Wondering about this vs Klipsh KMC1; although different form factor this has 4x battery+radio -could be better choice for camping? sound quality?

I love this machine. I would guess it depends on weather you are going to be hiking or driving. This is pretty hefty. I am not knowledgeable about the Klipsh.

I can respond on the sound quality part... It says in the owners manual to have the unit volume all the way up and then tune up your music source. I use it for my Zumba (R) classes and sounds great at a higher volume level. I love it!

that's depends what do you want. In my experience, i have stay with more than 20 people and we enjoying the music. But the sound dont compare with a component, remember its a speaker, if you want more power i recommended you buy the fugoo xl. Now in my experience i did stay in a campament without energy and I went with my fugoo speaker and one friend with bosse sound link III , in 4 hours the sound link was off and my fugoo was continued play music all weekend.

Not knowing your application it's hard to say. For me, I think the K10's are really powerful and a great form factor. I think an awesome solution would be to add a subwoofer. I think they call it the K-Sub. That setup would cover it all!

Honestly I have own a number of blutooth speakers.A33 the sound clarity is not bad.Good but the bass is very boomy.Too powerful bass.Presently now I strongly recommend Creative Roar. Price at US 149.Friendly users. The clarity is good with Roar button on.It provides better sound.Run with high volume battery last better than A33.You can even mount on the bicycle with simple modifications.

yes, i was amazed by the amount of sound and how good the bass was. and it's water resistant enough to leave out in the rain. (i wouldn't leave it in wet sand though) as for runtime, you'll get several hours out of it, though if course that can vary with the volume. and also, the battery life is nearly double if you use the headphone jack instead of bluetooth wireless.

The KMC 3 is about the size of a loaf of bread, but a little bigger. It has a handle on top that makes it very easy to carry. I haven't heard the KMC 1, but I can't recommend the KMC 3 any more highly. I would say that if sound quality is your highest criteria, the increase in size won't be a factor. It's an amazing speaker.

I like my Sharp a lot ! And it is the latest in a long history of boom boxes. It has a great deep bass sound and gets LOUD !However, I am not too happy with the radio reception (NPR). It is very big,for a shelf type unit. I still like my older Sony Z-plod units. So I would consider cost, size, and use. the Sharp would eat a lot of batteries if off grid. But I do like it ! Might take some getting used to.

What they said. Aura has better sound quality, if you'll be using near an outlet, it is the better choice. If you need battery operation, portability go with Onyx.

None is better than the other. Both units will rattle anything in its sonic path. I would recommend anti-vibration pads on any decor that is vertical. At his price range, you can't go wrong with either. I know from experience that Polk customer service is top notch. I haven't dealt with Klipsch customer service so far.

I went to BB to listen to the Klipsch with a variety of different receivers and I would say go with the Energy RC micro's. I think they sound much better and it's odd since they are the same company. I paired my speakers with the Onkyo sr 507 and its sounds great.

The output is in stereo. That is one of the major features that caused me to pull the trigger. I think that the battery life is very good for the sound quality. I have a smaller bluetooth speaker that is mono, but has better battery life. Compared with older CD boom boxes, you will be very pleased with the battery life.

Dear Thomas,Thanks so much for your inqiury. Speakers are such an individual choice--both the Energy and Definitive are excellent choices. Definitive satellites may be a tad larger and a little fuller sound, but everyone's ear is different! Let me know if I can be of any additional assistance. Regards,Eric CohenWorld Wide Stereo

I had a chance to compare Rumble to Klipsch KMC 3. Rumble had more clarity, better bass as a r result better sound!!!! But it does not have any kind of battery. That is a big disappointment. On the other side if you don't care about batteries and only sound take a close look at Marshall speakers like Stanmore or Hanwell speakers, they sound just as good and probably even better!!! I had a chance to listen to them and they sounded like WOW, WOOOW.... but I did not compare them with Rumble side by side, as they were in a different shop. You can order both Rumble and Marshal, compare and keep the one you like most and return the other. I had a chance to compare Rumble to Klipsch KMC 3.

Mike- I bought one last year and it's by far the best portable I've purchased. Not sure what you're using it for, but they do put off a lot of "clear" sound... Definitely loud enough for the beach, bbqs, and everyday use... I bought mine for $90 and it's worth every penny... Even though they're only $30 now...

The question above is the critical one - you can alwys spend more and get better. BUT let me add this: for an immediate, and mind-blowing upgrade at less than 15 bucks, go out and get yourself a pair of Koss KSC75s. They are light on the ears, small, and easy to transport. However, they sound incredible not only "at this price range" but in their own right. Get that purchase over with and then you can think about whether you want to spend more or not. But trust me on this, for most folks the Koss's are fantastic. You won't be disappointed. No I don't work for Koss, but I'd be willing to. Koss KSC75 Portable Stereophone Headphones

What is your use? Is it for a large outdoor installation? How far away are the speakers from the audience/listeners? The Klipsch AW-650 are pretty efficient, but I can tell you more with better specifics. Thanks,

I Have both and they both sound great! Klipsch go a little louder, but I have no complaints with either. My Klipsch are about 8 years old and still playing, Logitechs about 2. Go by price.
