Harman Kardon Aura Studio 5 Black

I've had the Harman Kardon Aura Studio 5 for a while now, and it's a speaker you can't overlook. That glass design is really cool, and the subtle lights inside create a relaxing atmosphere in the room in the evening.

What's good about it?

The sound is simply powerful. Because the speakers are positioned all around, the music sounds the same everywhere in the room. The bass is powerful without drowning out the rest of the music. It's truly a speaker that effortlessly fills a room with sound.

The drawbacks:

You do need to know what you're buying. There's no battery, so it always needs to be plugged in. Also, that glass dome is a huge magnet for dust and fingerprints; if you want to keep it clean, you have to wipe it down regularly. It's also a shame that it doesn't have Wi-Fi; you're really reliant on Bluetooth.

Perfect sound reproduction, beautiful design.

The speakers are quite different from all those other Bluetooth speakers, particularly the transparent "dome" with lighting; it adds atmosphere to the home. Multiple settings are possible, so there is always a setting you will find pleasant. It can be connected to other speakers, but unfortunately not to my Harman Kardon Citation 300 speakers, which is a real shame. The connection used via AuraCast is therefore somewhat limited. The sound from the stereo speakers exceeds expectations; it is room-filling, not premium sound, but more than sufficient.
