Klipsch The Austin Portable Bluetooth Speaker with a 1.5" Full Range Driver, IP67 dust and Waterproof Rating, 12 Hours of Playtime for a Premium Live Concert Experience

This speaker is fantastic!The sound quality is excellent for a single driver speaker. The bass is rich and deep (for the size), the mids are present and the highs are crisp. Overall, I’d say the sound signature is warm and has great clarity. The app also allows you to adjust the EQ for bass, mid and treble (3-band); though I would like to see a 10-band EQ for more fine-tuning. The 3-band EQ is sufficient for a speaker of this form-factor though.The fit and finish on these speakers is great! They are very aesthetically and ergonomically pleasing. The rubber coating is comfortable in the hand and reduces vibration when placed on a hard surface. I like the strap, but time will tell how durable it is. It seems sturdy enough though.The call quality is great as well. It seems to have noise-cancellation to prevent echo when using the speaker as a speaker phone.I’m a sucker for true wireless stereo (TWS) so I actually bought 2 of these. For anyone wondering, once they are paired in TWS mode, they will automatically pair in TWS mode when powered on. The buttons are also synced with one another when paired in TWS mode. The volume +/- controls both speakers and the power button only has to be pressed on one of the speakers and both will turn off. Nice!I only have a couple gripes. The first is the function tones. They are pleasant, but excessively long in duration in my opinion. They can be turned off in the app, but I would prefer to keep them on and just have more subtle tones. Maybe this is something Klipsch can update in a future firmware release.The second is the lack of a next/previous track button. It’s not a deal-breaker for me, but may be for others.I’m no stranger to Bluetooth speakers. I have dozens of speakers from JBL, Sony, Soundcore and others. The Klipsch Austin stood out to me. It will be my new go-to travel speaker for sure!Overall, I’d highly recommend the Klipsch Austin. It would make a great gift for friends and family. They will not be disappointed!

The Klipsch Austin Portable Bluetooth Speaker is an absolute gem that I’m thrilled I bought, filling my kitchen with incredible, concert-like sound that makes cooking so much more fun. It’s super easy to carry around with its lightweight design and handy strap, so I can pop it on the counter and keep the music flowing while I’m whipping up culinary delights. Pairing it with my phone via Bluetooth is a snap, connecting in seconds without any fuss. Plus, it lasts for hours and can handle a few kitchen splashes, making it a fantastic buy that I’d recommend to anyone wanting awesome sound on the go!

The rubber on the back isn't tough enough for jogging with.But awesome product.

Austin better than Nashville? I have a variety of speakers, and thought would give Klipsch a try. I ordered first the Nashville, did not think it had much punch to it, so gave the Austin a chance, and a major improvement!!! Am playing classical opera from a cd and superb sound, especially with the phone app equalizer, customize ti suit your needs. Couple minor issues are the poor visibility of the buttons, and this some sort of strap that I will never use. Superb sound, solid unit. Both austin and Nashville are great cities, but I will go with Austin!

Great speaker from a great American company. For me? Not enough bass. I moved way up in klipsch series.

If you are on the fence about this don’t be. I love the sound quality that comes out of this small but hefty klipsch speaker. The battery life isn’t too bad and I love the fact that it has an app controlled eq as well. And last but not least you can connect several different ones and place them in different rooms of your house/apartment. Coming from a salesman who used to sell this amazing brand back in the day it certainly didn’t disappoint as I knew it wouldn’t. Buy this Klipsch speaker you won’t regret it!!

The media could not be loaded. If you get this on sale, know that you’re a thief! What a steal! You absolutely will not find a better speaker for the current sale price. When you get it, you will be tricked into a fake disappointing at the lack of bass (naturally I tried my hardiest, bassist tracks first)…. But within a few tracks you will understand that the projection and crystal clarity, along with the successful attempt at sound stage separation in a microspeaker vastly outweighs your love for a crispy, deep bass. Even at the full price of $80 it’s 100% worth it. Unfortunately, I would likely never have bitten the bullet and given it a chance despite already having interest from watching all the YouTube reviews. If you’re curious and it’s in your budget, just do it! (Stop using credit and YouTube the Dave Ramsey baby steps if you want to change your life) From someone who over-researches, I promise I would be absolutely shocked if you are not in love with this speaker. Just make sure it works in the situations you will be using it most. I wanted something easy and small yet big in sound to move out to the porch or lawn when doing yard work. I have their $2000+ reference HD theater speakers, so trust me, I appreciate quality speakers. Obviously better quality speakers exist, but what I’m saying is for $80 it doesn’t get better. Just don’t expect to feel bass in your chest. As someone who appreciates neutrality but generally demands a crunchy bass, I can forget about that if the overall sound is spectacular. Bass doesn’t matter here. Especially given you can fit it in the pocket of super stretchy joggers while mowing the lawn, haha. Anyway, do it!

As always Klipsch delivers without fail. This speaker lasted multiple days at the beach on loud with one charge. The sound is unmatched for something of this size and the EQ feature on the app really make it customizable. We attached it to our beach cart and chairs and never questioned the quality. Would buy a couple more to pair them for a total experience! They aren't called the Keepers of Sound for nothing. (buy the speaker!)
