Onyx = clear, high, narrow, straight, exactly, tired Aura = bass, low, wide, comfort

Onyx 4 It has 2 woofers , 2 tweeters , 2 passive radiators Features - clear quality sound , deep bass , wide sounding. Problems - disruption starts at 80 - 90 % volume in battery mode , at 10% volume tweeter starts making crackling noise . It's not a big problem. Aura 2 It has 6 tweeters , 1 subwoofer Features - clear quality but low volume sound , very deep bass , same sounding from all directions. Problems - the bass makes rattling noise when kept at table or anything Solution - keep wooden pieces under aura 2 but away from its subwoofer and if it doesn't work then hang your aura 2 🤣🤣 I hope this description will help a little 🙂😀👍

one of the best reviews of any product I've ever seen, im impressed

Excellent and thorough testing. Not sure why reviewers haven’t done this style of testing before. 👍🏽

BIG THANKS! to everyone that have subscribed so far, you guys are awesome!, I am currently working on a new video like this one and also other requested videos coming soon, please stay tuned. thank you.

The audio transitions between two speaker is edited for the god , super amazing video 👌🏻👌🏻

Getting the Onyx Studio 4 after this review and test! My sister has the Aura and my mom suggested I replace my little broken speaker box with one of those, but I remember the sound not being exactly what I wanted. I watched so many videos with comparisons, but this one helped me decide. Thank you for taking the time to make it, and playing through the different genres and also the isolated mix. Very helpful!

You just got yourself a new subscriber from this testing alone 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 EDIT - When I put my headphones 🎧 on you can really tell the difference. The Aura pushes out more base & The Onyx is more crisp with less base. Good job 👍🏾

Dude I don't know a speaker review can be this good, keep up man do another one!

Wow! Thanks for this comparison. Sooo helpful hearing the sound quality. All reviews should be this easy and helpful

ocm and jims review killing all other reviews...period💯

Best full depth review ever of any speaker.

Aura define unos excelentes bajos, pero en algunas ocasiones deja de lado las notas altas. Por el lado del Onyx 4, define menos las notas graves pero las agudas son perfectamente definidas. Por lo que la comparación es bastante compleja.

This is awesome. I really like the way you compared the two speakers. It really helped me decide which to get. Thanks for doing this!

Excellent test, thanks a lot !

2 días desde de que tengo el onyx 4, debo decir que por el vídeo el aura suena increíble, tiene mas rango de sonido, no solo que sea mas grave, sino que la calidad de los mismos es... Wow! El ónix suena muy bien, tienen medios y agudos mas claros, y a su favor con respecto a lo que se oye en el video, tiene unos graves muy buenos, que por lo menos en vivo de sienten mucho mas que lo que de puede apreciar en video. Escuché con fonos, unos Sennheiser hd 380 pro. Excelente video.

A very impressive review...subscribing done!!!

execellent .. proud to have onxy studio 4 in my collection

So we just did a test with my dad and brother with the Onyx 4, Aura 2, and Marshall Killburn. I played about 10 different songs on each speaker at over half the loudness instantly switching between the 3 of them. In the beginning the onyx 4 had my favorite sound. It reached the highest and the bass was almost as good as the Aura. The Aura had the best bass of all 3 and slightly better mids than the Onyx but the highs seemed a bit muffled. But this was also due to the fact that the drivers were aimed below ear level due to the design. I could have raised it however this wouldnt mimic a real environment as most people would set this speaker on a table which is where we had it. The bass was very good, very deep and neutral, and it was the only speaker that could play 360 degrees. The Killburn easily had the best most lifelike and forward mids. The voices were very real however it lacked a little low end compared to the others. The top end wasnt as extended as the onyx but it was very neutral and natural sounding. As the songs went on my opinion started to change mainly with the Onyx and Killburn. One of the reasons is that the Killburn is designed to have the bass and treble settings around 3(goes up to 10). Doing this made the speaker sound less mid rangey and evened out the sound. I also figured out that the bass tuning in the onyx is similar to many of the jbl BT speakers to where its not flat at all. When playing songs with many changing bass notes it would play some of them much louder than others. This got annoying over time. Also we realized the voices on the onyx sounded like they had a box around them. They sounded like they were coming from inside the speaker instead of being produced in the front of speaker like the Killburn. The Killburn with the slightly lacking low end had much more neutral bass and upper bass. It was very pleasant to listen to. In the end we chose the Killburn. The neutral sound and build quality and battery life won my dad and I over. Even though the bass reached 10hz lower on the onyx, it was useless because of the boosted character to it. The aura was our second favorite but we didnt like that it had no battery and it was a major pain to clean it and we read that bugs can get into it and theyre hard to remove. The onyx just sounded too boosted in the highs and mids and was in general our least favorite speaker in the aesthetics department. So thats my review.

