"I found the live beam 3's on sale on Amazon for 129! ... For the price, I don't think I'd find better."
"An S8 would be great for vacuuming your rugs and carpets ... For $350, my two S8s are very hard to beat! ... Almost all of the ones I thought vacuumed, very, very well have been discontinued except for the S8. ... If a Mova V50 can do 80% as well as our cheap S8s I would be pleased!"
"Overall I think these are super impressive especially for the price. ... These could be bargain of the year.. I'm very happy so far with them"

"The Bass... Or should I say BAAAAASSSSSSSSS. ... the bass is insanely punchy, powerful, and deep like I've never had."
"The bass on gaming mode is way better"
"You get the loudest DB in battery-powered speakers I can find with the loudest highs and bass."

"I can most definitely say the Robin sounds the best out of all of them."
"Besame Mucho/Love in Portofino by Andrea Bocelli sounds so satisfying and rich on the Luna—considering the price. ... Highly produced music like Lady Gaga’s Abracadabra or Disease don’t sound convoluted or congested either; the bass sounds rich and the highs are very crisp. Vocals sound full and it’s just a joy to use the Luna with every genre. ... It’s a very well-rounded unit but I think it definitely shines the most when listening to Bossa Nova, Jazz, Ballads, etc ... It still does a great job when it comes to POP and EDM."

"But if you're looking to add more over time then you probably want something like Bose or Sonos ... But that's as many as you can use with this product. If you wanted to add more over time to use within the same app or control system, you'd probably want Sono's IMO."

"It's powered and sounds best when plugged in. ... It certainly sounds and plays louder with more bass when plugged in."
Just bought 2 Harman Kardon onyx 8 speakers on eBay for 100$ a piece
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • I analyzed 1 year of portable bluetooth speaker recommendations on Reddit (Nov 2024–2025) ->I just bought two harmon kardon onyx and I'll report back in 3 days
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Bluetooth speaker ->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.
r/BuyItForLife • What's the best quality bluetooth speaker you've ever tried? ->2 HK Onyx 7/8 paired together in stereo mode Nothing comes close in sound quality
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Need ONE speaker for everything - what’s the current best choice? ->The Onyx Studio 8 is more balanced and has clearer mids.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • This thing is absolutely incredible in every way… best speaker I’ve EVER had ->Get 1-2 pieces of HK Go+Play 3, or HK Onyx. As stated earlier, nothing will beat these at combined indoor+terrace/lawn/outdoor use, with reasonable portability and sound quality. Not even close. Further strengthened by the fact that you can get that set below $300 for a pair. I have 2x GP3 and I took the best sound to places never thought possible. Oh, before that I had 2x Go Play Mini, and before that 2x Go+Play powered by D batteries.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Need ONE speaker for everything - what’s the current best choice? ->Harmon kardon studio 7 or 8. Amazing sound for the price and base is really nice also
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Looking for a solid Bluetooth speaker recommendation under $200 ->Onyx 9, good option. If you're lucky you can find 2 Onyx 8 and listen in stereo
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Recommendations for a room speaker ->The Onyx 8 was recently sold for less than $200. It would simply destroy a Sony speaker.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Best sound quality ->HK Onyx Studio, thank me l8r.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Best Bluetooth Speaker Under $200 in 2025? ->Grab 2 HK Onyx Studio 8s and pair them together and that I believe would be the best bang for the buck option 1 already sounds heavenly, 2 is a whole other level Plus the 8 hour battery, while not being the greatest, should be sufficient for a bit of outdoor usage
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Bluetooth speaker for living room use ->Grab an Onyx Studio 7/8. You can find them easily at that price or even cheaper and they will have an AUX port. In terms of bass and sound quality to price ratio they have no Equal
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Best portable speaker with aux connection? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
