Harman Kardon - Onyx Studio 6

I just scored a Harman Kardon onyx 6, off of Mercari last week for $100! A great speaker! I will buy that Bose in a few days, the sale ends on the 7th, I believe.

Hey! I had onyx studio 6 but tore the subwoofer and all passive radiators ahahaha. I'm planning to buy harman kardon luna. Could you tell me the difference between these too? Like is the sound stage the exact same and the only difference is bass and bass depth? How deep and thick bass is on luna? Onyx studio 6 had window shaking bass and it was mind bowling how deep and strong it goes (35hz).

hands down onyx 9. proper deep rumble at 30hz. it as a big bass peak at 52ish hz and a secondary peak at 34hz. I had onyx 6 for years and recently got onyx 9. both of these are like a subwoofer when you place the right. they even have proper deep bass even at 10% volume.

I have both and honestly they sound pretty similar, mainly just a different in size. The tuning feels almost the same. If you want deep room shaking bass, go for Onyx 6, at the cost of some portability but Onyx 6 isn’t bad to carry around either. The handle is great. I love my Onyx 6 but I end up using the Luna more since it’s smaller and still has surprisingly solid bass for its size. Obviously it can’t match the Onyx 6 in volume or room filling sound, but up close on my desk it sounds great

That BOSE is really good. When I’m not using my Harmon Kardon Onynx 6 I’m use the BOSE

+1 for this I use my Onyx 6 with my little desktop DJ setup and it’s more than enough to handle bass and dubstep with out even maxing the volume out. I really want to purchase a second unit to pair up wirelessly with it cause damn 1 is so good, imagine two? You can get even split the audio with them stereo or just run them both mono. Got mines on sale last year for $180 or less if I recall, been more than satisfied with it and highly recommend it!

I bought the Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 6 to be my portable speaker, specifically to listen to bass music and have zero regrets. It’s really ergonomic which you come to appreciate, sound can be very loud, bass is very good, nice full sub sounds, battery life is good. Bought it new for around $250. I can’t speak on newer models though.

It's often reduced to 129$. But I recommend you go listen to it at the store before buying. Don't believe the reviews, our top priority is + ease of use. For me, the best onyx is in this order: onyx 6 > 4 > 8, friend.

HK Onyk Studio should be good for you. It has a battery, good bass, fun to watch movies, and captures the sound of the atmosphere completely. When placing it, you don't have to place it next to your macbook. You can place it anywhere. The sound will jump onto the screen itself. Another thing is that listening to music is beautiful too.

Any of the HK series "boomboxes" are killer. Big quality sound from a small physical footprint. I have both the Studio 6 and the Go+Play... both sound better than anything I've previously owned (JBL, Bumpboxx, SoundCore, etc). The bass is tremendous when placed properly.

Yeah, both the HK Go+Play and Onyx Studio series would blow away the Max. They are my go-to speakers when I want the music to really shine through. Incredibly deep bass and crystal clear mids and highs. None of my other 5 portable Bluetooth speakers come close. Edit - Just saw someone post the HK Go+Play 3 is selling on ebay for $132 right now. At that price, it's a no brainer.

The Onyx Studio series is in a class of its own. It’s the loudest most clear sounding bass portable Bluetooth speaker you can get at that price. I sold all my other “boombox” speakers and kept the Onyx. The Luna is nice, but it’s not in the same category. You’d need like 4 of them to match the Onyx.

Harmon Kardon Onyx Studio the original one. Bought mine 2013 refurbished on eBay and it’s still going. Bought a replacement battery and it was super easy to replace.

I’ve wondered the same thing. Even small Bluetooth speakers were always stereo originally. If you remember, the first few generations of the HK Onyx Studio, JBL Charge, JBL Flip, etc., were all stereo, then suddenly everything was mono. I can understand it for the very smallest speakers - Bose Micro, Tribit Micro, JBL Go, etc. - it wouldn’t make sense to try to cram dual speakers into those tiny housings or to try to create stereo sound in such a small space, but with the rest of them, I don’t get it. The only thing I can think of is the ‘race for the bass.’ After a while, it evolved to where all anyone cared about was ‘how much bass is there?’ and if companies could cram 1 large woofer into the same space that had once held 2, or even 4, smaller speakers, they could produce much more bass. The other possibility, as someone suggested when I asked basically the same question on another post a couple of weeks ago, is so that companies can now force you to buy 2 speakers instead of 1 if you want stereo sound.