both have quality sound, but I prefer to buy Onyx Studio 4, because it is less flashy and has a more common disign as I prefer

Thanks for the video, the video u have made is really outstanding and professional compares to many sound test video in the youtube channel. Keep it up!

One of the best reviews out there. I'm impressed with your work. The sub bass isolation is really nice. The sub bass test clearly shows that there's good bass and bad bass which isn't so obvious during regular music playback. Good bass has a thud. Bad bass has thud with rumbling echos. The Onyx has good bass Aura has the bad bass. I'll prefer the clear crispy sounds from the Onyx to the bass heavy sound from the Aura any day. This is just personal preference. Most hard Rock fans will prefer the bigger punch from the Aura's bass emphasis.

Aura is like have aura in every sound.. Very good. I love it💗

The difference in the sounds is affected by the positioning of the speakers. The sub under the Aura reflects on the surface it's standing, thus making the dispersion sound greater, while the highs on the Onyx are more directional and clearer

Onyx Studio 4 = very clear Aura Studio 2 = soft , smooth love both thanks for comparison test

I have the Onyx 4 and I must say that no matter where I place it the bass is so amazing. I have found out that if you place on an corner with radiator right in the middle the bass is extreme. Then I placed behind curved sectional and watched movie on phone it was beyond anything I have ever heard!!!!! I sold H/K etc at A.B.C. Warehouse in Holland Michigan

I've been anticipating this, thank you!!!!

Nice comparison, keep up the good work brother

Damn what a channel. I like how you reviewed both speaker. Epic intro thooo. Thumbs up for mee :)

You got one more subcriber and alot of respect from me. Love you from VietNam 🇻🇳

Wow, this was a remarkably good test. You could really hear the diff on headphones. Onyx is more clear and focused, Aura is more bass and wide. But Onyx takes it for me w its crisp mids. There’s literally parts of the track just not coming out of the Aura.

The best test I've ever seen! Very impressive

Cool!!! And this came out on my birthday hahaha Thank you, brother!

I do not see such wonderful comparison videos elsewhere. Thanks for making a great video And I saw your video and became an ONYX 4 fan, thank you😌🙏

Чувак заморочился молодец . Вот так надо делать обзоры для людей , без трепла , чисто по делу . СПС😁. ( А Я СЕБЕ ВЗЯЛ ВАЗУ , И НЕ РАЗ НЕ ПОЖАЛЕЛ) колонка улётная .

I sell these and i can tell you with the onyx studio 4 it is more directional meaning it can project sound further and will have a better focus on the highs and mids. the aura studio 2 is a house speaker its omni-directional meaning no matter where it is say in the room your going to have about the same sound and will have more focus on mids and midbass and some low end bass as well. The onyx studio 4 has 2 tweeters 2 midbass driver and 2 passive woofers. The aura studio 2 has six midbass drivers and a 3 inch subwoofer.

