According to our WiFi speaker expert
Listen wirelessly to your favorite music, movies, and series with the Citation ONE smart speaker. Connect this speaker to AC power, then connect it to your smartphone via WiFi or Bluetooth. You can control the speaker from the Google Home app. With the built-in Google Assistant, you can also control the speaker with voice commands. This way, you can easily turn the volume up or down or ask it to play your favorite song. With the Assistant, you can also operate your home's smart equipment and you're always informed of your schedule, the weather, and any traffic jams. I you want, you can connect several Citation speakers via WiFi. This way, you can easily create a home cinema sound setup or a multi-room system. You can't connect the WiFi speaker to the Harman Kardon soundbar. You'll need the Citation Surround speakers for that.

intro Harman Kardon equals rock solid sound quality to me. I was therefore very curious about this Citation One. It is in my living room and so far I am very satisfied. The bass is very powerful for such a small device. And let's face it, the speaker itself is already a picture to look at. The dirt-repellent and fire-resistant Kvadrat coating does its job well.
Design fits into any interior I mentioned it above, but the Kvadrat fabric upholstery gives the speaker a luxurious and timeless look. In addition, it is dirt-resistant, which works well in a house with a lot of dust, like mine. If you want to purchase more products from the Citation line, they all fit together well.
Installation and operation is easy All I had to do was plug in the speaker and add it in Google Home. The app actually does the rest. After a short update, the speaker is ready for use. The only downside to the Google Home app is that I can't adjust the bass, mids, and treble.
Sound is clear and detailed The Citation One produces both good lows and highs. The sound is very clear with a lot of detail. Both electronic songs and songs with a lot of vocals come out well. It also has a lot of bass in it. Unfortunately, you cannot adjust this via an equalizer. I also don't think the maximum volume is very high. But you know what they say: less is more.
Google Assistant answers all your questions It makes me a little lazy, that Google Assistant. I don't have to do anything myself anymore. In the morning I ask if she reads me the news and if I should wear a raincoat or not. We also discuss my agenda for that day. And when I come home in the evening I say 'Hey Google, open Netflix'.

After testing Sonos, Heos, Sony Soundtouch, Harman Kardon came out the best… the sound is simply fantastic. I started with the Omni Plus series, but when it came out I switched. The Omnis now serve in a different part of the house and the advantage is that they can all be linked with Google Home (whether or not in one group). The installation was also super fast via Google Home.
The only 'minus' is that this speaker will quickly become too small for a normal living room. I myself have the Citation 300 there to bridge the whole and the One is in the seating area near the TV. Together they give a great (stereo) sound throughout the living room and kitchen.
I've been using them for a week or two now and I'm very satisfied!

Speaker produces super sound and can be loud enough to provide music to a living room in a terraced house. In doing so, he does not lose any quality. However, this ensures that it can cause quite a bit of vibration in the place where it is standing. Furthermore, it is easy to set up via Google Home and it registers your voice well. The exterior fits nicely with my interior.
Finally, the support from Harman Kardon is also good if you have a problem with the product. I am speaking from previous experience here.
