    Since onyx studio 4 Harman Kardon has went backwards.
    The onyx studio 3 had a mic , as well as 2 midrange speakers, 2 tweeters and 2 passive radiators. I have 2 onyx studio 3 and I pair them together.
    Harman kardon needs to get their act together. What they can do is make a more powerful onyx studio 3 with better battery life. Also give the option for USB type c charging.

    Without thinking about what other alternatives may be better, could I use it to watch movies on Apple TV? Would it be affected by the delay, would there be a difference in the delay if we compare 6 with 8?

    • @diorgrey44
      @diorgrey44 6 місяців тому +1

      I don't have a delay with mine using the Apple TV but the voice comes out low it's almost like the surround sound and back sounds are louder than the voice have to turn it up really loud to hear the voice. I love the bass on this but for TV I wish there was a way to soften the bass to hear the voices better. It also has an improved Bluetooth so there is no delay

    I always run a pair of 7s in stereo. The sound stage is incredible!!!
    Sound quality is really very good but for real quality music (not techno BoomBoom stuff) it falls a little short in the upper mid range and the highs could use a little help.
    This might be do to me playing them outside in wide open areas.
    I'm thinking the 8s may fix those mids and help the highs. I might have to give them a try.
    I get about 7 hours out of my 7s at mid volume and about 3-4 at high volume on the battery which is great IMO. If you play more bass boom boom obviously it won't last as long and plugged in to 120volts you get more powerful sound.
    But let's be honest if you play mainly Boom boom techno music you really don't need this kind of quality anyway.
