Be especially careful with the above Amazon link - the Aura studio model has been listed under the Aura name in error. The refurbished models appear to be the Airplay model.

The ending was splendid. Would be great as its own video.
It is
Yup, i see he just posted it
Oh yes!! I was in tears by the end,
i took mine to a pool party and now i have a spider stuck in it that keeps making webs on the inside that i’ll never be able to get out
Just in case anyone is interested:
The youtube comment etiquette lesson from the end is also available as a separate video here: ruclips.net/video/57cUS9pWTXI/видео.html
+Techmoan That part was fantastic! Must admit it made me laugh quite a bit. Keep up the excellent work, I really enjoy your videos. Best of regards from Denmark :-)
+Techmoan Thank you for that etiquette lesson, haven't laughed out loud so much. Glad no-one else was around to see me.
+Techmoan I so glad I had finished drinking my tea before etiquette lesson started, and now I'm trying really hard not to type "lol" at the end of this comment.....................must........... resist...............the urge.............No its is no good LOL.
+TherealElliot LOL
+Techmoan That was pretty funny
That puppet needs his own web series!!
+infinitygenealpa I think those puppet clips are rather hard to make.
I wish they were a lot harder then he might stop including them !
Having a bad day, but this turned it right on its head. Agree that this puppet needs his own web series regarding web etiquette!
slicedpage but I like puppets...... =( I wish more youtuber do gaming and electronics reviews with muppets.
LOVE the Muppets!! Bring on the Muppets!!
I loved your 10 tips part at the end. I know exactly how you feel as a creator myself. You had my daughter rolling on the floor with the puppet typing. Thank you for your vids!
I almost forgot. LOL
I really appreciate what you do Mr. Techmoan. The bit at the end was priceless!
Just love the little guy at the end...He really is brilliant and brightened up my dreary day no end ! More of him please !! (You are pretty good too....)
I really regret living in a hangar right now.... I was almost sold
I love that you are letting us see and hear all these interesting audio pieces. This puppet show at the end is hilarious. Congrats. You are doing a great show.
I love how you keep using that tefifone music in your vids. It's so happy go lucky! Love the direction your taking with your channel! Keep it up!
I always enjoy ALL of your videos, even those about stuff that looked dull at first - they prove to be fun too afterwards. Thanks for all of that and keep up the good work.
It doubles up as a vase too.
a very expensive one
This video was already worth watching just for the bit in the end, soooo awesome! :D
I think my favourite part of every video you make, is when you announce the product is 'multi voltage'. Great work, love your videos, keep it up!
This won't kick the Libratone Loop from my wishlist, but I always wondered about it. So thanks for the review!
I really ENJOYED and laughed at your comment video!! I have watched and really ENJOYED 20+ of your RUclips videos!! I lived in England, when I was a young man (I'm 75 now). And I was an audio electronic technician for 40+ years. I have learned about items, that I did NOT know, that existed! "THANKS" for these items and the WONDERFUL memories of existing and/or previously-owned items!! BYE FOR NOW!!
The skit at the end was awesome! Keep those up, they're great!
Love these videos, those end bits with the muppet could be a series all on their own!
This was given to me as a gift. I must say I am really impressed by the audio quality. I my self am not a fan of HK but I would recommend this speak.
Nice straight forward review. The audio sounded great. I like how your taste in design isn't restricted across the devices you use. Oh and the RUclips comment video is priceless, I can see that being posted in reply to other muppets on here quite a lot.
The ending was absolute perfection. LOL
You are already spoling us with the quality content, and now the muppet shorts!
I am more curious about the globe than the speaker.
+Roger Allen ruclips.net/video/joI1Bs49fVo/видео.html
Techmoan Thanks for the link. Such a cool globe. Keep up the awesome videos!
+Techmoan you're amazing :)
Roger Allen me toooo!!!

The bit at the end is the funniest thing I've seen in weeks!
Wow!!! As usual you presented a video that is clear precise and with good humour. Love the puppet section at the end. Somehow I think it is aimed directly or indirectly at someone over the pond.
Just picked this unit up today in Sydney - fantastic unit for the price.. perfect for use with my Mac too!
Great content as usual. But the puppet bit at the end is amazing!
Your Outro cracks me up. It could be a video on its own right.
I gotta say, I really am liking the end credit skits. Whoever thought they were stupid or childish must be great at a party. Keep up the great work!
