"Incredibly deep bass and crystal clear mids and highs."
"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."
"If you wanna hear bass drops with mid and upper elements too from like space laces, hol, ydg the heavy sub 30hz drops: Harmon kardon onyx series for low priced."

Admirable-Bridge-338 0.5Between those 3, the Studio 8. I assume it’s pretty close to the Studio 9 and I have two for stereo in my living room. Got them to replace a Bose SoundTouch 20 and I’m blown away with every new song I listen to in them. Go with the Studio 8.
Adventurous_Battle42 0.5Just bought 2 Harman Kardon onyx 8 speakers on eBay for 100$ a piece
Arien369 0.5Go for Harman without hesitation, Onyx 8👍
If you want it for home and garden: Onyx If you want to take it out of the house: Charge... But Onyx has far better sound. Its weaknesses are its lack of portability and battery life...
BookSmoker 0.5Same here, also bought my dad 2 as well when they went for $99. Coming from multiple high end car & home audio systems, it's almost impossible to beat for the price. Plugged in and running in stereo with the right separation distance is incredible.
2 Studio 8’s running in stereo Triples the sound in my opinion, just bought 5 for different areas of the house.
2 HK Onyx 7/8 paired together in stereo mode Nothing comes close in sound quality
