I received a KICKER K3 Set for this review. I was not financially compensated for this post. My opinions are my own and not by any means influenced by any other part
I love my music to be sharp, clear and yes, loud! So the sound quality for me is very important and is something I take very seriously. So when I look for a system for music I want to make sure it is capable of delivering great quality sound and it can perform as needed…Kicker Performance Audio products are very popular among the male population, especially when it comes to the KICKER line of high-performance components for car audio (no big surprise as men love big and loud music).
I have tried a few different KICKER products and have always been very impressed with the quality and sound delivery of all KICKER products I have tried. I live in a condo, so space is limited, and I am always looking for space savvy products.
This year I want to introduce you to the KICKER Amphitheater K3 that while compact in size delivers the quality and sound performance I expect from a KICKER product.
The KICKER Amphitheater K3 is a medium sized , easy to carry light weight system which is the first KICKER wireless speaker system to possess aptX® audio coding technology.
AptX encoded audio fits neatly within the available bandwidth of wireless transmission standards to offer an efficient solution for band-width restricted connections, providing music aficionados the suitability of Bluetooth without giving up music quality. My husband is a computer engineer and he say’s that type of technology is very advanced.
In addition, the KICKER Amphitheater K3 with aptX® audio coding technology also features a specially tuned-port enclosure and mid-bass woofers that delivers superior bass response for a live-performance sound that is simply amazing.
The integrated amplifier with DSP provides a rich, full-range performance
The KICKER Amphitheater K3 has an integrated digital signal processor (DSP), for better quality signal.
Near-field communication (NFC) technology
One feature that I have not seen in the other KICKER products, is the near-field communication (NFC) technology included in this unit. The near- field feature, allows you to link your device with a single, physical tap between your KICKER Amphitheater K3 and your device.
It is very important that is you want to connect a Bluetooth device, you make sure the Bluetooth input is selected. You do this by pressing down the button with the Bluetooth symbol which will turn purple, then you will need to pair your device which is really easy… Just press and hold the Bluetooth auxiliary button which will flash blue( make sure the Bluetooth option is enabled on your device and you should find the Amphitheater K3 in your list of devices…it took just a few seconds on my test. If your device asks for a pass code, you can enter 0000. In my scenario, did not need to enter a passcode.
Aux-in and USB
I stream all my music through my iPod, but if you do not own a blue tooth device, the KICKER Amphitheater K3 with aptX Aux input allows you to use non blue tooth devices, and it also has a USB port that charges and powers all external media devices so your battery doesn’t drain down… I Love this feature as I do not need to worry about the device running out of battery in the middle of a party or get together.
Very easy to use
The KICKER Amphitheater K3 was design with the user in mind and it is completely hassle free so anyone can use this device with no problems at all! The KICKER Amphitheater K3 features four function buttons on top of the unit to give users fingertip control and it has LED status indicators also located on top of the unit so it is simple for anyone to use and the system is easily operated in a darkened room.
The new KICKER Amphitheater K3 with aptX has a retail price of $179.95 and is on sale right now for only $129.95!

