Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 1 vs Studio 2 vs Studio 3

Review of most of the important differences between the Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 1 2 and 3 Bluetooth speakers (although I forgot to mention the 2 and 3 have an aux port), and options to protect your Onyx Studio Bluetooth speaker investment

[@tone305]

I just felt like Charlie Brown sitting in class listening to the teacher talk !

[@scott_CA]

Dude rambling on and missing the point

[@irhunte]

please, elaborate on "the point" with a link to your KZbin video here.

[@Juzy89]

Well, you actually talk more about the modification you have done rather than telling us what is truly different about each of these products before the modification. I think that got lost in the presentation. I think most people were expecting talking about features that are different in each product.

[@killacuz3]

so far ive seen a lot of comments along the same line as scott's ....instead of being combative just take the criticism and become better

[@paulmarquez9232]

Worst review ever. Can't get my time back.

[@AboveandBeyondGlobalDrones]

~ Still using my Onyx Studio (original) to this day. Besides the rechargeable batteries going dead, I have had No problems with this unit. Money well spent in this day and age of cheap electronics.

[@myes344]

You can buy a 19v battery pack and make it work. Or replace the batterys

[@trevorbalnaves9870]

Yeah, I bought a studio two back in 2016. Six months after I bought it the leg broke off, and I’ve glued it back at least four times. Now the battery doesn’t want to hold a charge, but I just can’t get rid of it because it sounds so damn good. It looks Jenkee now, and has to be plugged in full-time. I just don’t care. Let’s be honest, I didn’t buy it for battery life in the first place.

[@indrasoebagjo]

If i put C4 explosives inside each Studio 1, 2 and 3, and blow it up, which of the 3 studios will remain in working order?

[@markushoffsten]

Witch is best of dhem all! 1 2 or 3 ? batt time and sound?

[@migk2686]

Thanks for the video... very informative. Is the onyx studio 2 louder than the 3?

[@angelzenny9740]

does anybody knows if onyx studio 1 board be used in onyx studio 3? i prefer the studio 1 sound it can be felt more than 3.

[@tomthomas334]

thanks! studio 3 is on my ocd search engine list

[@larrytaylor2692]

Did you ever get the grill off the 3 because i can’t seem to remove mine

[@Darklighter43]

Difference between 2 and 3 is 2 is bluetooth 3.0 and 3 is bluetooth 4.1 and has the dual mode everything else is the same. Should be a notch at the bottom of the grill to remove.

[@coinraker6497]

Does the 3.0 to 4.1 make a big difference? I don't know how all that bluetooth upgrade stuff works.

[@brochrisav]

David Sears thank you for the explained info about these because this guy is boring me & not telling them about them lol. thank you again sir.

[@irhunte]

Anointed Vessel Bro Chris I'm sorry to have bored you, maybe I should watch each of the 39 videos you've posted so you can get your highest number of views up to 229? Maybe I will pick your videos apart while I'm at it just to try to publicly knock you down a peg as you have done for me?

[@trets14]

Isaac Hunter this cracked me up

[@morells09]

+Issac Hunter buddy learn how to take some fuckin constructive criticism lol no wonder your videos are so shit all you do is attack commenters that try to improve your videos

[@ciprianbohan6485]

very good speakers ! nice video !

[@MykTAOfficial]

Thanks! I ll pick the Studio 6

[@julianh1504]

i need a charger for the studio 1. do they all run the same power cord? please help

[@irhunte]

Julian H yes they do all use the same charger

[@garygnu13]

Can you pair the 2s together

[@barrybenkendorf672]

I will add my 2 cents! I have had the OS1 for years and have used it to its fullest capabilities for years now. I searched for years for the perfect speaker. The OS1 is ABSOLUTE PERFECTION, BAR NONE! I have NO complaints! It hits every high, every low, every midrange, completely the opposite of BOSE (no highs, no lows...)! I searched for Bose (as you know how disappointing and pointless that went) all the way up to B&O. Nothing comes close to H/K OS1! The 2 and 3 versions I've tested and aren't even close to the rich and precise sound qualities of the 1! Now I must always preserve the OS1 for the rest of my life, no replacement for perfection! If you find an OS1, BUY IT IMMEDIATELY, NO MATTER THE COST, worth every penny! I've never spent money so worthwhile than with the OS1!!!

[@ramrocker1004]

I have the OS1 too and my only complains are the short playtime and the absence of a connectivity option (excuse my English, please). I wonder if you have tried any modifications, or heard of any?

