Nice video man, but placing them on a soft sound absorbing couch is not the best way to test. That couch could absorb a lot of bass and fine detail. A hard table or the floor would be ideal.
I thought the same thing, but I get a feeling that his recordings happen elsewhere, and that is a still photo of the speakers on the couch that he uses to label the back & forth.
I like more the design of the 6, in my opinion it looks more harmonious, but the sound of the 7 is much better, it sounds with more clear and well balanced mediums and without a so pronounced bass. I think for the type of music that I like to listen, the 7 would be the best choice for me. Thanks for posting this comparison!
I think the 7 has a better crisp sound quality but the 6 has more bass and loudness. In my opinion, the added tweeter made all the difference for the 7
I see that onyx 6 sounds much better than 7 and I prefer the design of the 6. It looks better for me and more minimalistic. And of course water resistant.. Thanks for the comparison!
Its so hard to understand without really listening in real life as some say onyx6 is superb king, some love jbl, some are sponsored, some not... Here sound stage also is how you turn it, yes studio 6 has less tweeters, but both are still mono and if you center tweeter for onyx 6 is will play similar. They should change charging, battery and other features as both speakers are outdated slightly in that aspect
Or... perhaps waterproofing hinders sound, and they were able to develop better sound without it. I imagine use with risk of water is a small fraction of users. Sound quality > niche convenience.
I started out with the JBL Flip, and climbed the ladder. I've had practically the whole JBL line, and a few Infinite speakers, all things considered, The Harmon Kardon, Go+Play, though not perfect is the best of them all... just ask Go + Play owners. Design sound, and 100 watts of power, tops the whole Onyx line, a Go + Play with a better battery life will satisfy all, We don't need a Onyx 6, 7, 8, or 9. We a Go+Play"2" with a real 8 to 10 hour battery life, HK, cut the Bullsh*t, Your loyal customers are waiting...
I agree with you. Purchased my Go+Play 2 four years ago and never even thought of replacing them. They were amazing, until a couple a weeks ago when they just shut down. So now I bought the Onyx 6 since Go+Play is almost impossible to find nowadays. Onyx is good and suits my needs, but why the heck did HK stop the Go+Play series?
I started off with a UE Boom 3 and I currently have a JBL Charge 5 and Onyx Studio 6. The JBL has nicer highs and I enjoy using it for casual listening. I use the Onyx if I want more resonant deep bass which I am a bass head. I love the sound of both of them but If there's anything that Harman Kardon needs to improve, it's definitely the battery life. 8 hours of playtime just isn't enough for me. My Charge 5 is less than half the size yet it can get up to 20 hours of playtime. Like Come On Harman Kardon, Do Better!!
@@hugoingelhammar6163 i also own a Go Play 2 and I’m very happy with the sound and the meaty bass it can produce. I’m thinking to buy an Onyx 7 for another room. Is the bass of Onyx as good as on Go Play? Or is the sound of Go Play generally better? Thank you
@@Rtuzemsky I actually handed back my onyx 6 and bought onyx 7 when there was a discount after cheistmas. I would definately say go for the 7. Its the stereo sound that makes the difference. Bass wise the 6 might be stronger, but the seven definately has a good bass too and a more full and well rounded sound. I have had some minor connectivity issues woth my 7 though, but it works if i restart them then. If you compare it with the GoPlay2 i would say goplay is still one level sharper soundwise. It filled up the whole room better than onyx 7, but I like the format of onyx better. But onyx sound is still incredible and I never think about it as a problem. So as an extra room speaker it will suit your needs well!
Yeah I got two onyx 6, they do work in stereo with 2 of them if you hold down the play button on one of the onyx 6s for 5 seconds (after you are already listening to music in 2 speaker paired/dual mono mode). I have had the dreaded sound skipping issue that can happen in stereo mode 2 times in 20 hours of play. I assume the sound skipping issue is why HK doesn't promote the ability for stereo, since it can be problematic if it happens regularly but so far so good for me. At $99 each It was worth it to me to take a chance on these despite the potential skipping issue, in order to have 2 speakers for true separation. The sound is awesome. Note: Both times the skipping issue happened I had a second phone which was trying to connect to the Onyx 6s via bluetooth while they were already connected to another phone's bluetooth. That may potentially be what causes the skipping. YMMV
Onyx Studio has that ambient, non-directed sound. Good for background playing, mood creation, partying etc. To me, the 6 sounded better - in the 7 the mids seem to have receded a bit... and the sound has become more ambient/ less immediate.
Judging from the specs that have barely changed, should I go for the 7 or the old 4? I prefer a natural sound with slight stereo separation and enjoy heavy metal on medium volumes while also wanting to listen to classical music. Or would you recommend the Citation 200 for my needs?
il like the 2D approche of the 6 better. 7 falls apart too much for my liking + the 6 is easier to bounce off the floor because of the formfactor. + 6 is way more portable, flat for packaging away for a trip. I bought the 6, and will buy a second for stereo setup.
I hate, hate the idea that you have to bring yet another charger with you with a portable speaker, especially when they put a Type C port in it already
Onyx 7 tiene mejor separación de instrumentos sin embargo la Onyx 6 tiene un audio más sucio el bajo no lo veo mas profundo solo es mas sucio y menos preciso
Hey @Ezekielo, thannks for this review! I have a question you may be able to answer: both these speakers feature the capability to pair up into a stereo setup (Dual Wifi Sound, or Connect+ or whatever is called) ....but my q is: can you pair OS6 with OS7 into a stereo setup?
They've got to be kidding with that bar. Not only does it look bad and make the speaker hard to carry, it also manages to block the sound coming out of the passive subwoofer on top.
@@paolosantiago7543 Ikr, for now I only own one Studio 7, I would have loved to pair it with a 6, as 6 push a little more bass than 7 and 7 push a little more clarity than 6
@@ThibautMahringer that doesn't sound too bad to me that the 7 pushes more clarity. It's just sad that I'll have to buy two or three of them and the 4 will be left out.
Just bought the 6. It has a tighter sound but I guess it's all about personal preference. Both are awesome in their own ways.
better bass than the 7??
The impact of the bass of 6 is much noticeable with good balance in treble compare to 7..i hope the sounds of 6 had put into 7..i choose 6

