Respect to you not saying “Hey Google” so peoples speakers don’t go off. I got one for Christmas, and it’s amazing looking. Thanks for helping me with looking at what this speaker can offer.
I have now picked a few of these up for only £60 per speaker! Absolutely outrageous value for such a great sounding and looking speaker....and have added them to my Harmon kardon citation multibeam and sub s 😎 absolutely incredible sound and like Sonos can play them altogether or individual....I will definitely be buying more when I move house and place them round the house.
Looks (and sounds) great. Defo team Google, I have been expanding my Google Home over the last year or so. I feel all amazon knows about is stuff to sell me, whereas Google is powered by their search engine. Also the home management and intergration of Google Assistant in other 3rd party devices (like this speaker) means if you go with a none Google hardware you still get the same experience - I have a Lenovo bedside clock which has additional features and is smaller than a Nest Hub but you don't loose anything because its not Google hardware. Loved your other TV setup video as well, awesome setup and looks really neat - great that you got a bespoke TV cabinet to meet your needs - so often people forget that you can invest in a great piece of furniture and get exactly what you want rather than putting up with whatever IKEA are selling (not to knock IKEA they do make some quality low cost stuff!)
That's great to hear. And you're right, Google Home is a great setup. I think most will lean towards Amazon over Google, as the 'brand' seems more widely known. I know very few people using Google, whereas Alexa is everywhere. Thank you too, I appreciate that.
I have both at the moment but prefer Google. I am about to go all-in on a smart home setup, so I've been evaluating both to determine the best overall experience (thermostats, cameras, sensors, etc.). What made you choose Google?
A couple of years ago I bought both the Google Mini and Echo Dot, and compared the apps/voice commands etc. Overall I just preferred Google so stuck with it since. I really like the app, and now it integrates with things like my TV, amp its a bonus.
I am team google, because when I set my mums Alexa up, she asked for a song, and before I knew it, I had paid several months to amazon music. Con artists!
Hi i am having problems with my citation when i want to play music .. like it can play radio or via Bluetooth but like on voice command it asks for RUclips.. cant i play music by voice command like i play on alexa
My speaker lights stopped working on the front and then turned on red and now it will not work at all. Can this be fixed or does it need to go bye bye??
Thanks for the video. I never knew these existed. So many sonos videos but was looking for something with better Google intregagtion. Seems they also have airplay now too!
May I treat them as a replacement of traditionak hifi systek with shelf speakers in terms of sound quality? Do they play medium and high frequency or rathem mid bas only?
@spawnpoiint how can you pair 2 of these speakers to play at the same time? I have tried with google home but once I do the pairing, the audio is delayed comparing to just one speaker :(((
Press the bluetooth and volume down button together for 15 seconds then the speaker will lower the bass output. You will have to reset it on power up and every six hours because there isn't a permanent fix.
Great video. I have a harman & kardon soundbar bar and woffer for my tv. I was wondering if I could pair all if I was to buy two of these to use as a surround sound
What is your experience with them?? I would like to buy the soundbar 700 and the small subwoofer. Unfortunately there is no many revoews about the Harman Kardon Citation. Mostly unboxing videos and no many information. Vielen Dank im Voraus🙋♂️🙋♂️
Great review, I have two of this as well, really enjoyed them. Just wondering if you can still hear the speaker is on while no music is playing? When not playing music, one of mine is silent (seems like the power has been cut off), however, the other one is quiet but I can still hear the speaker is on (feels like any speaker plugged-in but without music). Hopefully my description make scene … Realized this one night when the house was very quiet. Not sure why one is silent and the other one keeps standby...pretty obvious when I have them next to each other...
Hi can i have ur email where u could assist me .. plz i am having problem with my citation i just bought .. i.e. like on if u say hey alexa play this music it plays right but on this if i say hey google plz play music its start saying youtube is off or RUclips is not available in ur country.. i am in ghana plz
I really cannot decide. Torn between this, Sonos One, HomePod, and Marshall Stanmore 2 Voice. Have you had a chance to listen to any of these, so could comment on sound quality...?
@@SpawnPoiint Don' really care that much about the assistant. Have mostly Apple devices but use Spotify. Supposedly native Spotify support is coming to HomePod in a software update. Suppose I will just wait to see how WWDC turns out.
Before you buy this be aware that you can not pair it properly with a video source without major latency. These are for Audio ONLY and if you want to use them in a paired stero configuration it will not work with a video.
@@Lennart1995 yes they make a different sound bar specifically for tv. Also, after having used them now for a while the audio quality is not that great and i would recommend a different brand.
After I’m having a mare with the Sonos speakers at my business and at home, I’m going to swap to this. Sonos are impossible to connect if you changed your WiFi provider
Hi... Great video.. There's not any good videos comparing the Citation One to the Google Nest Audio Speaker.. I'm debating whether to get this (for £150) or two Google Nest Audio speakers (£150)
Do you think this would be good for a tv? Basically in my setup I cannot wire up speakers nor can I use a soundbar because of space. So I have been exploring these options to have next to my bed but wanted to get your opinion on this or if you have anymore options?
Al P at the moment I think I’m going to have to use Bluetooth as I simply cannot fit speakers or a sound bar where the tv is situated. Do you have any Sonos products to recommend for Bluetooth?
I have 2 hompodes and 2 harman citation one and when I connect all of them the citation acts like a subwoofer and the HomePod workes like a speaker…:)👍
This sounds great. And like you I was looking at Sonos more the arc....but picked the citation 700 multibeam and paired with a citation sub s for around £700 in total and it sounds absolutely fantastic. Plus can cast music via Chromecast another big letdown on sonos
Thanks,great review,Bro.You can tweak the sound by using the built -in equalizer of a tablet or any gadget you pair w/ it.shout out fr. d Philippines🇵🇭! 🙂🤔👍🤘
Team Google or Team Amazon? Ehm, team privacy of course. Team Apple. :) And you can group Sonos speakers, you know? Don't know if it's possible via the Ghome app or Apple Homekit though. But it is through the Sonos app.
This speaker sound is very good, however the bluetooth playing movie there is a 1sec delay. My other cheap speaker bluetooth can work better then this speaker. This speaker is only good for listening to music. Not good as a PC speaker.
Ang Zander I was contemplating one of these as a PC speaker (amongst other things). Does it still have that 1 second delay if you connect it as a sound source via Wifi instead of BT?
Respect to you not saying “Hey Google” so peoples speakers don’t go off. I got one for Christmas, and it’s amazing looking. Thanks for helping me with looking at what this speaker can offer.
I got a citation 200 after watching your review...its the same speaker with portability..it costed me 235€ with corporate discount....Thank you
That's awesome, enjoy mate.

