"A good robovac is a life changer. Even a $350 basic S8. It is a great place to start. ... I promise you that you will not be disappointed by a basic S8. It will change your life even if it can't fit under every piece of furniture you own. ... My two S8s just finished vacuuming our entire house in about 46 minutes. ... While my floors were being cleaned, I sat comfortably on our patio in the cool shade with a slight breeze and composed my far too long response to you while sipping a diet soda and relaxing. ... I will have to spend about four minutes maintaining my two S8s. This will be my entire contribution to my home floor cleaning effort for today. Four minutes!"
"Like 500$ these robots are currently the steal of the century ... You can get a mova p10 pro ultra (cannot remove its mops), equivalent to the l40/x40 for 500$ after a discount code"
"I got the Q5 Pro for $139. ... costs $450 less than what I paid for the S6 ... it is the best value option out there imo."

"Noble fokus rex5 best sounding change my mind. ... Five drivers per ear bud game changing for sure ... Yes, you're so right. They are by far number one. ... There may be a few airbuds that get better battery a little bit, better ANC but right now my two cents worth, there's nothing on a planet that sounds better than these. ... I have all the heavy hitters. The techniques 80/100 Sony 4 and 5 sennheisers 3 and 4 and the Devialet gemini II. ... Ronontech on YouTube did a review on the Aviot a few days ago. I belive he liked the Nobels better. ... Also on YouTube, check out Flossie Carter review on the Nobles, he went absolutely nuts. Best sounding wireless earbuds he has ever heard."
"As for gaming I'd probably rank them 1. A50 ... As for music I'd rank them 1. A50 ... And for movies I would rank them 1. A50."
"these fifth generation A50s sound better than anything I’ve ever used. ... New DAC, new Graphene drivers, really nice sounding."

"the dragon 12s are closer to REL 8/12 subs. ... No soundbar has anything close to this sub available. ... The 12s alone make this system untouchable by any other home theater in a box. No comparison!! ... Couple the 12”subs into the experience, you’re not getting that experience short of Svs sub territory. ... It’s a house shaking, chest thumping experience that is not able to be reproduced by any other soundbar or home theater in a box. ... Adding the two 12s to the 8s really has taken the system to the next level. ... The house literally shakes now with honest chest thumping levels. ... BTW, the 12s are RELs! ... The 90 lbs behemoths in the room! ... The chuffing from the 8s many reviewers have noted is gone when used with the 12s."
"nothing trust me nothing will literally hit u that hard not even Canelo Alvarez"
"IER not having absolutely incredible bass is objectively BS. ... The bass reading on the IER is so off what you'll actually hear if you have them inserted properly, it's absolutely ridiculous. ... I have Fatfreq Maestro SE CIEM'D which are their heaviest hitting premium model - CIEM-ing it only make the bass hit much harder, and it's still not quite as heavy as the IER."

"The soundstage is impressively wide, I've had times it felt there were speakers beyond the bar (not behind but to the sides, & keep in mind I'm not using Atmos at all, just basic optical port)."
"Q symphony is amazing. ... With the first two bars, you could clearly tell the sound was coming from below the TV… q symphony fixes that completely."
"And if I'm honest I think this bar has an incredible soundstage. ... I was watching something the other day and something was happening to the left off screen & it was madly impressive how much I actually thought there seemed to be a whole separate speaker actually making the sound instead of the bar."

"So awesome that it's backwards compatible like that and not just forced to use same model wireless subs and Rears. ... But since I already have a decent wired Polk 10" sub, that'll do just fine until then. ... When it gets here, I'm curious to see if any of my existing wired surrounds may also work with it, in the mean time. ... The fact that other speakers can connect with it, subs & even surrounds! Nice!"
"be sure to get the klipsch connect plus app to get more controls by the way. It depends on your room of course, but for my room I like the sub volume (not bass, sub volume adjust in the app) just a nudge higher at +1, bass + 2 for most music, and in movie mode the majority of the time. ... Changing the treble settings and maybe the mids a bit should help get you the crisp sound you’re looking for too since by default it’s a pretty warm signature."
"App controls work very well."

"the dialogue is way too quiet."
"dialogue was way too low, especially when listening to media in Dolby (5.1 or Atmos). ... Setting Dialogue Mode to high barely helped, and it came with the unfortunate side effect of messing with other sounds, like trumpets on an orchestral piece. ... The only way to control this huge discrepancy in dynamic range was to tell my TV to output in PCM, but even then it wasn't enough. ... most of the listening in the living room TV is kids shows/movies on Disney+ (and similar). ... I do think that if my living room was bigger, the big sound would have space to go and would not make the dynamic range sound as extreme as it does."

