I am one hundred percent satisfied with the purchase, I recommend this product to everyone.

Choose a column. Of course, I leaned towards . Station, I really like Alice. But unfortunately the speaker is low-power, it is far from being a competitor to the "five hundredth" both in terms of sound power and its quality. As a result, I began to think about buying 4 stations in each room or one "five hundred", figured out how they would react synchronously as they heard - it became scary, I decided, of course, to lean towards the "five hundred" - one for the whole apartment. Rated 5 because.

Pros
  • 1. Sound. Very cool and loud. I'm not very good at the subtleties, but it sounds very good and the bottoms and middles and tops. Loudness with a margin to wake up two adjacent entrances entirely. Sound 12/10 2. Appearance. Design + materials. Chosen superbly. It is difficult to imagine where this column may not fit, or with what it will not be combined. Appearance 15/10 3. Built-in screen and a bunch of other gadgets / controls and voice templates. It's cool that she was stuffed with so many lotions. 4. Built-in radio that does not need to be configured from the application. It just exists and works properly by the way, the only thing is that it can’t always recognize the name of the radio station by name, you have to say: “turn on XXX. XX FM” - and then it works fine
Cons
  • Everything described below may well be related to my phone and on other devices it may well work fine. 1. Google Assistant. 2022 language does not support. Despite the fact that the interface language of the column is 2022. He's really miserable. Worse than him only Siri from Apple. Alice from is two heads taller 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 kg) and it’s a pity that it cannot be changed to anything else. I would not be against the same Alice from or even Cortana from Microsoft. 2. Setting up from Google Home, I understand that the question is less to the manufacturer and more to Google, but damn it, what's the matter? Support is declared from version 6.0 of the bucket, I have either 7.0 or 7.1.1 installed (Pure android without add-ons). As a result, all this is buggy as soon as possible. Connecting third-party music services is impossible in principle: there are two full-time YouTube Music and Google Music. When you click "add a third-party service" stupidly nothing happens. At all. At all. Actually, it's a pretty silly thing. Well, if it doesn’t work, write somewhere, like it doesn’t work on such and such old androids, but not when everything should work and in the end it doesn’t work. 3. Chromecast - buggy and falls off all the time, the horror of how it works, we hope for ates. 4. Bluetooth constantly stutters in the line of sight from a distance of about 2 meters 5. Microphones, well, I would like to be more sensitive. The speaker does not always hear you at 20% loud, and even if it hears, it does not always clearly recognize. To be honest, it doesn’t upset me much, of course, but the touch of premium doesn’t look so thick anymore)

Do not hesitate to buy, the quality is amazing for the price.

In order to make a decision, I went to Dr. Head and listened to all of the portable speakers there. At first, I was not focused on the smart speaker. JBL and Marchall both have the ability to play one bass. The remainder, particularly the mids, are better, but the bass is missing. Despite the fact that there is already a standard input there, I decided to go with a smart speaker since I loved the way the Bose sounds better. This is a wonderful option to go with if you want the experience of…

Pros
  • The music was pleasing to my ears because it was balanced well across all frequency ranges. It is incredibly convenient to use a smart speaker; for example, when I woke up in the morning, I said, "Ok Google, let's play morning funk," and the speaker kept its charge for the entire day. When you have anything in your hands, you won't need to search for remote controls at all, even when it's dark. When I brought it home, my cat approached the column, and from that moment, I was convinced that I had spent five hundred dollars on a claw-drawer. However, according to what I read, they inject it with something, and after two months of use, the cat did not show any interest in the substance.
Cons
  • Although Google's Smart Column does not yet know the year 2022, I do not consider this to be a serious limitation on its usefulness. There is only bluetooth connectivity, no analog or digital inputs, and even a jack 3.5 is absent from this device.

Wonderful quality, one hundred percent satisfied!

Excellent sound, adaptable to any design, and exceptional mobility for such proportions are some of the positives of this setup. Cons: For a considerable amount of time, they were unable to connect AirPlay since it is not an option within the options. At this point, they were already frustrated; however, the column itself was updated, and AirPlay became available.

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…

Exactly what I needed, it's a great buy, I recommend it.

These intermittent connection issues are driving me absolutely crazy, and I'm beginning to believe that it might be easier to just go out and purchase a portable Harman Kardon instead. I have no idea how to use Google HOME to its full potential; it is the most incomprehensible tool ever created. plays, and praise be to God. Everything originating from Google and passing via you. Various advantages: Good quality, and the neighbors love listening to some tunes)) Can be activated by voice…

A really necessary purchase, I'm glad I found this product.