I ended up buying the Citation 100. Just because I am looking for a louder output. Maybe the 2nd one I buy could be a citation one.
Great video, can you play/demo more music when you have the 2 paired together? would like to hear the sound quality, thanks!
Great review. Made me purchase one right now.
That’s awesome. Enjoy too.

Hi i am having problems with my citation when i want to play music .. like it can play radio or via Bluetooth but like on voice command it asks for RUclips.. cant i play music by voice command like i play on alexa
are there any wireless speakers which have basically the same features as these but I can also connect to my tv?
Is of possible to pair two speakers via Bluetooth... For in the garden where no wi fi is available....
I have tried to connect them to phone using google home app but I can’t to connect them to my phone. Not sure where I am missing it
My speaker lights stopped working on the front and then turned on red and now it will not work at all. Can this be fixed or does it need to go bye bye??
Thanks for the video. I never knew these existed. So many sonos videos but was looking for something with better Google intregagtion. Seems they also have airplay now too!
Am I able to use this speaker without Google Home app? Just WiFi straight from laptop to speaker.
Can you use this speaker on itunes? I know that with then google speaker i can only listen to spotify....
Good review getting one tomorrow
May I treat them as a replacement of traditionak hifi systek with shelf speakers in terms of sound quality?
Do they play medium and high frequency or rathem mid bas only?
@spawnpoiint how can you pair 2 of these speakers to play at the same time? I have tried with google home but once I do the pairing, the audio is delayed comparing to just one speaker :(((
How do you turn down the bass ?
Press the bluetooth and volume down button together for 15 seconds then the speaker will lower the bass output. You will have to reset it on power up and every six hours because there isn't a permanent fix.
How many HK citation One can be connected, and can music be played via bluetooth in stereo paired mode?
Great video. I have a harman & kardon soundbar bar and woffer for my tv. I was wondering if I could pair all if I was to buy two of these to use as a surround sound

Vielen Dank im Voraus🙋♂️🙋♂️
Good idea! If you have done so, could you describe the sound quality?
I'm team amazon, but I get one of these speaker for free with my phone contract so I'm gunna have to use it now lol
i realize Im kinda off topic but do anyone know a good website to stream newly released movies online ?
@Layton Lian Try flixzone. You can find it by googling =)
@Royce Johnny yea, been using InstaFlixxer for months myself =)
Great video. Does it have battery to move it around? Thanks
Thanks, no unfortunately not.
Name of the chair in the video ? Thanks a lot.
Team Google 🙌🙌 and I am gonna hit the shop now to buy this one.
Great video, and great speaker! 😍
Thank you dude

