Awesome video man! I didn't wanted to take it apart myself because I break things easily. One way to get more run time from onyx is to add a higher mAh battery. Instead of 2600mAh, maybe 4800mAh. Almost double the run time. Thanks again for sharing the video.
Hey man, glad to see your video here because I want to take mine apart as well in an attempt to add the biggest missing feature of this system...which is an AUXILIARY INPUT jack!! I'm surprised you don't mention that along with all the ideas you have mentioned. Would love to see you make that happen and make a video on it! I would think you just need to find the right spot on the board to solder in the missing headphone jack so the signal still gets fully processed and played through the whole system (as opposed to just soldering straight to the speakers or something). Anyways, glad to see someone at least get a teardownlm of this beast on video!
Thanks for the video! Inspired me to take mine apart and upgrade the battery. We use ours for 9+ hours at a time without an easy way to charge it. I replaced the anemic 2600mah battery with 3x 3000mah (18650s) batteries in parallel. You're right, plenty of room inside.
jkinlv With your mod on the battery, did it double the playing time. Also , planning on adding a parallel and series battery config to boost the voltage to 7.4V and increase volume on battery power. Though not sure if the charging system inside can adequately charge 7.4V.
hi dear jkinlv, would you ahow the video, how to replace the batteries..? i plan to replace it roo...because, it's to small at 2600mAh.. at least the picture that you have replace it, so that we can imagine the place you put the aditional baterries.. thanks alot
Both my legs broke of on Onyx Studio 2, dad got a 1, the legs seem so much sturdier and durable on the first onyx studio modell, gonna build some sort of craddle or mount for mine now cause well the legs are fucked
Hello, If You want to separate the legs from the body, screw type is Torx, size 10. I've got Onyx Studio 2, I think it is the same. FYI, I just fixed one leg :). Have a nice day.
Passive radiators do produce sound toy can actually tune the sound toy want coming from them by adding weight to it and different material. You are right though they are only powered by the air that the actual powered speakers move.
Thank you! my speaker started to jumbled out of nowhere. I was determined to "fix it", and couldn't even figure out how to take the "speaker grill"off. That by itself, seemed to fix the issue. So thankful for these type of videos that make me a masterful fixer! lol #youtubeuniversity #sumclade
Awesome, thanks! I'm bidding on a cheap faulty one, battery issue. Hoping to replace housing on my one to make it look new, upgrade the battery and sell the other one or give it to relatives.
Did you remove the plastic cap/cover over the metal speaker (rear passive radiator) on the back? The cover must be removed for proper speaker operation. It's nearly undetectable, but is there!! You have to remove it carefully. if you don't feel the aluminium stretch marks, then the plastic cover is there.
The screw inside the leg is a torx9 one in a standard set should be long enough. Make sure you get one before one of your legs breaks off like mine did...
I have the Harman/Kardon Onyx 4 and the passive radiators actually make a huge difference! I blocked them off with my hands and the difference is massive. I did the battery mod as well on my HK Onyx 4 as well. I replaced the battery with a 12,000 mAh battery (a flat cell type lithium polymer, 2 6,000 mAh battries that are matched to eachother). I also made it tonwjere tje usb port charges the internal batteries as well.
Wow it would be easy to parallel connect a few cells for long lasting power. But I’m making a portable 19v pack to plug into the back for the full sound like when it’s plugged in.
Thanks for sharing this helpful video. I'm about to buy this onyx studio and was already thinking of upgrading the battery. Now I see it is really possible with your video. Another same battery in series might double the playing time, though not sure where to purchase that kind of battery. Seems a rare cyclinder li-on type. Another upgrade I'm thinking is adding an aux input of some sort to the pre amp section. Do you think it is possible? I'm thinking of taking it to a tech if ever.
I'm not planning on removing mine but from what I can see it looks like a percision philipshead screwdriver. I think the biggest issues is you have to find one long enough to reach the back of the legs
+James Ervi So, to remove the legs, you just need to remove the rubber caps, and unscrew the screws inside, without disasembling the whole thing ? I really need to know :D
