I understand not having full functionality with Android. But will they work for taking calls? I'm about to buy a pair tonight but need an answer first. Thanks!

Is someone working on upgrading the app to work with ICS and Jelly Bean?

I know that the current Klipsch app for Android is not compatible with Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0x). So which version of this headphone is recommended for the Motorola Razr Maxx which gives you phone and volume control? At a minimum, I'd like volume control even if the phone controls don't work. Or, is there another model I should be looking at? Thanks.

I mounted my new RS-35s with the Omniport 10.0 wall mounts last night. The mounts are not large, however I put a pair of rubber bumpers on the lower edge of the speakers and rested them on the wall facing down toward my listening area. For me... they worked out fine. However, if you intend to use the mounts to hold the RS-35s away from the wall at whatever angle you'd care to use... I don't think they're strong enough. They are also quite short. So there isn't allot of room to angle the speakers since they're so large. If you're really looking for mounts to HOLD the speakers away from the wall... you may want to look into the 20.0 version. One note... the shaft from the 10.0 does match the screw insert on the RS-35's. However, I found that one of the RS-35s that I bought did not have the hole drilled and completed in the back of the cabinet. What a PITA! And, since I purchased these online (BrandNamez)... I didn't want to go through the hassle of returning them and getting replacements. The Omnimounts do come with an option to use the keyhole mount. I used this for mounting the defective speaker. Hope this info helps.

I sent a msg to Klipsch Customer Support this morning to ask if the Omnimount 10.0 were sufficient with the RS-35's. Here's the reply I got a few minutes ago: 'Yes the Omnimount 10.0 is fine to use with the RS-35.' Looks like I'll give them a try too. I think they're about $32 each at Radio Shack. Good luck!

Has anybody had any experience with wall mounts for the Klipsch RS-35s (or RS-3s)? My mounting location for both side speakers (7.1) is too high and I need some way to angle them down toward the listening area. I'm looking at Omnimount as one option. Their model 10.0 is supposed to be for speakers up to 10 lbs. The RS-35s are listed at 9.6 lbs. I would assume that Omnimount threw in some margin for error over their recommended weight? The threaded, steel shaft (with 1/4"-20 thread) should fit the Klipsch threaded mount. However, Omnimount's recommendation for the RS-3s was to go with the model 20.0. Unfortunately, that shaft won't fit the Klipsch mount. Maybe the speaker plate will line up with the keyholes? Any experience you've had (or alternate suggestions) would be appreciated.

My wife mentioned this morning the "quality" of his comedy... never nasty, never obscene. Wish the TV world would take note. No wonder our children are growing up with attitude.

Anybody have any futher thoughts or try this over the weekend? Thanks!

How about using the speaker mounting plate that comes with the 20.0 ? Will it mount on the RS-35's using the keyholes?

Omnimounts website recommends the 20.0 version for the RS-3s. I'd assume it would be the same for the RS-35's? Does anybody know if the wall plate will mount to a standard electrical box? Thanks!

OH.. one more thing... The TX-NR801 and TX-SR702 are rated comparably and when I A/B'd them in the showroom matched up sound for sound. I just didn't feel the need for the networking feature.

I've spent a great deal of time over the past couple of months bringing home and testing the following with my Klipsch RF-3's, RC-3, RS-35s and Boston PV700 sub HT system: Onkyo TX-SR602 and TX-SR702 Yamaha RX-V1500 Harman Kardon AVR430 Elite VSX-54 I found the Yamaha a little harsh (after listening to it for some time) and lacking in the lows and mids at low volume. The Harman Kardon sounded great, but is a real pain to setup. If other family members were to use it on there own... they'd be lost. And the remote flat out sucks! The Elite lacked clarity on instrumentals. Not bad... but not detailed. The Onkyo TX-SR602 and TX-SR702 provided the best balance of sound for music and home theater. And... they're easy to use. The winner: Onkyo TX-SR702 for its ease of use and finely detailed sound. It is smooth in all areas and provides all of the HT options (including THX Select) anyone could ask for.

I see the difference in drivers and specs... but has anybody compared sound quality between these? Thanks.

Here's a question regarding the setup up my surround speakers in a dedicated HT room. My seating area in the room is up against the rear wall. At the moment, I have side surrounds (Klipsch SS-1s) slightly in front of the seating position (5.1). Although they are probably too high and need to be moved down. My understanding is that they should be about 3 feet above the listener? Would I benefit from adding rear surrounds (7.1) to the back wall even though they would only be about 3-4 ft from the listening area? If so, should I match them to the side surrounds? Or, would I be better served in getting better quality side surrounds to match my front (RF3s & RC3) speakers? As of now, I'm planning on getting a pair of RS-35's for the side and moving the SS-1's to the rear. But if I don't gain much... is it worth it? Any help you can give would be appreciated.

If you're interested... I'll be selling my pair of SS.5 surrounds to upgrade and match with the rest of my system. I'll put them on eBay tomorrow unless somebody wants them today for $150, plus shipping? They are in new condition. I also have a KSC-C1 center channel that's new condition going on eBay tomorrow night. Same deal... $150, plus shipping and it's yours.

