★★☆☆☆
Good sound but critically flawed bluetooth.
Tested the Klipsch R-10B in my home recently. Setup is easy and the sound is pretty impressive. The bass is deep without being overwhelming and vocals were the most clear and realistic of any sound bar on display locally. Only after a bit of use did I discover the flaw that caused me to return it; Bluetooth is always in pairing mode, even when the sound bar is in sleep mode or using another input. If you have neighbors nearby (in an apartment building, for example), they can pair their phone to the sound bar at any time. After they pair, the Klipsch will wake from sleep or change input and begin playing their music. This is a HUGE oversight in the design. If Klipsch would release an updated model with a pairing button or just the ability to turn bluetooth off altogether I'd say it's probably the best option in the price point but as it stands currently I can't recommend it.
