Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Klipsch Stream at none against Ahenq's 1. Klipsch Stream also leads on device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 18.6). Ahenq's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months). On price and ads there is nothing between them.

- App constantly drops recognition of music apps
- Troubleshooting BOT is a joke
- App no longer recognizes PowerGate
- Search function for Amazon Music doesn’t work
- Connectivity issues through Wi-Fi
- App needs a lot of work
- App and its connectivity with streaming services and the Alexa app are really horrendous
- Last update helped when it came to recognizing the device but still needs improvement
- Can’t find any networks
- App doesn’t perform consistently
- Sometimes have to open and close it multiple times before it connects
- Not my internet
- No support for Apple Music
- Packaging it all up tomorrow and returning it
- Great hardware; very weak software
- Have to reboot the PowerBridge multiple times a day to keep it paired with my phone
- Even then it sometimes can’t find the device
- The app used to not work and take a series of closing it out and reopening before it would stream internet radio
- This app is no where near what it should be from a company like Klipsch
- Had the same experience as others with dropped speakers, etc
- Either figure it out, or make everything Bluetooth and drop the dts Play-Fi
- More times than not, it drops a speaker or the music stops while it tries to reconnect
- Not a great experience in the middle of a party
- Speakers should not stop working every time there is a software ‘upgrade’
- This update, just like the last, turns a perfectly working speaker into one that does not work at all
- The last update required several hours work before the speaker was functional again
- Why do you repeatedly release updates that do not work?
- I was perfectly happy with the original version
- It’s a speaker. It should play music regardless of what updates are pushed through the apple store
- Maby the worst app ever created
- It demands updates almost ever time I try and mostly give up
- For every update it ask for the serial number on back that is microscopic
- Great hardware. Awful software.
- Wish I had read reviews before trying to go wireless with Klipsch
- Love the sound, am very frustrated with everything else
- Hours wasted for what now feels like overpriced speakers
- Wireless though? Not worth your time as the apps are finicky at best and a month in I’ve spent more time trying to troubleshoot than I care to think about
- Make better software and I’ll change my view
- Right now I’d offload these for a very expensive loss if I had the heart to put this on someone else...
- It would be a 4 or 5 if the app would stay connected more reliably
- Some days it won't connect at all, others it connects fine but loses connection after a period of listening
- When it works, it works great, I just wish that was more often
- System is very unstable from a software perspective
- If the update it keeps telling me I need was ever available might fix it but the update never works
- System disconnects all the time
- Bad software
- Hope the update comes through and will be much more stable aystem