[@barrybenkendorf672]

@@ramrocker1004 not aware of any mods for it. Got OS2 now and gifted the OS1 to my parents. Love the AUX port for the OS2, it's my dedicated sound system for my TV. Works sooo well! Lots of powerful bass and room filling sound out of a tiny speaker. Amazing!

[@JosephAraza]

@@barrybenkendorf672do you get the same quality sound from v2? I also absolutely loved v1 but just went down after enjoying it for years.

[@barrybenkendorf672]

@JosephAraza yes, if you find a V2 get it immediately! Everything after V2 went down hill big time with sound quality! V1 and V2 were the only high sound quality perfect speakers! I even purchased a $2k B&O A9 Mk2 and the HK OS2 still sounds great in comparison, it actually better room fill than the B&O. It's just amazing the power and sound quality technology they crammed into the tiny HK OS1/2, incredible engineered speaker. It does EVERYTHING so perfectly! It looks just like a miniature B&O A9 so it must mean something to both have the exact same design and speaker placement! Forward facing tweeter and treble speakers rearward facing bass speaker. The only difference in performance is the B&O has an Amp for each individual speaker where the HK has only 1 Amp powering all speakers I believe, but it does an excellent job for everything it does so well. The watt output is much different as well. The B&O A9 is basically just an upgraded and much more expensive HK OS1/2.

[@marcin97]

Usb port is for service only, every manual states that.

[@rodrigogarciamz]

But in terms on audio or battery are the same?

[@irhunte]

pretty sure but I haven't spent enough time inside of the enclosures

[@brand0xn_779]

U would ever sell one ?

[@axelgaming4563]

Which is the best overall

[@thysonlubig8485]

Hey issac my studio just died after 3 years 😭 should I repair or buy a 3 or 5?

[@irhunte]

Define "died", if it doesn't light up or blink or anything when plugged in, take a volt meter to the power supply and make sure you're getting 19 volts there. Could just be a bad power supply

[@26socialbutterfly]

Why are you talking about modifying ???? I thought this was a comparison video

[@ivanroundtree246]

Does the OS1 have to be plugged in to use ?

[@myes344]

It has battery. Build in

[@googleuser6357]

Shouldn't you at least listen to the 2 before you tell us the 3 is the way to go? Apparently there are some differences in sound character. Personally I don't care about the dual play feature because that uses bluetooth and bluetooth is crap sound quality. I use aux cable from my phone for better sound, so I would use a couple of Chromecast Audio if I want to play two speakers. Actually I'd like to play my Onyx Studio 2 with another speaker that has more detailed mids. Did you figure out how to get the cover off your Studio 3? A dime works great with the 2. I always play it with the cover off, sounds a bit better that way.

[@heptamaulana6785]

how to insert aux feature?

[@irhunte]

drill a hole and connect it to one of the woofers, don't forget to solder and tape

[@gkmackey]

240p?

[@tomthomas334]

weird 101 subscribers and 101 dislikes, just noticed this. eye'ing up these speakrs, but might get a charge as its so portable and element proof, then again the main happiness from the speaker will be sitting indoors so I should go for optimal sound.

[@Random_4400]

I have the studio 3

[@mysticzz6685]

i got the studio 4

[@strongdan1]

Thanks

[@dmt99vn]

WTF is this physical test instead of sound test ?

[@irhunte]

not sure what your question is, I wasn't going to play music because my microphone and your speakers wouldn't accurately reproduce the frequencies these speakers produce

[@d0nj03]

You could've described the sound at least in words. Right now the other guy's video where he actually plays them is still more informative, and his microphone FYI did actually capture very deep bass, it's just a question of what various viewers are going to play that on, but it comes through just fine at my end.

[@irhunte]

interesting. I will take that into account if I do another speaker review. I will say that I connected a subwoofer to mine and ran a frequency test and these speakers do emit sound down to 20hz. I believe that all of the woofers are the same but I haven't inspected them closely

[@elbebe1000]

how they sounded compared to each other? You miss the point

[@irhunte]

make your own video and explain how the same woofers and tweeters produce higher and/or higher frequencies then?

[@richardbowden9561]

Looks like you missed a couple classes at school that taught the proper use of Punctuation, capital letters and grammar.

[@murrayd7259]

Hey there's a studio 4 out now

[@myes344]

5 is out

[@SiEmon_E]

Isaac, Good that you have done this comparison, you should be given credit as no one else has. It would be great if you could re-do it indoors with a slightly more organised approach. Thank you!

