It's a great speaker, for sure, with 7 tweeters that go around the front, from left to right, so that when music pans left to right or right to left, it has that full sound that feels like things are moving. My wife and I used it to watch Battlestar Gallactica's remake, and when ships flew by, they RUMBLED by, and it sounded amazing. BUT, now, in 2018, you should check out the Aura STUDIO '2', because it has a battery built into it, so you can take it anywhere you want.
I got one of these when they first came out through sprint they let you pay with your phone bill so they kinda financed it to be honest i loved the looks of it it was $320 but it sounds amazing though probably the best home speaker ive ever had so i bought another for my son dam expensive but after he saw and heard mine he had to have it and he was 18 at the time and we both are some big music lovers especially hip hop ive been a hip hop head my whole life well since i was 11 and im 43 now lol. I also just subbed to the channel actually because of the spirit box with the wax on it that you purchased and then checked out your other content. And love it . keep it up
I wanted to get this when they came out but didn't have the $$$ I have it now I'm checking Amazon and eBay I'll let you know when I land one!!! Excellent presentation Dude!!!
I picked mine up used for $30. You can’t place it just anywhere. Certain areas will produce the best bass. DO NOT get the white one. I have the white one and it’s a pain in the rear end to clean. Keep it out of dusty areas because again, the inside of the acrylic is extremely difficult to clean out. Highs aren’t that crisp, but then again, I’ve never been a tweeker. Overall, it’s an awesome looking speaker and truly a conversation piece. Compliments anything in your home or office.
Harman Kardon speakers have all superb audio quality on any audio genre ! And best audio for price ! High quality sound on any genre of music ! So : very universal sound equipment !
Man does your aura have a squeaking sound on the glass when you played super bass or very loud music? Mine does, like the air is super throttling out of the tube. Hope thats normal
dwayne wilco yeah, it has a 360 effect so that it doesnt matter which way its facing, its hard to describe but the sound is very clear and fills the room with ease. mids and trebles are excellent!
what about the harman kardon Ony studio 3? The Aura studio is better than Onyx Studio? I´m waiting your opinion to decide wich to buy.... Oh... nice video... the best one!!!
Is this a "360° home audio speaker system", minus the middleman ---"The old school shelf receiver"? Does it synchronize with other units--"aka, JBL connect style app"? How many watts output...? It is an interesting "Futurism design". Provides an unusual, slightly organic, or retro-50's tech giant vacuum tube kind of look...Something out of Fallout 4...LOL..!
To me I think the Logitech z313 is better because it has lots of treble and bass because it is well balanced. I saw that you had one mind seed tv. Do you like it?
I got the HK Aura WITH WIFI for just $139 at Newegg! (refurb but who cares) I have a lot of Apple devices and this speaker is AirPlay compatible! Huge thumbs up!
Hi, have you compared and contrasted the sound between the Omni 2 and this Aura? Is there a difference in the sound, which one is the best to listen to movies with???
How about the surround of sound field? Does it feel mono or omnidirectional? You have to sit down in the middle or what for right listening experience?
Three questions: 1. Do you have to connect to some kid of software to adjust the bass? I saw a review that said it, and the person also said its hard to get the software to mesh with a computer in order to do so (adjust the bass).2. It doesn't have Wi-Fi. Can you tell me what the advantages are of having Wi-Fi for a speaker such is this one?3. It's been almost a year-and-a-half since this review. Have you come across anything you'd rate higher than this speaker?Thanks!
Hello! I am writing in an attempt to get some help with my Aura Studio. One day when I was trying to get the volume to max (using the "Vol +" button) the tactile command bar stopped working. So basically now I have a speaker that needs an AUX cable to work and needs to be plugged in and out the outlet for On/Off.. Strangely enough, I was trying to update it and when I kept pressing the "Vol -" + "Hands-free" buttons, the speaker reacted to it and powered off. After that I somehow managed to power it on again, but the tactile commands still don'w work. Do you happen to know, just maybe, if the speaker has got a list of tactile command combinations or something like that? I am thinking (more like hoping) I locked the tactile functions, like you lock your phone or smth. Thank you in advance!
noam27v given that it has 6 mid to high drivers, I think saying good is an understatement. fine tuned by the one and only elegant harman kardon, it's put up against speakers that are tripled if not four times more expensive. can't wait to get mine, I hear so many good things about it.