Hi! thank you for sharing, do you know if it's possible to get a motherboard to replace a broken one? I don't know where to search for one! Thanks in advance again
So the front "woofer" is a passive radiator as well? Those two midwoofers are producing all of the bass? Wouldn't have known that without this teardown. So thank you. Looks like it shouldn't be too hard to upgrade those mids with something better (vifa, peerless, etc...) from partsexpress. I was worried about reports of people only having the stock battery last 15 minutes. But, considering the ease of opening, and the fact that these can be had refurb now for $80, I think I've found my new bluetooth speaker.
Thanks a lot man, I too just fixed my speaker after watching your video .. I appreciate that , you just saved me from spending another 150 bucks for a new speaker.. Thanks again .. :)
Passive resonators do what a reflex port would do, but without taking much valuable air space thus allowing the box to be smaller. I would not recommend adding stuff inside the case, as it lessens the air space and will change the low end sound of the speaker. Deepest notes will be dampened and some unwanted spikes may appear somewhere ~100 - 200Hz
ok so my battery is bad how do I replace it with another one? Including taking the connector off, and wiring and adding it to another rechargeable battery?
Thanks for this video, your a gent. I have just received my onyx studio, I am quite pleased with the overall sound but to be honest I really would have prefered the newer non studio version. Unfortunately it was double the price. I would have really appreciated the AUXILIARY INPUT jack so I could plug my Astell & Kern JR straight in. Also bluetooth 4.0 instead of 3.0 the studio has, just wondering if anyone thought of replacing the bluetooth circuit board with the updated 4.0 giving better sound & range. Lastly I beg someone to do a tutorial on full specs on a replacement pack of batteries and video guide on how to replace or add to the paltry 2600mha enclosed battery. I see in the comments that there are several people who are very keen on a follow up to help them along...
I actually ended up taking it back, since my work decided on a no-speakers policy just after I got this. The possibilities were honestly endless though, tons of spare room, very powerful amp, I would've started with a large extra battery pack with a usb output to charge your device, but speaker wise im not really sure. Let me know if you do change anything, I'd love to see a video. Upgraded speakers would be crazy in that thing.
RTcharger I use a plastic dome that we make at work, and I put mine it in. I can hear the bass in the offices from the production area. I will have to take it apart and see what the specs might be for these speakers and will look up alternatives in the future.
+Jacob Cline +RTcharger Hey guys, curious if you ended up swapping/upgrading the speaker modules. I blew out the bottom-right woofer (resulting in cringeworthy buzz/rattling), and am doing some google-fu this week to see if I'm competent enough to replace the broken woofer or whether to take it to a repair shop and pay the premium. Great vid, +RTCharger!
The battery of mine completely died. So I replaced it with a new 3.7 V 3,000mah. I did this myself and now the battery works however the bass does a loud buzzing sound. What caused that? Any ideas how to fix? Thanks
The micro USB port is not a power source. There is a completely different jack for your power. the micro USB is to, when Bluetooth is updated, allow you to plug your speaker into your computer and upgrade it.
All that work when all you have to do is just first remove the little black plastic end pieces, then you can put a screwdriver up through the hollow legs and unscrew them that way.
Is it possible totake apart the Studio 2(or 3) that has not got screws on the back? Just a handle and subwoofer? My speaker is blown out and I want to repair it
+Régis Laveuve give me a email address I'll send you a picture. I basically glued a 3 pack battery pack to the front of the case. I also removed the factory installed battery.
+george poe you removed the factory battery because the 3 batteries have to be exactely the same capacity if they aren't they can explode, or take fire?
RT-I recently bought a refurbished HK. The volume button "-" goes down but the "+" not up. Do you think this might be a physical issue [like a wire] or a mother board one? Trying to decide if I can fix it or need to send it back...thanks for your opinion.
Hmmm, I would honestly send it back either way whether you think it could be an easy fix or not unless it's gonna cost you. Then I would pop it open and see what's going on. Probably a bad button though so you'd have to replace the whole button module.