The onyx has more clear detail. Good job reviewing.

actually the best audio comparison video ive seen

Amazing comparison! Thanks for making this video!!

i really like how you reviewing some stuff👍

Cant go wrong with the speaker of this brand, both are great

When you listen to various genres of music on 2 completely dif speakers back 2 back you can can truly hear which ones bring out the overall best in music. I enjoy music from so many genres & in various languages & I hear sound very clearly. When it isn't right, it's like nails on a chalk board to me. I've been eyeing the Onyx 4 but no one has presented me with a quality test of various music genre comparisons for me to actually determine if the sound will be what I'm looking for until today! Now I'm doing a happy dance 🤗✔ I'm not interested in TVs, videos, phone calls, flashing lights, trips, traps or straps with beer bottle openers! I want reasonably well rounded good sound quality hitting my ears but not presented in a too complicated package or taking up tons of room in my home. The onyx4 and I'm still trying to flesh out the onyx 5 are a blessing to my ears. I like your video style & testing technique. Pllease keep delivering this worthy testing method. I'm not sure where I'm going to land in my purchase but I am getting closer to my mark thanks to your help. Harmon Kardon speakers to my knowledge were always quality sound and I'm heading back to it's world. Thank you! Music has no boundaries & beautiful sound is elation🤘💕🎶

i owned aura studio2. if i watched this video before buy, i don't choose aura. i think aurastudio2 has quite different sound, which is more clear and loudness. aura underestimated in video. but this review is the most information of two speakers. thanks a lot. so interest to me.

This video is amazing.Good work!!!!

good section parts good sound good images good explain you did a great videos man! im subscribe

Another really great review. Well detailed. Looking forward to more great reviews from you

Greeeat. Big thanks for very nice and detailed sound comparion

Great video, been debating this a bit

Only thing I'd recommend is placing the Song Titles - Love these Vids! Thnks for sharing!

Very very very very good job!!!!!. Thank's... I buy my Onyx 4 and is great!

I've been waiting for this lol. Thanks😄😄 I owned aura 2 but let go of it bc of the boomy sound (its dome body causes this i suppose), it was too much for my taste. I got an onyx 3 later which sounds more balanced. I prefer the fabric grill on ver 3 to ver 4 also. Sounds are just slightly different between the two onyxs.

They technically are two very differently engineered speakers Aura is a 360 degree speaker and of course Studio 4 is directional. The Aura can go in middle spaces and studio 4 on a shelf.

Amazing review and video edit! Congrats!

Really good videos, I believe that solved a lot of people’s concern,thank you

Dudeeee I love your work!!!!!

Very premium quality video

Such a great review! Me = subscribed in a heartbeat. 👍

Basically I want both of them 😄😆

The Aura Studio 2's got a plenty of bass than the Onyx but the Onyx Studio 4's got a bit more detail than the Aura Studio 2. Excellent comparison👍

I'v been waiting for it

thanks for the effort to put this tog

What a bright reviews...The. style of reviewing is very informative., straight forward yet very simple.. I like it.. Your subsciber here.. 😍😍😍♥♥♥🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺

Badass review! Awesome editing skills too!

OMG, amazing, finally i found u !!!

Absolutely amazing video, so unique. Keep it up!

Parabéns pelo seu trabalho, ficou maravilhoso me ajudou muito obrigado.

After YEARS of depriving myself, I finally made up my mind and opted for the "Classic" HKOS 3's primarily for their Sound & Dual Speaker Linking feature. YASS! You can play Music via 2 HK Onyx 3's! And they look great in my Gypsy/Genie in a Bottle Ambience :). With only 1 Speaker playing at 6.5 to 7 volume a neighbor of mine used to call the cops on me, just for playing my music "too loud" on Holiday's?! Yes, HOLIDAY'S - And I was playing WELL WITHIN the Noise Ordinance Laws. To think what I'd have to deal with if I actually had my Vocal Production Studio set up! Hmmm...

Thanks. Aura sounds more natural to me, Onyx more techy. Matter of taste. However, the lack of bass in the Onyx is noticeable IMO.

