Some of these older speakers still do surprisingly well. The tech might be dated but there's no substitute for good tuning. Looking forward to the motion boom comparison. Thanks for another awesome one, Alan! 😁👍👏
Harman/Kardon Go+ Play is still great! You can hear directly at 50 % that it is more open and has better treble and mids. The bass feels the same. Go+Play goes as deep, it plays all the notes, it is just that it is emphasized more on the Studio 7. I had it once before I purchased Aiwa Exos 9. I went from 100 w to 200 w.😁 BUT they should have upgraded Go+Play by now with the newest bluetooth version, usb-c port and an IP rating.
i would disagree about the go playing as deep as the o7. it does play as deep but the o7 is stronger at say 40hz than the go play, maybe thats what you meant. a/b i can hear a difference in deepest bass. thats really the main difference, both bass heavy speakers but go play more balanced. yup milking an old cow is HK 🙈

An oldie but goodie and I had to pass on the HK Go Play+ when it went on sale and opted for the HK Onyx Studio 4 due to battery issues from customer reviews.
Go + Play battery issues are remedied by replacing the battery with one of the aftermarket options, It's not hard to do, just that there's a LOT of parts to remove before getting to the battery. Takes 30 min at most and battery issues gone. If you really wanted to get crafty, you could also rig up some different good 7.4v batteries in parallel to the factory battery circuit to create a bigger battery.
@@alanrossreviews I can get it discounted for 200€. I could get Onyx 7 for 220€ or Go+Play for 265€. Do you have an opinion? I like my sound crisp, I prefer the B&W sound signature.
For anyone interested. I ended up buying the Citation 200. In my relatively small room, the bass was way tol heavy - especially in the corner, but even in the middle of the room it was overwhelming so it's no good without an equaliser. I prefer the highs of Citation 200 to the Onyx Studio 7 but I didn't have the time to properly test it. However I have to test the Citation 200 outside as that's supposedly the reasoning for the overly boomy bass.
ive watched many of your speaker reviews, its hard to keep track what is better then others, id like to see you do a ladder like top gear use to have of car lap record, but your ladder would be price rating for sound quality .
Go play is 150 euros now and it has dual wireless sound if you hold press the Bluetooth touch button for 5 seconds on a pair.. if you feed it with a tiny portable dac like a HIBY FC3 and your mobile you have a decent outcome 😬
The Go Play has a very irritating top end, I have known some people stuffing cotton at tweeter to calm that zing, including me. But the qualities that the Go Play have are great for outdoors; that sizzly top end and thumpy mid bass. You dont want a neutral top end and deep low bass outdoors, you cant hear low bass outside. The Onyx 7 is great for indoors, the GP for out.
@@ThibautMahringer trust me, its harsh on most tracks. Thin sounding too. What you heard at the store is right, minute details sometimes can be missing on recordings like these. I still hear that annoying sizzle in tbe vid though, maybe I just know what to look out for after owning the GP for more than 2 years. Cotton of the right thickness will help.
@@AbsoluteFidelity My guess is that Harman/Kardon could also suffer from different models just like JBL... It was unbearable in store but good sounding here, even Xtreme 3 (though ND) was quite soft in the highs in comparison. Maybe yours and the one I listened in stores is like a TL model and Alan's one is a GG, It would be cool to know for sure
i quite like the top end but i do mention it being gritty and how it has a lot of fizz, so yes maybe even sibilant,. not the greatest highs but they are there and open and balance the big bass so for me it works a package. if you listen to bright tracks then you might have a problem. yup mine is a gg model.

Watching your video before buying the HK Onyx Studio 7 this morning. Thanks. this is my best buying this year😅. Question is, how do you know it has been fully charged? There is no led that shows the charging progress. I think this lack of features is the downside of the 7.
@@alanrossreviews , I was charging charging it for 6 hours but indicator's still red. No clue at all whether it's fully charged or not until I turned it on and conecting to my phone. It's really annoying if you get used to onyx 4. But the sound quality of onyx 7 paid it back😅👍.
thank you for doing this :) Does this make go+play the best value hifi portable speaker? the choice comes down to OS6 and go play then. OS7 is middle of these two not necessarily excelling at bass than os6 or more open, clearer sound than the go play.
