    Alan Ross: the audio authority.
    Thank you very much for this hard (and expensive $$) work.
    I had no reference when I purchased version 7 a few months ago, but the value was unmissable: $128 in direct conversion, which for the country where I live, is an excellent price.
    As I use it in aux mode, I made the appropriate equalization adjustments.
    It really is another world for those who came from mid-range Chinese boxes, without underestimating the great Anker and Tronsmart.

    Well you officially reviewed all onyx studios👏. The Studio 5 for me was my first proper deep bass speaker coming from the Xtreme 2 which I still have today. About two years ago is when my studio 5 got melted on the fireplace do to mom putting it there since thats where I listen to my speakers in my den when its off. I always did miss my studio 5 until I purchased the Studio 6. But once I got the studio 7 I really didn't use the Studio 5 that much since the bass was pretty dirty at higher volumes. And than the same thing happened to the studio 7 when I got the 6. So the main Harman Kardon speakers I use is my Studio 6 and citation 200. But as a at home speaker the citation 200 makes a lot more sense it's just more convenient. It comes with Google Assistant,wifi and I could always add citation speakers to create a 5.1 surround sound setup but the other ones are very hard to find and very expensive. And another fun fact we first start communicating when I drop my Studio 7 versus 5 video😅

    Ive had my onyx studio for around 10 years now, it has really served me well. Today I wanted to replace it so I went ahead and bought an Ultimate Ears Hyperboom. I am going to return the Hyperboom, cause I dont think it is better than the onyx studio. Sure, it is slightly louder with more bass but thats about it. I think the sound quality of the onyx studio 1 is better than the UE Hyperboom. Which is kinda crazy.

    Really looks like the 6 has the most neutral response, besides the bass boost of course. That slight bump at the 7-8khz region might bode well for off axis listening and it doesnt have that 4-5khz dip seen on the 5. I always yearned for a little more highs when I owned the 5s. The 6 is the nearest to textbook which is impressive. I might get one solely for outdoors since it is so cheap now, and its water resistant.

    Hey Alan I’m currently using the motion plus and I was looking for a speaker with some better bass, but I’m in an apartment, so are there any speakers you think could get me some more power while also playing well at the lower levels (15-25% on IOS volume bar)?

    @alanrossreviews would you say it’s worth paying $50 more for a studio 5 ($$200) vs a studio 7 ($$150)? Or are they relatively comparable. I see you saying the 5 is better bass so how much better??

      Ok so I guess I’ll ask this, if I have 150-200$ to spend on audio for my shop, would you say go with an onyx studio and eventually get another one, or would you say I’d be better off with a traditional sound at w/ woofer combo…. I do have neighbors at my shop so I can’t really play at max volume atleast until after business hours… also I do like music w heavy bass…. I really don’t NEED it to be portable, just curious what your optimism would be

    I have the 4 and 5. I prefer the 4 for my bedroom as the 4 (plugged in) is always on. That’s important to me because my work Desk is 10 feet from the Onyx 4 so I don’t need to turn it on when I want to use it with my PC or IPad. The Onyx 5, on the other hand, turns off after a few hours of idle when it’s plugged in.
    For travel and outdoor use the 5 is best because of the handbag design
    For indoor use in small rooms the 4 is best for me because the bass in the 5 is overwhelming and less clear on vocals

    I’m having a hard time deciding to gift my studio 6 to a friend and get a studio 8 open box on eBay for $130 USD…. Or I can get a brand new studio 6 for $100 USD. I find my studio 6 to be very bass heavy (impressive for the size) and the mono aspect wasn’t a huge issue but noticeable on some tracks. I never travel with it or take it outside. Considering the similar price, what do you think is the better purchase? Studio 6 or 8?
