Harman Kardon SoundSticks II

...right speaker. Also Harman Kardon has ensured that the speakers are plugged in the correct sockets by choosing two different kind of sockets for the two satellite speakers. An installation manual was included but everything is so easy to assemble and install, I found it redundant. No user manual is included but again is not required. Also I had to mention this - the sattellite speakers have an air vent at the bottom providing an enhanced over all ...
...speakers on either sides of the laptop and the bass tube under the table as suggested in the installation manual for optimum performance . We now have 3 sets of speakers amongst us friends and all of us are enjoying them. We have made an excellent buy. It just doesn't end here. Two more friends are placing their orders as I am writing this review. Unfortunately, PCW has temporarily run out of stock but amazon Uk is also selling at the same price ...

Review of Harman Kardon SoundSticks II

My Harmon Kardon Soundsticks are plugged into the back of a Mac and have certainly livened things up. I haven't needed to upgrade soundcards or do anything technical whatsoever in my pursuit of fantastically rich sound quality. Firstly, these sound better than anything else on the market within the price bracket. The sound is rich and deep with ample adjustment for either volume or base. The two sticks and base unit come with an instruction manual, ...
...can throw the manual in the recycling bin. The speaker set simply plugs into the jack socket of your PC/Mac/laptop and have their own power supply which connects to the base unit. Seperate cabling attaches the sticks to the central base unit. Once plugged in you get a cool blue underlit main unit which looks really stylish. The sticks themselves are mounted on adjustable rubber hoops which keep them firmly planted to your desk with adjustment to ...

Review of Harman Kardon SoundSticks II

...These speakers look the business! Harman Kardon share designs with Apple computers and this is shown. The satellite speakers are set in a clear casing which shows off the wiring superbly. The satellites are made up of 4 dome tweeters and have a heavy blue rubber stand. The sub is the centre piece. I am dissapointed that i do not have room for this on my desk as it looks so good! Almost like a jelly fish the sub is set in a clear casing with a blue ...
...appearance. They are the future! The satellites and sub are relatively small in comparison to other speakers of the same size and quality. My brother has a 2.1 creative setup that cost around the same amount and the sub is twice the size of this however the performance is no better. --Cons--- I'd be happier if the bass adjust knob was placed at the front of the sub rather than the back, so i can hear the difference in tone whilst i am adjusting. ...

Review of Harman Kardon SoundSticks II

...mind, the advisor suggested the Harman / Kardon SoundSticks 2 stating that they were brilliant. So I had a look, opened up the box to take a look and was surprised at what i found. The speakers are tiny! About 30cm tall with four small tweeter sized cones inside. This immediately put me off because I KNEW I wanted some loud speakers but the design is fantastic, they look really stylish and sleek (just like me :P ) The price was right at £139 and ...
...them before and thought I should definately buy them. So..... I did. When i got home I unpacked the box and just placed everything on my desk to have a look. The sub looks like what I can best describe as a jellyfish, with a clear plastic shell. I like fish so I thought, best try them out. I put the sub under my desk and the two satellite speakers at ear level on a shelf either side of my desk, turned on my pc and played some music. All I can say ...

Review of Harman Kardon SoundSticks II

One of the coolest speakers i saw come out were the Kardon Soundsticks II multimedia speaker system. I didnt actually see them online or anything like that, the speakers are actually somewhat endorsed by apple, as I first saw them hooked up to almost all of the ipod's and apple mac's on display. The first thing i noticed was their unusual look - as obviously they are transparent. For me, that went on the plus side of things, as I can'r resist a funky ...
...can't quite describe but the unit is nicely accompanied with silver screws wires and other general add ons, so that nothing is too imposing. The only negative thing that I can think of is the size of the whole system, particurlaly the subwoofer. Bearing in mind that these are pc speakers, people do not always have the space for this size of speaker, no matter how good the sound is; and although the second amazing thing I noticed was the clear crisp ...

Review of Harman Kardon SoundSticks II

I saw these, slightly phallic speakers in a shop a LONG time ago, and loved them to pieces immediately. But there was no way I could spend that much (nearly £200) at the time, on speakers for my PC. Anway, I invested in a high quality soundcard some time ago, as I was doing a lot of work with music. Since then, I'm doing less "professional" music stuff, and decided I wanted to get those awesome speakers I saw a few years back. After some searching, ...
...the beatiful lines of the speaker satellites, and the amazing curves of the subwoofer. I COULDN'T RESIST! I bought them, and I haven't regretted it since. The box they come in is so exciting to look at, I think I must have sat staring at it for about 10 mins before I tore into it to retrieve my new equipment. It was so exciting. They were well packed in shaped card - everything easy to put up and assemble. Slightly lacking on the instructions front, ...

Crystal clear sound quality and top class looks to go with it! what more can you ask for in a destop pc speaker set up. Certainly worth paying the extra over similar products such as the JBL Creature II speakers. ...

Review of Harman Kardon SoundSticks II

These speakers are one of the best pieces of equipment I have purchased in years. I was looking for some speakers to play my ipod through and also my laptop. I considered one of the compact ones that fitted an ipod mini, but i have since bought and ipod nano and this would not have fitted. The speakers have fantastic bass sound that is adjustable to taste, a cool blue light in the sub, and small but powerful speakers to blast out your favourite ...
...of people who have asked me what on earth is that thing on your desk...and then I give them a demonstration! It never fails to impress. I take them anywhere I can, I guess that's the only drawback that they are large. I have had them for a couple of years and it was money well spent. If you like your music, the plug to connect to the music is a regular headphone jack so you can plug them in to a huge number of music outputs. The second generation ...

Review of Harman Kardon SoundSticks II

These speakers are a sleek, stylish and classy addition to any personal computer. I bought these speakers from PC world instinctively. I saw the clear and transparent style on the box and immediately knew that I had to have these speakers. I havent regretted this rash decision at all. Thye sound quality matches the design quality. I already knew that Karman Kardon produce superb sound devices in many exclusive bmw sound systems and this system ...
...a nice, clean bass sound. The stick provide enough power to accomodate the loud sub woofer. Best of all has to be the design. Its something that catches the attention of anyone walking into the room. The button to change the volume is on the stick and is touch sensitive. A trick to show off to any person who comes over. I would thoroughly recommend this product. ...

Review of Harman Kardon SoundSticks II

I bought these speakers 1 year ago after testing them against others in my local apple store. I found that they were as good if not better than the Bose sound dock which is twice the price and only works with an iPod. I have read reviews saying that they are badly made but I have had no problems at all with them and they are as good as when I first bought them. The sound is excellent and the sub produces some great base. Not only do they sound good ...
