Klipsch Cinema 700 is a 3.1 channel soundbar that has a wireless subwoofer. The low ends are punchier from the 10” subwoofer. It supports Dolby Atmos and focuses on creating 7.1.4 sound field. Basic ports like HDMI, optical and 3.5mm in are available. It is versatile and supports Wi-Fi, Chromecast and Airplay. Overall, the sound quality is impressive and a ‘big’ improvement over TV speakers.

Our Verdict

Klipsch Cinema 700 is better for dialogue heavy contents. it has a dedicated center channel resulting in clearer and intelligible vocals. Music sounds quite good and movie are decent. The bar can produce loud and room-filling sound. Soundstage is wide and good which is much needed for movies. Overhead effects are decent but not outstanding. Use EQ options to tweak the sound.

PROS
  • 8k video passthrough
  • Supports voice-enabled devices
  • Easy to use
  • Balanced sound
  • Low latency
CONS
  • No up-firing drivers

AUDIO QUALITY ( TESTED )

Dialogue & Vocal Accuracy Frequency deviation from target is less than standard error (3.4 dB ); which means soundbar is very good to reproduce dialog and instrumental music
Bass Accuracy ( for music, film scores, movies, and games) Soundbar 's Low-Frequency-Extension is less than 35 Hz. Which means It can reproduce the deep thump and rumble in the low-bass accurately.
3- Dimensional Sound Accuracy ( Sound Stage) audio seems to be coming from a more accurate pinpoint location
Total Harmonic Distortion ( Center Channel ) It has dedicated center channel speaker and Total Harmonic Distortion of center channel @80dB is less than standard value(>0.7). So soundbar produce more clear and accurate audio of the dialogue in movies.
Surround Sound Imaging ( Rear Channel ) No dedicated or alternative channel for surround content. So it downmixes surround content to stereo.
