A speaker with a practical and… cosmic design!
With its compact format and original design, the Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 7 has everything you need to seduce. More than an aesthetic element, this anodized aluminum handle which surrounds it like a Saturn ring allows it to be carried with one hand and also serves as a support for placing it vertically. Of course, its small size and attractive appearance can also make it a decorative object capable of blending into any room in the house.
In terms of connectivity, the Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 7 is compatible with the Bluetooth 4.2 standard and also has multipoint Bluetooth. This means that it is possible to connect up to two different devices at the same time, such as a smartphone on one side to play a playlist and a speaker of the same model on the other for an experience more powerful and deeper musical. This speaker finally has a 3.5 mm jack port and a USB-C port for power. However, it is not possible to use it to make calls since it does not have a microphone.
The pleasures of omnidirectional stereo sound
The Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 7 is equipped with three speakers, a 120mm driver dedicated to bass located on the rear panel and two 25mm drivers dedicated to treble on the front. Everything sends a total power of 50 W RMS and thanks to its unique design, this speaker spits stereo sound in all directions. Thus, listening does not suffer from any loss, regardless of where you are in relation to the speaker. The sound signature here emphasizes the bass for musical listening tinged with depth.
Finally, the American manufacturer communicates a battery life of 8 hours, although this duration may vary depending on the average listening volume, this seems little if we compare it with other speakers of the same caliber which offer a duration of 12, 18 , or even 24 hours. The recharge time is also a bit disappointing since the battery requires 5 hours to go from 0 to 100%, again according to Harman Kardon. Despite this downside, the Onyx Studio 7 is an easily recommendable Bluetooth speaker.