grab Harman/Kardon HK395 2.1 on ebay it's under 50$ I am on it for the past 8 years bought it used fair condition for $20 from Goodwill =) I can tell you these are the best you will find for the price and they will serve you until you die. =)
Hey Mindseed, I was wondering if you could help me, I went to the second hand store and found some Harmon Kardon speakers, one are the HK695 model and the other are the HK395, I am wondering which you would pick and if they will work on my laptop? probably a stupid question.. thanks
I have the speakers the sub made out of Stone black would break my windows let alone make my next door neighbours action figures look like they're alive! Haha so it doesn't get worked!! So much. The speakers are excellent floor stands are well waited and can be parcel shelf's!! Dynamic sound. 👍👍
I have one of those HK Aura Studio. I agree with this review. (my neighbours did call the cops!) So the only downside to purchasing this thing over the more expensive HK Aura is that the mobile app you can download for the Aura (to change the bass level up/down) only works with the HK Aura, not with this HK Aura Studio. I don't necessarily need the smart features, but it would be very handy to be able to change the bass level and prevent neighbour wars. Does anyone happen to know of a reliable third party app to change the bass level on the HK Aura Studio?
Can someone help me i either want this the Aura or the soundsticks all i care about is the bass and which one is the loudest. Which one best fits those both ?
SweetShot_17 hey, the dome can't be removed and that voids the warranty if you attempt it. The only way to clean it is to shake it off to remove the debris fell inside. Don't attemt to use a vacuum cleaner as it may damage the speaker either. However, if this is something you really need to do and if it's already pas the warranty, there are srews hidden at the bottom. Just remove the rubber foot to reveal them and start from there.
You actually measure the sound quality on the basis of the BASS only? Ridiculous. It may have a cool subwoofer effect, but on every other front (highs, mids, balance) this thing SUCKS!
Okay, so today I'll be reviewing the 'Karmon Hardon'... LOL, I'm not sure anyone caught that. Good stuff. :)
MrKnifeFanatic lol shit happens :)
Yup, I've done the same thing many times :)
So i did hear that right. Well looks like Karman has a Hardon for Harman Kardon products xD
MrKnifeFanatic lol, still a good review thanks!
hahahaha! yeah it's a Harman Kardon clone. :D
"I do speaker reviews"
*pronounces one of the best and biggest speaker brand wrong*
so you don't recommend?
lmao "so you don't recommend?"
Got one yesterday and got the cops called on me after 30 minutes of it playing in my apartment. Couldn't hear the neighbors knocking
Darius Morgan lmao 😂 i speak the truth
really?
I just ordered mine. Great review! I can't wait to get it! I'm going to try it in the car. 💖💖
I just purchased one today, my intention was to purchase a JBL Flip. I'm so glad I changed my mind... I am VERY pleased!!!!
It's been over a year, I was wondering how you felt about the speaker now?
By far the best speaker I’ve ever bought 🙌🏾 in love with it! Cops do end up showing up eventually 😂
It's a great speaker, for sure, with 7 tweeters that go around the front, from left to right, so that when music pans left to right or right to left, it has that full sound that feels like things are moving. My wife and I used it to watch Battlestar Gallactica's remake, and when ships flew by, they RUMBLED by, and it sounded amazing. BUT, now, in 2018, you should check out the Aura STUDIO '2', because it has a battery built into it, so you can take it anywhere you want.
Great sound. Not just bass but the mids/highs sound awesome. Thanks as always.
I have the HK Aura Studio speaker and it's such a great speaker! The sound quality is awesome and the bass really hits hard! 🙃😗
it must be very expensive..bro...but that thing sounds so clear....
Nice work bro and the way you speak is also awesome. Best of luck for future
even the automatic subtitles confirms that you said 'KARMON HARDON' ahahaha rofl !
Hardest thing to clean but the best 😍
I just get one from my son for a birthday present, is amazing sound. I love it.
I got one of these when they first came out through sprint they let you pay with your phone bill so they kinda financed it to be honest i loved the looks of it it was $320 but it sounds amazing though probably the best home speaker ive ever had so i bought another for my son dam expensive but after he saw and heard mine he had to have it and he was 18 at the time and we both are some big music lovers especially hip hop ive been a hip hop head my whole life well since i was 11 and im 43 now lol. I also just subbed to the channel actually because of the spirit box with the wax on it that you purchased and then checked out your other content. And love it . keep it up
just got one today, damn that bass is incredible
Good review. Just ordered it, can't wait... also what song was that playing for the demo?
Well yes this thing is a beast! I bought one to check it out, I'm going to buy three more!!!!!!!!!!
KARMAN HARDON????😆😆😆😆😆
Watchfreak Kumar hahahhaa
Bmw speaker
Do you also get some stuff sponsored if so how?
I love this Aura !!!
That looks awesome.
I wanted to get this when they came out but didn't have the $$$ I have it now I'm checking Amazon and eBay I'll let you know when I land one!!! Excellent presentation Dude!!!
