Harman Kardon Bluetooth Speaker at Lowest Price
The Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 8 is currently $129.99 on Woot, which is a significant drop from the regular price of $499.95. According to price trackers , this is the lowest price ever—and if you’re a Prime member, you get free shipping (otherwise it costs $6). This deal is good for the next 27 days or until it sells out, but note that you cannot ship to Alaska, Hawaii, or a PO Box.
The asymmetrical shape of this speaker may seem wobbly at first glance, but there are rubber feet to ensure stability. One of the standout features of this speaker is its room calibration technology, which automatically adjusts the sound to suit your space. Whether you’re in a small apartment or an open attic, the speaker fine-tunes the sound for the best experience.
The Onyx Studio 8’s sound profile is well-balanced, especially in the mid-range, making it ideal for podcasts and general listening. However, if you like deep, powerful bass, this speaker is not for you. It lacks any serious low-end punch, so while the bass lines are present, they won’t shake the walls. It also doesn’t have an equalizer or audio customization options, so what you hear is what you get. Additionally, its controls are a bit of a mixed bag – they’re simple, but suffer from inconsistent touch recognition, which can easily become frustrating when trying to adjust volume or playback. This wireless speaker’s Bluetooth multipoint pairing feature allows you to connect two devices at the same time, but there is a noticeable lag when playing videos (so if you plan to use it for movies or YouTube, expect some sync issues).
While the Onyx Studio 8’s sound quality has improved over its predecessor, the Onyx Studio 6 , it lacks any water resistance at all, making it more suitable for a safe, dry setup in your living room. However, it comes with a one-year limited manufacturer’s warranty for added peace of mind. Battery life is claimed to be eight hours, but real-world usage is closer to seven, depending on usage (your mileage may vary). Plus, there’s no auto shutdown feature, so if you forget to turn it off, you’ll waste battery power even when the speaker is in standby mode.
