    60W when plugged in and 30W when not plugged in. I have one of these and the difference is immediately noticeable. Because of the size, it you are using it in portable mode you're better buying a dedicated potable Bluetooth speaker such as the Anker soundcore motion+, it's 30W but is a better size and is waterproof. The onyx studio 5 when plugged in is an absolute beast. Makes me smile every time I use it.

    In the manual it explains the ac mode. The studio 5 has a dual amplifier system in it. According to the manual it output power is (1x50wtts ac mode) so when on battery it is only using one of the amplifiers. Read the manual. Plus the power of the battery is less than the 19.2.0 votlts that the power supply feeds into the studio 5. So think about battery life if this thing was using both amplifiers when on the battery. Play time will be significantly lower than advertised.

    • @AbsoluteFidelity
      @AbsoluteFidelity 3 года назад

      Bi amping doesnt work that way. If one amp from bi amp isnt working, that will mean either the woofer or tweeter wont be working at all. HK most probably limited power output via the board.

    It all depends on the condition of the battery, even if the speaker is brand new. If the battery is in perfect condition, you would still hear a big difference when plugged in. Ive had a new unit that was totally shit on battery but when plugged in the difference was HUGE. The power brick is 19v, and that is what is needed to fully power the speaker. The Onyx 5 has a single 4.2v (3.7v nominal) 18650 li-ion and even with a step up, it will never reach 19v or anything near that. HK made it so to save battery power, even so batt life is shit. Plugging it in would be the only way to make the speaker shine, on batt it does not impress at all, even more so if your batt is screwed in the first place.

    Hi Willington! I love your videos! I was just wandering from your last video which speaker you would recommend? Which has better sound quality? The JBL Xtreme 2 or the Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 5. Thank you again for your time!😊

    AC mode allows more low end frequencies to be presented than DC mode. Also Anker has a new model called the Anker Zero that would be a good comparison as they have a similar appearance.

      I can't say for sure regarding the studio 5, but I used the vavavoom 21 plugged in all the time with my echo dot and it died after about 7 months of use. Not sure if that was a quality issue or it's something that could happen to the studio 5 to.

    • @absolutexk
      @absolutexk 4 года назад +3

      Like with all lithium based batteries, keeping it plugged in all the time will kill it over time. To keep up battery life, it's always recommended you allow the battery to be used and charged. Ideally, lithium batteries are best kept up when charging it once it falls to 40%, and then charging it to just 80%. Due its nature, it takes up very little of a charge cycle to go to 80-85%. Beyond that, charge cycle wear begins to accelerate quickly. It is hard on the battery to charge up to 100. The same is true for your phones, laptops, etc. However practical it may be is of course a personal matter. Though, seeing as how the onyx 5 can't tell you the capacity, that'll be difficult to manage. Let your batteries exercise, they'll live longer.

      As with all lithium based batteries, it's never recommended to leave it plugged it. Charging a lithium battery to 100 is very hard on the battery. Keeping them charged between 40%-80% is the sweet spot and will help the battery last longer
