The Klipsch 2.1 should have the sound pod attached to the lower part of one of the speakers. It doesn't come out easily, so it may seem like it is permanently attached. You can tell because if you bend the plastic speaker casing slightly you can see the seam between the pod and the speaker. Obviously if it was permanently attached you wouldn't see the seam and it would be one plastic case. It takes a lot of strength but it should come off.