Your puppet show is funny as hell, I'm always slightly disappointed when your videos end normally! Brilliant stuff, well done.
Best review I have watched on these speakers. Great job.
Another brilliant and informative video topped off with a fantastic ending!!! keep up the great work!
I love these videos ....informative and the retro items i remember buying when i was younger and just had to have the product
Barry
My Dad's old MG ZT-T had a 10 speaker Harman-Kardon system and it sounded bloody good!
Excellent part 2 of this video !
Best publicity stunt ever: never announce end credit skits, make us watch every single video expecting them. I'm liking your channel more and more :)
Wonderful to watch as always!
Keep up the great work.
Great video !!! I especially love your retro technology vids ... Brings back memories ...
Now that is a really cool speaker, thanks for sharing! Love your videos!
I've had this speaker for almost a year also from the outlet store. And I was totally blown away by it. For the price especially one of the best Bluetooth speakers I've heard
+philosophicalphil Confirmation that I'm not crazy. Thanks.
+philosophicalphil Agreed. I first heard one in a noisy Apple store. Its clarity and ability to dig deep with authority was quite impressive. The retail price, however, kept me away from it. I have enough audio equipment already (anathema!).
+Techmoan
In my opinion, the Bowers and Wilkins (Go go UK) Zeppelin Air and the A7 are the ones to beat. And to be honest, I have not heard this particular speaker in this review but I recall a similar style of speaker from Harman back around 2008 that came with the MAC desktop, I found it a little under powered. But that could be due to the fact that I'm spoiled by niche audio brands anyhow (as well as some big names, yamaha).
I get apples at the orchard and it's so peaceful. You must live in they city with your apple store.
funny I have the speaker to only thing is the mono that it produces is not that good also it has no connectivity with other speakers to stereo for your home is not an option with this this is more of a little radio for your garage or your back porch as for mine it's sat in the closet all year and I'm still on the lookout for a worthy set of speakers that will link together wirelessly
Cool, one of my favorite designs. Very useful and informative Thx
I maily love how that globe looks on that table!
Great review (as always) seriously tempted to buy one!
I'm not in the UK but as always I enjoy watching your videos.
Keep it up :)
Thanks for the amazing content! I love your retro reviews and the amazing time and research put into demonstrating some amazing pieces of technology.
Cheers!
Your muppet shenanigans leave me in tears every time!
The bonus content was great... It's a neat speaker design. Is the bubble actually an audio chamber?
That comedy muppet thing at the end was hilarious!
Just love the lesson keep up the good work
its good you can adjust the bass and treble as many do not have these now days.
I was curious why the video was wrapping up and still half the video to go. Have to admit I don't normally bother reading any comments, but do notice you mentioning your favorites in other videos. Enjoyed the bit of satire, love the vids.
I love your videos. I was wondering where did you get that neat rotating world map globe next to the Harmon Kardon speaker?
Hello Techmoan thanx for the video, the speaker sounds really good to me too. I'm not really a fan of gigantic sound systems but this I could buy after your review.
Hi Matt , love your reviews and you muppet skits are the best, thanks so much.
+Techmoan Massive thumbs up for the ending video, great speaker by the way! Love this channel.
You spelled "because" incorrectly @ 10:42
LOL
;) Great video!
i'm not sure about this product. it looks like you can easily drop an egg rollie into that hole. does it come with an egg rollie protective plate? or is there any aftermarket egg rollie protectors available?
What is an egg rollie? Time for the google! That didn't help much. All it gave me was some kind of omelette thing, and cooking appliances.
That sketch at the end was brilliant lol
Im new to this channel, So i was caught off guard by the puppet at the end, It made me smile though.
I always wondered about these astoundingly terrarium-like, semi trekkie pseudo Dalek-inspired auditory elongated oblique ovoidal masterpieces. I can only dream! Thanks for the review! For all your videos actually.
I look forward to seeing this reviewed against the Tefifon in 40 years. Save the box!
Great review and many thanks for posting it.
Joe
Always love the quality and content of your videos - good review of build quality, ease of use and function from a consumer's perspective. Keep up the good work :)
seriously, the puppet at the end is freaking great... you need a web series based on him...lmao.. good review on the Aura also.. just ordered mine on Amazon, it will be here on Wednesday
When are you going to review that wonderful GLOBE thing you've got there Techmoan? Loved the speaker demo BTW!