"I did end up adding the sub though."
"I sense the crossover is a little high to make the bass sound good even without the sub, but I do wish we had more control over that setting."
"I'm a big bass fan, so I'm going to add wired subwoofers beside the rear sofa to feel more bass."
Klipsch Core 200 and put it in front of the stand on the TV
r/Soundbars • Best soundbar for this space? ->I thought the same with mine, but it actually sits just below the screen and doesn’t interfere with the screen or remote.
r/Soundbars • Best soundbar for this space? ->I’m pretty happy with my Klipsch Flexus Core 200. I’m not running a sub or rears. And for the cost, hard to beat.
r/Soundbars • What is the best AIO sound bar currently if you don’t plan to use surround speakers? ->I purchased the Klipsch Flexus Core Soundbar 200, pair of Subwoofers 100, and surround 100. The sound is amazing once you've ever paired to Soundbar 200, which took some time to get, but I'm a big bass fan, so I'm going to add wired subwoofers beside the rear sofa to feel more bass.
r/Soundbars • Anyone else using the Klipsch Flexus Core 200? ->I also have the flexus core 200, only the soundbar and it sounds really amazing. Even without the sub 100, movies and series sound really good. The soundbar on is own already has enough bass for me. I'm thinking of buying the surr 100 for a complete surround setup, 5.1.2 channel.
r/Soundbars • Looking at the Sonos Arc Ultra, Ambeo Plus, Sony Bar 8, Samsung Q930D, and Flexus Core 200. Which is best for tv shows/movies? What should be eliminated from consideration? ->Klipsch flexus core with a sub. Fantastic value with ability to add surround if you’d like down the road
r/bravia • Planning on a bravia 7 purchase & looking for Soundbar advice ->Klipsch Flexus Core 200 hands down no contest
r/hometheater • Best soundbar? ->I got the flexus 210 from bestbust for 599. Seen them on sale for same price recently. I got the surr 100s for 200. I’ve been blown away by it so far and the sub hits hard when you put it in the right spot. It’s a big upgrade from an older 5.1.2 Vizio model
r/Soundbars • Bose or Sonos?! ->I have Samsung q70r (2020) and Klipsch flexus core 200. For me (not expert at all), the sound is acceptable in both Soundbars.
r/Soundbars • Best sound bar without rear ->Ignore looks, prioritize audio Quality. Most people recommend here would Samsung Q990D. I personally own an older model from Samsung and a new Klipsch Flexus Core. I like the sound of the Samsung better than the Klipsch. Bose, LG and JBL are recognized brands, but I haven't seen many people recommend them.
r/Soundbars • Best premium soundbar in 2025? ->Extensive experience: Q70r (2021) + 9200s (surround). Less than 1 week (as of today) Klipsch Flexus core 200 (soundbar only, nsurround, no subwoofer) So far both show crystal-clear dialogues. I've noticed that the wrong settings (not using 5.1 or Dolby Atmos) mix channels resulting in poor audio not only for dialogue, but for other elements of sound. My two cents.
r/Soundbars • Which soundbars do you have real-world experience with, or have reliable info about , that help with dialogue clarity? ->Regarding Klipsch Core 200... - No WiFi nor Ethernet. - Single HDMI port. - No support for DTS. This may o may not be an issue depending on your setup. I own a Core 200 + Surr 100 + 2x Sub 100 system. I can confirm it sounds really good.
r/Soundbars • Sonos Beam 2 or Klipsch Flexus Core 200? ->I have the Core 200+Surr 100+ 2xSub100. I think it's great. Here's a few things you must know: - WiFi interference may create crackling noises in the Subs. This is solved by using a wired connection or placing your Sub away from your router. - No WiFi nor Ethernet connectivity. - No support for DTS. If none of this is an issue for you, then congratulations, you have a great system that sounds great 👍🏽👍🏽
r/Soundbars • Anyone have experience with the Klipsch Flexus Core 210 that has the 10” sub included? Adorama has it for $429 new, couldn’t resist. ->This is only necessary if you hear some weird noises at specific frequencies. I recommend that you test it first in case you need to buy a cable. In most cases, just relocating the Sub (or the router) will suffice. Edit: my Sub is sitting less than 1/2 meter away from my router. Thus, I had to use a cable. However, the same Sub didn't show any issues when placed 2+ meters away from the router.
r/Soundbars • Anyone have experience with the Klipsch Flexus Core 210 that has the 10” sub included? Adorama has it for $429 new, couldn’t resist. ->Trust me. It can easily blow your living room.
r/Soundbars • Anyone have experience with the Klipsch Flexus Core 210 that has the 10” sub included? Adorama has it for $429 new, couldn’t resist. ->Klipsch Flexus Core 200 is the easy choice at that price range. For dialog clarity, get an Appletv4K and turn on the enhanced dialog feature. It works way better than any dialing enhancing feature on a soundbar itself.
r/Soundbars • Which soundbars do you have real-world experience with, or have reliable info about , that help with dialogue clarity? ->Klipsch Flexus Core 200 has been on pretty sweet for me. I opted for a wired RSL Speedwoofer 10E instead of the Klipsch Flexus sub 100… setup is very solid.
r/Soundbars • Getting Discouraged ->I thought that I would be able to also, just assumed it had a spot to plug in a wire, never looked. Didn’t realize that there was no plug until the Flexus came in and I was setting it up. I was quite annoyed to say the least bc they were running a hell or a deal at bestbuy with the Flexus 200 and the sub 100 for like $550 I think, so I would have done that. All worked out though bc it led me to the Speedwoofer and it all sounds amazing.
r/Soundbars • Getting Discouraged ->Read some reviews on the Klipsch Core 200. I've owned one for 2 months now. The bass can be heard outside of the house beyond the halfway mark. I love it.
r/Soundbars • Which soundbars (without sub) have the deepest and thightest low end? ->In an open floorplan the Samsung offerings will sound weak. I returned the Q990, as the bass “tuning” could not handle a similar open floor plan with cathedral ceiling. Could never find a setting for the EQ/surround processing that worked well for everything. Surround effects were great, but this bar does not do well in larger spaces. The Klipsch flexus will be the best of your list….bar has excellent bass by itself, subwoofer is solid and is tuned well for all content types. Also sounds great with music where I found the Samsung lacking warmth….. my tuning preference leans towards Bose products so YMMV. As you noted the Klipsch also can handle a different brand/size sub should you want to upgrade/expand in future….but I DOUBT most people would need to
r/Soundbars • Samsung vs Klipsch vs Polk vs TCL (maybe) thoughts ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