Onyx sound nice and clear oldstyle when play Pop Blues Rock Reggae Acoustic Classical Jazz Whos like EDM R&B Hiphop Funk and good to play Jazz Classical Aura more comfort thank you so much for reviews the best review speakers let me make decisions so fast.😊

Para mi es mejor la studio 4 porque tiene un sonido más nítido y claro.

The Onyx has an advantage since all of it's speakers are facing the mic. The Aura's speakers are either down for the bass or wrapped around for the highs. Only 2 are facing the mic.

Studio 4 sounds way cleaner. The aura sounds muffled and the bass is too pronounced. Not to mention the windy sound at high bass.

Ótimo comparativo! Difícil saber qual a melhor.

good job man, this is how I wish every "vs audio review" was made. keep up the good work.

Onyx 4 - SUPER !!!!!!🙋🎵🎸🎸🎸🎸

Best damn review I've ever watched Bar None!! The Studio 4 has it for me.. Would love to hear some straight up snare drums on it. Wanna know a good speaker?? Test it with a snare solo!! You can flub some base but, a true test is in the snare!!

Awesome video mate, really helps, thanks

Great videos, couldn't find a better video than this. Different individuals have different preference, the way you compare this 2 is really nice. People could judge by their own. Thanks for the effort ! By the way, do you think that aura 2 sounds muffle on it's Hi's is due to the mic position? Or it sound originally like this ?

So good video review make me can fell the difference both of them, thank you so much. Very helpful

I am basss lover So aura studio 2 will be my priority

Amazing video. I listened on Akg earbuds👌🏾

Это самое лучшее сравнение что я видел на Ютубе!

Thank you! This is the best compare!

Before starting my question, I would like to tell you that I am so impressed with your VDO. Sound is superb. Picture is amazing. All in all, your review looks very professional. Contents is also great. My question is between 2 of these speakers, If I also plan to use for movies, which one you are going to recommend or any portable bluetooth speaker is good enough for movies. Of course, I also want it to listen music as well (Pop, R&B, Jazz, Intrument are what I normally listen). Thanks

I'm a basshead, Aura sounds really great. I Love it !!😍😍😍. Best review bro, Thanks a lot 😉👍. #Subscribed..

As a bass head, I would prefer Aura studio 2. Actually, I own one. And I would like to order another one to build a surround sound stage ;)

AURA STUDIO 2 SUPER HEAVY BASS god damn that is powerful

i love your testing methods. wow.. i admire your devotion.

Can i request a comparison between HK Onyx 3 with Aura Studio 2? Heard that their bass sounds real good, anyway loving your content mate! Keep moving forward! xxx

About 3 min of this video and I heard enough. The Aura 2 resonates like hell when playing deep bass. This is probably (most certain) caused by the fancy acrylic top. I'd take the studio 4 over the Aura any day. However, it's clear HK made a quantum leap regarding speakers as they bought JBL. It's hard to find any better Bluetooth speaker...IF one is not prepared to shell out the big money for the B&W Zeppelin. This is one of the most amazing Bluetooth/docking speakers I've ever heard. My Zeppelin plays the ass off all the competition even if it's an old MK1.

Recensione fantastica!!! In the next Sound Quality Comparison test you should play also "O SOLE MIO" !!! ;)

Honestly, if I could have both than it will be balanced. Onyx are so “out”, but the Aura are so in. The combination of those two will be superb. Thats the reason why I haven’t buy any of those till now 😔 In terms of design, I go for Aura, it has the mobility of 360 sound which is convienience.

Thank you Sir. Fantastic review.

Молодец! хороший и правильный обзор!

awesome review! thanks a lot!

I have 2 onyx4 and with time they don't sound as loud also they sound better when there pluged in

I have onix 1. 2. 3 and 4 I'll love to get aura 5 or. Onix 6. Nice review thanks.

Man You should give Master class on how to review tech items 👍👍👍👍best reviews 🙌🙌

Aura2 nice but is sort of muffled. Or the bass washes out the mids and treble. Still they perform great for the price range. I have the Harmon and it sounds great.

Thanks for the video, it helps a lot
