Klipsch Austin
TRANSPORT YOURSELF
A mini-but-mighty 1.5” full-range driver powers impressive audio output while dual passive radiators display deep, resonating bass.
SOUND CHECK, ONE TWO
With just a tap on your Klipsch Connect Plus app (available for free in the app store), you can customize EQ settings for your ideal bass, mid-range, and treble, receive over-the-air firmware updates, and receive access to support.
BRING THE BAND TOGETHER
Party people, pay attention — the Klipsch Austin features Broadcast Mode allowing playback on up to 10+ Klipsch Music City (or other Broadcast Mode enabled) speakers.
SUPERIOR CONNECTIVITY
You’re free to move and groove with Bluetooth 5.3 true wireless technology for seamless stereo playback. Stay connected up to 40-feet away from the Klipsch Austin for total flexibility.
PLENTIFUL POWER
Whether you’re traversing 6th Street, the Warehouse District, or hiking down your favorite trail, the Klipsch Austin’s long-lasting battery has you covered for up to 12 hours on a single charge.
TAKE CHARGE
Enjoy 18W USB-C charging for fast, effective power when and where you need it. And when it comes time to pack, that's one less cord to pack, if you've got a newer phone that also uses USB-C.
BUILT-IN STRAP FOR A CONCERT ON-THE-GO
The Austin is small enough to go with you, and with the built-in strap it’s easy to attach it to your bag, handlebars or keep it with you wherever you go.
DON'T MISS A BEAT
Plans change, and the Klipsch Austin is adaptable too. You won’t miss a beat with the built-in microphone, allowing you to pause the music to take a quick call without having to search for your phone.
RUGGED AS HILL COUNTRY, SMOOTH AS SUMMER NIGHT
The Klipsch Austin is IP67 rated for dust and water…AKA completely protected from dust and submergible up to 1 meter for 30 minutes.

Sound Quality
76/100
Bass
76/100
No reviewer data; inferred from product size/positioning as a compact portable. For a small/tiny driver package this score reflects modest extension and controlled output expected from a portable Klipsch. IP67 and cabinet constraints limit low-end expectations; score kept conservative.
Mid
78/100
Inferred clarity and forwardness typical of Klipsch voicing; lack of review excerpts means this is an estimate based on brand tuning and the product's portable design. Vocals likely present and clear but not very full-bodied.
Treble
76/100
Estimated moderate detail and air with care taken to avoid harshness for portable use. No direct reviewer comments; score reflects expected controlled treble for consumer wireless speakers.
Soundstage Imaging
72/100
Portable form-factor and single-cabinet design typically limit true width/depth. Without reviews, this score assumes reasonably good stereo spread (Bluetooth/wireless may support stereo pair) but limited focus and depth versus bookshelf standmounts.
Dynamics
74/100
Estimated punch and transient response suitable for small, battery-powered active speakers. Expected good microdynamics but constrained macro headroom compared with powered bookshelf systems.

Build Quality
82/100
Klipsch brand and IP67 rating support a strong build-quality estimate. Ruggedness (water/dust protection), available finishes, and strap imply solid mechanical design; no review verification provided.
Features Connectivity
85/100
Active/wireless product with Bluetooth 5.3, Klipsch Connect app, Broadcast Mode, USB-C charging, IP67, and built-in strap. Score elevated for rich connectivity and rugged features. (Note: baseline passive-bookshelf rule not applicable; score capped to reflect bookshelf-agent bounds.)
Value for Money
88/100
Price range $89.99–$109.99 for a feature-rich IP67 Klipsch with app, decent battery life and modern connectivity suggests strong value. No reviewer language available to elevate to top-tier (>93).
