      Хоть вам и не нравится Оникс Студия 7, самые низкие басы из всей серии именно у него. Мне привезли его из Литвы за 99 евро. Не знаю, что за такие деньги можно приобрести лучше... Хотя нет, знаю! Еще один Оникс Студия 7!

      yeah i was a bit surprised as 6 was always a great listen for me. but the way they have changed the setup with drivers and the sculpted bass was interesting. aiming for deeper bass as they moved up in numbers but at the cost of upper bass and messing with mids. but never thinking a bigger battery would be handy 🤣

    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.

    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.

    • @alanrossreviews

    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😅

    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.

    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)?

    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 had the onyx 5 and two of the 6. The bass is so joyfull, but I missed somehow the clearness / loudness in voices. Partybox 310 (my reference BT Speaker) managed this better, Bass and Voices. But is a liiiittle larger and more expensive, maybe not comparable 😅
