The speaker sounds great. I use it with my computer and iPad, playing music and watching videos. The bass is deep and powerful. Good volume of sound for the size. I also like that I can take it with me.

Great sound and easy to setup

This wireless speaker is a little dynamo. fills up most living rooms with crisp, clear sound. Easy to pair via Bluetooth, battery holds up very well. portable , but you wont be able to carry it in a backpack

Packs a punch!

Great speaker it just quit taking a charge. How do i get it fixed! Don't think this should happen in a years time. Kinda expensive to just throw away.

Won't take a charge and can't find support to fix

has to be plugged in to use after only 3 months - very disappointing

3 months in and wont hold a charge

I was looking to replace a my old portable speakers, I got on of these and it works great. I use it in my bedroom and when I go outside. Easy setup with bluetooth and network.

Great Sounding Speaker

Great battery life. Looks great..Sounds amazing. And is extremly portable

Great Speaker

Worked fine for about a year. Now it won't hold a charge or something

Quits after a few minutes

I bought two of these speakers thing I could pair them . Well was I disappointed.

no thanks

I heard this speaker when I visited my Dad. And I loved it so much I had to order one for myself. Sound is loud and clear . Good balance between highs and mids and the Bass is deep.

The sound is just amazing!!!

I got this speaker as a replacement for my Onyx Studio 2 which I returned because of it's flimsy legstands that tend to break overtime for which I'm sure several buyers have experienced.
I'm glad that they came up with a redesigned sturdy legstands which is the one I'm reviewing now.
Sound quality for all Onyx models are basically identical and all of them have Robust sound considering how small the drivers are.  At fist glance you would think that it that the whole unit is the driver itself especially when you hear the bass output it makes. But you will surprise to find out when you remove the front speaker cover that it's only a speaker case housing 4 small drivers and two passive radiators. Not to mention the amplifier and function controls in it.
It's amazing what great electronics and passive radiators can do to deliver full full bodied sound with outstanding clarity and power for such small speaker drivers.  the only thing is you have to pay big time to own it. Buying it on black Friday is the way bto go.

Excellent lows & highs for it's size

Just used it at a cookout.    The audio playback is excellent.  Everyone was able to connect so we could enjoy each other's music!!

Awesome

I bought this some year ago and it is mostly useless. I was going to use it as a kitchen radio but people talking sounds really bad in this speaker. You have to turn it up alot just to hear what they are saying. Music gets to much bass no matter where you place the speaker. The bass/treble knob that has been with us since the dawn of radios and music machines are not present here for some reason and the app that lets you configure the speaker is of no use to anybody.

When i connect the speaker by cable it goes to sleep as soon as it looses signal and take a while to wake up. That is annoying! The support is telling me to crank the volume on the input, a bad idea if you do not want bad sound and useless if you have a good source without noise in the background.

The wi-fi connectivity is good if you are willing to sacrifice the availability of internet. The bt is ok if you can stand going into the settings of your music device everytime you want to connect to the speaker. For me: I bought an old radio from the 70s and it is easy to plug into the ipad with a cable, it has a treble/bass knob, it never goes to sleep and the mid-range is better, it does not add a sense of "loudness" to my music and it was dirt cheap.

No eq, goes to sleep when you don't want it to.

I have had my speaker for a year now, and love, love, love the sound. For such a small speaker the sound it outstanding! My friends, don't realize what I am talking about until I turn it on and turn it up. Great for a round the bonfire.

how i can use my onyx as speaker for my pc with wi

CONNECT TO PC

Powerful, strong, clear, good quality, killer volume suitable for parties. Excellent.

Outstanding!

Excellent portable home speaker and excellent buy !

Harman Kardon Onyx Studio . So compact dimensions and the sound is like a large floor speakers ! Amazing sound ! Deep rumbling low tones (no distortion , any volume level and kontrabass/double bass sounds like a real instrument , very good mid tones and vocal, clear, ringing high sounds ! Depending on the device. Pc, smartphone or whatever the Bluetooth audio device (I myself use sound equipment, which all have a 24 bit 192kHz DAC). Universal: plays and performs all music genres very well !Plays very good low-quality MP3 files - 24bit 192kHz music files ! If it is plugged in to electric socket, you will be playing a much higher volumes and even purer sound ! Every day more and more want to listen to music through the Harman Kardon Onyx Studio ! There are many different qualities of music and videos in the internet and this is the best universal ,compact , bluetooth loudspeaker in its class !

