What happened to the power indicator light, Klipsch?
By LJ on Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2023
So, I am baffled. I was really excited to receive this and try it out. Shipping took longer than I would have liked, but it finally arrived today, and I immediately pulled it out of the box and I plugged it in and flipped its switch and....nothing. Literally nothing. Flipped the switch a couple more times. Nothing. Zero indication of function or power. Checked the DC In connection. Nothing. Checked to make sure the outlet I had the DC cord plugged into has a power source, and it powers my side table lamp fine, so that's not the issue. I tried the factory reset process as the manual instructs (with the switch both up and down, since I cannot tell which position is "on", it's not labeled)...nothing. Thought, what the hell, and went through the Bluetooth pairing process to see if anything came through; Nothing. No Bluetooth light firing up, no appearance of the speaker in my phone's Bluetooth connection menu. So, what's wrong with it? No idea. No way to tell, either, because there's no indicator light on the speaker, so, I have no way of knowing if it's the DC cord or something else that is causing it to be DOA. Sigh. I ask you, what quality speaker company omits the darn power indicator light? It's a really useful, and utterly standard, feature and function. What's especially bizarre is this speaker comes with a (very simple) user manual, and a good chunk of it is dedicated to the speaker's indicator light and what the different colored lights mean; The presence and location of the light is clearly diagramed on page 3, and literally half of page 5 is dedicated solely to it. So, even thought its own user manual insists it has one (again, see photos), it DOESN'T HAVE ONE. ???? So frustrating and illogical, and just plain irritating. I mean, what happened? Did Klipsch redesign it (without changing its model name - see the photo I took of the bottom of the unit along with the user manual; The model names printed on both are the same) - cheaping out by removing the indicator light, and then REALLY cheaping out by NOT also redesigning the user manual? Did they REALLY just toss the old, BETTER version's manual into the packaging for this substandard redesign, and in the process clearly reveal that they'd removed a really helpful, standard feature? Boggles the mind they'd be that short-sighted, but I do believe that's what they did. SO. Is this a good speaker? Maybe, in the sound department, but, who knows? At least, not I, because I can't turn it on. It most definitely sucks as far as powering up, and extra sucks by not having an indicator light that can help diagnose issues (or just tell you it's on or off), so, yeah, back it goes, which extra, extra sucks, because it's a very attractive-looking speaker, not much else out there looks this nice, and I really, really wanted this to be, well, The One. :( IF it had an indicator light, I'd probably buy another one to try out after returning this one (because I'd figure I'd just gotten a dud, which, in all likelihood, is what has happened). But, for real, friends, indicator lights have a REALLY logical purpose (as is evidenced by my experience with THIS very speaker), and I very much want what now appears to be the simple luxury of that very, very basic feature included in whatever speaker I buy. If there is a version of this speaker I can buy that actually comes with an indicator light, hopefully I can figure it out, because I would buy that instead...But really, how can I trust that anything I see online actually reflects the reality of what would be shipped to me? The data and specs in the manual are flat out wrong. Any specs, descriptions, or promises I find online could also be wrong. ...Upon further reflection I find this whole situation hilarious, because even all the REALLY cheapo, Chinese junk units out there have an indicator light. What a joke Klipsch, the company, seems to be, and, yes, silly me for thinking a European company with a long history would be better. It's ALL about maximum profit with minimum features these days, doesn't matter where it was designed or who designed it.
