He had to put the part that it works as a conference speaker, because it automatically becomes a tax write off for your business people
I have one and I wanted to know if we can use it while charging. Thank you
Can I charge with service port( C type )? I think it will work
How do you turn off the off/on sound on this speaker??
What Bluetooth codecs are supported?
I see it's not available in US as yet?
Pls sir how do I know my onyx studio 8 is fully charged
Why flat sound ,you edit to low volume or how it can be .
why do we have the service port there, what does it do??
Onyx 8 vs sonos move, which one beter ?
Harman Kardon onyx studio 7 connects with onyx studio 8?
Thanks for the review.
Voice Assistant?
It doesnt have sensors, where did you get that from? It uses the mics
I am interested to learn more about this Bluetooth .2 as the idea of using 2 units to produce a true stereo sound field appeals to me.
I need your help. do you have any idea about buzing sound after 3 to 4 songs played and switch off. I just bought this and am facing this problem.I think your experience can Help me. Please reply as soon as... Thaks in advance
What to do 30% volume almost no sound
How do i know if the speaker im buying is refurbished?
I was thinking about getting this but sonos move 2 battery life is 24hr so that or jbl new speakers
I always wonder why the onyx 7 had a major decrease in pricing after like a couple months out. It wasn't worth the price they was selling for?
Guys, does this sound better than the Bose soundlink flex?
How do you adjust bass
T-Mobile selling this speaker for $150 should I get it ?
The unit connects fine to my IPhone but for some reason won't connect to my Imac.
Hi, im planning to buy a Harman Kardon speaker for my living room. Should i choose the Onyx, Aura, or Soundsticks? Thank you for your help
Was going to get it but no usb type c is a no in 2022
I have the Onyx Studio 3 and it has a wonderful noise canceling speakerphone. They must have removed that feature and brought it back!
It sound so good we got it for about 140,000 lkr
Have you connected this to a TV or projector? Onyx 7 suffers from major lag and I'm wondering if this version has the same problem.
Yeah it works better because of Bluetooth 5.0
Thanks for the info. @@klgadgettv
Without thinking about what other alternatives may be better, could I use it to watch movies on Apple TV? Would it be affected by the delay, would there be a difference in the delay if we compare 6 with 8?
I don't have a delay with mine using the Apple TV but the voice comes out low it's almost like the surround sound and back sounds are louder than the voice have to turn it up really loud to hear the voice. I love the bass on this but for TV I wish there was a way to soften the bass to hear the voices better. It also has an improved Bluetooth so there is no delay
I have been using Onyx for years.. I had Studio 4, Studio 6, Studio 7.. time to upgrade!
@jaunawqewq 7 has a much better sound with those additional tweeters..
My onyx 8 only last up to 3 hrs
Witch was your favorit one?
Can it bypass the battery and be used directly with the power cable?
Absolutely just plug and play. gives better punch of sound while its plugged in too.
Since onyx studio 4 Harman Kardon has went backwards.
The onyx studio 3 had a mic , as well as 2 midrange speakers, 2 tweeters and 2 passive radiators. I have 2 onyx studio 3 and I pair them together.
Harman kardon needs to get their act together. What they can do is make a more powerful onyx studio 3 with better battery life. Also give the option for USB type c charging.
The venture capitalists dictate that you get less for more. Sadly the way of the world with American companies.
Does it support the new Qualcomm codecs, LDAC or just SBC and ACC?
Just SBC and AAC.
I wonder why they won't put a type c charging port, the jbl line up already has them what's so hard about it?
There is a USB-C port but its unfortunately just for service purposes, HK is a bit conservative I guess.
More powerful speakers need other chargers
@@jasonmb9994 True but the onyx studio is a 50w speaker USB-C can deliver up to 100w so nothing is really holding them back
@@iankisule2879 sure but how fast? You will start complaining about slow charging
@@jasonMB999
Would this work on zoom / teams meetings as well as a mic/speaker?
Yes, it has a built in microphone
Worth upgrading from Onyx 6 ?
Miguel, I have the onyx 6, 7 , and 8, and to answer your question NO.
So I can't say for sure since I'm hearing the speaker 3rd hand it doesn't sound good or worth the price at all. It's missing a lot of frequencies and sound ranges that I'm just not hearing.
Longer battery life and usb c and I'll upgrade, otherwise onyx 4 or higher they all sound pretty good
I had a 7 and pitt took
Hi.. sound quality wise, would u recommend onyx 7 or 8 consider the price difference.. thanks!!
