  I purchased a Klipsch Home Theater Kit for $560 through ****** on March 1st, 2025. By March 11th, 2025, the subwoofer in the kit stopped working. I reached out multiple times to Klipsch customer support to resolve the issue but have yet to receive a response. The system is covered under a one-year warranty, but they are not honoring it.Since the 30-day return window with ****** has expired, I am unable to return the product directly through them. Additionally, I gave my stepfather the money to purchase this system, and I am ***************************************************************************************** a complete kit.I am seeking a resolution that would honor the one-year warranty and replace the defective subwoofer, without requiring me to return the entire kit. I would like this issue to be resolved as quickly as possible, as it is a major inconvenience, and I do not have the financial means to address it further

  Hi, 

  We are trying to assist.

  The customer has just started contact with us regarding the issue with his subwoofer yesterday 4/8/2025 and has yet to resound with the normally requested warranty verification information that we ask for.

  We sent the following request for this information in an email at 2:16PM Eastern time. 

  "Will you please attach a copy of your receipt to this ticket? If you haven't already, please also provide the serial number from your product, your full name, email address, shipping address and phone number.
  Once your warranty is verified we will reply with the next step in the service process."

  We received a reply that had the message string in it, but none of the requested information for warranty verification.

  Thanks and Best Regards

  Bought the Nines and have had to replace the internal amp twice. These dont seem to last, inquired about what to do next and they want to charge me 300 dollars plus shipping and wait on backorder for 2-3 months for the 3rd internal amp. Who buys speakers and only thinks they are going to last 1-2 years? I see reviews everywhere of others having the exact same issues and there is no statement from Klipsch about this being a widespread issue. I just want speakers I paid over a grand for to work is that too much to ask?

  This was purchased 10/6/2023 and I had issues in may of 2024 where they sent a new amp out and within that time period to now it also went out. The warranty was for a year since this was B stock then a year for the amp they sent out. Both failed within the year and now they want me to pay 300 plus shipping to order another amp. Obviously their amps are faulty or the speaker unit itself is bad and they misdiagnosed the issue. I am seeing so many people with this issue and this just seems like a scam at this point for them to generate revenue. Just look at your reviews on BBB stating the exact same thing happening to them.

  Hi, 
  
  Per the attached invoice the product purchased was open box which would come with a 90-days from date of purchase warranty.

  The product was outside of that warranty period when customer initially contacted us February 19, 2025 and was given a discounted price for a replacement part as well as a discount coupon that could be used on our website for a future product purchase.

  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined the response would not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below. 
  

  When was this 90 day warranty put into effect? The listing showed for a 1 year warranty and it even broke before that.. Then does the replacement part also sit under a 90 day warranty or 1 year since I am having to pay for it this time (I am told this is a 1 year warranty too). I tried calling to even order that and was told I would have to call back in April to put in a request since this EXACT part is on backorder while they confused me for another called needing the exact same part.... I cannot purchase the part I need to fix these speakers. This is pointless.

  Hello, 
  
  Per the attached invoice the product was purchased in October of 2023 as an open box which would come with a 90-days from date of purchase warranty.

  
  The product was outside of that warranty period when customer initially contacted us February 19, 2025 and was given a discounted price for a replacement part as well as a discount coupon that could be used on our website for a future product purchase.
  The amplifier is currently on backorder with *** at early to mid- April.

  This is my THIRD internal amp to be ordered on this. I contacted you in may of 2024 to have the amp replaced which you sent one out, but obviously that is not the issue with these speakers if it keeps happening over and over. You never fixed the speaker to working condition in the first place and they always fail in a short amount of time (just after the warranty coincidentally).

  I am on replacement number 2 for my Cinema 600 system. This one has started deteriorating. Reached out to Klipsch. They are saying I'm outside warranty in which doesn't make sense ****** my replacements. Besides, warranty should not be a factor on a replacement. The replacement sent has failed.

  I made purchase of b stock klipsch speakers that are factory sold to little no no defects, after delivery and un- packaging and anticipating, notice a machined imprint that runs up and around speakers that is not the pattern of the grain , if these are being used for from main speakers it does show depending on lighting, I took pics rt off as days go on I'm noticing more and more of the rally strip that a machine put in the finish, I first sent them my concerns the review that was sent from my purchase but never received a reply. Then sent another to customer support with all the pictures and explained the rally strip and after some time I dig get a response saying that this is supposed be that way . (No their not) so I sent a reply that I've asked several times that I wanted this escalated and to talk to someone in management, but still no reply. This really makes me un happy going thru this cause I thought that klipsch was top class and I currently have about 5-sets of klipsch speakers, and I'm starting to debate on weather or not that I made a good choice on the klipsch brand, I will include pictures and info relating. I also would like to address the representative that said that this is normal

  I contacted Klipsch about a subwoofer that was cutting in and out. I researched for days on what was going on, only to find out that this was happening to most everyones subwoofers at some point in their life and very early on. The design is apparently bad, causing overheating with sub par parts being used on the circuit board. I was unable to give them a receipt, because the company that I bought it from went out of business like a year ago. I reached out to see if this was something that they would warranty, since this is an issue that they are well aware of. I also asked what options I had outside of a warranty claim since I wasnt able to give them a receipt. I was thinking they would offer to sell me a new amp or offer to have me ship the amp to them or a repair shop to have it repaired. I was told to find a repair shop around me nothing else. Zero help. I dont live in a city that has those sorts of repair shops and all the people I can find online are overwhelmed with hundreds of repairs of this exact issue with klipsch subwoofers. With this issue being so prevalent and obviously a klipsch issue and not a consumer issue, they should stand behind their products and take care of these faulty units, regardless of a warranty or even a receipt. If the units had been built properly and to last, this wouldnt be an issue.

