The quality and fidelity of the Klipsch is so tangible you could reach and pluck those sweet sound waves through the air…and I bet they taste like freshly baked cinnamon rolls. In the Skunk Lips song, the guitar strums and vocals have so much richness to them while hearing from the Detroit compared to the Extreme. Honestly I am super impressed. Was looking up for comparisons between the Marshall Middleton and Charge 5, then I discovered your video of the Detroit vs Charge 5. I’m pretty much sold on the Detroit already, but would love to see it compared to the Middleton. Thank you for putting in the work and uploading these sound tests.

Can you connect a Detroit with an Austin?

i already have flip 5,AKG,Marshall emberton 1,anker, not satisfied. im looking for bose or klipsch

For the price onn is the best

The blind test is new and refreshing. Glad to hear the outcome! edit: And yeah subb'ed for all your efforts.

Really appreciate how responsive you are in the comments and getting your hands on the latest equipments. How is the latency during video playback/movies when using a pair of Nashvilles in True Wireless Stereo mode? It's something that I haven't been able to find information on, but I suspect the extra processing would induce a noticeable delay, that would be a deal breaker for me. If I'm in search for sound quality and prioritises a wider sound stage over deep bass (I'd prefer a tight, snappy bass as opposed to a boomy one) mainly for the living room but may occasionally require portability, would you recommend a pair of Nashvilles on TWS or a solo Detroit (I think quite a few others have a similar question it'd be worth looking into)? It would be amazing, could even be the first on the internet, if you could do a direct comparison between the popular Nashville(s), Emberton II(s) and Soundlink Flex(s) (ahem, Tribits) in solo and paired mode, and how you think a pair might stack up against their larger, stereo, siblings. Cheers for the insightful review as always.

The klipsch battery is kinda meh. How’s the battery life compared to the JBL extreme3 ?

Great review

Love your channel.

I am torn. Two of Nashvilles paired up as a stereo OR One of The Detroit?

This is awesome effort! Good job bro, to me Klipsch is the clear winner even though it sounds a bit muffled but it has really good high's and a good reproduction of the audio.

I subscribed would like to win please, I would give the JBL Bluetooth speaker to my mother in law

The onn is not to bad for the price considering I'm actually listening to this on a 5 dollar no name brand Bluetooth speaker picked up from the side of the Walmart cash register. I've had this lil shen zen dns 5 dollar speaker for 6 years and treated it like a dog while doin yard work and front porch sittin and it still kickin well. I bet the onn will hold up decent.

Wow man the onn really held its own in that comparison not bad at all for the price

The tribit sound max plus 2 retails for $69.99 & would compare really well with the JBL. It’s rated at 30 watts & has a 24 hr battery life.

The retail on the flip is considerably high. The flip 6 retails for that much.

I may go buy an el cheapo onn speaker just for my back porch/back yard. just for a little cheap option for music for outside. also playing classical music for my garden hahaha

I do like the clip just for its portability and sound quality for the size... never bought any of the onn stuff for reasons you stated in the beginning of this video... im loving the videos man, keep up the good work.

There you go I subscribed and liked to help you out. Keep up the good work.

I feel like at times, brands like to charge for their name, but a lot of times it comes down to reputation and expertise, as well as staying power. Is the off brand going to be around in 5 years? You asked a lot of great questions, thanks for the video!

I just got the speaker. I am extremely picky with sound and so far I would say it’s amazing.

You must be getting sick of track 5 by now 😂

Comparison went as expected. For me at least.

Curious about the longterm durability of the onn though. I've owned a couple of onn speakers and they've always had the usb charge port break and make them useless. And I dont mean after alot of use. This is like weeks into ownership. My flip has been going strong without issue for probably a year now.

Klipsch is better. I have both. Hands down the Klipsch is leagues ahead. The Jbl is way too bright and way too much midbass. Even when taking it to the equalizer it doesn’t do much. I would write klipsch speaker sound of 9.5 out of 10 and the Jbl six out of 10. In person there is no contest

The Klipsch Detroit is twice the price of the Klipsch Nashville but is it worth the extra cost? I'm mostly concerned about sound quality - clarity, bass, treble that is not harsh or brittle, sound separation, etc.

Klipsch has been killin' it lately bro. I love my Austin and Nashville speakers, I use the Austin at work and I keep the Nashville in the garage. I just ordered the 2.1 Heritage speakers with the subwoofer to replace my old Logitech set for my gaming setup I'm sure it's gonna sound great. I've gone through quite a few JBL bluetooth speakers and I'm glad I switched over, the sound quality is superb I would compare it to Bose

It's seems at higher volumes the JBL starts to feel compressed and limited on range where the Klipsch started to stretch its legs a bit. Cool video.

So, you put the measurements of the flip as bigger than the Nashville, but then said the Nashville was taller and thicker... Were those measurements swapped?

Can you do a Detroit vs Groove XXL

Were the measurements off? The Klipsch looked bigger, but the measurements showed the Flip bigger🧐

I'd give the Detroit an edge on lifestyle due to the vulnerable radiators on the ends of the Charge. It was always a concern of mine when I had a Charge 5.

Really enjoying the comparison videos in your channel. There is a another brand that I am curious about in your reviews. Marshall, I've seen some portable speakers I was looking at and wanted to know your take. Keep up the great work.

I just got 2 of the Detroits and my favorite thing is by far separating them 30 feet apart on the Pickleball court. The soundstage is incredible for how small these guys are. I have a lot of high end gear, but for $600 bucks, you can’t get a better waterproof soundstage. Try it out guys, it is great! For a backpack set of speakers, I love them. Cheers

austin vs tribit micro 2 pls.

Dude excellent work! Starting a KZfaq channel is not easy but it looks like you got some pretty high standards.! It's taking my channel a long time to get where it is and I'm still pushing and fighting for it myself lol

How many decibels were they ?

Great review! I am looking for something to replace my JBL Charge after the battery failed after only 2 years of moderate use. I am a fan of the Klipsch sound signature, so I'm going to pick one of these up!

Pure and natural sound is boring… it seems that Klipsh has not yet learned to reconcile sound quality with fun. Harman/k, JBL, BOSE, etc know how to make portable speakers to sound as they should.

I went on Crutchfield’s website, & according to the specifications, it states 15 x 2 wattage for the Detroit. I hope this isn’t accurate. $299.99 for a 30 watt speaker? They can do better for that price. I’ve never listened to it, & I’m sure it sounds good, but it still doesn’t change the fact that it’s a 30 watt speaker for $299.99.

Detroit seems too bright.

They sound quite different.

i have a question for a video could you put up two Nashvilles vs 1 Detroit. because i’m on the fence. should i get a det or should i get two nashvilles 🤓

Thank you for your effort dude! And your thoughts.

I'm a subscriber, and I try to catch all of your reviews. That being said, what the hell are you listening to? I used to be a lead tech for the biggest AV company in the world. I never left a job without testing the sound with some Steely Dan or some Pink Floyd. Something that will test the dynamic range. Just saying. Keep at it 💪

Would love a Detroit vs marshall Middleton comparison. Thank you for the reviews!!

Great review !! Subscribed

If your trying to grow your channel.. show us through the outside test instead of showing images with no sound. Also display the speakers more instead of camera centered on you mostly. Other wise great video.

Already had the Klipsch Austin for the past 4 months and recently purchased the Nashville. Hate to say the Nashville lacks the clarity of the Austin. Even in the bass department the Austin is almost on par with the Nashville.

This is a perfect example of how all speaker comparisons should be done. Keep up the good work, Bud 👌🏽
