In the early years, I heard that the name Harman/Kardon (Harman Kardon) always felt like a very big brand. It looked like it was not as high as Louis Vuitton and Pierre Cardin. Later, he gradually learned that Harman/Kardon was a well-known speaker. Brands, familiar JBL speakers, AKG headphones, and Infinity audio belong to the Harman group; Revel and Lexicon. The STUDER mixer, the Mark Levinson surround sound system for Lexus cars... all are Harman international sub-brands; the original brand is so big and scary to death, how much does it cost, Can our people afford it? Haha, today's protagonist is Harman Kardon Onyx Studio3 third-generation satellite Bluetooth portable speakers, as long as the price of more than a thousand dollars, for this big brand, it is also considered to the air. After the landlord used Harman Kardon, it was like the poor people started Ferrari.
The white outer packaging size of 21×31×32cm was measured by hand. The speaker weighs about 2kg. This cargo has a long way to go. There is a shockproof pulp buffer seat inside, which makes the product safe in transit.
Attachment: For a 19V/2A charger (including an accessory power cord), this charger is similar in appearance and structure to the charger of an ordinary laptop.
Harman Kardon Onyx Studio3 this speaker's appearance is rather strange, the official image called it satellite speakers, the front looks like a satellite TV pot, side view is like a football, take a look down and like alien visitors ride the UFO The opening of the net cover looks like a panda. This subversion of the traditional design is also more attractive to people's attention.
The front of the speaker can see the entire spherical net cover. The surface of the plastic net cover is covered with a layer of fiber woven net, which has a good dustproof effect. In the middle of the net cover, a silvery Harman/Kardon trademark nameplate is embedded. Of course, this dustproof net cover is detachable for future cleaning.
After removing the grille, everyone took a look at the interior layout. At the top was a white, passive low-frequency radiator that saw Harman/Kardon's letters.
There are tweeters on both sides, and a 20 mm silk dome tweeter is used for the tweeters. We can see the natural and silk weaving latitude and longitude lines, and the thin and soft special coating. We don't see this image like a panda.
There are two bass horns below, using a 75mm rubber-rimmed compound basin unit, when the music sounds, it will be a linear piston movement, generate airflow in the box, drive the bass radiator to do long-stroke advancement.
There is a small hole at the bottom. There is a built-in microphone in the hole. When the mobile phone calls, it can be used for hands-free calling. In order to ensure the clarity of the call, a microphone noise reduction technology is also used.
There is an embedded rubber apron on the outside edge of the speaker. There are six main function keys such as power switch, volume control and Bluetooth pairing. With a single tap, you can operate with a light display and audible sound effects.
The coating on the back of the speaker has a clear texture, delicate touch and a certain non-slip effect. For ease of carrying, there is a recessed handle at the top. This design makes it easy to carry the speaker away.
In the middle is an 85mm passive low-frequency radiator, the same size as the front radiator, the color is matte silver white, also printed Harman Kardon's LOGO.
There are 3 interfaces on the bottom and the SERVICE port on the left, which should be used for firmware upgrade operations. In the middle is the AUX audio input, which is used to connect TVs, computers, mobile phones, players, and other devices. Onyx Studio3 can be used as an active speaker. The right side is the charging socket, used with the original charger, when the speaker is charged, the power indicator will flash once every three seconds.
Two silver speaker stands, together with the rubber ring, constitute a three-point support for fixing the box body. The bottom of the foot is embedded with a rubber pad, which has a shock-absorbing effect.

〗 〖Sound quality
The Onyx Studio3 speaker is not only a two-channel stereo system, but also uses a two-way loudspeaker output with an independent tweeter. The two domes have good treble quality, and their high-frequency characteristics are mainly delicate and soft, sound transparent, and resolution. High power. When listening to popular music, the energy of the pair of tweeters is sufficient. If it is a high-frequency control enthusiast, remove the enclosure of the speakers, the details of the high notes will be more abundant, and the penetrating power will be stronger. High-frequency addiction.
The midrange has a thickness and the vocals are full. The 3-inch midrange performance is satisfactory without too many adjectives to describe it. Let's say this pair of bass units looks like a paper cone horn at first glance, but when you look closely at the surface of the pot, you can find many very tiny fibrous filaments that are delicater than wool pots and should be a new kind of composite material. Good elastic rubber edge and pp ball top serve as the electro-acoustic conversion task in the bass.
The low-frequency characteristics of this speaker are strong and powerful, sinking down and staying firm. Mainly due to the credit of the two low-frequency radiators. In general, the 3-inch mid-woofer cannot have such a large dynamic range. Only through the clever design of the designer, the passive speaker can be used in the enclosed box to enhance bass. The depth of the dive, creating a sense of shock; even if compared to 4 å‹ 5 低音 woofer is no less than the speed of transient response is also timely, listening to Onyx Studio3 has a kind of small subwoofer effect.
〖other〗
Compared with the second generation of products, there was a missing gap below the net cover. The first time it took a long time to get the net cover down, it was able to remove the net cover a few seconds after getting used to it.
If you increase the 5V USB power outlet, when you go out, you can give mobile phones, mp3, and other portable digital products to provide emergency charging. It's even better. Such a large battery is not used as a mobile power, unfortunately.
Harman Kardon had previously launched two similar speakers for music planets and music satellites. This is already the third generation product. Although this speaker is positioned on the Bluetooth portable, it has sound quality and strong bass effect. People admire. The author thinks that if there are two Onyx Studio3 on hand, not only can wirelessly interconnect, they customize a special audio transmission line, through the aux input, to build a high fidelity desktop ring system, no worse than two thousand monitor speakers, hands-on ability Strongman is worth a try.
〖to sum up〗
I have listened to a lot of speaker brands, mainly domestic, and also spent thousands of dollars to create two pairs. After touching the brand of Harman Kardon, it can be said to bring a lot of surprises. Onyx Studio3 speaker is satisfied with sound quality and industrial design. It is worth noting that it is a big brand. I am a person who is good at costing, see four speaker units, two radiators, think of paired power amplifiers, Bluetooth transmission and audio decoding systems, power supply, housing design and manufacturing, etc., according to the current price, is a Recommended audio products. Although Made-in-China was behind the speakers, it was listed earlier in the country than in China. It also won the Red Dot Design Award in 2016. Currently, only Jingdong Mall is currently in pre-sale, and it is estimated that it cannot be purchased elsewhere. Just launched the product online information is not much, I first open the box early adopters original article for your reference.