Got onyx studio 7 for 99euros recently. And what a great buy. Bass goes deep and clear sound. I had to lower the bass from my phone with eq so it sound more natural
@@alanrossreviews there is a solution for this but you have to open the speaker. You can modify the battery adding more cells. You can find videos from youtube adding cells to onyx 3-4 and same goes for onyx 7. All of these speakers has a single cell bttery and can add more if you want to risk voiding the warranty.
Another safer solution to that is there are more modern powerbanks that handle 220 volts.I'm using it to my Sony xp700.Coz my Sony xp700 when plug in is much louder.
@@alanrossreviews noo its general see i said ankers! 🤣compare it to one pound for pound motion boom or paired coz two of them is just 140€, i can buy 2 more, 4 booms for 280€ and HK Go play 279€🤯
Had a go play a few years back, powerful. But it lost power on portable mode, and its to big to carry with you in my opinion. I seattled fora jbl charge 5 witch is more a perfect size. If i want to listen for music clearly i still have a b&w and Hegel sound system at home
no not seen the flip 6, the flip series has always been a bit in-between for me, not big enough to party and some cheaper options can give it a run for the money.
Well seems like you're a bit late😅 it's all over RUclips and I never owned a flip and the price got increased to 130$ but it has a Tweeter and its 30 watts and I heard it's a big sound performance and yes JBL Kept partyboost 😄 so imma try it out to see is it worth it
@@alanrossreviews Yeah, I'm talking about the Go+Play, it was a bit harsh to me, even though it was decently noisy in the store, and it was like 6 months ago... 🤔 But yeah it could also be listening room related. Or model related just like JBL. Weird for sure, I like what I heard in this video 🤪
thinking of buying a Go Play and sell my soundcore X600 there is a price difference about 30 bucks in germany and the harman is definitely the better speaker for my kitchen or what do you say? Is it too outdated in 2023? The known battery issues would'nt be a problem because i would use it only on mains.
@@alanrossreviews ok i've got a Go Play now and what can i say? It is brutal good!! The overall sound is very clean and the bass kickin' ass 😂😇 The x600 is on its way back to Amazon
@@alanrossreviews I picked one up the other day for $41 at my local Walmart. They are located on both an end cap in the electronics section, and with the records/record players. It sounds AMAZING for $41! Not a ton of bass, but makes my Motion+ and Motion Boom sound like crap in comparison. Granted it's a plug in only speaker, so it's not a fair comparison.
not sure what you mean here. the bass rolls off so it depends what your parameters are for that roll off. in my own terms i consider it can play down to 45hz, if you cant hear it it dont count even if you can measure it right? what i dont do is that thing where guys stick the speaker to max then play a single tone and then declare it plays down to where they can just hear it as a single tone.
But I saw some comments about the bluetooth stereo paring of onyx is not good. I don't want to use audio jack. So do you still recommend the bluetooth stereo paring of the two os6? Or should I just get one os7?
Lol u was right u have 230$ witch one u choose, long or circle? XD Surpising sound off that old speaker. And sounds even bigger then onyx, but the resolution is better in onyx tho.
well maybe you are hearing the close tweeters of the o7 vs wide tweeters of go play but go play way more open and with soundstage separation missing on o7.
You ARE giving up bass. I bought the go play plus to replace my onyx 6 and what a disappointment it was. Any speaker can sound like a go plus play. So i returned it and bought a onyx 7.
Hi Alan do you happen to still have the D9, this is my issue I'm needing to work out, w king just told me the D9 does not accept USBc to USBc charging, only usbA to usbc & wall plug, I was hoping to prolong the volume wattage level which is 60watts by connecting a 26800mAh power bank while I use the d9, the d9 battery is 12,000mAh, I play my d9's on my bicycle at full volume for about 7 hours straight, so as they say the d9 cannot charge by using a powerbank, only wall plug, using usbA to USBc, is there a type of powerbank that can replicate & trick the d9 into thinking I'm charging it from a wall,
are you sure they are not just talking about fast charging? you can use a portable usba to c charger, i dont see the issue. you just wont get fast charging.