Could an Alexa device connect to this and function via Bluetooth?
Hey, do you remember what stain and protector you used on the butcher block? I love the setup!
Thanks dude! I used Colron American Walnut, it's a wood dye. Two or three coats, then a top layer of clear wax. Hope that helps.
I really cannot decide. Torn between this, Sonos One, HomePod, and Marshall Stanmore 2 Voice. Have you had a chance to listen to any of these, so could comment on sound quality...?
The HomePod is really nice if Siri is your route.
@@SpawnPoiint Don' really care that much about the assistant. Have mostly Apple devices but use Spotify. Supposedly native Spotify support is coming to HomePod in a software update. Suppose I will just wait to see how WWDC turns out.
@@DarcersTech i would go with sonos one

Is that still not fixed? So, no home theatre use?
@@Lennart1995 yes they make a different sound bar specifically for tv. Also, after having used them now for a while the audio quality is not that great and i would recommend a different brand.
Can you do a video on your lifex house bulbs and I saw a bathroom dehumidifier 😀
Haha good spot. I do have two other videos on my channel about LIFX, see if they are what you wanted.
After I’m having a mare with the Sonos speakers at my business and at home, I’m going to swap to this.
Sonos are impossible to connect if you changed your WiFi provider
Great video again helped me out allot.
Thank you for that!
does this speaker support airplay for ios devices over wifi?
It doesn’t unfortunately.
Does this work with Siri?
Hi... Great video.. There's not any good videos comparing the Citation One to the Google Nest Audio Speaker.. I'm debating whether to get this (for £150) or two Google Nest Audio speakers (£150)
Cara nya gmna tt mas pakainya saya punya tapi gx tau cara nya hidup i nya
noti! looks great but idk why i dislike that branding.. looks off to the clean design of the speaker. i like the group feature too. Great review man.
Hah thanks mate! I actually see what you mean, although I don't mind it, I wonder if it can be removed...
@@SpawnPoiint overall, thing looks quality but the branding looks cheap. lol dont ruin it though haha
I won't be removing it haha. Harman Kardon is a quality brand, much like B&W.
Very nice computer table
Great video ❤
Do you think this would be good for a tv? Basically in my setup I cannot wire up speakers nor can I use a soundbar because of space. So I have been exploring these options to have next to my bed but wanted to get your opinion on this or if you have anymore options?
I suggest getting a Sonos one if your tv supports airplay. If you are connecting via Bluetooth you are going to experience video/audio sync issues.
Al P at the moment I think I’m going to have to use Bluetooth as I simply cannot fit speakers or a sound bar where the tv is situated. Do you have any Sonos products to recommend for Bluetooth?
Tommo The only Sonos product that has Bluetooth is Play 5 I think. Bluetooth will not be suitable for tv watching.
I have 2 hompodes and 2 harman citation one and when I connect all of them the citation acts like a subwoofer and the HomePod workes like a speaker…:)👍
Was, interesting!!! How about the sound quality, which one is better bro?
Can anyone tell me why my soeaker even at volume one is so so loud that my neighbours think I'm having a rave lol
The nest mini can do BT too. Say hey Google activate Bluetooth.
This sounds great. And like you I was looking at Sonos more the arc....but picked the citation 700 multibeam and paired with a citation sub s for around £700 in total and it sounds absolutely fantastic. Plus can cast music via Chromecast another big letdown on sonos
Are you team amazon or team google WFT does that mean…. ???
Thanks,great review,Bro.You can tweak the sound by using the built -in equalizer of a tablet or any gadget you pair w/ it.shout out fr. d Philippines🇵🇭! 🙂🤔👍🤘
No you can't use built- in equalizer. and honestly, this speaker isn't worth. my power cable keeps disconnecting.
Can get them around -£50-£60 now on ebay as samsung giving them away with new phones ..
That’s incredible. Well worth that.
I don't think it has as much bass as my Onyx Studio 6
Good as WiFi speaker but not as Bluetooth. There’s a Bluetooth latency.
Can you somehow pair this with a Pc and use it as a pc speaker? Great video, subscribed! :)
If your pc has Bluetooth it shouldn't be a problem
Team Google FTW
Yes dude 😊
Team Google or Team Amazon? Ehm, team privacy of course. Team Apple. :)
And you can group Sonos speakers, you know? Don't know if it's possible via the Ghome app or Apple Homekit though. But it is through the Sonos app.
No good if you’re using Google as your smart home app.

I got this for free when purchasing an A51
dayuuuum
This thing sucks.
It's Bluetooth is garbage it might connect some times and when it does it'll disconnect. And it won't show up for iPhone.
Looks good awful sound . Too bass heavy and no EQ to set up . Loads of problems setting these up see reviews
I’ve had 2 for nearly a year, no issues at all for me.
I got one for free!
After the latest Sonos debacle, I'm looking to switch. I'll probably pick up a couple of these guys.
Thank you.
