Make sure your Harman Kardon speaker is not just on and pairing, but is sufficiently charged or plugged in Basically, the Studio 4 has legs, a built-in microphone and you can pair two speakers in stereo. The Studio 5 has neither legs nor a built-in mike and no stereo capability. It also has only two drivers, not four. The woofer, however, is much larger, giving it greater bass. What is the difference between the Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 5 and Studio Onyx 6? The nearest rivals to the Onyx Studio 5 in my opinion are its predecessor, the Studio 4, and its successor, the Studio 6, both dealt with in this article. An addition, rather than a subtraction, is its all-new swish aluminum carry handle. This may seem an obvious design feature in a portable Bluetooth speaker, but few others have one.

Then press and hold the Bluetooth button on the primary speaker until you hear a tone . The tone will play after approximately five seconds, and the LED will start blinking rapidly. You can get the speakers to play in Stereo mode by pressing and holding the Play button on both speakers for five seconds . There are 5 control buttons – Bluetooth (pairing) button, 2 volume buttons, power button, and play/pause/skip button. Right under the control buttons, there’s an LED Bluetooth/battery status indicator. What is great to see is that you can also connect a 3.5mm lead via an auxiliary input to save that precious battery. This is getting rarer on Bluetooth speakers, so it’s nice to see Harman have retained it on the Studio 5. The JBL Xtreme 2 has a longer battery life than the Studio 5, is splash-proof, and has NFC. However, it is more expensive than the Studio 5 (up to 50% more), so they’re not really in the same league.

FAQs

The slight downside with fabric-covered speakers is they can get grubby. Harman recommends cleaning your speaker with ‘audio or electronic wipes’ which most of us know as screen wipes. A couple more notes on that bass as it’s such a feature of the Studio 5’s sound. You can’t really control the bass from the unit itself, only from the paired device. However, there are two base modes, high and low. Unlike the previous Onyx Studio speakers, Onyx Studio 5 doesn’t have a built-in mic (no speakerphone feature). If you want something equally stylish but cheaper and with a more balanced sound (and less bass), you can buy the predecessor – HK Onyx Studio 4.

We had all three colors in our possession during the Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 5 assessment, and our team was really captivated by the light gold hardware on the navy blue design, which really gave it an edge. The Onyx Studio 5 continues its minimalist styling by placing 5 subtle control icons on the front below the handle. They consist of a:

Often compared with Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 5

Onyx Studio 5 delivers pretty flat frequency response with a bass boost, especially at lower volumes (peak at 50-60Hz). The bass boost is really noticeable but it doesn’t affect the midrange and voices (doesn’t make them muffled). At high volumes, the bass is slightly reduced and the frequency response is even flatter. Compared to other Onyx Studio speakers, Onyx Studio 5 is a bass-heavy speaker. The bass is pronounced but controlled and not overpowering (it still sounds natural).

Press the power button and hold it until you hear a tone – the power button is located on the front of the speaker, just below the handle Step 4Harman Kardon has also changed the driver configuration. The previous models had four drivers (2 woofers + 2 tweeters) and two passive radiators but Onyx 5 has one large 5-inch woofer (compared to 3-inch woofers inside Onyx Studio 4), one tweeter, and (probably) two passive radiators. Based on the driver configuration and size, you can conclude that Onyx Studio 5 delivers much deeper bass and that’s the greatest difference between Onyx Studio 5 and previous Onyx Studio versions. This speaker is meant for bass lovers and really performs the best when some bass heavy music is being played. If you are a bass fan, you are going to love this speaker.

If you have two devices connected to the speaker, one wirelessly and the other via AUX cable, you cannot play the music via AUX connection until you pause the Bluetooth streaming.

(The only downside is there is no indicator of how low the battery is or how much longer it will last).