I have a question regarding my home theater setup that I'd really appreciate some advice on. I have a dedicated HT room in which I currently have a pair of RF3s and a RC3 center. For surround, I have two SS-1s mounted (too high) on the side and a pair of SS-.5s on the rear wall. All of this will be powered by an Harman Kardon AVR-435 or AVR-635. My question is... should I be looking to replace my surrounds with matching RS-3's? Will there be a noticable diffenence if I do? Which is more important... the side mounted surrounds or the rear? Should all surrounds be at the same height? Thanks your your help...

Between the two... I'd also vote for the HK. Better all around sound. If you can... consider Onkyo as another option.

I'm going through the same choice and have settled on either the Onkyo TX-SR702 or the Harman Kardon AVR-430/435. Either sounds great with the Klipsch RF-35s. The Onkyo may have a few more home theater features. But you can't go wrong with either. I also listened to the Elite VSX-56TXi and didn't feel it was as clean as the Onkyo or HK receivers. When compared side by side (A/B), brushes on cymbals and instruments in general weren't as clear.

I spent the weekend with both the Yamaha RX-V1500 and the HK AVR-430. Although the Yamaha has a number of excellent features, the Harman Kardon really shines on pure music. The Yamaha is extremely clean and detailed and with a "warm" speaker arrangement, it may be your best bet. But, I'm running all Klipsh speakers in my home theater using it about 75/25 home theater/music and I found the sound of the RX-V1500 becoming tiring after some time listening. I also found that when listening at lower volumes (like when my kids are in bed) the Yamaha felt weak in the lower and mid-range sounds. The HK is a much smoother (IMO) sounding receiver and seems to do a better job on music with these speakers. And it's easy to listen to at lower volumes with a better overall sound. Now... to complicate matters. I'd really like to go with the HK AVR-435 once it's available. When? Who knows... it's been delayed several times. In the meantime, I decided to try an Onkyo TX-SR702. The Onkyo has a great setup for home theater and also sounds smoother in a pure music environment than the Yamaha. Is it better than the HK ARV-430? I think it compares very favorably in pure music mode and without question... outshines HK in setup and features for home theater. So as of now... the Onkyo TX-SR702 wins out in all around sound with the Klipsch RF-3's and associated home theater speakers. So... when IS the HK AVR-435 coming out? And, will it outperform the Onkyo TX-SR702? All the best...

I am upgrading my home theater system and have been trying out a Yamaha RX-V1500 with my 7.1 Klipsch (RF-3, etc.) home theater setup. Although extremely clear and detailed, the Yamaha seems to be lacking slightly in the low/mid end when listening primarily to music (jazz, vocals, horns, guitar, etc.). I was looking for a "warmer/smoother" sound and found that in the Harman Kardon AVR-430. However, there are a number of things about the HK that annoy me. First, it's not the most user friendly and the EZ-Set doesn't provide a whole lot. I'd like to try the AVR-435, but the release date just keeps getting pushed back. I'm also interested in the Onkyo TX-SR702. THX Select (like the Yamaha) and all the great features. Does anyone have any experience comparing the sound of the Onkyo TX-SR702 with the HK AVR-430? How does it compare when playing music sources? Anybody who has experience with the HK AVR-630, Onkyo TX-SR702 and the Yamaha RX-V1500 please share your thoughts on sound quality. They all seem to do a find job on movies but I'd also like the best sounding receiver for music. Please keep your comments to these three receivers and THANK YOU... this decision is driving me nuts!

I'm trying to decide whether or not it's worth the hassle to bring home a Harmon Kardon AVR-430 receiver to compare it with the Yamaha RX-V1500 I brought home last week. This will be used in a dedicated home theater/media room running RF-3s for mains plus Klipsch Center and Surrounds. It will be used about 70/30 for movies/music. Anybody had any experience with these two AV Receivers? Thanks!

I just bought an RX-V1500 for $550 and think it sounds great with the RF-3s I use as my mains. My understanding is that the RX-V1500 is last year's RX-V2400 with some additional features. Take a look.

I recently purchased a Yamaha RX-V1500 Receiver (although I'm still considering a Harman Kardon AVR430) and plan on using it in a dedicated media room with my RF-3's as the main. I have a 65 Hitachi WS for home theater. I have a mixture of "other" Klipsch speakers currently in the room including: Center: KSC-C1 Side Surrounds: SS-1 (2) Read Surrounds: SS-.5 (2) Boston Acoustics 12" sub I'd like to start upgrading the center and surrounds and need some suggestions. I'd like to go with the RC-3 for a center. What's the difference between the RC-3 and the RC-3 II? Will upgrading the center and surrounds make much of an impact? Any other suggestions for this setup? Once I upgrade the center and surrounds any suggestions on where I should try and sell them? Theyre like new boxes and all. EBay? Thanks for your help.
