Klipsch The Fives Updater

I am too much love to Klipsch fives

Haven’t used a thumb drive in a while, but everything went smoothly. Easy to get the files needed, speakers responded to the update easily, and the app was easy to use and communicated each step clearly.

I spent hours trying to get this to work and all it did was break Bluetooth connectivity to the speakers. I followed all instructions meticulously and tried several times. The directions on the website had broken image links. I’m an electrical engineer with a focus in audio and if this isn’t working for me I can’t imagine how frustrating it would be for somebody without that background.

Need another round of update according to client service rep I just spoke to. Tried updating my Fives and now I’m stuck here waiting before I can use the app.

This system allows you to use an iPod nano 7th generation. Once you are forced to proceed with Step 2, it no longer allows Bluetooth on the iPod and forces you to stream music. What a let down to iPod music lovers.

Worked like a champ!

Junk

Followed the instructions and updated the Fives with zero issues. Took about 10 minutes. Flawless.

And it works brilliantly for what it’s intended for. Use this app to update your Klipsch “The Fives” one time, and then delete the app. It’s done. All further updates will be wireless and use a different app, and not need to be wired. Whether the other app works or not, this one works great!

I just bought The Fives and it required a ridiculous USB stick firmware update like it's 2007 and then a single-use app for a Firmware Update Part 2 just so I can finally use it with their normal Klipsch Connect app. none of this should be necessary. Put new firmware on the hardware in your factories, yo!
