Nice review Jorgen, love the way you slid through features without missing details. I have an old JBL 20 speaker and was amazed at the sound of that little thing but am wanting to upgrade and put it in a remote area of the home for more Google coverage and thought I’d put a Citation in the main room. Harmon Carden is a favorite and yet I’ve bid on a Home Max already. If that falls through I’ll step back and look for this speaker line next.
@@jorgenmalmo Still am looking at a Citation 300 and let Google Max go to another bidder. These were the two I narrowed down but think this is the more aesthetic product. That’s not what should sell a thing and for me it’s hard comparing specs. Is it better to have a Diamidium magnet and sound canceling dual microphones, or should focus be speaker size/watts? Which of these actually has in real life a better sounding speaker, a functional Google response? Buying online is hard because I depend on people who have had physical access to products so I turn to you and ask which would you purchase for yourself and why? No presssure intended, curious! 😅 I respect and trust your opinion.
I dont think so. As you need the software from the smartphone. I did fint this. Where they say no support for PC :( support.harmanaudio.com/fi/fi/howto/hk-citation-what-you-need-to-get-started-emea/000017310.html
What i can think of is the bluetooth version. Nokia 2 have bluetooth 4.1 do i think. I think that is a slow version. So maybe it can be something like that. Or what do you think?
Are you facing problems with AirPlay and apple RUclips streaming? I have a citation 300 and after the last firmware update it always disconnects after changing between videos in RUclips app on Apple TV
Not sure if you can do that. Maybe can you sett in your router that the address it gets updates from is bocked. That could be one way you could get around it.
@@jesussantiago9738 have you tested recently? i can't found any mention of airplay 2 on harman's website, but the citation 300 appears on the official apple airplay 2 speakers list. I want to buy one, but only works for me with airplay 2 compatibility.
@@fp44444 Hello Felipe. yes I had two Citation 500 and both works with Airplay 2, I always had issues with the Bluetooth quality connection, so I ve never back to use it with it, just with Airplay, after that I sell both and buy two Sonos Five, it has not bluetooth connection but I can tell you something : I don't regret my decision, Quality and bass is amazing.
@@jesussantiago9738 have you ever own or heard a Citation 300? Im from Brazil, the Sonos speakers are really expensive here, Harmans are more affordable. Its for a small space, complementing a main system. Thanks for your time!
@@jorgenmalmo You can connect it with an tv thru bluetooth, with one speaker you dont's have any delays, if you have them connected as an pair it is horrible, delays up to 2 or 3 seconds
@@lucsligchers oki.. today tv getting more and more bluetooth tech in them. So thats nice :) It did sound that as a pair did they not work so good then :(
That's a tough question. I have not tested how good the sound gets with 2 Ones in stereo. I think that I would try 2 Ones in stereo. Because I would like to have the sound from more than one place.
Citation One in stereo pair gices you just that. Stereo. With left and right speaker same as any google speaker. I do believe that the 100, 300 and 500 can be stereo paired as well. You do however need either 2 Citation One (1st gen) or Citation One mk2 (2nd gen). You cannot pair a 1st gen with a 2nd gen.

@@angzander8536 Yes I have, I have two Citation 300's and One Citation one. I've tested a home Max, Home max has more base the a Citation one, But the quality is no where near in reproduction.

The 200's are similar but with two passive radiators and 10watts extra performance.

when i use bluetooth for audio streaming from my nokia 2 to this speaker, sound quality is no good. why is that?

moi aussi mais principalement avec un pc apple
my citation 300 has lags in the music when i use bluetooth, it will be fixable by an update or my citation was faulty
See if you can test with another device
how to stop auto updating of HK cit. 300?
Not sure if you can do that. Maybe can you sett in your router that the address it gets updates from is bocked. That could be one way you could get around it.
Hi! How to turn off this speaker? Sorry maybe stupid question but i can’t see a button
You can't. It just goes into standby
@@jorgenmalmo Wow that’s interesting, thanks for the response!
What is the title of the song with the guitar?
Is it this one you mean?
artlist.io/song/8644/la-alegria-del-valle
Would the 500 be worth the significance higher price? I want to use it in my kitchen (4,5 m x 7,5m) with the ceiling @ 3m.
The 500 is not worth buying over 300 for a smaller room. I would get two 300s for R/L stereo.
Did you buy the 500 or the 300?
@@jorgenmalmo I bought the 300, big enough for my kitchen 👍

Yes, The Citation speakers now has Airplay 2 support

Did you listen by any chance to Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 5/6? If yes, how would you compare this to them? Thanks in advance!
unfortunately not
Is there a sound delay when connected to a tv?
I dont think you can connect it to a tv without the soundbar.

Great review. But did I read Harman Gardon in the beginning?
He he yes it looks like I did put a G there.. Omg 😂
How do you think the citation speakers sound compared to the voice assistant Marshall speakers?
I have not tested those so I can unfortunate not tell you
Great review! Would you recommend going for a 300 or pair 2 Ones in stereo?
That's a tough question. I have not tested how good the sound gets with 2 Ones in stereo. I think that I would try 2 Ones in stereo. Because I would like to have the sound from more than one place.
Pair Ones takes two mono sound in different places
If you have two will it play left channel through one and right channel through the other?
Have same question can be play them together as left and right channel. और combine them in 5.1 setup
Citation One in stereo pair gices you just that. Stereo. With left and right speaker same as any google speaker. I do believe that the 100, 300 and 500 can be stereo paired as well. You do however need either 2 Citation One (1st gen) or Citation One mk2 (2nd gen). You cannot pair a 1st gen with a 2nd gen.
What's your favorite google assistant command?
why my citation 300 has so little bass it does not feel like Harman's speaker at all

@@chvis002 tror inte det finns på svenska än tyvärr. Sökte lite här och kunde inte hitta det i alla fall. Men lär nog komma.

How is bass on it bc I like bass

Is the sound better then Google home max?

It's way better. Max doesn't even come close to Citation 300 or even the Citation one for that matter
Stanllay by the way have you tested both of them?
