Review on Smart column Harman/Kardon Citation One MKII, black by Mateusz Weber ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not a bad product, but I expected a little more.

In general, the sound is not horrible, but the overall quality leaves much to be desired, for the price of two hundred to three hundred dollars it's normal, and it's unusual that in many respects it would lose out to the younger brother (JBL Link Music)

Pros
  • - unadulterated audio quality - competitive pricing; if you look about, you should be able to get a decent deal up to 300 Brazilian reals. — Has a good connection with Spotify, - You are able to cast sound from any device that is connected to the same Wi-Fi network using a feature known as chrome cast. For instance, you could cast sound from a tab in Chrome.
Cons
  • a bass that is excessively powerful, and while there is no means to alter it, it is bothersome in some songs despite the fact that there is no way to adjust it. - Although Google Home does not natively enable music playback, you are able to stream music from your phone or any other device via Chromecast (google chrome tabs in a browser for example) - strange characteristics, I compare it with jbl link music (without alice), so it is two times smaller, and the power is twenty watts as opposed to forty watts from H / K one, so it seems as though H / K one plays two times quieter, but at a volume that is the same in terms of sensation, the sound of H / K is cleaner. (it's possible that not just one but two speakers will win) Again, in comparison to JBL music, the H/K microphones are of worse quality, Google Assistant does not work immediately, and the software is less accurate at recognizing speech. - When walking directly at the speaker in a silent state, i.e. just in the connected network, noise (a slight hiss) can be heard; I did not observe this with jbl music. - This does not happen with JBL music.
