Klipsch - Flexus CORE 200 Sound System

Klipsch Core 200 and put it in front of the stand on the TV

I thought the same with mine, but it actually sits just below the screen and doesn’t interfere with the screen or remote.

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.

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.

Klipsch Core 200 is a good all in one unit. It has integrated subwoofers as well. Check youtube reviews; the bass surprised most people. When on sale (a lot of times) its around $400. Don't buy soundbars that claim to have 7 or 8+ "channels" in just the bar alone. Atmos alone is a gimmick on most soundbars, let alone those that claim they can produce surround sound without surrounds.

Q930B isn’t besting a klipsch flexus core 200. this thing has 9 drivers and two built in subs and it punches way above its weight class at its current price.

Yea I didn’t even think of that. Why the hell does the surr 200 rear speakers gonna cost more than the flex core 200 sound bar with the 100sw. I have the 200 bar and 100sw along with the surr 100’s but thinking of returning the 100’s and upgrading to the 200’s during the return window. Just not sure if it’s worth it. Probably not and just piece of mind that I got the best that was offered other than the core 300 that I didn’t even know was an option when I bought my core 200. I got that in a open box buy but brand new rear 100’s

I have Samsung q70r (2020) and Klipsch flexus core 200. For me (not expert at all), the sound is acceptable in both Soundbars.

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.

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.

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.

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 👍🏽👍🏽

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.

Trust me. It can easily blow your living room.

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.

Klipsch Core 200 kicks ass. I love mine so much. Bluetooth connectivity is a bit.. fickle, at times, which is disappointing to say the least, but is only a problem when streaming Spotify from my phone, and even then it's fine 99% of the time. Stings seeing it for $100 more than what I purchased it for Christmas of '24 though.. No sub attached to mine, by the way, and the bass this thing pumps out is almost sexually arousing. Fucking massive.

It gets loud as hell. Never, do I need to go above 60%, and even that is near deafening.

Klipsch is a fucking beast.

I do. I love it. Bluetooth connectivity is my only gripe. Sometimes I have to leave my phone unobstructed within 10 feet or so, if I want to stream Spotify. Other times, I can stroll around the house with my phone in my pocket without issue. Maybe it's a phone issue - I don't know. Other than that, it's a thing of beauty. Full, intricate, and sharp sound. Bass is so fuckin sexy on this thing. You can hear it out in the yard, with the doors and windows shut, just at mid volume, and it's so fucking deep and smooth. Looks good too. And it's ultra wide too, so you really can get a stereo image just from the soundbar alone, without satellite speakers. What sucks is that it's more than $100 more expensive now than it was when I purchased it over a year ago.

Side note, and a bit of a funny thing, but the very first thing I played on it, was "All I Need" by Radiohead, and I was genuinely disappointed because I heard this like static, crackling, fuzz type artifact, so I complained about the speaker's sound quality. I came to realize that the song is imbued with that effect, and I had just never listened to it on a speaker that presented it with such clarity, so that it was discernable.

I keep dialogue boost at max, and I'm happy with the performance there. I watched Tenet last month, and found it distinguishable, but I keep subtitles on, so make of that what you will.

I bought my Klipsch Core 200 on sale for $350. It has eARC, and I watch all of my programming through it. It's incredible. I only use Bluetooth to stream Spotify.

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

Yes, definitely E-arc. Arc has limited bandwidth so can impact sound quality and sync. I run a Bose IQ soundbar and it sounds incredible with Netflix Atmos or “spacial” sound. Maybe its compressed, but the bitrate is high and Bose does an excellent job of cleaning it up…arguably one of the best for dialog clarity which you are seeking. Very easy to use and while you can add the rears and a sub the bar itself is excellent. I’d also recommend the Klipsch Flexus core 200 at a lower pricepoint. Was not happy with music performance or Samsung, overpriced sub par products.
