harman/kardon Onyx Studio 7 - Portable Bluetooth Speaker Blue

Product Information

Harman Kardon always adds an aesthetic component to its products, and the Onyx Studio 8 is no exception. With the unique design of the handle, which doubles as a stand, and the high quality fabric that covers the speaker, it looks very elegant wherever you place it.

Also, it’s worth pointing out that yes, this is a portable speaker with a battery and a built-in handle, but it’s on the heavy side, so it’s portable more in the room-to-room sense and less in the throw-it-in-a-bag or take-it-camping sense. Unlike the Onyx Studio 6, the Studio 7 isn’t waterproof and has no IP (ingress protection) rating at all, making it a poor choice for most outdoors scenarios. As expected, at maximum volume, the figure is reduced to around 4 hours. This is usual, since the brands always give the battery life figure using it at a volume around 50%. As we’ve said before, we don’t think you’ll need to use the maximum volume to enjoy your music at home. The speaker also has no lights or other power-hungry extras.The new version received a massive overhaul in terms of design. Whether this is a positive thing depends on personal preference. At normal listening volumes (70-90%), you get about 5 hours of playtime from either speaker. Not terrible, but unspectacular to say the least. The Onyx 7 is made of high-quality materials and fits seamlessly into your lifestyle and living room. Thanks to the slim aluminum handle, you can take this speaker anywhere.

Onyx Studio 6 has an IPX7 rating. This means it is submergible and should be waterproof enough for any recreational use.