hey there, like your video. And actually I'm experiencing problem with my onyx it seem there some error in volume components. The volume keeps going down. everytime I turn it back up, it keeps going down. which part should I take a look at? What might go wrong? I've tried to taking it apart but I don't understand the motherboard hehe.. Thank you in advance.. Really need help..
when it's not plugged into the wall outlet with electical cable the power is lowered considerably(i think 50% at least)! How we can avoid this performance degradation?
Hey maybe the answer is already somewhere in the comments but I have the Onyx Studio 2 and you hear a rattle in the bass when you play it past 50% volume I'd say. please let me know if there is anything I can do internally with the speaker to make it sound as clear as when I 1st bought it
I'm currently having the same issue, but at a higher volume (probably 70-80% volume) I honestly think one of the radiators are damaged or blown. I get away now by turning the bass down in the EQ of whatever device I'm playing from, but I might take it apart and see if there's anything I can to to fix the issue.
+DJ Alexander I'm honestly too lazy to do it. Adjusting the bass on my phone made it less radly for me. at least we all know that its a common problem. you'll probably have to go inside the speaker and work from there
how do i know when its fully charged. it came with power cord but no USB charger our plug. is the power cord charging the battery so i can have it cordless
Hello, unsure if I am in the right place to ask this question, but I have had my onyx speaker for over a year now, and for some reason it still connects to my bluetooth (can hear the connection), but after it connects no sound is coming out. Is anyone else having this problem, and if so, so you know how to fix it? My sound is turned up, and I've tried other phones, but nothing is happening after the connection is there. Thank you :-)
Hey man nice video. Does anyone know how to resolve this lil crazy problem on my speaker. Every time I turn it on without the power supply plugged in it never go on. But when I plug in the power supply it goes on till I unplug again and the power is out. Please any ideas would be appreciated.
I got high and plugged the black connector into the white connector and after 19v into the 5v socket mine is completely dead. The inside is NOT idiot proof, beware.
No way its just one 18650 2600mah battery! Impressed but just how little. You can easily get 3400mah and then parallel 2 or more, you'll be over 10 hours playtime. Did you end up modding?
Unfortunately no, I wasn't able to use it at work like I had planned, and I already have a zillion other means of audio at home so I had no use for it, I just returned it.
Ohk. Mine should arrive today. I will try and mod for two 3400mah in parallel. Extrapolating the time and capacity of original. I should be able to get 13 hours with the new setup. :)
+Bruno Mills have you replace your batteries..? would you show the video..? or at least show the picture you put the additional batteries..? thanks a lot..
Unfortunately I ended up returning it, couldn't use it at work like I planned, so I never did get to modify it at all. I would've probably found some type of hinged setup so I could fold the leg(s) in when not using, or possibly even some kind of short telescoping rod (2) to replace the legs it had, so Id have been able to push them flat with the speaker when carrying it.
Mine is not playing sound even though it says that it is connected via bluetooth to my laptop and my phone doesn't even get a bluetooth signal from it anymore. Can anyone help?
Hi! So, I got this speaker when i bought my phone, and I think the charger was broke. My HK Onyx can't charge its battery anymore. Does anyone know the solution? Thank you.
+herry yohan the battery does have a life span. if it isn't charging, time for a new one. battery in this video i tired to see type of battery but he moved too fast, i opened mine up and its LC18650 go on ebay, theres tonz but will require some tinkering to attach cables to it. if your whole hk isn't powering on, get a different charger. the specs are on the back sticker it should say (on mine it does) 19v 2a
rion I was thinking about this too. There might be current and voltage regulator inside for the battery. I am thinking to add more batteries in series / parallel to come up with around 7.4v 10,800 mah pack. Though not sure if the internal charging system for the batts can handle 7.4v.
Very easy to understand how to, step by step…excellent😊
Awesome video man! I didn't wanted to take it apart myself because I break things easily. One way to get more run time from onyx is to add a higher mAh battery. Instead of 2600mAh, maybe 4800mAh. Almost double the run time.

