Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 4 Wireless Bluetooth Speaker White (New Model)

This is an EXCELLENT bluetooth speaker for a stellar price. For reference, I own/have owned the Bose Soundlink Mini and Color, Sony SRS-55, JBL and UE Roll.-The music coming from this speaker sounds incredible. I am not an expert by any means concerning speakers but I do know when the music sounds crystal clear, has great depth, good resonance and simply sounds wonderful. This is that speaker. It\'s like the same music but amplified in terms of detail; you almost feel as if you\'re sitting in a concert hall and you\'re rediscovering your favorite music again for the 1st time. I thought the Bose Soundlink Mini sounded good as well but had serious issues w/the bluetooth connection w/two separate units( one replaced under warranty) so decided not to trade up to a different Bose model.OTHER PROS:-Price is incredible. You can have one in every room. I don\'t know how they are selling such a stellar speaker for such a bargain. It\'s worth far, far more.-Music has great clarity at both high and low volumes. There\'s no trembling or distortion in the music at higher volumes. You just hear so much more detail w/this speaker than most.-Can connect to 2 bluetooth devices. I have the Sony which can only connect to one device. So I was always shuffling between my IPAD and IPHONE. It doesn\'t sound like a big deal to go to settings, select bluetooth, the device and press it BUT it was a bit of a pain. Now, they\'re both linked to this one speaker and I can answer calls on my iphone and then listen to my music from my ipad effortlessly. Not at the same time of course but it\'s great that the speaker switches between two devices automatically. Thank you. Saving these few seconds in my life every day - I have to laugh myself- has made a world of difference in terms of convenience.-This is a weird thing to like and I\'m not planning on moving this speaker anymore but it has a really nice stable base with these two prongs or feet covered in this springy but still firm rubber. It\'s a hard thing to explain but it\'s a pleasure to place this on your desktop. There\'s no harsh sound or feel of plastic hitting wood or your surface - again, a nice springy, resilient feel is the best way to describe it. Nice touch and I think an indicator of how well thought out this device is in many ways by the engineers.Not cons but things you should know:-as other reviewers have mentioned, it\'s big. Like you\'ve got a relatively flat basketball on your desk big. I have included a photo w/my monitor and mouse for comparison. It takes up a lot of real estate on my desk but you can place it in the back. I\'m okay with this as the unit is white so it\'s not as conspicuous as it could be.-also related to the size. Yes, it\'s portable and there\'s a comfy handle in the book that makes moving the speaker very easy BUT it\'s large; not heavy, just large. So it\'s not something you\'re ever going to take w/you during a short trip or to the car. You MAY move it from room to room but at this price point, you may as well buy several and sprinkle it throughout your home. They have smaller models but the music sounds so good I don\'t want to chance getting a smaller model.-White color. For those that order the white and are potentially planning to move it from room to room, as mentioned, definitely possible but I hope your fingers are clean and you\'re not cooking close to the unit because I think it will get stained. Maybe you can dab the surface w/bleach but I consider myself a really clean, fastidious person and I thought I saw a shadow of stain after a couple of days (which I removed easily w/a dab of window cleaner). So my solution is to buy two more units so I don\'t have to move this unit.CONS:-I actually wasn\'t looking to buy another bluetooth speaker for the music. I felt I had purchased enough and they are all fine but I did want a speaker w/a stellar speaker function as I take a lot of conference calls when I\'m working from home. Reviews indicated great conferencing ability and that I would sound crystal clear and that the call would sound clear. I don\'t find that true. The call sounds slightly muffled and the speakerphone functionality is no better than on my other devices and certainly not better than what I have on my iphone and ipad. This is the primary reason why I am docking one star. 5 stars for listening to music and maybe 2 stars for the speaker phone function but again the music sounds so good I\'m rounding up to 4 stars.-What\'s w/the buttons? Placement might be okay on a smaller device but when you have a device as large as a basketball and you\'re sitting at your desk and you can\'t see the buttons or even really feel them, it\'s annoying. I need to reach BEHIND the front of the speaker to reach the invisible speakerphone button. Also the buttons are really far apart. The power button has got to be 9 inches away from the last button - bluetooth and even 6 inches away from a volume button. The spread is far too wide even when you\'re standing and when you\'re sitting, it seems ridiculous. So biggest opportunity for improvement for all end users I think would be too replace the buttons in a more visible location or at least w/easier access AND reduce the distance between each. It\'s clear that they wanted to array the buttons across the top of the speaker but it\'s just too wide of a distance.However, let me end this review by restating again this is a REALLY GREAT speaker to listen to your music. I\'d forgotten how good music can sound. They must have some incredible components embedded inside of the device. I am going to recommend to all my friends and family members and will give this as a gift during the holidays. Last year I gave the Amazon Echo but this year I\'m thinking it should be this speaker.
I love the sound of this speaker because of the base. It will make your room vibrate. However, when you get further away from the room where the speaker is, the sound will be less present.
I do alot of random stuff & love some good music playing throughout. These are great for just that and roughly anything else that involves portable music to enjoy with others. I\'ve had every inception of these up until the 4th gen... haven\'t needed to upgrade just yet but when I do I\'ll be starting within this line. This is actuality the 2nd I\'ve purchased...I like that you can connect 2+ more. My favorite mode is part mode...full boom to each speaker. Stereo mode with just 2 like i have synced is nice when you\'re trying to be smooth with your lady ;-)
For my personal office.
I liked the quality of the Harmon Karman, I use my speaker for work..
It has great sound quality, and the bass is off the chain. Very much worth the money spent!!!
I first want to say that I owned the 1st generation onyx before this one, so I know what to expect and it is a huge step up. The fact that this one includes all of the international outlet plugs for travelers deserves 5 stars off the bat. Also I want to make something clear, because from all of the comments that I’ve seen it seems like most of you are first time owners. The speaker MUST be plugged in to receive power for all of the drivers for max volume and clarity. Other wise you will just be consuming half of the product. Mine is always plugged in and I rarely take it out so battery life isn’t really a problem for me. The sound is so amazing, even at low volumes you still get little bass bumps. I also love that this one now has a microphone and connection for more speakers. These are 2 features that I really wanted when I had he 1st generation and I’m so glad it’s included now. I plan on buying at least 2 more for surround sound because they are really just that amazing. For the price, these are the best speakers you can buy. Just follow the directions, keep it plugged in all the time if possible and download the app as well.
Pro: pretty good sound (very good for a bluetooth speaker), looks decent, easy to set up, can run off included AC adapter or battery, can play very very loud if desired, great price.Con: needs an eq to fix boomy bass, Downloadable HK apps are utterly worthless and illconceived. Documentation is laughable.My wife has an Oontz 3 Ultra, which she loved, but the sound quality just wasn\'t good enough for my preferences, so I got this for our kitchen to replace a high end (but bulky and messy looking) bookshelf system. Straight out of the box the Onyx produces very exaggerated sound; there\'s a club-like boost to the lower bass (overcompensating for the natural limits of using a small speaker). Fortunately, Spotify (which she uses) includes a decent eq (which took me forever to find, but is easy to set up). The end result is quite satisfactory, and greatly reduces the clutter of cables and boxes of the prior traditional component stack I\'d been using. Her Oontz also struggles at times to be loud enough for her uses (as a boom box for kids yoga/dance during recess), so she\'ll probably steal the onyx occasionally for that.At this price, I suspect it is hands down the best sound for the money. I\'ve heard 3 pc Sonos setups that sounded better, but the cost was ~7x higher.
