Whenever I take this thing too work people wonder where the bass is coming from and when they see it they stare at it in awe. Then when I turn the ambient light on they're like moths to a flame. Everyone that sees it wants one its definitely a attention getter.
So, the speaker has 7 speakers. They wrap around the sides, and if you have music that pans from left to right, or if you're watching a TV show where something flies by like a jet, it sounds amazing. Also, the Studio 2 allows for dual connection with a second speaker, so that one becomes your left speaker and one becomes your right speaker. Which makes stereo music sound freaking amazing. It's loud, it's proud, and it sounds awesome. I've had the Aura Studio for a while now. Since 2016. I love it, and so does my wife. We play video games with it, music, and watch movies with it. It takes a LOT of punishment. I take it to my second job a lot, because it's a beach souvenir store. It puts out enough sound that people can enjoy music all around. NO, really, it fills up the store WELL. I put on Aerosmith and little kids hold their ears. xD It's pristine. The bass and tweeter seperation is fantastic. It's no Phantom Gold, but comparing a $200 speaker to a $4,500 speaker is unfair anyhow. For real, this is the best bang for your buck - pun intended.
Wow this speaker looks amazing! I have the Harman Kardon Go+Play and it’s the most impressive speaker i’ve seen in my life! Very nice deep bass, no distortion, keeps all bass till the max and is only €260.
1-How to connect aura 2 with multiple HK speakers for surround sound/ multiroom experience? 2 - What do I need to look for when purchasing 2 aura for dual speaker function? does it have to be the same model no. to connect?
Just got mine on Friday. Planning on hooking a chromecast audio up to its aux, but I was legitimately impressed with its sound as a $180 bluetooth speaker
This is an old design. HK came out with this many years ago except the unit in the video was used as the subwoofer unit and had two small speakers for highs and mids. It was made primarily as a computer hook up.
Please explain how to connect to the Harman Kardon app. I tried different methods but it was useless. Is it possible to connect to Harman Cardon Remote for this version at all?
Ok, how do I prevent it going into sleep mode after few minutes while it's connected via minijack to my PC and playing ? The cable connection would be useless if you wouldn't be able to listen to the speaker only through it. Please help
What happen to the sound if the glass part dissasembled. Its so inefficient dome volume, since all driver and amplifier takes very little space in the bottom part.
I have one of these aura studio 2 great looking speaker great sound, i was very disappointed that the ambient light does not dance to the music , it seems to be pre programed and every couple of minutes it turns of and on about 3 times, so distracting! !!! Apart from that great speaker , and music quality is great !!!!!
I have Aura Studio 1 for multiple years and not a single fly went into it and its not even dusty. Maybe im just lucky but i really dont see a problem with it in this way.
alteragnostik its a bit mire complex, it fires off sound in a full circle and out the top, but if you got two you can pair them and they will act more like stereo 360° speakers.
It's a shame that it shuts off due to inactivity and theres no physical remote included to at least just turn it back on, turning it on every time and pairing it with a smart assistant is pretty painful.
I see no point in a bluetooth speaker that isn't chargeable especially for $600, if you're spending that much money you might as well buy an actual stereo that will sound 10x better
Andrew Berndt actually that is a speaker which acts like a decoration and it has bluetooth and airplay for convenience. With that speaker you hear the music better while you are far from it. It is filling the space. I have the previous version and it sounds great. Bass, clear sound, etc. In video never will be possible to hear the real sound.
I bet you were a riot on Christmas morning unwrapping presents. Didn’t HK make the same style speakers for Apple products, back in the day, a much smaller version of your speaker? Pretty cool if the playtime is over 8 hours and charging port for other devices, and it doubles as a Rhumba vacuum cleaner. lol kidding. Hope you don’t have a cat, fur with static is a nightmare! Have fun keeping it dust free.
"You can hear the air coming out of it" That's called port noise and it's a bad thing for a speakers. It means the port (the hole the air comes out of ) is too small for the speakers. I don't know why they didn't calculate it right. It's Harman Kardon. I expected better quality.
Aidan Fowler got one and it's far from it, the vocals are clear and the bass doesn't distort, it's built in amp/sub woofer packs a decent punch when needed and you can pair two together to really get on your neighbours nerves lol. The look is an equired taste but it's a talking point.
Aidan Fowler when the sun was pionting at the camera? Not sure what you mean lol, the sound is a bit muffled sounding because of his microphone at one piont, but he says himself it's got clean and crisp sound with no distortion, if it sounded muffled and crap I'm pretty sure he would of said and I would of agreed but I have one and I defiantly don't, but hey its your opinion and that fine. :-)
OMG I LOVE THIS THING! What do you guys think of the design?!
Looks great but how does the material feel of the "dome"?? Is it solid? And what is the Watt power?
Mark Stapf now that's what I call a speaker good job 😁 homepod is shit
Listened to your review through one, and it's awesome. Nice review by the way :-)
Have had one for a while now. Love it.
Whenever I take this thing too work people wonder where the bass is coming from and when they see it they stare at it in awe. Then when I turn the ambient light on they're like moths to a flame. Everyone that sees it wants one its definitely a attention getter.
I got one recently, it's by far one of the best speakers.... I am in love

