About the Klipsch® GiG
The Klipsch GiG proves you don't always have to sacrifice sound quality for portability. This durable Bluetooth speaker system has two 1" high-performance full-range drivers, for clear, accurate sound. Dual 1" passive bass radiators ensure low tones are present to give your music depth. Advanced digital signal processing and equalization keeps your music sounding clear and detailed at any volume level.
The GiG's wraparound case swivels out to make a speaker stand.
High quality Bluetooth audio
The system features aptX® audio coding, an advanced form of Bluetooth that allows higher-fidelity sound with compatible Bluetooth devices. The GiG is backwards-compatible with earlier forms of Bluetooth, too. So you can wirelessly stream music from your smartphone, tablet, laptop, or other portable and still enjoy outstanding sound.
Quick pairing with NFC
The system uses Bluetooth and has NFC (Near Field Communication) built-in. Just swipe your NFC-compatible smartphone or tablet close to the GiG to pair and start streaming music right away. You can also pair the GiG with other Bluetooth-enabled devices, such as a portable game console or laptop computer.
And it's a speakerphone
If a call comes in on your smartphone while you're listening to your tunes, you've got options. Answer the call and use the GiG as a speakerphone to talk hands-free. If you don't like the interruption, terminate the call, or just ignore it — all from the GiG's control button.
Innovative portable design
A single multifunctional control button operates the system. And the button also has the battery charge status and usage indicator built in — everything in one place. The wraparound case swivels out to make a speaker stand. There's an auxiliary input so you can play non-Bluetooth portable devices through the system, too. The built-in rechargeable battery provides up to 12 hours of continuous operation so you can enjoy music all day (or all night) long.
