Klipsch The Fives II Speakers Review for Music, Movies, More (2026)

Klipsch The Fives II 音箱评测：音乐、电影及更多体验（2026）

WIREDPristine music playback for relatively small bookshelf speakers. Size won’t overwhelm the room. Now has an HDMI eARC 2.1 port for Dolby Atmos surround sound. 优点： 对于相对小巧的书架音箱而言，其音乐回放效果纯净。体积适中，不会让房间显得拥挤。现已配备 HDMI eARC 2.1 接口，支持杜比全景声（Dolby Atmos）环绕音效。

TIREDCan’t compete with a soundbar for upfiring surround sound audio. Some test tracks for music lacked oomph. Game audio was not always convincing for surround sound. 缺点： 在向上发声的环绕音效方面无法与回音壁（Soundbar）相提并论。部分音乐测试曲目缺乏震撼力。游戏音频的环绕声表现并不总是令人信服。

A small bookshelf speaker saves space, but it generally forces you to compromise in overall sound quality. Standing at just 12.9 inches tall with 5.25-inch woofers, the Fives II speakers from Klipsch pack a ton of new features into the updated version. (The original version came out in 2020.) Key upgrades include Dolby Atmos support over the new HDMI eARC 2.1 port, Wi-Fi capability, and new electronics. You can go bigger with the Sevens or the Nines, also from Klipsch, but the more diminutive speakers are less likely to overwhelm the room in terms of size. 小型书架音箱虽然节省空间，但通常意味着要在整体音质上做出妥协。Klipsch The Fives II 音箱高度仅为 12.9 英寸，配备 5.25 英寸低音单元，在这一升级版本中塞入了大量新功能（初代版本于 2020 年发布）。主要升级包括通过全新的 HDMI eARC 2.1 接口支持杜比全景声、Wi-Fi 连接功能以及全新的电子元件。你也可以选择 Klipsch 更大的 Sevens 或 Nines 系列，但这款体积更小的音箱在空间占用上不会显得过于突兀。

Sonically, this is one of my favorite Klipsch speakers you can get for less than $1,500. When I played a new album by Cut Worms, the acoustic guitars sounded fuller and warmer than they did on the original the Fives speakers I tested just a few months ago. On the song “Fire 2” by Grace Ives—complete with crushing synths that fill the room—the Fives II were in the same premium league as the Cambridge Audio Evo One. 在音质方面，这是我最喜欢的 1500 美元以下的 Klipsch 音箱之一。当我播放 Cut Worms 的新专辑时，木吉他的声音比我几个月前测试的初代 The Fives 音箱听起来更饱满、更温暖。在 Grace Ives 的歌曲《Fire 2》中，伴随着充满整个房间的震撼合成器音效，The Fives II 的表现与 Cambridge Audio Evo One 处于同一高端水平。

I also tested movies and TV shows, video games, and a boatload of other new music on these speakers. The results were so impressive I ended up preferring the Fives II to several other bookshelf speakers I’ve recently tested (and enjoyed—just not as much). 我还用这些音箱测试了电影、电视节目、电子游戏以及大量其他新音乐。测试结果非常令人印象深刻，以至于我最终发现自己比最近测试过的其他几款书架音箱更偏爱 The Fives II（虽然那些音箱也不错，但没那么出色）。

Heavy Updates and Customization Ability

重磅升级与定制能力

I’ve noticed how the best speakers are almost always heavy, and that’s true of The Fives II. The primary speaker with the electronics weighs 18.2 pounds, and the secondary speaker weighs 15.5 pounds; the woofers are solidly built using Jet Cerametallic, a new Klipsch proprietary construction method that helps produce accurate sound. 我注意到最好的音箱通常都很重，The Fives II 也不例外。带有电子元件的主音箱重 18.2 磅，副音箱重 15.5 磅；低音单元采用 Klipsch 专有的 Jet Cerametallic 材质打造，结构坚固，有助于产生精准的声音。

Because they are meant to function as bookshelf speakers or for sitting on a computer desk, the Fives II are mostly targeted at music lovers, but they also function well as home theater speakers. You can buy the matching Klipsch KS28 speaker stands for $229 a pair (factory refurbished), but I found similar stands on Amazon that cost about $50 for a pair. 由于它们旨在作为书架音箱或放置在电脑桌上使用，The Fives II 主要面向音乐爱好者，但它们作为家庭影院音箱也表现出色。你可以花 229 美元购买配套的 Klipsch KS28 音箱支架（工厂翻新版），但我发现亚马逊上有类似的支架，价格仅需 50 美元左右。

It almost seems like the Fives have too many ports, but that’s not meant as a criticism—it’s good to have options. You can connect using an optical cable, HDMI (with eARC support), USB-C, USB-A (for charging gadgets), RCA phono and analog, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi. There’s also a port for connecting a subwoofer, though I didn’t feel that was necessary for music. The Fives 的接口多得几乎让人觉得有些过剩，但这并非批评——拥有更多选择总是好的。你可以通过光纤线、HDMI（支持 eARC）、USB-C、USB-A（用于给设备充电）、RCA 唱机和模拟接口、蓝牙以及 Wi-Fi 进行连接。此外还有一个连接低音炮的接口，不过我觉得听音乐时没必要用到它。