KitWriter
True.
It’s a great piece of technology and decoration.
Ahh, and is suitable for music not for noise. 😛
4:52 yeah that's why you need a polarisation filter
Wow this speaker looks amazing! I have the Harman Kardon Go+Play and it’s the most impressive speaker i’ve seen in my life! Very nice deep bass, no distortion, keeps all bass till the max and is only €260.
Dopander good to know you said "only"
Just curious why you didn't show the lights, isn't that a main feature of the speaker?

For Apple computers. They looked kinda borderline cheesy/novelty speakers, jmo.

i have got one of these, but the dust problem is soooo annoying, anyway we can clean this thing?
Michael Qin
You can try with some sompressed air to loose the dust and after with a vacuum cleaner ( with a thin extension ).
Can you open it to clean when it gets dusty?
Can you take the plastic dome off to clean it incase something gets inside?
you could think this guy never heard of harman kardon before- these kind of speakers are on the market since more than 20 years now.
Big speaker fan here! Thanks for this vid! Rock on bro!
I have one and lost the charger could you provide information please I need to purchase another one
Try to purchase a generic one with multiple / interchangeable sockets. At least you can use that for a lot of other devices.
Is this better than the soundsticks 3 in your opinion???
When i first saw this thing, I thought it was a food processor for cutting up salads.
TheOriginalMakaaka 😂😂😂😂😂
could someone tell me the song name that starts at 3:50 sec
Chicago - Bryce Fox & Win and Woo
hk aura 2 or hk allure ? do you have any idea please help,i just wanna buy for watch movie..so which one have clean sound ?
I have Harman Kardon soundstick 3 wireless and I love it
What happen to the sound if the glass part dissasembled. Its so inefficient dome volume, since all driver and amplifier takes very little space in the bottom part.
How do u turn it down
Get another and pair them together I have two of them and the sound great
Does it separate the audio channels Left and Right?
@@arq2g sorry I didn't see your comment till now but yes
what's a bloutous-peaker ? :)
nice lookin speaker
3:33 Whats that song?
Shazam couldn't recognized it. I'll my comment here to see if someone tells us what's that music
What’s your Spotify? Need your music
Interesting :-) How does it compare to the Harman Kardon Soundsticks BT? Thanx
I own the Aura Studio, is there any diffrence in terms of sound from the 1st Aura studio?
3:00 love his expression 😂
whats different ?? better Aura studio 1 or Aura Studio 2 please need advice. thnks
3:30 is this a Macbook Pro?
Looks awesome! Does it come with any dust cover?
No unfortunately not:(
Manny Francisco
It is a dust cover.
lol
Hahaha!
JayeBird lol
I have one of these aura studio 2 great looking speaker great sound, i was very disappointed that the ambient light does not dance to the music , it seems to be pre programed and every couple of minutes it turns of and on about 3 times, so distracting! !!! Apart from that great speaker , and music quality is great !!!!!
Is this sponsored?
Make a comparison with Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 4 pls
Lily Lewi no comparison, onyx sounds the best. It's ugly though.
this is a pain to clean. I had soundsticks II and dust and bugs go in from the top and can't clean it.
That is the first thing I thought of when I saw the opening at the top. I guess flashy, expensive design isn't always practical right
I have Aura Studio 1 for multiple years and not a single fly went into it and its not even dusty. Maybe im just lucky but i really dont see a problem with it in this way.
you didn't show us the ambient light..
3:16
how does it compare with the Bose link iii, and the bass performance
never listened to the bose link iii, but bass is great!
What’s the difference between the one and two
Do you know wich version of bluetooth this speaker is built-in?
There are a hell lot of speakers out there. But no good songs in 2k18.
Took his Time by Lil Wayne
So how does it produce stereo sound? Or is it mono? :D
alteragnostik its a bit mire complex, it fires off sound in a full circle and out the top, but if you got two you can pair them and they will act more like stereo 360° speakers.
Can you try the harman go play.
Try out the older version of the HK soundstick 3 wireless. I believe the older speaker sounds better than this
Ethan Hunt which ones are better? Thx
That design came out in 1999... but yes it i still cool
Looks so good!
Is it portable?
It's a shame that it shuts off due to inactivity and theres no physical remote included to at least just turn it back on, turning it on every time and pairing it with a smart assistant is pretty painful.
Never Seen The harman kardon Soundsticks?
No joke I am fucking related kardon he is my great grandfather
it swounds better upside down, i think they should of made the bottom speaker the bass instead of the main speaker.
I spent 24500 on bose revolve plus and I lkke it a lot but I'm wondering if I should try this.
Does it has bass ...like subwoofers ....???
Kumar Shubhangam yES
Se puede conectar a una smart tv?
Nice design and I love it but unfortunately for me It can’t be shipped to Ghana wow....anyone out there who can help me get it?
You can check if grabr.io works in your place...
Oliver heldens is crazy bro
Is there any way i can turn down the bass!???😭😭😂
do you want to try another》
is it made of glass? is it cool but is it brittle?
gsrini the original aura studio is like fiberglass looks the same with this aura 2
Why, are you that ruff on your speakers? Chill dude. lol
What song on 3:36?
mohamad syahmi Last all night (Koala feat. KStewart). Sound hound was able to identify it. Enjoy.
Thanks bro

