 for $179 and the Cinema 600 for $299 last year! Use honey to check the price history.
Got the cinema 600 for 299 usd last thanks giving. Great buy.
Extra points for the numbers of times you said, "boomy and crunchy"!
What is the best soundbar you've tested without rears. Purely a soundbar
Arc, Bose 700, Ambeo all compelling. Arc most crisp/disciplined. Bose pleasantly stylized sound profile keeping the fundamentals - impressive sound stage. Ambeo most live sound / most atmospherics (maybe a little unwieldy though - not enough coordination between channels)
3:27 Design and build goes to Klipsch. Meanwhile their logo is put on crooked.
Please review Sony HT-S350 Soundbar.
I have the HT-S350 and the HT-G700 that I found on goodwill, the HT-G700 is better than the HT-S350.
Waiting for the Klipsch 1200 review. Else I just get the JBL "9.1"
Hi man. Who’s the jbl with you so far. Can you tell me ?
Great review, but you lost the point for Klipsch expandability between 22:13 and 24:12. That’s a huge plus!
I probably undervalued - I guess I was thinking the upgrades cost not too much less than what I paid for the system - so yeah can get two systems plus a nice meal for the cost of the upgrades - but the invest option over time is a big plus - and it’s a nice foundation (the bar and sub)
Plug and Play for the win, Klipsch!!
is the G700 a great deal fro $280?
I’d say so
@@neverenoughtech at that price should i go for the klipsch 400, bar48 Samsung HW-Q70T or the Sony g700 a the same price?
Sir which has a better overall sound quality bose 700 with t bass 700 or t klipsch 600?
Klipsch anytime at way less price!
how about samsung HW-Q800A?
Usually the klipsch here is €600 and sony €300. Either way good review
Japan sells goods cheaper to Europe for most cases klipsch is made is us
I’m very murican
Klipsch sounded much better than the Sony in the clips played 👍
That dude isnot a sound expert, iz like sony paid him, i own the klipch 600, and i can say its the most balanced soundbar i have owned yet
@@lemzywonder How loud will the bar actually get. I ended up buying a cheep polk signa S2 on clearance & I gotta say wow for $150. Then I bought the JBL Bar 5.1 & the voices from the bar sucked & the entire system wasent very loud at all & the cheep polk signa S2 sounded better & was louder over all but just weaker in the sub of corse. So back went the JBL & now have the polk magnifi Max SR but not really sure I like it enough to keep it espically when the cheep signa S2 will go toe to toe with it no problem. The cinema 600 was one I was always intrested in but nobody displays it or carrys it & juts have no idea how it sounds compared to others. And espically how loud it will get.
Torn between klipsch 600 and bose 300.
You missed something on the Cinema 600. The Klipsch Connect app has been updated so you now have EQ controls.
When did this update occur? Is it available on iOS? The Klipsch Connect app is very basic. It lets you register the product and that about it. No eq features on iOS.
I have seen it advertised on the update but was not able to find the controls (iOS)
I am on Android, and STILL do NOT see any equalizer on the app. What are you talking about?????? The app looks just as useless now, as it did when I bought it. So please explain.
Personal opinion on Klipsch soundbars. Purchased Cinema 600 soundbar in 11/2020. In January 2022 Bluetooth stopped working. And the wireless subwoofer is not connecting any more. Also bought the surround sound speakers that don't connect anymore. Many other folks are having issues with no solution per Reddit and other sites. Buy a different brand and save yourself the headache.
I noticed Klipsch Released some horrendous updates for the 1200 months after release. Did the trouble come after an update?
3 points for Pips.
Klipsch Sub, MDF, not entirely real wood, for speakers MDF is actually better as it resonates less.
I'd like to add, the grain of the Klipsch MDF seems much finer than on the Sony, the finer it is the less it resonates.
mass Sony bagus banget asli gak bohong aku
G700 is not 700 Watts sounds. it's just the product code . It's 400w . I knew from the beginning that this video was about kiplish . That sound bar looks from another century.
i ended up going AMEBO - best decision ever.
Gotta listen to that one
@@neverenoughtech with the right room it does wonders
Dang that thing is super expensive lol
@@spawnandbatman6975 yeah but unlike any atmos bar, aside from klipsch cinema 1200, you can add any subwoofer you want to this. I have a pb1000 pro. Any movie i watch just annihilates my city.
@@garretts431 shoot i wish lol. I just finished watching the avenger infinity wars. With the sub you got probably would of destroyed the universe. And piss off my neighbors. 🤣
I think this was a good review as far as details go, BUT you completely unfairly gave the Sony two points for a one point thing, and refused to give the Klipsch points in one or two spaces where it was clearly superior. So I'd love to know your rationale in this scoring system. Other than eARC, Klipsch is the obvious winner. EXCEPT for their rude and mindless ignoring of the app. Until Klipsch actually updates the app to have at least a five band equalizer, and controls for leveling the different channels, they are still in the doghouse. Nobody wants to look at a series of dots to determine where things are set... Lastly, YOU lose a few credibility points, just for using CRapple TV, which is HORRIBLE! Lol. And the immersion happens with the Klipsch after adding the 3's surround speakers. Good vid.
I noticed this too. I had to re-tally his own points to make it make sense.
The sound is richer on the Klipsch. However the Sony also offers a punch and it just works. It’s reliable.
Hello!! Where are you?!?!
Good question
@@neverenoughtech Please stop toying with us!!!
I have both soundbar lol
Here in Germany the Klipsch is 600$ and the Sony 400$.
I returned the G700 for the Z9F. Much better sound bar then the G700.
m8 they sound the same every spec is the same only the zf9 got 4k.... double the price.. I should know as I've got both
@@fuzmaginty5822 seriously?
Need to test JBL 9.1 .. PLEASE .. Thanks :)
JBL Bar 9.1 Full Review
ua-cam.com/video/opciBIke_t4/v-deo.html
Watching this 1 year later and the Klipsch is $550 and the Sony I can find for $300
The Sony is designed to work with its sub… makes big difference
Sony, not having their own hires format on their soundbar just shows you what they think of its music playing chops. No tweeter, no hires, why bother. They didn't even think, "Let's include it so it can link with Sony TV's wireless and save an HDMI port and create a super spiffy Sony ecosystem". Nope.
I'm not even bothering with a soundbar. Just will get a cheap with ARC and some half decent speakers.
The sony is now going for 290 pou nd not. 450 definitely would be worth that
2 things that should never happen together.
Toddler running + scissor LOL.
You sound like an idealist
@@neverenoughtech But you were the one that put it in my head haha. Keep up the great work! Can't wait to see the Cinema 1200 review!
Good content, but the cutesy inserts were a waste of time and annoying. You could have done this in halk the time.
Fuck everything, sound quality matters, and the cinema 600 sounds way better than the Sony one…
U sure ??
Klipsch win.
So nobody is giving it up for that kiddo saying 'Sony' in between?
🙂my goober
Sony no compersion
The Sonos Arc sucks / pure 1v1 sound - the 600 and Bose 700
Beat it.
Wow... I could have bought Cinema 600 for 1500 USD converted from indian rupee, without knowing it's in the same bracket as this sony model, which costs barely 450 USD
Wow... you live in a different country where prices are different... wow...
It's all made cheap in China.
Klipsch is made out of wood.
Not the bar ... some synthetic wood endcaps
