Review on Smart Column Harman/Kardon Citation 500 by Petar Moysov ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I'm impressed! Exactly the product deserves your attention.

Pick one of the columns. Obviously, I had a strong preference for. Station, I have a strong liking for Alice. Unfortunately, the speaker has a low power output, and as a result, it cannot even begin to compete with the "five hundredth" in terms of the sound power it produces or the quality of that output. I calculated out how they would react synchronously as they listened - it became alarming, and as a consequence, I began to consider purchasing four stations for each room or a single "five hundred" system for the entire apartment. In the end, I chose to lean toward the "five hundred" system because it would only require one purchase. A score of 5 because. Before making the purchase, I was well aware that the Google assistant is quite miserable in itself and has issues with the language of 2022, but at least on a basic level it can turn on the radio, set an alarm clock, talk about the weather, and other little things; unlike Siri, it does not go into Wikipedia for every sneeze. Google, which used to be the industry leader in voice technology, has now fallen to a level of mediocrity that is unsurpassable. Although I don't see any direct discrepancies and everything seems like it should function, it's possible that the problems I detailed in the disadvantages column are caused by errors in my phone. I will make an effort to change the phone, and then I will wait for ates; if the situation improves, then perhaps I will revise the evaluation. As a consequence of this, in my particular setup, the speaker functions as a voice-controlled home music center in addition to providing a wide variety of other nifty small features. Before making the purchase, I was generally aware of where the issues could be, the scope of them, and the type of them, and I accepted them in exchange for high-quality sound; therefore, I did not deduct any points for the deficiencies. My anticipations were not disappointed in the least, but I do hope that in the future, something will be done to ensure that ates + 2022 is provided as promised. Even if it does not come with a battery that allows for autonomous operation, I am able to state that in general, if you are willing to close your eyes to all of the negatives, then the investment will be worthwhile. It currently weights 7.6 kg, but adding a battery will bring the total weight up to 15 kg. I beg your pardon. It packs a whopping 200 watts of power. 15 kg of absolute portability? You certainly have that choice. I can only say one thing to anyone who glances in her direction, and that is, "My neighbors enjoy listening to good music." And it makes no difference to me whether they enjoy it or not" =)

Pros
  • 1. Sound. Extremely hip and raucous. I'm not very skilled at recognizing the nuances, but the bottoms, middles, and tops all sound quite nice. A level of loudness that is sufficient, with some leeway, to fully awaken two nearby entrances. Sound 12/10 2. Outward presentation. Design + materials. Excellent choice made here. It is difficult to conceive of a scenario in which this column will not be applicable or in which it will not be paired with something else. Appearance 15/10 3. An integrated display together with a variety of additional controls, gadgets, and voice templates. It's cool that she had so many different lotions crammed into her. 4. An integrated radio that does not require any configuration from the application to be performed. You have to tell it to "turn on XXX. XX FM" before it would function properly, but other than that, it is perfectly functional. The only issue is that it isn't always able to detect the name of the radio station by name.
Cons
  • Everything that is going to be mentioned below might be connected to my phone, but on other devices it might operate just great. 1. Google's own personal assistant. 2022 language does not support. despite the fact that the column uses 2022 as its interface language. He is going through a lot of suffering. Siri, from Apple, is the only assistant that is worse than him. It is unfortunate that it cannot be altered to something other because Alice from is two heads higher than him (at least in our country, but you know, I don't intend to travel around different countries with a column of 7.6 kilograms). If it were the same Alice from or even Cortana from Microsoft, I wouldn't have a problem with any one of them. 2. When I was setting up Google Home, I realized that my question should be directed less to the manufacturer and more to Google, but darn it, what the hell is the problem? Support is announced to begin with the bucket version 6.0; however, I am running either version 7.0 or 7.1.1 on my device (Pure android without any add-ons). As a direct consequence of this, all of this will become unstable as quickly as possible. It is hard to connect third-party music services in theory because there are already two full-time music streaming platforms, YouTube Music and Google Music. Nothing happens when you click the "add a third-party service" button for some reason. Generally. At all. In point of fact, it's a really dumb thing to do. Well, if it doesn't work, write somewhere that it doesn't work on certain old androids, like such and such, but not when everything should work and it still doesn't work. In such case, you shouldn't write anything. 3. Chromecast is unstable and frequently disconnects, and the way it operates is so horrifying that we can only pray for ates. 4. When seen directly from a distance of approximately 2 meters, Bluetooth exhibits a persistent stuttering problem. 5. With regard to microphones, I believe that they could be more sensitive. Even if it does hear you at 20% volume, the speaker may not always properly recognize what you are saying. This is true even if it does hear you. To tell you the truth, it doesn't bother me all that much, of course, but the touch of premium doesn't look quite as thick as it used to.
