Our Verdict

Klipsch The One II

Klipsch Groove XXL

The Klipsch Groove XXL is a more portable alternative to the Klipsch The One II. The One is a wired-only speaker, meaning it must be plugged into an outlet to work. On the other hand, the Groove offers the flexibility of battery power, so you can take it with you on the go. The One is made of more premium materials, and its retro design may suit your tastes.