+Graham Hart, I had the same idea now. Did you have luck with that?
You ever get that to work?
You're a life saver! I fixed my Onyx thanks to this video. Thank you for uploading!!
Glad I could help! That's what I like to hear!

Both my legs broke of on Onyx Studio 2, dad got a 1, the legs seem so much sturdier and durable on the first onyx studio modell, gonna build some sort of craddle or mount for mine now cause well the legs are fucked
i fixed mine and i will make a viedo on the weekend about how to do it stay tuned
+Glovesontech Hey, you should make that video! It would be really helpful (one of my legs is broken too).

ok how do you fix 2 broken legs ?
@@crystalnyla pull the rubber off the end of the feet and look down inside it and there is a screw inside,easily removed
Passive radiators do produce sound toy can actually tune the sound toy want coming from them by adding weight to it and different material. You are right though they are only powered by the air that the actual powered speakers move.
Can anyone post a tutorial and how to replace the battery for one that's stronger? Or how to make it louder?
Thank you! my speaker started to jumbled out of nowhere. I was determined to "fix it", and couldn't even figure out how to take the "speaker grill"off. That by itself, seemed to fix the issue. So thankful for these type of videos that make me a masterful fixer! lol #youtubeuniversity #sumclade

Sorry if some one already posted this. If you remove the rubber pieces on the end of the legs there is a screw up inside the leg for easy removal
James Ervi Do you know what kind of screw driver is needed to fit the holes and screw shape?
I'm not planning on removing mine but from what I can see it looks like a percision philipshead screwdriver. I think the biggest issues is you have to find one long enough to reach the back of the legs

One of the legs actually broke off of mine
Hi there, is it possible to disconnect the battery from the board, and turn it on directly from the power plug?
Thank you.
i'd love to see one of these for the Harman/Kardon Omni 10
...didnt have do that.
Remove small rubber tips, stick long torx 10 and remove screw and you're done.
So if you take the legs out, how do you plan to make it stand?
instead of just adding batteries in parallel, can u add in series to increase voltage to mimic when plugged in with 19v charger
ok so my battery is bad how do I replace it with another one? Including taking the connector off, and wiring and adding it to another rechargeable battery?
how do you remove the legs ? you need to take it all apart ? i really need to know.
+Bogdan Florea there are screws behind the rubber part, should pop out if you got the right screw driver
+Bogdan Florea the little rubber flaps on the bottom on the legs are removeable
I recently replaced a battery and now the bass sounds like it'd vibrating something too much, what could I have done wrong :(
Follow up on the battery. Is that a 18650 type battery in it. If so, it's a common battery and an upgrade is easier.
Thanks for this video, your a gent.

Hi Gary, did you find out how to add an AUX input to the Onyx? I am having the same idea.
Any ideas for upgraded speakers? Was thinking of removing the front passive and adding a third speaker. The possibilities are really there
I actually ended up taking it back, since my work decided on a no-speakers policy just after I got this. The possibilities were honestly endless though, tons of spare room, very powerful amp, I would've started with a large extra battery pack with a usb output to charge your device, but speaker wise im not really sure.

how would you know if the charger or battery is bad it wont hold charge
Is there another bass radiator in the front panel?? Looks like it..
The battery of mine completely died. So I replaced it with a new 3.7 V 3,000mah. I did this myself and now the battery works however the bass does a loud buzzing sound. What caused that? Any ideas how to fix? Thanks
@RTcharger if you upgraded the speaker battery can you give me the information of the battery that you bought?
I have the onyx 2 and it makes a beep sound now while is playing. does that mean that I need a new battery? And also nice video.
Would it not be easier to extend battery life by connecting one of the widely available power banks/portable chargers through the mini usb port?
The micro USB port is not a power source. There is a completely different jack for your power. the micro USB is to, when Bluetooth is updated, allow you to plug your speaker into your computer and upgrade it.