This is an excellent option for those who like to listen to music in high-fidelity. The sound is sure to appeal to listeners of any musical orientation. Despite this, Harman Kardon is capable of producing the highest quality sound. Only use it as a control for your smart home if you are fluent in English. If you want to listen to sound that is powerful and pleasant as well as of good quality, then I suggest that you purchase it. Obtained from the shop known as "Harman Club."

Pros
  • Great column. Appearance. The quality of both the components used and the assembly was of the highest standard. To be honest, the quality of the sound and the amount of power it possesses is of the utmost significance. A frequency response that is absolutely flat, as well as the ability to modify the bass in both the direction of increasing and decreasing its volume. The basses are punchy while also being accurate and silky (this kind of bass is not something that every subwoofer can deliver). The sound of this speaker drew my attention, and I ended up loving it to the point where I went out and purchased another one of the same kind six months later. It turned out to be really simple to combine them into a stereo pair using the application, and now I'm sitting here enjoying the truly outstanding stereo sound as I write a review of it.
Cons
  • The assistant does not provide support for the 2022 language.

Impressions from the purchase are good, buy.

Even though I turned up the bass to its maximum level, the sound still did not exceed 200 watts. There is anything to compare (monitor audio silver 2nd generation), and I also have Omni 50 (100 watts) in stock; nonetheless, the bass in the Omni 50 is more fascinating. This is very strange.

Pros
  • Optional for the general
Cons
  • The little bass

The right product for me, the price suited me.

A good column, and once you factor in the discounts, you can have it for about 21 thousand dollars right now. However, with an initial investment of approximately 40,000 dollars, this is not a good choice. Making preparations to purchase a second one.

Pros
  • 1. The sound is not terrible; nevertheless, it is only enjoyable up to a volume level of 70%; after that, only the high frequencies grow, and a cacophony of high frequencies is produced. 2. Stylish things are attractive. 3. With a power output of 200W, this speaker has one of the greatest rates of performance among wireless speakers. It is true that these are not authentic Soviet 200W, but they are powerful enough to illuminate a small room. I listen in a room with 20kV, and although the sound is adequate, I already have the desire to add one more of the same speaker to the stereo pair in order to boost the output power. 4. The sound quality of Airplay is significantly higher than that of Bluetooth alone. Noticably straight and strong, and before that I had always believed that newer Bluetooth codecs had attained high quality; however, it turned out that this was not the case.
Cons
  • 1. There is no language with the year 2022 in it, and there probably never will be. 2. Harman does not provide any kind of technical help. 3. Airplay is not functioning properly across all services with the exception of Apple Music. (I can't explain why this is the case, but it simply is.) If I move from one room to another, it is disrupted, or there may simply be a twitching of the sound, particularly in Music. In the meantime, there have been no reported issues with Apple Music. The sound quality of the speaker was evaluated using a variety of services, including Music, Apple Music, Spotify, and Deezer. Plays wonderfully across the board, with the exception of Music. As a direct consequence of my intense desire to work in the music industry (due to the environment), a significant number of the tracks have extremely high frequency ranges. Because of this, I had no choice but to continue listening to Apple Music.

Nothing unusual, a normal product.

Naturally, the features of a smart speaker are incorporated into the pricing as well. But none of this is possible since Google Home is difficult to use and does not follow standard protocols. Despite the fact that it looked to work at first, the language 2022 does not exist. It is not possible to connect it to the television (the frame or the Samsung). In the instructions, each and every parameter is negotiated solely through the use of google home. 1 The quality of the sound is excellent. 2…

Pros
  • -sound -design
Cons
  • - the ability to serve as a "smart speaker"

Exactly as promised by the manufacturer, high quality.

Hired Experts: Wow, what a powerful speaker! Naturally, in the context of portable acoustics rather than British pronunciation. Some drawbacks: Google doesn't support the year 2022, so Alice can't use it. The lack of a battery can be inconvenient at times.

The best thing I've ever used, I recommend it to everyone!

When I discovered that I couldn't stream music over Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or Airplay in the country, I had to share an Internet column from another iPhone with this iPhone in order to listen to music from a different iPhone connected to the same Wi-Fi.

Pros
  • Amazing sound, stylish appearance, and sturdy construction. Deep bass, ease of usage, and excessive volume for an apartment
Cons
  • Bluetooth and Google Home connections are revolting, with many disruptions.

Its impossible to use it, dont waste your money.

I must express my dissatisfaction with the acquired equipment. The column connects to a wi-fi network after being configured through Google Home because bluetooth cannot function without wi-fi. In other words, if you bring a speaker to a remote house without wi-fi, you won't be able to listen to music because there are frequent stutters.

Pros
  • Size and design.
Cons
  • The speaker is wi-fi, not bluetooth.