WHOOPS! I see you did a review on it LOL.
Seems nice. I have SONOS speakers in my house and I really like them.
Fantastic review - Thank you!
The aura looks terrific..keep bringing us some more Great products.
p.s. I really enjoyed the puppet at the end. Cheers!
Nice speaker and a good review!
Always had good luck and good quality sound from HK audio. I was big into their champagne coloured equipment in the 1980's.
I am a service engineer and it is gratifying to see someone who not only enjoys these units, but also knows how to set them up. As I am technophobic and belong to an era 50 years previous, it is a struggle keeping up with the latest but you do a great job of simplifying everything!
Having watched your videos for a week or two now, I was inspired to get my hi fi separates up and running again... I'd gotten used to my music through the computer speakers, my God the difference!!! So thanks for that, oh and the puppet at the end is well funny, especially when he's typing on the computer, brill!! 😀🔊
Good review man. Thanks for that. Connected once in a store with bluetooth and it was awesome still. That bass though is just something else.
ALWAYS love ur reviews on Electronics! Hands down.....ur the best 💯🍻👍
I love the muppet at the end!
it reminds me a bit of a 'leslie speaker' but it did make me wonder how they 360 the sound.
and: thanx, greenmoan! your guide was a tatal schmuzz man, I could totally wheefreen that loads of tthyme
LOL!!!
Love the tutorial at the end xD.
I'm asking again, but can you make video about DAT tapes?
Nice review - thanks +Techmoan
Great Video! Oh wait they are all great! Thank you for the really good reviews.
Another great review Mat. I've seen this speaker a few times in the past and wondered what it was like. Seems to perform well and looks great. would make a good centrepiece. As always, thanks for taking the time to review! 😉
You never cease to amaze me Techmoan. Thank you for this great review.
Loving the vids - excellent as usual j-)
Messed with one of these at the Apple Store here in the U.S, and they do sound amazing.
Hi Techmoan, thank you for the review. I have a couple questions about the unit:
- What about the tv sound with optical input? Is it good for movies and games?
- Harman remote app can control all the functions of the unit like changing the sources for ex ?
- Is there any sound delay when you connect a source via 3.5 mm analogue line in ?
Thanks in advance
Does the AirPlay on the speaker have the 2 seconds delay between pressing play and starting the sound?
Thank you for making this video.
On the Amazon store, it's listed for $200 new but $500 refurbished. DOES THE MUPPET SECRETLY RUN AMAZON?
Great review, ill check them out, looks great imo. Excellent ending!
I pretty much never comment on RUclips videos - I just don't really engage with anything approaching "Social Media", but I have to say, I found the Muppet/Puppet sketch at the end of this one hilarious. I really liked the typing method and the fact that it was on such an old and (IIRC) hard to come by Mac'.
Keep up the good work - also the more audio stuff and tear downs / comparisons the better!
Not that it's important, but I'm using a 42 year old Pioneer SA-410 as my main amp, and it's great.
Wow that is pretty cool! Thanks for sharing.
I love your videos, the bit with the puppet and the comments, completely brilliant! I nearly lost it at the zucchini comment. As I don't want to disappoint, I've added the LOL..
your awesome , i want to get one now. keep up the great work
Could you say more on how this device actually produces sound? I've never seen such a thing and am wondering if this is something different when comparing it to a normal (coil) loudspeaker. It looks to me it only produces mono sound, could this be correct? I'm not sure how stereo would work on such a small device and when standing somewhere else in the room other than straight in front of the device.
Loved the tutorial video...
I own a couple bluetooth speakers myself, none of them more than 20 USD. I would like to own this thing but I really couldn't justify the price when I already have a shop stereo and homemade 3$ bluetooth guitar amp. Nice review though!
You should add a playlist of the music you use your videos. Cool globe BTW.
Fab - loved the ending too!
I think the downward speaker underneath is projecting the bass upward via a ported enclosure. If you turn it right up and hold your hand over the top, you should feel it! :)
The puppet typing was the best!!!
Quite nice looking bass reflex housing but a little bit expensive.
How do you get dirt and dust out of it? Can it be opened?
Great video as usual.
great video! I'm subscribing because the green dude at the end had me rofl! I'm going between buying the Aura or the onyx 3.