I bought some more batteries for my Onyx, 3 to be exact. They are ran parallel. My question to you is, where does the extra wire (the white wire) go?
hi, do you arrive to put the 3 parrel battery safety in your onyx?
+Régis Laveuve give me a email address I'll send you a picture. I basically glued a 3 pack battery pack to the front of the case. I also removed the factory installed battery.
+george poe
regis.laveuve@gmail.com there is no risk to put lithium batteries in parallel?
+george poe
you removed the factory battery because the 3 batteries have to be exactely the same capacity if they aren't they can explode, or take fire?
All three are the same capacity as the original battery. No issues so far, and its been around 3 months since I installed them.
RT-I recently bought a refurbished HK. The volume button "-" goes down but the "+" not up. Do you think this might be a physical issue [like a wire] or a mother board one? Trying to decide if I can fix it or need to send it back...thanks for your opinion.

Just replacing the battery today. This video was very helpful, thank you! Are you still using this speaker? Did you add the extra battery?
Where did you get the replacement battery?
Paul Smith I purchased the battery from Amazon.
hey there, like your video. And actually I'm experiencing problem with my onyx it seem there some error in volume components. The volume keeps going down. everytime I turn it back up, it keeps going down. which part should I take a look at? What might go wrong? I've tried to taking it apart but I don't understand the motherboard hehe.. Thank you in advance.. Really need help..
Thank you so much
why all of my screwdrivers cant open those screws on the front part after i opened the cover? what type of screws are they?
when it's not plugged into the wall outlet with electical cable the power is lowered considerably(i think 50% at least)! How we can avoid this performance degradation?

one of my speaker parts got pushed in and idk how to pull it back out so how do i take apart the metal parts
Is there any fuses in there? , mine doesnt charge anymore, and yes I tested the charger and its ok.
I have a broken leg of the speaker, how do I replace or fix the same.
+Fifi patel i have the same problem... let me know if you fixed it. i want to fix mine tnx.
did you guys fix it?
omg me too anybody know yet???? HELP
mine fell and now it turns on and connects to the BT but the music doesn't play. what could it be ?
Great speaker, better than onyx studio 4
My charging port is messed up , how could I possibly charge myspeaker , is there any way I could take the battery out and charge it?
thank you !! that helped so much!
I got the 3 series can you connect it to outdoor or indoor cable speakers? and how?
I dropped my unit :( Any advice on how I can fix? Sound just sounds muffled now when I play with heavy bass
The bass unit must be stuck with another part of the speaker.
Same thing happened to mine! I’m heartbroken
How many watts do those woofers put out??
how do i know when its fully charged. it came with power cord but no USB charger our plug. is the power cord charging the battery so i can have it cordless
that looks like a 18650 battery? crazy
Where u buy that part that is in the speaker on the input
Can someone explain what happens if you plug a charger into the usb slot?
how to create the third wire (white) if I use the several 18650 run in parallel?...
were you able to get the feet off?
is it possible to replace 3 battery without connect the white wire?
the 3 battery must have the same capacity
so the thing is the bluetooth button doesnt work! i cant pair.. can anyone help me :(
the back subwoffer busted can i put silicone to fix it
Hello, unsure if I am in the right place to ask this question, but I have had my onyx speaker for over a year now, and for some reason it still connects to my bluetooth (can hear the connection), but after it connects no sound is coming out.