I like the Solo-Baric L7 Subwoofer. These subwoofers are amazing. The sound create in combination with a sealed enclosure is incredible. HUGE sound from tiny size woofers. this sub was meant for one thing only,! deep bass!
I’d love the Kicker Cypher performance headphones. They’d work great when I’m out skating, not having to stop and pull out my phone to change songs. Not to mention, i could answer the phone mid grind 🙂 They’d perfectly drown out all the anxiety and fear while riding too.
I would also like to try a pair of their SubWoofers. I love Kicker, they are from Stillwater, OK. I graduated from Stillwater HS, haha.
I would love the Vapor headphones! I would use them for talking on the phone as well as for listening to books and music. They would be awesome for traveling! One time recently I wished I had these? When the guy across the street cleans the street with his blower!
I would like to try the CYPHER Performance In-Ear Monitors. I need a good set of earbuds.
I’ve had an iPhone for a few years now and have a lot of my music MP3’s on it. I don’t always have a way to play that music, though, and I can remember when I had my rescue’s dogs at a local boarding facility, I really wanted to be able to play music – for myself and the dogs. I could have really used something like the AMPHITHEATER Bluetooth speaker system.
It’ s been a LLLLOOOONG time since we could afford quality music products. Well, over 20 years and with all these kids! So that said, I was telling our kids how they have NEVER really experience music like we used to. I mean, they have their little ipod music and small speakers, or they plug in and tune out the world with mediocre sound (which is also essentially probably WORST on their hearing than using speakers and not having headphones directly wired a half inch from their brains. So, I have been asking for years…for a good speaker system and a receiver….like the old fashioned stereos we used to have but with WAY more KICK. The KB6000 Full Range sounds like it would deliver! We have a basement family room that is pretty shabby…love to add a pool table and this unit and be able to crank it up! Would have loved to have a nicer speaker like the k3 when we had our daughter’s grad party at a park. Dang, it was lame. We had a little boom box from the 90’s. Boo! I still do not have an ipod or ipad , Lacking tech here and am laughed at by my kids cuz’ I am so old school. Love to turn the tables and get a nice unit in here and have THEM tell ME to turn that DOOooooowWWWnnnn! LOL>
I like the CUSH TALK headphones
I would also be interested in a SubStation
I would love to try the KB6000 Full-Range Enclosure System. My family always stuggles with having to drag a huge portable music system outside when entertaining. We recently had a large graduation party in our backyard and these would have come in so handy. What’s a party without music and no matter how good the music is, you need a great speaker to truly enjoy it.
I would love the https://www.kicker.com/CUSH_TALK. My son would really enjoy these. I am not very good when it comes to this type of thing but they sound great. I like that they can talk on the phone with these, listen to music, etc. Thank you for this opportunity
I’d love to try the HP541TJ Headphones. While I have good wired and BT earbuds, there are many times at home I miss a high-quality set of earphones. The HP541TJ Headphones would be a great solution-great sound, comfort, multiple controls, and 2 wire options.
I’d also love to have the Vapor headphones. They look really nice and are definitely cool looking! The ear pads are a really unique design and shape that I haven’t seen before. We need to upgrade all of our music items, speakers, headphones, etc, so we could use any of these.
I would also love to try the Vapor headphones in black and yellow. I like the look of these headphones and the features are great. All of their headphones look wonderful really.
I would love to try the HP541TJ_Headphones. I enjoy listening to music. And I think these would be comfortable to wear and sound fantastic.
Another item from Kicker that I would LOVE to have is the HP541TJ Headphones! I use ear buds for when I am walking – but it would be SO nice to have some comfy and quality headphones for home!
https://www.kicker.com/Comp_Loaded_Enclosures Need some Bass in the Mustang.. Put some junk in the trunk as it were. lol
I would love to have this deck for outdoors to listen to music when we are having dinner outside. I would also like to have the Cypher ear buds.

I want the CUSH TALK headphones. I wish I had this at the beach. Thanks for the giveaway!
The Vapor headphones also look great. I wish I had them on a long international flight as they would help pas the time with minimal added fatigue. The product reviewed also looks great!
Another product I would love to have is the HP541TJ Headphones. We went on a long car ride recently to Colorado and I needed these headphones to listen to my music. I hate bluegrass and that is all my husband wants to listen to.
I like the Vapor headphones. I wish I had them when my husband is listening to his music and then I can listen to mine.
He likes jazz and I like blues.

