A very high-quality product, I take it not for the first time.

My hobby is making songs in my home studio. I have been using SVEN 2.1 acoustics for a long time, adored them for their adjustable sub and disliked them for their loud background noise. Finally, I decided to switch to professional studio monitors Yamaha HS 5. It turned out that in addition to two monitors for 32,000. You also need a separate huge subwoofer for 40,000. (which is too expensive and inconvenient for a rented apartment, as well as for the ears of neighbors). So I suffered for a year without sub and the ability to connect a computer / phone via Bluetooth. As a result, I bought Harman / Kardon SoundSticks 4. In general, I think that at the moment I could not have bought it better, I am satisfied with the purchase.

Pros

- Well, of course, the first thing is the appearance, for me it is extremely important. White minimalistic space speakers look amazing. White fittings, unlike transparent, I like much more - Build quality, nice materials - Bluetooth! I can finally lie on my bed with my laptop without losing the ability to watch movies with great sound. - You can not change the color of the backlight. Seriously, why are you doing this?! So, the column would immediately lose its chic and become a Chinese music column with Ali

Cons

- Often the speaker is connected via Bluetooth to the phone, and 3.5 Jack to the laptop. When I turn off the speaker from the phone, the sound from the computer for some reason becomes very quiet and each time it needs to be raised manually with the buttons on the case. I don’t understand why he resets Jack’s volume control every time if he used Bluetooth for a while - I never figured out why to make the backlight only when connected via Bluetooth. Why it was impossible to add this mode to both Bluetooth and Jack, as well as the ability to turn it off completely - No subwoofer adjustment. Sometimes the sub is so loud and strong that the walls and floor rattle - Old Bluetooth 4.2, could add 5.0, not to mention AirPlay 2