  We purchased a Klipsch ******* THX amplifier from Hi-Fi Heaven for $1,145.06 in February and installed it a month ago. We found out the amplifier was defective (no audio was passing through) when we installed it. I contacted Klipsch customer support at that time (June 30th, 2023) detailing the issue (support ticket ******). On July 20th, customer support said: "We currently do not have the ******* THX in stock with no ETA." to which I replied: "...we would be willing to send this amplifier to an authorized Klipsch repair center in the US instead of getting a new one.", considering the delay.Support gave me a name, number and address for a support center, but will not provide a shipping label or any other information on how to get the appropriate service from this provider. I contacted the provider (************************) and was told they don't do warranty repairs for Klipsch. They said they would be willing to diagnose and repair it if Klipsch gave them the green light, but I have not heard back from Klipsch on the matter. It's been over a month now since I contacted customer support and have had no resolution. I would like to get a replacement or get this amplifier repaired.Could you please help me resolve this issue?Thank You!*******************************

  Hi,

   

  Due to a longer ETA on replacement units, we have referred the customer to authorized electronics repair.

  If a repair cannot be performed due to the type of damage we will replace once we have inventory of this item.

  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that Klipsch are trying to resolve the issue, but the response would not fully solve my complaint at this point.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below. 

  Klipsch did ask me to contact ************************, so I called them, but GBS states that they "do not do warranty repairs for Klipsch", they only do out-of-warranty repairs for them. I have forwarded the email Klipsch sent me to GBS, and they are trying to determine what steps need to be taken in order to provide a warranty repair. I would also need Klipsch to provide a shipping label for the unit from *********** (*****) or ****** (*****), ** to GBS in ******* (*****), **.

  Here is a copy of the email that was provided by Klipsch:

   

  "Hi *******,
   
  Thank you for contacting Klipsch! Our sincerest apologies for the delayed response while further information in regard to this product.
  

  As far as an exchange for replacement the current ETA for stock of the *******-THX for replacement is mid-November.
   
  We have an authorized electronics repair center, Global Batter Solutions in ******** that the *******-THX unit could be sent to. Repair may be possible if the damage isn't too great.
   
  If Damage is too great to repair, then exchange is the only option.
   
  If you want to send to GBS for repair let them know we approved warranty repair mentioning my name ********************************* and I'll make sure its approved as a warranty repair.

  The company that Klipsch sent me to has agreed to provide a warranty repair for the amplifier, but are refusing to provide a shipping label for the unit. I don't think it is fair to have to pay for shipping of the unit since it never worked in the first place and it is a warranty repair. I would like Klipsch or Global Battery to pay for the shipping of the unit to and from my address.

  Thank You!

  We did not refuse to provide a shipping label in this case.

  Since the last message, Klipsch have provided a shipping label and the unit was sent for repair to Global Battery. I would now like to close the complaint and **** it as resolved. If there are any other issues I'll be in contact with Klipsch.

  Thank you for your time!

  Purchased a Klipsch Cinema 600 Soundbar with Klipsch Surround rear speakers on September 2, 2022 with extended warranty (2 years). In November 2022 the rear speakers started with a high pitch squealing and cracking so bad we had to unplug them. We tried to get help from the store where they were purchased to no avail, they told us we have to go through Klipsch. Contacted Klipsch warranty support who asked if we had something interfering ie. wireless equipment in the same room which we did not. After numerous emails we still could not get rid of the squeal and cracking and finally the original seller gave us a name to take them for repair. Took them in February 7, 2023, yes there is something wrong with the rear speakers. We finally received new rear speakers on April 13th, 2023. These are worse than the first pair, cracking high pitched squealing again. Dealing with Klipsch again who tells us to take them back to the repair shop. Repair shop tells us it is now probably the Soundbar. Klipsch told us to buy some ferrite chokes which we did, didnt help whatsoever. Repair shop tells us it will probably be 2 to 3 months again until we get new rear speakers or Soundbar. For a system we purchased in September we have gotten 2 months out of 9 month operation due to not working and waiting on repair from Klipsch. We want our $1,375.47 back! There has been numerous emails with them regarding what is happening with no resolutions whatsoever. With their limited responses you feel like they honestly hope you will go away and not contact them anymore. Today we received an email stating the case was closed after I sent an email asking for our money back or send us a new system. Done with this company, bad bad business and the worst customer service ever. I guess we had nothing better to do with $1,375 so we just decided to donate it to Klipsch!

  It's all spelled out in the screenshots. I purchased 8 sets for Christmas gifts. I was under the impression that they were warrantied for 2 years, the "standard klipsch warranty". No where does it state refurbished items only have a 90 day warranty. 6 of the 8 units do not function correctly, even after trying all the remedies proposed. They refuse to repair or replace them. I'm seeking replacements for the 6 non-working units.

  Business Response

  Hi, 

   

  We have processed refunds for the 6 refurbished headphones as a courtesy.

  The refurbished products come with a 90 day money back warranty under normal circumstances. 

  These were purchased September 2022 and we were contacted regarding the issue February 2023.

  Thanks and Best Regards
