Alan Ross: the audio authority. Thank you very much for this hard (and expensive $$) work. I had no reference when I purchased version 7 a few months ago, but the value was unmissable: $128 in direct conversion, which for the country where I live, is an excellent price. As I use it in aux mode, I made the appropriate equalization adjustments. It really is another world for those who came from mid-range Chinese boxes, without underestimating the great Anker and Tronsmart. Greetings from Brazil.

Well you officially reviewed all onyx studios👏. The Studio 5 for me was my first proper deep bass speaker coming from the Xtreme 2 which I still have today. About two years ago is when my studio 5 got melted on the fireplace do to mom putting it there since thats where I listen to my speakers in my den when its off. I always did miss my studio 5 until I purchased the Studio 6. But once I got the studio 7 I really didn't use the Studio 5 that much since the bass was pretty dirty at higher volumes. And than the same thing happened to the studio 7 when I got the 6. So the main Harman Kardon speakers I use is my Studio 6 and citation 200. But as a at home speaker the citation 200 makes a lot more sense it's just more convenient. It comes with Google Assistant,wifi and I could always add citation speakers to create a 5.1 surround sound setup but the other ones are very hard to find and very expensive. And another fun fact we first start communicating when I drop my Studio 7 versus 5 video😅

@@alanrossreviews we have a indoor fireplace and she sat it on top of the mantel which is cold 99% of the time but when there is a fire inside the outside gets really hot and she naively left it there😖 I like the seven for a while until I got the 6 and my citation 200 I like to use around the house lol that what is the speaker I was playing off of while listening to this review. But I would get it honestly the charging makes a lot more sense since the battery still sucks in general but it comes with a charging dock so as long as you put it back it's always charge and you can use the USB type-c port to charge it as well but it won't activate AC mode

Really looks like the 6 has the most neutral response, besides the bass boost of course. That slight bump at the 7-8khz region might bode well for off axis listening and it doesnt have that 4-5khz dip seen on the 5. I always yearned for a little more highs when I owned the 5s. The 6 is the nearest to textbook which is impressive. I might get one solely for outdoors since it is so cheap now, and its water resistant.

I have the 4 and 5. I prefer the 4 for my bedroom as the 4 (plugged in) is always on. That’s important to me because my work Desk is 10 feet from the Onyx 4 so I don’t need to turn it on when I want to use it with my PC or IPad. The Onyx 5, on the other hand, turns off after a few hours of idle when it’s plugged in. For travel and outdoor use the 5 is best because of the handbag design For indoor use in small rooms the 4 is best for me because the bass in the 5 is overwhelming and less clear on vocals

@@alanrossreviews well i do think that it has to do with the heavy bass tuning on low volumes, yes you get a bass reduction as the volume goes higher, but even at low volumes the energy consumption seems to be higher than other speakers with same battery size

@@alanrossreviews but what does the onyx studio compete with really? I've only ever seen these in restaurants playing music from the corner, or stores, plugged in and usually hooked into aux with whatever they have, like a TV. Same thing in public use, it's always sitting on an end table or on a shelf on AC power being used for general music needs. At least in my personal experience where in southern usa

@@Luke-qs2cg you can see jbl themselves do this on their barebones models like encore essential. The onyx competes in terms of portability. harman is reserved as the lifestyle arm and jbl the portable arm in general terms. just my opinion.
