Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Off-axis, it sounds like most tweeters, but in the sweet spot area, there's a vigorous crispness to the treble. Klipsch handles the whole spectrum with fidelity and ease. Good bass but not overpowering sound.

Klipsch g-17 is the best airplay speaker and sound bar out there at that price. I am very happy with the looks, performance, and convenience of the wireless speakers.

The fact that the firmware update added so much functionality at all clearly shows the professionalism of the company and their ability to stand behind their products. There are still members of the kilpsch support community actively answering queries...  Read More

The remote control is very handy if you place this item out of the way. Power supply is separate from the unit and has a separate cord to the plug.

Klipsch iphone app is a good way to set up an ios device. There is also an independent application for windows pcs, airfoil.



Cons

This speaker is very unreliable when used via airplay. Setting up the speaker for wireless use is a real pain. It's always been terribly tricky to get it onto wi-fi.

Klipsch g17-air wi-fi router is very difficult to use. Frequent loss of connectivity. No forums or easy-to-use tutorials.

It's not for everyone. Totally untrue. Not convenient. Imo, look elsewhere.

I wish klipsch would admit to the faulty equipment. The app no longer works and you cannot set up via your phone. Klipsch support is overloaded with support requests - probably all dealing with the app and connectivity issues.

Great quality and amazing sound, easy set up with the app.

Now that the price is so low, it's really an exceptional value.


The sound is fantastic and the price even better.

I run 2 along with a denon airplay reciever hooked up to a pair of wall speakers in the same room.

    Need a good wireless router for it to work perfectly


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I thought id leave a comment explaining how to update the firmware on the unit since it seems to resolve a lot of the connectivity issues while using airplay


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Downloaded the firmware update and just as people had commented numerous times the thing would not update


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Attempted numerous times to install the update but the speaker would just disconnect right before uploading the file


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Followed the instructions time and time again and nothing i tried would let me finish the upload


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    What finally worked for me was using the actual ip address my router was giving the speaker instead of the ip address that came on the speakers upgrade instructions


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    After i connected the speaker to my wireless network i went into my routers admin page and looked up the ip address my router had given the speaker i then used that ip address to access the speakers configuration page then it finally let me upload the new firmware
