With that review, I’ve now pulled back the covers on half of the Klipsch Cinema series. This was the “Klipsch Cinema 1200 vs Samsung HW-Q950T Which is better?”, and with a fuller surround sound experience the Cinema 1200 had a clear, though pricier, advantage.

How would the average person, sitting in a typical living room, and with a nice TV feel about this soundbar system? Would they notice the differences that stood out in my review or would they find the overall performance perfectly acceptable?Īll of this introspection came on the back of an earlier review. Still, it had some clear strengths that had me wondering. The packaged remote senses movement and lights up, with buttons to adjust subwoofer and surround levels, volume, sound modes and inputs.I recently dove into a fun comparison, Klipsch Cinema 600 vs Samsung HW-Q900T which is better?, and found the Klipsch was not quite up to snuff when it came to delivering a true surround sound experience. There’s also room for two HDMI inputs if you want to connect external sources to the soundbar and through the TV. Wi-Fi is once again built in, enabling smart features in Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa and Spotify Connect, as well as making multi-room streaming possible. Like the Cinema 1200 there’s 8K HDR passthrough with Dolby Vision, eARC connectivity, and if you’re interested in adding rear channels, the Cinema 800 can be paired with Surround 3 wireless speakers (£265 / $299) for a 5.1 surround set-up. This soundbar is capable of 3.1 channels, so there are no upfiring speakers for Atmos, but it can decode 7.1.4 Atmos soundtracks. Measuring at 48-inches wide (121cm) it’s supported by a 10-inch wireless subwoofer. Slightly less wide is the step down Cinema 800 Sound Bar.

Two HDMI inputs are included for plugging external devices into the soundbar.

It can also decode Atmos soundtracks rendered in 7.1.4, too. With upfiring Atmos front and rear speakers, the Cinema 1200 has a 5.1.4 speaker configuration to deliver width and height to film soundtracks.

TV audio has always been an issue since the move from boxy CRTVs to flatscreens, with thinner displays have less space for the audio drivers to produce that big, expansive sound. It’s doing so with a new line-up of feature rich soundbars. The Klipsch brand name has been around for a while, and 2021 sees it celebrate its 75th anniversary.