Great review. What is the song of the sound test?
I picked mine up used for $30. You can’t place it just anywhere. Certain areas will produce the best bass. DO NOT get the white one. I have the white one and it’s a pain in the rear end to clean. Keep it out of dusty areas because again, the inside of the acrylic is extremely difficult to clean out. Highs aren’t that crisp, but then again, I’ve never been a tweeker. Overall, it’s an awesome looking speaker and truly a conversation piece. Compliments anything in your home or office.
you should use a binaural microphone to get a better sound quality for the listeners. I can't get a good feel on what your exited about.
I going to cop that.
copped i know what ya meme
Harman Kardon speakers have all superb audio quality on any audio genre ! And best audio for price ! High quality sound on any genre of music ! So : very universal sound equipment !
Man does your aura have a squeaking sound on the glass when you played super bass or very loud music? Mine does, like the air is super throttling out of the tube. Hope thats normal
great review quick question mids and highs come from the top. if so do u here a nice balance all around
dwayne wilco yeah, it has a 360 effect so that it doesnt matter which way its facing, its hard to describe but the sound is very clear and fills the room with ease. mids and trebles are excellent!
Omg that's so bloody awesome dude I want one lol
Matthew Clark bro! trust me when I say it is sickkk, well worth it
I seen one before and heard it it's so fucking awesome dude I want it so fucking bad bro
My neighbors always Jam every times I turn my Onyx Studio on😂😂😂
I wanna use it for my studio and talk about it on my country!!!
Will this sound better than my Bang and Olufsen Beoplay S3?
what about the harman kardon Ony studio 3? The Aura studio is better than Onyx Studio?
I´m waiting your opinion to decide wich to buy....
Oh... nice video... the best one!!!
If you want bass rich 2.1 speakers you SHOULD review the Logitech's Z623, 130 Watts RMS of pure Bass +70W RMS of midrange!!
Is this a "360° home audio speaker system", minus the middleman ---"The old school shelf receiver"? Does it synchronize with other units--"aka, JBL connect style app"? How many watts output...? It is an interesting "Futurism design". Provides an unusual, slightly organic, or retro-50's tech giant vacuum tube kind of look...Something out of Fallout 4...LOL..!
To me I think the Logitech z313 is better because it has lots of treble and bass because it is well balanced. I saw that you had one mind seed tv. Do you like it?
do you think this would be loud enough for a small party
Kardon Harman speaker?Is it new. Listen to the first few seconds. If you cannot get a name right can you review it?
thanks for the review bro! I've always wanted one of these, but the price isn't on my budget 😂😅
I got the HK Aura WITH WIFI for just $139 at Newegg! (refurb but who cares) I have a lot of Apple devices and this speaker is AirPlay compatible! Huge thumbs up!
Hi, have you compared and contrasted the sound between the Omni 2 and this Aura? Is there a difference in the sound, which one is the best to listen to movies with???
How about the surround of sound field? Does it feel mono or omnidirectional? You have to sit down in the middle or what for right listening experience?
nerd Mike omnidirectional. doesnt matter where it is in the room. it feels the space evenly
Good review
does it have an AUX port? also this or harman kardon onyx studio 2 or harman kardon suundsticks III ?
Three questions: 1. Do you have to connect to some kid of software to adjust the bass? I saw a review that said it, and the person also said its hard to get the software to mesh with a computer in order to do so (adjust the bass).2. It doesn't have Wi-Fi. Can you tell me what the advantages are of having Wi-Fi for a speaker such is this one?3. It's been almost a year-and-a-half since this review. Have you come across anything you'd rate higher than this speaker?Thanks!
will the smart feature affects the sound quality?
Hello! I am writing in an attempt to get some help with my Aura Studio. One day when I was trying to get the volume to max (using the "Vol +" button) the tactile command bar stopped working.

Thank you in advance!
So if it have high bass it's looks like it good for club music only. What about pop, rock music ? How that sound ?
noam27v given that it has 6 mid to high drivers, I think saying good is an understatement. fine tuned by the one and only elegant harman kardon, it's put up against speakers that are tripled if not four times more expensive. can't wait to get mine, I hear so many good things about it.
You said Karman Hardon at the beginning...😂😂😂
I got one but can you make the light colorful ?
can this be made into a 2.1 system, for example together with soundstick III monitors?
my apartments call the cops on me often, but I have 2 10s 2 12s and a 15. and they're all subs
you don't live in U.S.A right. because in your last vid you said it was summer
T1GR3S13 lol i do live in the USA, when did i say it was summer in the last video?