Very first one I owed was the 5, got it as a birthday gift. Such beautiful sound, I’m still debating if 6 or 7 is better, right now I think 6.
Right now the 6 sounds better, sounds more bass, sounds more clear to me.

I love the sound of the 6, but the 7 has the look that I love.
Love my people doing reviews. Awesome
I prefer the 7 due to the sound stage and dpeth of the mids and in my opinion its more balanced due to this against quit a heavy bass presence
Listening via mobile phone therefore can’t tell. Which has smoother and more rounded off highs? Tizzy and tinny sounds hurt my ears. Thanks :)
I guess studio 6 is still a better option!👍
the 7's sounds more open, just that. and it's better than 6 to me
I agree!!
Because the onyx 7 with 2 twitters and the onyx 6 only 1 twitter.
I HAVE BEEN A FAN OF HARMAN/KARDON SPEAKERS FOR YEARS, I PREFER THE HK 6, BUT IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR BASSIER HK SPEAKERS, THEN YOU GO HK STUDIO 2.
❤ I've been using 6 very simple the bass is woof and it's a waterproof and it can last more longer than 7

In 60% I preffer the Studio 6, because the bass is more clear and loud
Dont be fooled the speaker size on both of them are the same

Love mine. No need for upgrading when we have an amazing speaker.
Is it just me the studio 6 sounds fuller the 7 sound kinda empty
Yup XDD
7 more clarity More balance lovely design 👍👍👍✅
The studio 7 sounds much clearer. No one beats Harmon Kardon but what I don't like is their battery life isn't long enough.
It’s rather annoying as they have the opportunity to improve battery life but simply don’t want to, at least not yet it seems.
Can you use a portable charger in the os7 When on the streets ?

Better stick with my 6, it fits well in my backpack anyway.
