Expensive and versatile, the Klipsch Fives offer an expressive sound – although they aren't the most revealing or nuanced of listens
Rich, inviting, powerful sound ; Hi-res audio support ; Nice aesthetics ; Versatile connectivity
Pricey ; Not the most incisive performance
Expensive and versatile in similar amounts, these Klipsch wireless speakers offer a rich and expressive-sounding experience – although they lack a degree of nuance and subtlety. Since they first launched, other similarly specced and cheaper options...

A one-stop shop for home audio
Punchy presentation ; Good features set ; Versatile nature
Uneven tonality ; Not the most organised presentation
The Fives offer sonic performance to match their lengthy feature list, if not exactly their ambitious moniker

Part of Klipsch's Heritage Wireless series, The Fives sets out to give a tiny taste of what it's like to own a grown-up Klipsch without having to drop £12,000 on the La Scala AL5.

Review of the Klipsch The Fives Powered loudspeaker
Spacious and surprisingly deep sound ; Useful connectivity ; Very well made
Limited upgrade path ; Dynamic Bass EQ needs to be turned off ; Not terribly inspiring in black

The soundbar was born as an easy plug-and-play solution to offer good audio quality in a simple device that didn't ask you to pick up a degree in audio design from the local community college. Soundbars have since come to dominate home theater audio,...
Powerful, balanced, true stereo sound Excellent multimedia audio experience Stellar phantom center channel Beautiful design Multiple connection options
May not fit in every home theater setup
The Fives are an audiophile’s dream packed in a soundbar killer. Not only will they outperform a single soundbar solution, but they’ll give multi-speaker soundbar systems a run for their money. If you care about this quality of your home theater sound,...

The Fives from Klipsch look and sound fantastic, with far more connectivity options than your standard pair of bookshelf speakers.

The Klipsch Fives are a complete audio system that includes everything the buyer needs to bring great sound to the home or office.
Appearance and Cork Base ; Compact Size ; Full Range Sound ; Ease of Operation
I can highly recommend the Klipsch Fives for any listening environment in-home or office. The Fives have huge reserves of performance and sound.

Ever since 1946, when Paul Klipsch began selling his patented Klipschorn speakers, the company that bears his name has been inextricably linked with horn-based designs. As he discovered a decade earlier while comparing horn-loaded and cone-based...
Smooth, refined, sophisticated sound Extensive connection options Extremely well built
Bass is slightly overemphasized, sometimes a bit bloated Mids and highs are often a tad recessed or even slightly veiled LED indicators are hard to see if you're directly in front of the speakers
The Fives present a smooth, refined sound that's a bit bass-heavy with slightly recessed mids and highs.

Well-playing and dynamic alternative to soundbars, with balanced sound, powerful bass and many inputs. Easy to use for the whole family.

Expert review by : Bob Ankosko (soundandvision.com)
I'm all about simplicity so I welcomed The Fives with open arms. A follow-up to The Sixes Klipsch introduced a couple years ago, the new speakers are smaller and take connectivity to the next level with the addition of an ARC (audio return...
Versatile Easy to set up Solid construction Good sound with powerful bass
No tone controls
The Fives accommodate a variety of audio setups without the need for an outboard amp or receiver and deliver pleasing sound with rich, powerful bass.