[@tomthomas334]

giving a like

[@viniciusrangel6896]

240p dude?

[@richardbowden9561]

Damn, everyone is ripping you apart and I actually watched it all the way through with no problem. I usually get bored of all the same technical crap and skip ahead. I personally liked the information and the video and sure you could of added a few other details but this was a nice overview from a regular person not a spec geek. You put in the time and effort to make something then all they do is click on it and bitch.

[@irhunte]

richard bowden thanks for your words, I feel like I could run for political office now because that's just a little bit of what they face. I started digging up info on my hateful audience and every one if them live in glass houses. I just don't have the time to fight fire with fire so I will let it be.

[@richardbowden9561]

Well, I thought you did a good job. You sounded like a down to earth normal person just putting out a video about a speaker your passionate about. I've seen all the specs and other crap I don't need to know anymore about. Your video is really good for people that have some electronic knowledge and like to understand more about how they work. Most but not all of the people that made negative comments probably never knew that the movement of air is very critical to sound. Any successful KZbinr will tell you to just not to pay attention to the negative comments and definitely not to argue back even though I found it entertaining.

[@richardbowden9561]

LoL WTF!! Click Bait me to the School house polka! LOL

[@rickyramirez6826]

I got the Harmon kardan onyx studio 2 and it's great as fuck but the batter is so ass. It's a stay at home speaker that should be charged while playing. Other than that it's really fucking great

[@jonasmaul4292]

Good video

[@nyrubin]

lmao I enjoyed the video that u making fun of more than urs 😂

[@irhunte]

well it's not for "eveyone" like your drone haha kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3inq6eMet1ml9E

[@nyrubin]

Isaac Hunter lmao.

[@irhunte]

Lol

[@sethej3]

Very difficult to follow. Many sentences you start are cut off and you decide today something else.. I like what your doing, it's just difficult to follow. I was interested in the add on you added into the onyx 1, but u never clearly named what it was, or how you installed it..... this video is not very watchable, I found myself skipping through for a sound test, or any straight forward explanation of CLEAR differences.

[@richardbowden9561]

I agree with you. I would say your comment is a constructive one. I too would like to know more information on how to adapt other sound sources to the Onyx. I would like to see more videos on it but with all the real nasty comments I really doubt he'll do another one.

[@morells09]

How the fuck do you even record something in 240p in 2017?

[@amaan6999]

Relax Bud. At least there's some information available. :)

[@richardbowden9561]

Probably with the only camera he has available. I notice your channel doesn't have a single video uploaded to see what resolution your using.

[@sameerakhalid1253]

the overall winner is hk os3

[@wiseguysnyc8311]

Man alive all that talking and no real information of a comparison between the three shiyattt

[@MoneyGameMusic]

This is not a VS video sir! Lol

[@hazardltg]

worst review of anything I've ever seen. how about you figure out wtf you want to talk about before you start

[@irhunte]

your mother and I would like you to get a job and move out of our house, Brian.

[@irhunte]

people can just hit the thumbs down and move on if they don't like a video. if they take the time to take shots at me, their skin must be thick enough to get one back...

[@hazardltg]

Isaac Hunter lmfao that's pretty good. please take Care of her

[@hazardltg]

Isaac Hunter lol no it definitely is I'm not the least bit offended actually got a good laugh.. its all good

[@irhunte]

Lol

[@orlandov9974]

you keep the review on the one not cool

[@rriveraramirez]

Obviosly the newer the speaker then better. How is this a fair review if you never turned on the Onyx Studio 2? Also next time, you should try to go straight to the point.

[@coinraker6497]

Ha ha, that's pretty funny. 1 vs 2 vs 3....but I never actually turned on the 2.

[@robertseanowen]

BORE .... ING ... good info, but tighten it up... needs editing

[@sandymarchand6784]

bla ba bla just wanted to know if they were upgraded in numbers. stop making a pontificating your putting us to sleep.

[@irhunte]

Are you a dude or a woman? I can't tell because of your name and your whining, but sometimes Sandy can be a dude's name, although if that's the case your parents probably wanted you to be a girl. My stepmother used to dress my brother up in a dress and take pictures of him when he was a baby so you're not alone!

[@trevorbalnaves9870]

So your video title suggests you are actually giving a review of what’s different about these three speakers, and all you do is brag about modifications that absolutely no one asked you to talk about. What a waste of time.

[@adrienehodge7253]

Too much rambling getting off track. Hard to follow. Did not find very useful. 😞
