I probably would have liked this speaker better than I did if not already owning the Harman Kardon Soundsticks 2.1. The problem here is I tried this Onyx Studio, for one, because I love the sound the HK Soundsticks put out.

How do you use the build in microphone

Excellent bass, fantastic sound and can play quite loud while still sounding good. Slow at charging but battery holds up nicely. Plays better when plugged in, as it uses all four speakers versus only two on battery.

Sound quality isn't as good as the full sized Harmon Kardon Go Play that I had before, but the size and weight is much better! Good enough I guess. I would also compare to the Sonos or Bose.

Great sound quality. Well balanced. Much better that others in the market. Perhaps not as convenient as other speakers to transport. But if you want to leave in your house is ideal. In fact, the battery is not its strong point. But the sound quality is worth it. And the price discount also!!

Its an Awesome wireless speaker and looks and feels Premium. Mid low and high all are produced pretty well. Sounds way better than Bose Soundlink. Easily gives more than 4.5 hrs of playback. The microphone for handsfree is also great. Its way better than both its predecessor and successor.