@@alanrossreviews 😂 im trying to figure out a below 100$ travel speaker that can offer the most deep bass below 1kg irrespective of the volume. For home duties and deep bass I put os6 to work. Once you get into speakers its impossible not to own multiple. I checked out the boost vs plus vs boom, and the flare 2 vs plus vs tronsmart. It seems flare 2 has the most deep bass upto 70% volumes? Maxsound that i currently have is 10db down from the boost(30-65hz), boost is 3db down from plus and plus is 3db down from flare 2.. this is what i understood

no idea to be honest! i have very little contact with minirig. 🤷♀️
Waiting for the motion boom vs match
It will come 😛
finally!!😝 maybe next compare it to the cheapo w kings and xtreme 3 and ankers thanks mate!
omg you didnt even mention the motion boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh you did, the ankers, my bad, well you mean like neo?

oh yeah booms go without saying get a vid to themselves 😁
Bass is everything to consider
not everything but its the foundation imho
I got onyx studio 7 and it sounds amazing, like a big speaker, even outdoor, the deep bass wasn't suppressed but came out even more solid
I'm interested in the harman go play.. Let see how this goes.. 👂😊
yup! 5 year old speaker takes on the new kids....
@@alanrossreviews It's around 175 here in my end.
Apreciate all your videos they hel allot, what are your thoughts about vifa oslo speaker? keep it fun, all the way from Mexico sayinh Hola!!
certainly still a decent option
i like more the go and play, but im looking some partybox, bose s1pro or jbl 310 wich one i dont know.
Partybox has way more bass, bose is way louder, the bose is as loud as the soundboks 2, just without bass
Go+ play vs motion boom
Pls thanks
Am stuck between which is better
will be coming down the line......
Go play
Had a go play a few years back, powerful. But it lost power on portable mode, and its to big to carry with you in my opinion. I seattled fora jbl charge 5 witch is more a perfect size. If i want to listen for music clearly i still have a b&w and Hegel sound system at home
yes a lot of people saying it has major battery issues.
I like the update on that speaker. How does it stand against the motion boom ? Xtreme ??
all to come.... 😁😁
The go and play plus dis better than I thought it would against the studio 7 I wonder will the Studio 8 will be like also you seen the JBL Flip 6?
no not seen the flip 6, the flip series has always been a bit in-between for me, not big enough to party and some cheaper options can give it a run for the money.
Well seems like you're a bit late😅 it's all over RUclips and I never owned a flip and the price got increased to 130$ but it has a Tweeter and its 30 watts and I heard it's a big sound performance and yes JBL Kept partyboost 😄 so imma try it out to see is it worth it
well lets see what this sucker can do but i bet it still wont beat the old denon 250bt.
Let me guess, deeper bass on the Onyx and a more balanced sound on the Go+Play ?
The highs seems way more controlled than when I heard it in store, maybe the GG / TL / whatever model also apply to Harman/Kardon ? 🤔
you nailed it again! 👍
dont forget listening room makes a big difference to the sound. or maybe they have tweaked it, the go play you mean?
@@alanrossreviews Yeah, I'm talking about the Go+Play, it was a bit harsh to me, even though it was decently noisy in the store, and it was like 6 months ago... 🤔 But yeah it could also be listening room related. Or model related just like JBL.
Weird for sure, I like what I heard in this video 🤪
its certainly fizzy but i would say it was harsh. i have a gg version.
thinking of buying a Go Play and sell my soundcore X600
there is a price difference about 30 bucks in germany and the harman is definitely the better speaker for my kitchen or what do you say?
Is it too outdated in 2023?
The known battery issues would'nt be a problem because i would use it only on mains.
no it still holds its own! they are so different in sound. for me the go play is the one id choose every day of the week!

well maybe you are hearing the close tweeters of the o7 vs wide tweeters of go play but go play way more open and with soundstage separation missing on o7.
