Where does this product score?

The Klipsch The Three II Bluetooth speaker delighted expert testers with its aged design, stereo output, and also how loud it could get. Reviewers liked that it had various options for wired inputs; however, its missing WiFi connectivity and lack of speakerphone and voice assistant functionality was disappointing.

Overview_

The Klipsch The Three II speaker is a high-end Bluetooth speaker that was first announced in early 2019. The speaker has a modern, mid-century-inspired design and feels great to touch, thanks to its excellent quality. Like most top-tier speakers, it can play stereo content and has decent Bluetooth connectivity with low latency for iOS and Android devices. This means it can be used to play music and videos without any lag, and its wide range of port inputs also sets it apart from most of the best Bluetooth speakers on the market since many of them only focus on wireless connectivity. The speaker has an AUX port, a USB-B port, and a Phono/Line switch that can be used to connect it to a turntable if need be, but it isn’t really meant for use with a computer. If you’re looking for speakers that would be ideal for this, check out our Klipsch Promedia 2-1 review.