That Wi-Fi connection is a critical new addition. The Fives II speakers now let you play music through services like Tidal Connect, Apple AirPlay 2, and Google Cast. I used Tidal to start a playlist, then turned off my phone, and Tidal Connect continued to play the high-res audio. You can pause, skip tracks, or come back later and resume the playlist quite easily. Wi-Fi 连接是一项关键的新增功能。The Fives II 音箱现在允许你通过 Tidal Connect、Apple AirPlay 2 和 Google Cast 等服务播放音乐。我用 Tidal 启动了一个播放列表，然后关掉手机，Tidal Connect 依然能继续播放高解析度音频。你可以轻松地暂停、跳过曲目，或者稍后回来继续播放列表。

One major design change has to do with the controls on the speaker itself. The previous model had a large dial for switching between connection types, and it indicated which port was currently selected with a light. With the new speakers, you press a button to change ports, and the color indicates the connection type. I liked this approach better because, in most cases, you’ll likely select your connection type and not change it. However, it took a minute to figure out which color matched which port (for example, orange for USB-C and purple for optical). The Klipsch Connect app makes it easier to switch between ports, since they are clearly labeled on the interface. 一个重大的设计变化在于音箱本身的控制方式。旧款机型有一个用于切换连接类型的大旋钮，并通过指示灯显示当前选定的接口。在新款音箱上，你需要按下一个按钮来切换接口，颜色则代表连接类型。我更喜欢这种方式，因为在大多数情况下，你选定连接类型后就不会再频繁更改。不过，我花了一点时间才弄清楚哪种颜色对应哪个接口（例如，橙色代表 USB-C，紫色代表光纤）。Klipsch Connect 应用程序让切换接口变得更容易，因为界面上都有清晰的标注。

Speaking of the app, it’s quite helpful. You can adjust EQ (equalization) settings and make a few other tweaks, but my favorite setting is related to lip-synching. During movies and shows, if you connect over HDMI, you can use the setting to make lips perfectly match the audio. In my tests, it worked really well without any delays. 说到这个应用程序，它非常实用。你可以调整 EQ（均衡器）设置并进行其他一些微调，但我最喜欢的是与唇音同步相关的设置。在观看电影和节目时，如果通过 HDMI 连接，你可以使用该设置让口型与音频完美匹配。在我的测试中，它的效果非常好，没有任何延迟。

The Klipsch remote is handy, but I mostly used the app on my iPhone. You can easily switch inputs, adjust volume, pause, go to the next track, or use two custom input buttons. For example, you can map the custom button to use the HDMI or USB-C port. Klipsch 的遥控器很方便，但我大部分时间还是使用 iPhone 上的应用程序。你可以轻松切换输入源、调节音量、暂停、跳转到下一曲目，或使用两个自定义输入按钮。例如，你可以将自定义按钮映射为 HDMI 或 USB-C 接口。

The Music-Blasting Test

音乐轰炸测试

You know you have a great speaker when you use it to play a song you’ve heard countless times but now experience new sonic textures and previously hidden flourishes. When a speaker makes guitar distortion sound like mush or the bass overly loud and thumpy, it’s hard to justify the higher price. Luckily, the Fives II speakers fall into the former camp of improving sound. 当你用音箱播放一首听过无数遍的歌曲，却能体验到新的声音质感和以前未曾察觉的细节时，你就知道这是一款出色的音箱。如果音箱让吉他的失真听起来像一团浆糊，或者低音过于沉闷轰头，那么高昂的价格就很难让人接受。幸运的是，The Fives II 属于前者，它能显著提升音质。

I started with some classic rock: Joe Walsh’s song “Life’s Been Good” made every drum fill and a scorching guitar solo come alive. On the song “Good Grief” by the indie artist Torres, the distinct cymbal crashes and drum slaps were clearer and crisper than on other bookshelf speakers I’ve tried. Speaking of drums, on the song “I Wish I Was Sober” by Frightened Rabbit, the drums had a pillowy, organic tonal quality that’s sublime。 我从一些经典摇滚乐开始测试：Joe Walsh 的歌曲《Life’s Been Good》让每一个鼓点填充和炽热的吉他独奏都变得栩栩如生。在独立音乐人 Torres 的歌曲《Good Grief》中，镲片的撞击声和鼓点的拍击声比我尝试过的其他书架音箱更清晰、更清脆。说到鼓声，在 Frightened Rabbit 的歌曲《I Wish I Was Sober》中，鼓声呈现出一种如枕头般柔软、自然的音质，简直妙不可言。

Another favorite test track of mine is the song “Aurora, IL” by Cassandra Jenkins. The intro has two guitars, and on many speakers, it sounds like two electrics are playing. On The Fives II, the second guitar was obviously—and correctly—an acoustic. The speakers replicate what is actually in the digital file. Even the Focal Mu-so Hekla soundbar didn’t generate as clear of a sound on this particular track, despite it having stronger overall power and more realistic surround sound. 我另一个最喜欢的测试曲目是 Cassandra Jenkins 的《Aurora, IL》。前奏中有两把吉他，在许多音箱上听起来像是两把电吉他在演奏。而在 The Fives II 上，第二把吉他明显且准确地表现为木吉他。音箱真实地还原了数字文件中的内容。即使是 Focal Mu-so Hekla 回音壁，在这首曲目上的声音清晰度也不如它，尽管回音壁拥有更强的整体功率和更逼真的环绕声。

But, the Fives aren’t perfect: Compared to other high-end speakers I’ve tried in the last year—some of which made me fear my Sheetrock would splinter—the Fives don’t generate as powerful a sound. The high notes at the end of the song “Mio Cristo Piange Diama 但 The Fives 并非完美：与我去年尝试过的其他高端音箱相比——其中一些甚至让我担心墙板会震裂——The Fives 产生的声音并没有那么震撼。在歌曲《Mio Cristo Piange Diama》结尾处的高音部分……