I like the Solo-Baric L7 which I used to have until someone liberated then from my car. Anyway they give off great sound and don’t take up too much space… especially now.
Vapor headphones would be an awesome giveaway. They look well built. Very stylish.
I like the Crush talk headphones. I could really use a pair of these.
My favorite are the Crush talk head phones. These are so nice. I will be purchasing a set of these. I just love them.
I like the little portable, KPw Bluetooth Speaker, to run with my mp3 player outdoors.
I would love to have the HP541TJ Headphones. all of my headphones are really old. I listen to music daily and these would come in handy.
i went to the kicker site, and i like the headphones.. to be exact i like the HP541TJ Headphones … my headphones i had broke…the plastic cracked like 10 times had to duct tape them and they barley hold.. so i wish i had those, basically everyday
I really like the vapor headphones I could use those for school and when I am out traveling or just for a morning jog.. My head phones are really old and the foam is ripping in some parts.
I like the Vapor headphones. I would use the speaker at softball practice. It seems to make the girls practice and play better. We could have used it yesterday when we had a 6 hour wait between games. I think it would have kept the girls jazzed up and ready to play. Thank you!
I like the L7 Loaded Enclosures. The bass would be AWESOME on the road! It’s very sturdy, too. I could go for that in a big way!
I love the VAPOR headphones! I wish I had had those with me on the last trip I took, mine broke on the trip & I really needed a pair. I love the way the VAPOR’s look & I bet they are really comfy too. I love my music!
it would have been nice to have had this at my son’s baseball games. I was trying to find some walk on songs for him and his friends/teammates. I also like the amphiteather btl.
KMLC seems to be really neat looking i like this but i so some other things i like as well but this seems to catch my eye for my son
I would lov ethese HP201 Headphones. The description they give sounds great and I love the style. I would have to keep them away from my children
I also like the substation. thank you
I like the substation. It would be wonderful for all our electronics. Thank you for the chance!
I’d like to try the Vapor Headphones. Right now I just use some very cheap earbuds. I wish I had them to use while I’m ironing to help the time pass more quickly. Yes, I really know how to live large. Ha! Ha!
I’d like to try the Vapor Headphones. They’re great for traveling because they fold for easy storage. They’re comfortable and the cord doesn’t tangle. They have a multi-function remote and deliver great sound. They sound perfect.
I like the amphitheater bluetooth a lot. It would have come in really handy at our last cookout to have some music playing for everyone. I’d love to win this!
I truly like and appreciate the Vapor headphones. When i go onto websites with audio technology, the headphones are usually one of the first places that i go. You just can’t beat a great pair of headphones. These are the kind of headphones i was probably thinking of last week when thinking that i need a new pair.
I’d love to have one of these on my trail riding trips. There’s no way to get headphones under my helmet, but this would work perfect. I would also really like to try the vapor headphones. They are stylish but still look comfortable
I would love the Vapor headphones! I would use them for talking on the phone as well as for listening to books and music. They would be awesome for traveling! One time recently I wished I had these? When the guy across the street cleans the street with his blower
Another product I would like to try is the HP541TJ Headphones. They appear to be very high quality. I wish I had the KICKER K3 while exercising at home.
I’d really like to give the Vapor headphones a try. The design looks very interesting.
I also really like the HP541TJ Headphones. They are so comfy & stylish looking. I could use this when we go camping.
I like the FLOW TALK headphones
I like the “Flow” earbuds. I’ve been looking for a nice pair and these look like they meet all of my needs. Thank you!
I looked into the Cush Talk headphones. They looked comfortable and they even come with a microphone. (I have some grandkids that would love to sing along!) I like to listen to audio books and do my walking at the same time. These would do the job without breaking the bank. Ultra light, smooth finish and a non-tangling flat cable. All sound good to me.
I like the CUSH TALK Headphones! The headphines have ultimate combination of comfort, style and sound quality and a microphone. I also like that the headphones have an ultra-lightweight design.
couple of years ago at a beach party no music.the person that was to bring the music cancel out.no call was made .this would have been great.
I’d also like the HP201 Headphones, and wish I had them when I’m listening to music on the computer.
I would like to try the HP541TJ Headphones. My kids have broke most of the other pairs I have brought over the years. These seem like they would be durable and would have good sound quality.
I wish I had them with me on my last road trip so I could listen to my own music. I also love the CUSH TALK headphones, I would use these to listen to music while I work on my laptop.
I would like about 4 of the 15″ CompR (CompR15) subwoofers to add to my home theater system. I would build an enclosure for them and connect them to my existing 800 watt subwoofer amplifier for much better bass than the 2 12″ subwoofers that I have righ now.
Another item I like is the KPW Bluetooth Speaker
I like the KS-Series Coaxial & 3-Way Speakers. I speakers our blown in my vehicle and I need to replace them and these look great!
I really like the Vapor Headphones. They sound like they would work great. Plus, I have definitely been needing some new headphones!
I like the VAPOR Headphones. I would have loved to had a speaker system at my cookouts this summer.

The cypher ear buds are nice. This would be great for our patio.
I like the Cush Talk headphones. I wish I’d had the speaker while grilling outside.
I like the Kicker Red! I wish I had one of these for work. This is a great giveaway!
KB6000 Full-Range Enclosure System – speakers – The time I wish I would have had this product is when my children were small. They all loved to listen to music especially at bedtime. thank you
Sub station looks like a product we could use
I would love to use this for when people come over. We are always entertaining and playing music and this would be perfect for any area of our house. I would like to try the vapor headphones also. They have a unique style and I like the black and yellow color.
I would love to have the Vehicle Specific Solutions speakers. I have a 1981 Chevy pick up and boy is it loud inside. I love to rock out to Carman when I drive and I wish I had had these when I took the long drive to visit my mom. Maybe then I could have heard the music lol.

I want the L7 Loaded Enclosures, it would look great in my car. And I would love to have a wireless speaker when we have parties.
I would like the Vapor Headphones. I wish I had these every day when my daughter is playing the Ipad in the car. LOL. We got her some kid headphones because we were worried about the volume damaging her tiny ears. Only problem was they broke the first week. Also, we realized she is sensitive to loud noises, so I don’t think we’d have a problem with regular ones.
I would love to try the KX.5 amplifier for my car. I really wish I had one of these when I took a trip to Myrtle Beach, SC. It would have made listening to the radio so much better.
I love it loud and would enjoy the AMPHITHEATER Bluetooth 2.
I’d love the KPw Bluetooth Speaker
Thanks for the giveaway… we like the PHENOM earbuds; they look like a durable product that will not come apart after a few months i.e. Kevlar-reinforced, braided cloth cable with slider for less tangling and incredible durability
I also like the KX-Series Amplifiers for my car. I’d use this for my road trips with friends. I’d use the Kicker K3 Wireless Speaker System for when I’m outside working in the yard.
The Cush Talk earphones seem great! I would’ve loved the speaker at work!