T1GR3S13 lol maybe i was drunk 😁😂
Mind Seed TV when you cut your hair
T1GR3S13 oh thats an old video! when I uploaded that one it was summertime
Does it have dual sound, like the HK Onyx Studio 3? (example: can i connect two Auras at the same time?)
hey dude, which one is the best, aura studio or onyx studio 3?
I'm so confuse after watching this video :( :\ :| :\ :|
super star lol the aura! more bass and fills the room better
grab Harman/Kardon HK395 2.1 on ebay it's under 50$ I am on it for the past 8 years bought it used fair condition for $20 from Goodwill =) I can tell you these are the best you will find for the price and they will serve you until you die. =)
Would this work with the sound sticks III from Harman Kardon?
Hey Mindseed, I was wondering if you could help me, I went to the second hand store and found some Harmon Kardon speakers, one are the HK695 model and the other are the HK395, I am wondering which you would pick and if they will work on my laptop? probably a stupid question.. thanks
Holy shit I want that jellyfish!
The only thing cons on this is the power button is soft to touch and when u accidentally touch it will turn off everyting .
How do you turn off the bluetooth? Trying to run a cable directly to the unit.
Just plug your aux in and start playing music and it should work. At least for me. If not just disconnect your bluetooth device from it.
Compared to the harman kardon go play? Is it way better
just different - it's a better home-in-place speaker
I have the speakers the sub made out of Stone black would break my windows let alone make my next door neighbours action figures look like they're alive! Haha so it doesn't get worked!! So much. The speakers are excellent floor stands are well waited and can be parcel shelf's!! Dynamic sound. 👍👍
We have the same speaker lad!
What about compared to aiwa exos 9, jbl extreme, monster blaster, diamond boxx?
which is better sound stanmore or aura?
Y am i not the first anymore?? Great review!
Rob Rod lol thanks bro!
Is it better than B&O S3 ?
whats that song at the end
I have one of those HK Aura Studio. I agree with this review. (my neighbours did call the cops!) So the only downside to purchasing this thing over the more expensive HK Aura is that the mobile app you can download for the Aura (to change the bass level up/down) only works with the HK Aura, not with this HK Aura Studio. I don't necessarily need the smart features, but it would be very handy to be able to change the bass level and prevent neighbour wars.
Does anyone happen to know of a reliable third party app to change the bass level on the HK Aura Studio?
Try Voice Meeter app connected through your pc
Can someone help me i either want this the Aura or the soundsticks all i care about is the bass and which one is the loudest. Which one best fits those both ?
Does it have a headphone jack input?
yes it does :)
IT loooooks soo Nice
Does anyone know if the dome on this can be removed for cleaning?
SweetShot_17 hey, the dome can't be removed and that voids the warranty if you attempt it. The only way to clean it is to shake it off to remove the debris fell inside. Don't attemt to use a vacuum cleaner as it may damage the speaker either. However, if this is something you really need to do and if it's already pas the warranty, there are srews hidden at the bottom. Just remove the rubber foot to reveal them and start from there.
How do you adjust the bass ?
if you have the aura app, yes, but you will have to buy the aura, not the aura studio
I think this thing lacks a little bit of power looking at the size
How to turn down bass on the Studio version ? Please someone tell me that I can :D ...:S
So can anyone confirm if the speaker is the same with the AURA? I don't need those wifi airplay thing.
Lasdil Elizaga the studio doesn't require airplay, they can both be used via bluetooth or via 3.5 mm aux cord
Carmen Hardon?
I just got mine today...can't figure out how to charge it. I want to use the speaker w/o it being plugged in. So wirelessly...lol how do I do so?
wirelessly means bluetooth, it needs to be plugged in
The new Karman/Hardon Aura Studio 2 😂
0:3 seconds karman hardon😂😂😂😂😂
This is the aura, not the auro studio...
If you like great bass, and dont mind paying extra, check out the Devialet Silver Phantom :)
you meant harman cardon not Karman pardon :)
ssdfsdf sdfds no he was right
Fail - - - - - - > did I ear '' Karman hard on ''?? Wtf? It's Harman Kardon dude....
noice!!
First second of the video and you MISPRONOUNCE NAME OF THE PRODUCT !
3:08 ST
Wow omg
i think you scared your logitech speackers
Karmon hardon .... couldn't be bothered with a retake lmfao
'Karmon Hardon'...Sounds like porn to me!!
You actually measure the sound quality on the basis of the BASS only? Ridiculous. It may have a cool subwoofer effect, but on every other front (highs, mids, balance) this thing SUCKS!
Karman hardon????!!!!!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

کیریه
Bu'ens.
