Harman Kardon released the latest Onyx Studio speaker called Onyx Studio 5 at the end of August of 2018. All the previous versions looked pretty much the same (Onyx Studio 1 to 4) but this one is different. HK has finally accepted some customer suggestions and made some changes. Harman Kardon decided to stick to the recognizable circular design but they finally removed those undetachable legs from the rear panel (you can find them on all the previous models). Onyx Studio 5 is slightly wider than the previous versions and has a rubberized bottom that is supposed to ensure stability. Besides removing those legs, HK made this speaker even more portable by installing a nice aluminum carrying handle on the top. Also, the control buttons are relocated from the top to the front panel.

Harman Kardon Aura Studio 2 is unlike any other Bluetooth speaker you can find on the market. Now, you probably already know that Harman Kardon makes stylish, visually appealing speakers but this one is unique and looks better than any other Harman Kardon Bluetooth speaker we’ve reviewed in the past. When it comes to design, it can’t get much better than this. Aura 2 should not be mistaken for similar versions Aura and Aura+ (they support wi-fi, AirPlay, and come with an app) which are more expensive but look pretty much the same. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Besides the impressive design, there are a few more great things about Harman Kardon Aura Studio 2. The most interesting feature is the ambient lighting. That's the first thing you are going to

Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 4 is one of the best sounding Bluetooth speakers under $150 on the market.

Most of our complaints are related to battery durability (this beautiful speaker needs some stronger battery) and build quality. This speaker is made of premium materials and looks/feels expensive but it’s not

DOSS SoundBox XL comes from the manufacturer called DOSS AUDIO which is another Chinese audio manufacturer. They usually make entry-level Bluetooth speakers but SoundBox XL was supposed to be their premium unit. DOSS SoundBox XL is, just like all the other DOSS speakers, mostly made of plastic and it’s actually another affordable budget speaker that looks pretty good (even premium). The best thing about SoundBox XL is the sound. It sounds better than most of the other budget Bluetooth speakers under $100. It can even compete with much more expensive speakers of similar size (like Sony XB40). The starting price for the SoundBox XL was way too high (more than $100) but it dropped fast. Today, you can have this speaker for less than $60. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || [])

Aiwa Exos-9 is one of the most popular and highest rated battery-operated (portable) Bluetooth speakers on the market. Exos-9 is not a high-end speaker but judging by the reviews and ratings on the Amazon, you might get the impression that it is. Aiwa Exos-9 is a nice-looking and quite large Bluetooth speaker. It’s portable and you can use it outdoors but be aware that it’s not rugged or waterproof. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); One of the things that make this speaker special is the number of drivers. People from Aiwa managed to install five drivers (2 midrange woofers, 2 tweeters, and 1 subwoofer) and some high-quality crossovers inside this speaker. You won’t see that many drivers in a Bluetooth speaker that often. Most of the today’s Bluetooth s
