" ... As you may notice with a lot of bluetooth speakers, they sound nice when you're up close and personal but begin to lose bass and detail when you need to fill a room with it. ... The truth is that if you expect concert level gut wrenching bass and perfect clarity of audio at a distance from something like this you are being unrealistic. ... "
" ... I'm surprised Klipsch would put its name on something with a sound quality lower than bose - but still, very good price and good sound for the price. ... "
" ... Since changing my recording device, the bass does not drown out my professors' voices anymore). ... "
" ... It has righteous bass, but not overpowering ear fatiquing mid bass. ... Everything is balanced and the bass is actually bass. ... "
" ... Good bass and decent highs but it is slightly off in the mid-range. ... "
" ... Klipsch speakers seem to have the best balanced sound out there. ... "

" ... Now, it's not even working when plugged in. ... "
" ... It just times out and turns off after 5 seconds or so. ... eventually it will "ignite", but only after a dozen attempts. ... I am working on a theory that this might be due to the speak shutting itself off after Alexa is stopped. ... "
" ... The hissing and popping persists. ... "
" ... The bluetooth after a few months doesn't work. ... Almost never works. ... "
" ... and it stopped working in Mar 2017. ... "
" ... Within a month of using it, the charging port on the speaker itself has stopped working. ... I tried that several times as well, no luck. ... "
" ... But once it was turned off, it wouldn't connect again unless I went through the restoration process again. ... I'm not dealing with a defective product, especially from a company that appears to be much better than this product. ... PS I only listened to the Groove for about 15 minutes due to the connectivity problems. ... "
" ... After 5 months the piece of garbage won't charge don't waste your money on this overpriced piece of junk ... "

" ... It is a little heavy for its size, very deceiving but that's just because it is a well built quality item. ... "
" ... It feels like a quality piece of electronics (especially if you equate heavy with expensive or quality). ... This is a good company with good support and I believe they put love into the things they build, and some (if not all) of their products are made in the USA. ... "

" ... Great little portable battery powered speaker. ... "
" ... The charging port is now a micro USB, a nice change from the kmc1 which had its own style charger . ... One less charger to pack! ... "
" ... Battery life is honestly close to the advertised hours and the unit "fast charges" over usb. ... I cannot say how much I appreciate this working on the same charger as my cellphone - and charging so fast. ... "
" ... It sounds similar to my JBL Charge 3, but that speaker is still better. ... "
" ... It also holds a charge longer than any others I've tried and charges quickly. ... "

" ... Also, the buttons are nearly impossible to distinguish without really good lighting. ... "
" ... It would not turn on and reconnect unless I hit the factory reset sequence buttons. ... "
" ... my main gripes would be the rubber buttons on top are hard to read and you have to learn by feel which ones do what. ... "
" ... The buttons are very hard to see. ... "
" ... only way to get the blue tooth to connect is to do a hard restart everytime, holding power button for 25 seconds just to get it to stay on with bluetooth and connect. ... "
" ... Only a restoration of the factory settings via holding down the power button for many seconds would allow the unit to stay on and connect to my devices. ... "
" ... Four and not 5 stars only because the control buttons are very hard to see and impossible to see at night. ... No back lights for pause and volumes, ... Love it except hard to see volume and other controls. ... "
" ... Right now I only have one complaint and it’s the buttons. ... They chose to choose a dark grey pad for buttons and it makes a little difficult to see them if it is little dark you can see a thing. ... I had to use a flashlight to see buttons clearly. ... "

" ... Extremely portable, and its loud enough to the point where its not obtrusive to others around (per se a hotel room). ... "
" ... It's setting on my desk now, and it looks about perfect for a desk speaker. ... "
" ... As in, I am by myself at home or with one other person and we are very close to the speaker in a smaller-ish room. ... This thing is shines when it needs to fill a large room during a party or social gathering. ... This thing holds up remarkably well over distances and in large rooms and that is its advantage. ... "
" ... It is good for bigger room also. ... "
