SoundSticks 4 Bluetooth Speaker System - White

I was attracted by it's design and well known brand so even I already have a Bose bluetooth speaker bought more than 7 years ago, I bought it and expecting this new device should sound better than technology years ago. No I'm wrong. My old Bose sounds better. It's bass is stronger and yet does not cover the clearness of treble despite it's smaller size like a piece of brick. The soundstick sounds more muffled. I still love my Bose speaker because it's also easy to carry around amd use it anywhere after it's battery is charged.

Al top!! Non si può avere di meglio!!

Sonido de calidad, muy bien empaquetada, funcional de maravilla

Must have aux in wire provided

I freelanced for Harman in the 90s and they were a great client for about 20 years. Over that time I got to experience all of the wonderful sound systems from the various Harman brands. I'm still a Harman fan even though I no longer work for the company, but this iteration of the Soundsticks didn't wow me like I hoped. First the cons: - Out of the box, the sound is flat (note that I said "out of the box"). This will bum out anyone that expects plug-and-play convenience. - Previous Soundsticks that had a nice mid and high range with bass that you could adjust in just the way you liked it. I find that every other song that I listen to requires adjusting the EQ. This is especially aggravating if you listen to a wide variety of music. If you're a whole album type, then you'll find that the speakers are great once you get them dialed in. - The cable length from the sub to the satellites is very short compared to old models. I was really surprised at how short they are and how annoying this was when setting the system up. - The satellites are fixed in the angle they point as opposed to the old models that were adjustable. If you want the sound pointed in your face, you're good. If you have a high ceiling and want to bounce the sound upward, you're stuck. A minor complaint, but I felt it worth mentioning. - At lower volumes the sound is noticeably flat... The pros: - ... but at loud volume, these speakers thunder like speakers three times their size - and they maintain their warmth and brightness without getting tinny. The flatness of the audio goes away and you will get room shaking power. If you love it loud, just hit that add to cart button and get your credit card out now. - The sound fills my office nicely and can be heard on the other end of my house at even a moderate volume. While this is a good thing, I'm not always cranking music when I'm at my computer. Sometimes I just want some light ambience and that's where these Soundsticks fall a bit short. - The design is nothing short of outstanding and they look great on my desk. Being able to get the satellites away from the sub is worth the price alone. And since the sub is so gorgeous, putting it on the floor under your desk would deprive you of seeing how cool it looks every time you walk in the room. I keep mine at desk level. And since all the buttons are on the sub, keeping it on the floor is simply not an option. A control dial would be nice for future models, but that kind of thing isn't Harman's style. - The sub can be very powerful if you're into that sort of thing. Oh, and the sub has a nice LED light. It's too bad that it's only one color and doesn't do anything but illuminate. - Others are complaining about the Bluetooth connectivity for some reason. It works fine for me. And you can connect with cables if you're old school. Of all the speakers I have in my house, I rank the Soundsticks at or near the top. Only my old Design Acoustics floor standing speakers can compete. The Soundsticks beat my Pioneer towers and trounce my JBL and Bose bookshelf speakers. If you're the type that doesn't consider yourself an audiophile, but also take music seriously and know good speakers when you hear them, the Soundsticks are tough to beat. Vastly superior to the all-in-one options.