8 is better when it comes to soundstage, but otherwise 7 is still a really good buy if you can find it cheap
@@klgadgettv It cost 100 Euro now on Black Week. Is that cheap?
@@P-S-T I also saw onyx 7 for €100. I think that’s a decent offer for this speaker. Have not seen onyx 8 for any less than €300
@@microcarry where have u seen onyx 7 so cheap? In my country 7&8 are the same price
Onyx 6 is better
I always run a pair of 7s in stereo. The sound stage is incredible!!!
Sound quality is really very good but for real quality music (not techno BoomBoom stuff) it falls a little short in the upper mid range and the highs could use a little help.
This might be do to me playing them outside in wide open areas.
I'm thinking the 8s may fix those mids and help the highs. I might have to give them a try.
I get about 7 hours out of my 7s at mid volume and about 3-4 at high volume on the battery which is great IMO. If you play more bass boom boom obviously it won't last as long and plugged in to 120volts you get more powerful sound.
But let's be honest if you play mainly Boom boom techno music you really don't need this kind of quality anyway.
Yea I know exactly what u mean but this speaker is not a speaker made for outdoors. I have 2 inside my home that I use and they sound great. Tried outside and hurry and turned them off lol. It’s a totally different sound then inside and outside
Techno music is more demanding of speakers.
@@MrTexasboi87 I almost use mine exclusively outdoors. IMO with the music I listen to this is where the quality shines most. Quite Campfire, some wine, and great tunes.
@@stealthis More demanding for dynamics so testing the frequency range and volume, yes I agree.
But ability to reproduce what a instrument or vocals or a sound stage really sounds like not so much.
Man we need those prices in dollars please
This or jbl party boxs
What's better onyx 4 or 8?
definitely the 8 by far
For the price? Right now 4, its $100 compared to $500
Where's the captations great educated 1
The first tone is already to bright for me..
Still no USB C charging capability, I'll wait a little longer
The sound and bass is the same as that of studio 7
Pretty similar but slightly wider soundstage, not worth the upgrade if you already owned the 7.
I had tried the onyx 7 in store , it just have nice bass , I won't buy onyx 8 if it sounds similar with onyx 7, the go play 3 is so much better but it's too big for taking out
IM AT THE PITT LIB IM HARD AS COULD BE EXPECTED K W I M
Nanny
Not worth buying, the battery life sucks on these and they should have sorted this out ages ago.
Yes, a good upgrade should be a bigger battery, it will be a killer!
kesinlikle çok haklısın halen type -c seçeneği yok dışmekan kullanımı mevcut 3000mah ile bu güçte çok sınırlı ve kısıtlayıcı çok saçma bilerek ısrar etmeleri dahada kötü harman kardon 2023 yılı için çok bayat kalıyor gözüküyor bukadar geri dönüş olmasına rağmen halen bunda ısrarcılar
Battery life, these things aren't meant to be used unplugged
1 day Mike t
why does it sound like those chinese knockoff speakers?
T y nan
Onyx 7 has 2x25 mm tweeters while the Onyx 8 has 2x20 mm tweeters, so onyx 8 has smaller tweeters and that's a DOWNGRADE!
@Spider Man Tweeter size is not, and NEVER has been relevant the sound quality.
It's mainly relevant to crossover frequency
You can't judge a speaker by looking at specs. You judge it by comparing them in person. And from reviews, I heard the highs sound more natural than the Onyx 7
Man if u go by that logic in life, you just not do very well and must rely on ur parents for money.
@brandonvernet haha don't forget income of pushing papers to senior citizens
My Corolla has a 2 liter engine and an F1 car has a 1.6 liter engine. The F1 car is clearly a downgrade.
Onyx 6 by far is the best,and 2nd to that is Onyx 3
No,i have the 3 and 7 and the difference is night and day
Liar
THAT SOUNDS LIKE STRAIGHT GARBAGE COMPARED TO THE 6 😂 the 6 is waterproof as well they have downgraded them since
Can barely understand you. All your words run together and make it hard to understand
Wtf is a ringet? If you're speaking English, use currency that English speakers use
It is the Malaysian Currency, and mind you, English speakers do say the word Ringgit.
lmao
I hate they went with this awful design
Horrible portabiöity
Hi, im planning to buy a Harman Kardon speaker for my living room. Should i choose the Onyx, Aura, or Soundsticks? Thank you for your help
If you don't need to move the speaker around, the Aura is a good choice.
Soundsticks 4. Better stereo separation & more controlled bass output. I have all units.