Hey man nice video. Does anyone know how to resolve this lil crazy problem on my speaker. Every time I turn it on without the power supply plugged in it never go on. But when I plug in the power supply it goes on till I unplug again and the power is out. Please any ideas would be appreciated.
where to get the replacement battery
Aeems charging connect plugs connectors short out and it goes dead.
I got high and plugged the black connector into the white connector and after 19v into the 5v socket mine is completely dead. The inside is NOT idiot proof, beware.
Thanks A lot
The legs on my speaker broke. Ive been looking all over google for them with no luck. any suggestions?
i fixed mine and i will make a viedo on the weekend about how to do it stay tuned
mine broke aswell, really need a good fix.. Already tried gluing but didnt work...
Glovesontech
My speakers/ little tweeters have kinda blown and sound muffled, do you have any idea of how I could fix this?
Hey,does anybody know how to fix,the volume +button not working.i lowered the volume all the now it wont go back up!
No way its just one 18650 2600mah battery! Impressed but just how little.
You can easily get 3400mah and then parallel 2 or more, you'll be over 10 hours playtime.
Did you end up modding?
Unfortunately no, I wasn't able to use it at work like I had planned, and I already have a zillion other means of audio at home so I had no use for it, I just returned it.
Ohk. Mine should arrive today. I will try and mod for two 3400mah in parallel. Extrapolating the time and capacity of original. I should be able to get 13 hours with the new setup. :)
Bruno Mills Hi! Any result in putting 2 x 3400mh 18650. Did it more than double the playing time.
+Bruno Mills have you replace your batteries..? would you show the video..?
or at least show the picture you put the additional batteries..?
thanks a lot..
+Bruno Mills hello do you have a video on how to had more batteries
My volume bottom won't work. It fell and now i can't put the volume up!!!! Help!!!!
Any idea on how to add an aux input?
You can buy the new Onyx 2, it has AUX input
I got less bass when I am pairing two Onyx 3. Good base when played separately. Why?
I lost my power supply what type should I buy please any idea?
Any ideas for leg replacement?
Unfortunately I ended up returning it, couldn't use it at work like I planned, so I never did get to modify it at all. I would've probably found some type of hinged setup so I could fold the leg(s) in when not using, or possibly even some kind of short telescoping rod (2) to replace the legs it had, so Id have been able to push them flat with the speaker when carrying it.
Mine is not playing sound even though it says that it is connected via bluetooth to my laptop and my phone doesn't even get a bluetooth signal from it anymore. Can anyone help?
My speaker just stopped charging, what should I do?
mine quit also what is the fix
Hey, how to replace the battery for a 18650? how to connect it?
Peace and Love.
has any one replaced the speakers one of mine sounds like the coil is out
Yes I figured it out it's the battery that's gone it needs to be replaced.
daughter dropped it off a counter now it wont turn on, is it just trash or does anyone have a suggestion?
Hi! So, I got this speaker when i bought my phone, and I think the charger was broke. My HK Onyx can't charge its battery anymore. Does anyone know the solution? Thank you.
+herry yohan the battery does have a life span. if it isn't charging, time for a new one. battery in this video i tired to see type of battery but he moved too fast, i opened mine up and its LC18650 go on ebay, theres tonz but will require some tinkering to attach cables to it. if your whole hk isn't powering on, get a different charger. the specs are on the back sticker it should say (on mine it does) 19v 2a
Harman kardon power off problem
Isn't the charger rated 19 volts? then why is the battery just 3.7 volts?
rion I was thinking about this too. There might be current and voltage regulator inside for the battery. I am thinking to add more batteries in series / parallel to come up with around 7.4v 10,800 mah pack. Though not sure if the internal charging system for the batts can handle 7.4v.
+allan soria I think it is not a good idea to connect them in series
i have a spare 6000 mah from a sadly destroyed JBL Charge 2, would that be ok to put into the Onyx?
Lydon Lewis DoUbLeZz yeah. Go ahead.
Make sure it’s voltage is 3.6 - 4.2 v
having a hardtime connecting my onyx2 to my ipad via bluetooth anyone else got the same problem? any help would be appeeciated
gc pz yea but don't know how to fix it

Do you know where I can get the legs?
Hm, not sure honestly but maybe try emailing Harmon/Kardon and ask about replacements