This isn’t chargeable???
I think he means portable, as it is always charging and must be connected to an outlet. No, it's not portable in a way that will play wirelessly.
can you get two and use them as computer speakers?
Jess Hull yes

Onyx 4 or aura???????
Aura!
Check out the devialet phantom
Aban Abbas
Now that’s a badass speaker system! There’s some unbelievably expensive, and cool audio equipment out there, huh?
I love this thing 😂
Same! It is fantastic!
Anyone had problems connecting it to their PC? For some reason it's only recognised as an earphone instead of a speaker...
What happens to you pro?
askfhaishfaoishf please why nobody has said anything about the plug in in the middle that says service whats it for!
Watching this on my aura studio 2 😁😁
Harmeet Singh wow your aura has a screen 🙄🙄
Son Tran Quang yes it does 😁😁
Does it have a rechargeable battery?
Nope, unfortunately not
Mark Stapf daaaaamn! So is it battery operated??
How much?
Here is a link to the most up to date prices
amzn.to/2kQ9zpx
this is so big you might as well just buy a plug in speaker beacuse noone is gonna carry that around
Looks like a food processor. Bwahahahahahaha!!!!!
Sad the sound quality sucks but it looks nice
Have you ever tried it dude? I am very interested in purchasing one of these.
I justed purchase one at a Thrift store for $70 🤓😎
amazing
Plz use std lenses to make video
Dude, it looks like a fuc*ing blender/juicer what's so cool about its design ? :))
Yeah, 'futuristic', almost EXACTLY like the Harmon-Kardon iSub and Mac Pro speakers that came out 10 to 12 years ago...do some research, dude!
Nah it's cuz of the camera microphone
Turn on some lights next time.
"You can hear the air coming out of it"
That's called port noise and it's a bad thing for a speakers. It means the port (the hole the air comes out of ) is too small for the speakers. I don't know why they didn't calculate it right. It's Harman Kardon. I expected better quality.
don't carry your smartphone near your crown jewels...
Deos It has battery?
no, only HK onyx series
This or the onyx 4?
Both? Lol The sound is similar but this has the show factor! Hard choice but ill have to say this one!
Mark Stapf Which one is louder the onyx 4 or the aura 2
I have both. The immersive sound from aura 2 is more impressive, plus its more powerful bass
Son Tran Quang oh really??? So better to get that one?
Son Tran Quang you sure ?
JBL
Believer by imagine dragons on this speaker is a good tester
ALL MUSIC MAXED did neighbours enjoyed it too? :D
Imagine Dragons’ Friction was the song I tested for the HK Go Play. When it hit the right treble and bass, I knew it was the speaker for me.
@@blaximperia yea I’m in the market looking for another one now
@@allmusicmaxed1886 how's it goin' so far? You got choices already?
@@blaximperia I’ve actually narrowed down one from a pawnshop. It’s in good condition. I’ve trying to see if I can’t get it for a lower price tho
Now play real music to see how it sounds, instead of that shit
lol @ Moat-zart
not sure why your hands are flying all around the screen. its jarring.
le Pognon pfff
design is good but its not a thx certified
It sounds muffled and shit

LMAO that speaker design has been around for years and the version you have looks kinda lame.