Excellent ! If this speaker is placed on the rear closed shelf , then you hear the sound even more powerful and deeper bass ! It is this type of speaker with the usual open-box serves as a megaphone! Try a variety of shelves and open wooden crates! This universal speaker sound is excellent every way and in any kind open box !

Excellent !

Im totally satisfied with this product. You can't believe what those are capable of

Outstanding

Love love love this speaker.. Had a malfunction with my first one and mailed it back and will be receiving a new one in about 2-3 days!! Edgar worked with me about my issue and he has been nothing but helpful and pleasant!!

Great Speaker, Great customer service!!!

I got this for a Black Friday deal as it was about 300 dollars off its regular price, it was a steal so I took it. So far I am absolutely amazed by what it has done for me so far, definitely the best portable speaker I've ever had, one problem I did notice although, which is the reason I'm writing this review, is the passive radiator on the back of the device, at any volume, it makes a noise with heavy bass, it sounds as if someone is tapping on the metal, I can hear the noise at any given volume, I have also noticed that with some songs, at about half volume the back radiator almost cannot take the bass and I thought I was going to blow it so I quickly turned the volume down, you could see the metal not coming in and out perfectly straight but bouncing side to side and then in and out, the noise also sounded very airy and I feared for the speaker, the song was emotional-flux pavilion. I do not know if this is just my speaker but this definitely is a letdown.

Back side passive radiator

I bought a speaker and as soon I sent them in the information they mailed me a brand new, one edition newer! Great customer service to work with.

Best Costumer Service

why 4 star cuz i'm having problem with windows 7 milion mail and asking for new driver never worked, other device work amazing

AMAZING

I purchased this in December and I have barely used it and now after 7 months it is not working anymore!!

I think sound quality is good, but i swear i use it like half an hour a day to listen to some Jazz music and thats all, i never took the unit outside my home even! the durability of this speaker is very low

I think i have made a mistake buying this one, could have gone for much cheaper options!

not working after 7 months of very very light usag

I've had several bluetooth speakers in the past, this one is by far the best!!! Everything about it outperforms the rest. The sound is unbeatable. Most bluetooth speakers are easy to use, but this one never fails or disconnects like all others occasionally do. Sound is crisp and clear, but it can also bump!! I use this around the house more than my home audio system.

Amazing!!!

I out did myself this time!! WOW what an incredible purchase and I just walked up on it!!!! Totally Awesome!!!

Fantastic Purchase!!!

I bought this a few weeks ago and purchased an auxiliary cable to get sound from my TV to the HK but it didn't work. I tried playing the the sound options but still can't figure it out. Is there another cable that I should have bought?

My auxilliary Cable isn't working on my TV

I've had the Onyx Studio for a few weeks now, and I am very impressed and still surprised by its sound quality and clarity. For such a small package it has exceptional sound, bass, highs and never muffled. Love thats it portable and battery last for hours at high volumes. We take it to the beach and love it, South Florida is a perfect place for this. As far as price I got mine on an incredible deal (Sprint store $149) so sorry for those who paid regular price. But price has nothing to do with the quality. Best portable speaker I've seen and I'm a music lover.

Unbelievable quality!

Wow, talking about carrying a big stick. This system is small, powerful and clear. The bass booms with a clear sharp rumble. Perfect for Jazz.

Great Sound!

I just purchased this unit from Harman Kardon direct. The sound quality is fantastic. Looks great. Love the bluetooth, flexibility.

Outstanding speaker

I PURCHASED IT THIS MONTH AND HAVE NOT STOPPED USING IT, GREAT

GREAT PRODUCT

I was introduced to Onyx Studio by first sight...amazed at the design. Connected to sound source..."gotta get it" hit my brain before I could think about it!!

Got it!!

No product is perfect, but.....

This one comes close.

Thanks Harmon/Kardon for increasing my life's quality quotient!!
