About the Klipsch® Groove®
A portable speaker with 'tude
A portable speaker with 'tude
It looks like a miniature guitar amp. And when I pressed the power button, a snarly guitar riff rang out to let me know it was on. My impression? Klipsch seems to have built a little rock 'n' roll attitude into their Groove portable Bluetooth speaker. And as I found when I tried out the Groove, it's attitude that delivers.
Quality construction ensures the Groove holds up to rough-and-tumble action.
Slamming sound
Inside the Groove is a tough aluminum 3” full-range speaker. This high excursion driver delivers powerful, accurate sound, with two side-firing bass radiators to reinforce low tones. Klipsch's advanced digital signal processing (DSP) ensures highly detailed, dynamic sound. When I auditioned the Groove, that DSP kept the sound of my test tracks virtually distortion-free regardless of how low — or how high — I set the volume.
From our article Klipsch Groove Wireless speaker review
"As we told tall tales, hurled lighthearted insults, and put back a few beverages, the Klipsch handled our haggard, grimy playlist with appropriate grit. The speaker stood its ground, even when we cranked the volume to compete with our voices. From Hank to Ozzy to Wu-Tang, there was edginess to the Groove's sound that you don't hear from some of the slicker speakers this size."
— Jeff Miller, A/V writer
Brawny build
The Groove isn't just shaped like a guitar amp. It's also built for a hard life on the road like one. Its solidly built cabinet has a splash-proof silicone coating. Use it by the pool, camping in a rainstorm — just don't go swimming with it. The built-in rechargeable battery delivers up to 8 hours of operation, so you can get in a full day (or night) of music-fed fun.

I love the new Klipsch Groove! Great sound quality and it gets nice and loud for the times when you want to rock out. Great bass response from such a small package too.
