Harman Kardon Aura Studio 5 WiFi Black

The Harman Kardon Aura Studio 5 Wifi is a stylish speaker that delivers powerful sound. The built-in lights add extra atmosphere to the entire room. Unfortunately, dust and fingerprints are quickly visible.

Stable connection I connect the speaker easily to my phone via Wi-Fi using the Harman Kardon One app. I find it convenient that I can keep doing my own thing. For instance, I watch a video on my timeline or call someone without the music interrupting.

Beautiful design I find the speaker's design futuristic thanks to the glass dome and the built-in lights. It is a real eye-catcher in my interior. The built-in lights add atmosphere to the entire room. The light shines around the speaker, and there is a projection light directed upwards. Because of this, I can even see the light show on the ceiling. The speaker features subtle touch controls, allowing me to control the light and volume quickly and easily. The speaker has sturdy feet made of soft material on the bottom. This ensures the speaker stands stably without scratching my furniture. However, I do quickly see fingerprints on the glass dome and dust on the speaker.

Powerful balanced sound The speaker delivers solid bass tones. At the bottom sits a large woofer that vibrates fully during bass-heavy tracks. Because of this, I enjoy the beat in hip-hop and techno music. Additionally, I hear the higher notes of vocals and instruments clearly and distinctly. This sounds well balanced with the bass tones, making the sound realistic. For instance, with classical music, I can clearly hear the different parts, yet it still sounds like a unified whole.

Handy app The speaker works with the Harman Kardon One app. In this app, I choose from various lighting settings. For instance, I determine which color theme I want and set the brightness and speed of the light pattern. Additionally, I can turn on only the 360-degree light, only the projection light, or both lights. I also adjust the sound in the app. I choose from pre-set equalizer presets or adjust the sound entirely to my liking using the manual equalizer.
