Klipsch continues to push the boundaries of high-performance audio beyond indoor confines, introducing the Professional Series Landscape Speakers – a robust, all-weather system designed to deliver the brand’s legendary dynamic sound to gardens, patios, poolsides, and expansive outdoor venues.

Rooted in over 78 years of acoustic innovation, the new lineup includes horn-loaded satellite speakers and powerful buried subwoofers that combine high efficiency, low distortion, and wide dispersion for uniform coverage across large areas. The series features models such as the PRO-500T-LS and PRO-650T-LS satellite speakers, paired with subterranean subwoofers like the PRO-10SW-LS and PRO-12SW-LS.

  • Tractrix horn technology
  • Atlas premium headphones
  • Music City Series II Portable Bluetooth Speakers
  • The One IV and The Three IV Tabletop Bluetooth Speakers
  • Flexus Element Outdoor Soundbar
  • Next-Generation Premium Hi-Fi and Home Theater Loudspeakers

Tractrix horn technology

Key to the design is Klipsch‘s signature Tractrix® horn technology, now optimized for extra-wide dispersion to ensure balanced, powerful sound reaches every listening position – even in open-air environments where traditional speakers often fall short. The satellites incorporate IMG (Injection Molded Graphite) woofers (5-inch or 6.5-inch depending on model) mated to a 1-inch aluminum dome tweeter in a horn-loaded configuration, delivering clarity, detail, and the visceral impact Klipsch is renowned for.

For low-end authority, the landscape subwoofers employ long-throw IMG drivers in band-pass burial designs, producing deep, earth-shaking bass that integrates seamlessly into the ground – virtually invisible while transforming outdoor spaces into concert-like venues. Built for durability, all components are fully weatherproof, capable of withstanding extreme conditions year-round.

This professional-grade series targets custom installers, landscapers, and enthusiasts seeking commercial-level performance for residential or light commercial applications. Easy installation options include stake mounting for satellites and discreet burial for subs, with 70V/100V transformer taps available on select models for distributed audio systems.

Klipsch’s expansion into premium outdoor audio underscores its commitment to “live music” reproduction anywhere, blending efficiency (requiring less amplifier power for high output) with the emotional punch that has defined the brand since Paul W. Klipsch’s foundational work.

Atlas premium headphones

Previewed at CES 2026, the Atlas lineup marks a significant evolution beyond the beloved Heritage series, blending the company’s legendary horn-loaded heritage with modern comfort, performance, and tailored listening experiences.

Comprising three distinct over-ear models, the Atlas Series caters to diverse audiophile preferences while preserving Klipsch’s signature dynamic, efficient sound. U.S. availability is slated for Summer 2026, with pricing to be confirmed closer to launch.

The Atlas HP-1 is a wireless over-ear model with active noise cancellation, engineered for travel and everyday use. It emphasizes an ultra-lightweight build, exceptional long-term comfort, and impressive battery life. A coaxial driver configuration maintains Klipsch’s warm, efficient voicing, with planned support for third-party spatial audio and hearing compensation features.

For enthusiasts craving powerful low-end, the Atlas HP-2 is a closed-back design tuned for class-leading bass extension and visceral impact – delivering energetic, immersive performance without compromising midrange clarity or refinement.

Crowning the range is the flagship Atlas HP-3, a semi-open-back model optimized for critical two-channel listening. It promises a spacious, speaker-like soundstage that transports audiophiles into the heart of the music. Luxury touches include a wider, cushioned headband for superior weight distribution, premium Alcantara materials, perforated earcups for breathability during extended sessions, and an exclusive packaging that incorporates a dedicated headphone stand.

Music City Series II Portable Bluetooth Speakers

Leading the portable category is the next-generation Music City Series II, which introduces Auracast broadcast audio connectivity – a game-changing feature based on Bluetooth LE Audio. Auracast allows a single source device to stream to an unlimited number of compatible speakers simultaneously, eliminating traditional pairing constraints and enabling effortless shared listening in homes, parties, or public spaces. Multi-speaker synchronization becomes seamless, aligning perfectly with how groups naturally enjoy music together.

Design refinements emphasize real-world portability: redesigned carrying straps for grab-and-go convenience and integrated magnets for quick attachment to metal surfaces, gear, or fixtures. Expected U.S. availability: Summer 2026.

The One IV and The Three IV Tabletop Bluetooth Speakers

Klipsch’s iconic tabletop lineup evolves with The One IV and The Three IV, both gaining Auracast support to integrate into the broader multi-room, multi-listener ecosystem. The standout The Three IV concept features a new front-mounted “coin” interface – a circular display that showcases album art, track information, volume, and input selection, blending tactile controls with an elegant visual feedback loop. These updates bring classic Klipsch heritage styling into the modern connected era. U.S. availability: Summer 2026.

Flexus Element Outdoor Soundbar

For al fresco entertainment, Klipsch previewed the Flexus Element, the next evolution of its Flexus modular soundbar system powered by Onkyo home-theater technology. Engineered for all-weather durability, the Flexus Element delivers cinematic Klipsch performance to patios, garages, and outdoor zones with straightforward setup and robust sound. U.S. debut expected: Fall 2026.

Next-Generation Premium Hi-Fi and Home Theater Loudspeakers

The most ambitious reveals target discerning enthusiasts. Klipsch offered early looks at the forthcoming iteration of its flagship Reference Premiere series, alongside two bold new premium hi-fi families: the Reference Signature Series and the intriguing Project Apollo – described as the brand’s “moonshot” into ultra-high-performance audio.

klipsch-introduces-full-range-landscape-speaker-system-at-ces2026-4

Both lines feature elevated industrial design, premium materials, and advanced engineering rooted in Klipsch’s horn-loaded architecture, meticulously tuned for audiophile-grade resolution, dynamics, and emotional impact. Select models from these ranges are slated for release later in 2026.

Publisher

Marco Lisi is the publisher of Best of High End, part of AV Concepts BV. His path into audio started early: as a teenager he was drawn into the world of free radio, presenting shows and living immersed in music every day. In his early twenties he ran his own production studio for five years, creating jingles and commercials — hands-on training in sound design, pro-audio workflows, and critical listening through studio monitors that still shapes how he evaluates gear today. He also spent years DJing in clubs before moving into publishing, first at two earlier online magazines before founding Best of High End. His hi-fi and home cinema passion was inherited from his father, an inveterate system-swapper. Marco's first setup — a confirmation gift — paired AKAI separates with entry-level Bowers & Wilkins speakers, a brand he stayed loyal to for years as his system grew from stereo into full surround and home cinema. Like many enthusiasts, he went through an extended "audiophile" phase chasing the next upgrade, before settling into a more grounded view: gear as a means to enjoy music and film, not an end in itself. Years of critical listening have given him a well-trained ear — the ability to characterize a system or pinpoint a change in the chain quickly and accurately. Just as important, his teaching background (a Belgian "regent" degree in Dutch language) gives him the tools to translate those listening impressions into clear, readable writing.