Alan do you recommend the Samsung partybox this T50? I wanna try it oder it's better the j l partybox 310 /210
ive not tried the partybox crowd at this point so not really something i can comment on....
You ARE giving up bass. I bought the go play plus to replace my onyx 6 and what a disappointment it was. Any speaker can sound like a go plus play. So i returned it and bought a onyx 7.
id rather have the 6 than the 7
Hi Alan do you happen to still have the D9, this is my issue I'm needing to work out, w king just told me the D9 does not accept USBc to USBc charging, only usbA to usbc & wall plug, I was hoping to prolong the volume wattage level which is 60watts by connecting a 26800mAh power bank while I use the d9, the d9 battery is 12,000mAh, I play my d9's on my bicycle at full volume for about 7 hours straight, so as they say the d9 cannot charge by using a powerbank, only wall plug, using usbA to USBc, is there a type of powerbank that can replicate & trick the d9 into thinking I'm charging it from a wall,
are you sure they are not just talking about fast charging? you can use a portable usba to c charger, i dont see the issue. you just wont get fast charging.
sir could you tell the low frequency extensions of maxsound plus, soundcore boost upgraded, charge 5, and motion plus and stockwell 2 at -6 or -5db?
you mentioned everything except the motion boom which is THE speaker for budget bass extension
@@alanrossreviews 😂 im trying to figure out a below 100$ travel speaker that can offer the most deep bass below 1kg irrespective of the volume. For home duties and deep bass I put os6 to work. Once you get into speakers its impossible not to own multiple. I checked out the boost vs plus vs boom, and the flare 2 vs plus vs tronsmart. It seems flare 2 has the most deep bass upto 70% volumes? Maxsound that i currently have is 10db down from the boost(30-65hz), boost is 3db down from plus and plus is 3db down from flare 2.. this is what i understood
Oh do u get ad revenue? i saw an ad in the middle of the vid for the first time.
I believe he will.. I did not skip the ads myself.. around 6 in my count.
@@halfcrazyluv1 6? there should only be 2 in the actual vid itself, thats how its set. maybe because you let it roll and didnt hit skip?
hum, its set like all the others, one ad at start, plus two in-play.
@@alanrossreviews The last two was at the end.
@@alanrossreviews A set of 2.
Go + Play лучше. Слушал обе модели, сравнивал
first 👍
not first to comment but first to 👍
edit: oh, was the first from all the fans.. 😁
yup todays pound for pound champ is John Paul Ringo Lopez 😁😁🤗
@@alanrossreviews 💪😁
can the onyx 7 be connected in dual with the go play?
hum..not sure about that.
Noy
yo you can easily remove the speaker grill on the go+play looks really cool underneath
will give it a try 👌
Onyx 7 has a stronger treble,better for midforward vocals
obscured by the handle, and i prefer the 0ny 6 or even the older 4.
If you watch a video from youtube is there a sound lag in onyx 7?
quite bad vis bluetooth, good via aux.
Onyx 7 vs go play ? Winner
👍🏻👍🏻
👍👍😁
Onyx 7 sounds better.
Its just opinion. I prefer the 6
Onix 7 levou!
Thanks for another great comparison. Go+Play indeed sounds better. that T shirt looks one size larger on you...lol...lost weight?
yup a bit 😕
@@alanrossreviews isn't that a good thing?
not when i look like shit! people telling me i look tired! and now my subscribers are telling me my clothes no longer fit 😭😭😭😭 i need a holiday 😁😁
@@alanrossreviews why don't you take one then? 😁
multiple issues at my end, trust me, i want a f&*king holiday 🙈
Onyx 7 has MORE bass than onyx 6. FIY
wrong!
@@alanrossreviews well, I tested both and that's what MY ears are telling me.
your ears lol! thats some testing setup you got there 😝
The Onyx 7 is so ugly, I will not purchase it due to looks.It also is a step backwards in regards to sound, the Onyx 6 shuts it down.
I also prefer the onyx 6 over the 7
Onyx Studio 7 rubbish sound the voices are really far behind it sounds like a stuffy nose it has no highs, it all sounds dull
Lol
