Review on Smart speaker Harman/Kardon Citation 500, gray by Jnis Stepi ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Money down the drain, poor quality product.

I don't know, maybe I came across such a flawed copy in terms of the connection, but the operation of a device that costs 500 Euros shouldn't be accompanied by such challenges and errors. I emailed Harman/Kardon support, but they have not responded or even said hello. Below are some advantages: The standard of sound. To my ears, it is very near to being ideal. The margin on volume is really high. When you listen to "loud" in a room that is 35 meters in size, this will turn on 40 percent of the volume. It's not good for the neighbors if it becomes any louder. Below are some downsides: There are a lot of challenges involved with playing sound from any source. You can play sound through the column using Bluetooth, AirPlay, or by switching to broadcast mode (Casting). None of the procedures operate as well as they should. When playing over Bluetooth and AirPlay, the signal vanishes and is interrupted, giving the impression that the sound source is very far away (despite the fact that the phone is only two meters away). When using the broadcast mode, the quality of one's Internet connection determines everything from the sound delay to how well orders are understood. Freezes up at random times and drops WiFi connection. Tested on mobile devices running both iOS and Android. The playback experience on an Android device is even more frustrating than that of a non-native iPhone app. One time out of every three, the voice assistant is able to comprehend the command.
