Does anyone know why this was discontinued by Klipsch?

Being replaced by a new model R-20B. It looks like they changed the models to integrate Bluetooth now, as they did with the SB 1 and then the R-10B.

I'm guessing Amazon ran out since it says "Ships from and sold by Crutchfield". I bought one on Friday and it was still Amazon at that point. Sorry and good luck!

Better sound in the discontinued model, and it is bluetooth. Not sure why it was discomtinued.

These have a limited two year warranty; all is needed is to contact either the seller you purchased from, Klipsch themselves, or if your seller was Amazon then contact Amazon. Amazon will go above and beyond for you though. Edit: Klipsch will take longer to actually ship a replacement.

They already announced the launch of ATH-ANC7b. This is 2nd generation of these headphones, so that's the reason why they discontinued this model

That is a good question...sorry I can't exactly answer it. Curiously, Klipsch's website says these speakers are "Available exclusively at Best Buy and Klipsch.com in the U.S." &lt;----- no Amazon.com listed. Maybe that has something to do with the pricing difference, but I'm just guessing.

Hello Bull21, Klipsch GiG uses the Bluetooth 2.1 standard. All Bluetooth audio features are supported by 2.1. The Bluetooth 4.0 spec adds support for low-power sensors, remote controls, etc. that have no bearing on the audio performance of GiG or any other Bluetooth audio device. Does this help?

I just bought one, still running Android 2.1, and literally half of the buttons are currently working; play/pause and skip forward (not reverse). Volume up/down and skip back are all failing to work. Honestly, I don't care. These things sound amazing. I'm no audiophile, and have always laughed at those that get all nerdy about it, but I really could hear a drastic difference when I switched. Worth $100? Not to me, not really, but I'm sick of dealing with companies that do not back their products with some type of warranty or support. Hopefully Klipsch will solve that problem.

Klipsch has been absolutely terrible on warranty issues that I've experienced. I've been a Klipsch an since the 70s, but their corporate structure has taken a huge turn for the worse. I hope you have better luck than I've had.

I understand they have been discontinued!! We set them back because one speaker would not take a charge. Returned no problem

Depends who you buy it from. I bought mine on Amazon but apparently the seller was not an authorized Klipsh dealer, so when the left ear stopped working 3 months later, Klipsh would not replace them and the seller is no where to be found. Very expensive lesson.

I replaced a Velodyne which originally sold for $2500 years ago and the Klipsch does an great job in a large living room.I am not familiar with the other brands except Polk which I use for outside speakers.

I had the same question when buying my Klipsch speakers. When talking to the Klipsch people I was told that the technology for the quintet systems were all the same and that they would all sound the same. They gave me the impression that there weren't different versions (only one Klipsch quintet). I'm not quite sure if this was true or which version I have, if there are different versions of the quintet, but the ones I got sound good and I purchased them from Amazon about 6 months ago.

There's NO new version of KLIPSCH AIR. Current version won't work with iOS8, the iPhone 5s and probably the new iPhone as well. Klipsch has to get their act together as their customer support SUCKS!!! They don't even reply to customer tickets and the wait time on the phone is 20min or longer.

More punch in the center is great but the RC-62 is way too big. My old Klipsch center was 15 years old and still sounded great so I gave it to my son for his system. I'm pretty sure it was 25.
