harman/kardon Aura Studio 3 - Elegant, BT Wireless Speaker with Premium Design and Ambient Lighting- Black

Product Information

The light is a bit of a gimmick and can be annoying on a bedside table as I like to play music to relax and fall asleep on. Remarkable active noise reduction function, effectively isolate noise and enjoy details of your favorite music. It's also compatible with the Bose Music app, which features bass and treble adjustments you can use to tweak its sound profile. Uniquely, inside the dome is a linguine-like textured glacier featuring cool toned LED lighting, setting an ambience through the textured base with the lighting gently washing across.

With a transparent body and ambient lighting, the Aura Studio 3 will add prestige to any interior home décor. Localizability is improved when listening close to the device; at further distances it’s not very satisfying.The device’s distance perception, making voices sound further away, is also a drawback in this situation. Wireless is the flagship way to connect, with a ten metre range and a quick re-establishment of previous devices which is greatly appreciated. While it looks like its predecessor, the Harman/Kardon Aura Studio 2, the Studio 3's dome is completely sealed and doesn't have a bass reflex port in its center. Well, you would need something to at least accept the microphone input, such as a pc, and output it to the device.

It has a balanced sound profile out-of-the-box, making it suitable for listening to a variety of music genres, though it can sound alternately dark and bright at times. It pairs room-filling audio with integrated ambient light effects and a water wave ripple movement to experience music in a new, visually dynamic way.

Autumn in New York’ by Diana Krall was one of the first pieces of music we heard through the speaker and it wowed us with the impact from its rounded and rather broad soundstage. The JBL PartyBox 100 is a better speaker than the Harman/Kardon Aura Studio 3 overall, though they're designed for different purposes. With the Aura Studio 3, we’re doing just that,” said Dave Rogers, President, Lifestyle Audio Division at HARMAN.
