Harman Kardon Onyx studio 5/6 vs Go Play. Onyx studio has deeper bass than go play because of larger woofer size than go play, has similar clarity of go play because of two driver mono, lacks the sound stage of go play because of two driver mono.

 I thought getting the Onyx 6 would be just a step up from the 5 but was very surprised that it was not. I bang my music loud, and don’t get me wrong this one does get loud, but the HK Onyx 5 was the winner in the both vocals and bass. The description of this product (HK Onyx 6) stated that this speaker was bass heavy and that is what sold me. I could tell that they tried to bring the bass, However, I believe you still get more bass from the HK Onyx 5

This is a little lengthy but it’s an honest review.  I purchased this speaker after listening to how awesome my friends HK Onyx 5 sound. I thought getting the Onyx 6 would be just a step up from the 5 but was very surprised that it was not. I bang my music loud, and don’t get me wrong this one does get loud, but the HK Onyx 5 was the winner in the both vocals and bass

Not much difference between HK Onyx models 5 & 6, but still a pretty good speaker.

 I played some songs that were very sharp on my HK and they sound great on these. Overall impression is that it is amazing.

**- High:** Excellent as well. Very detailed but smooth, airy and not fatiguing. I played some songs that were very sharp on my HK and they sound great on these. Overall impression is that it is amazing

I had the chance to use these two hot pairs of speakers recently so I thought I'd share my impression for anyone who might be interested.

**Background:** *Please read this as it gives you info on my system, room, personal style etc which may impact my impression.* I caught the audio fever a couple of weeks ago. I got so many fevers in the past (motorcycles, cameras, watches etc.) and the only medicine for them is $$$. This time it is ... no different lol. I gave up after a few days of research and with budget of \~$1000, I bought myself an used Cambridge Audio CXA80, couple of cables, a nice Bluetooth receiver and a pair of Triangle Borea BR03. I set it up in my living room, which is \~13x16 and opens to my kitchen (behind the sideboard). Before this set up, I have the Harman Kardon Studio bluetooth speaker (it is amazing for the money btw). 

I considered the Elac UB5.1 before the Triangle, but was cautious about the 4ohm impedance. The idea of having to spend a lot of money in a good and powerful amp to make the speakers sound good is a bit silly tbh, especially at $600. The funny thing is one day after I ordered the Triangle, Elac introduced the UB5.2 with 6ohm at $600 and the price of the first version dropped by $300. Dang it. So long story short, I ended up with both the Triangle and the UB5.2. LOL. (the UB5.1 was out of consideration as I already bought the modest CA amp lol).

The Elac arrived a few days after the Triangle, so this impression is for the Triangle with \~10hrs of play time and the Elac with \~3hrs. So theres my break-in time data for you. 

I also use Spotify high quality + bluetooth for music. Too lazy for anything better than that. 

Now is how these sound and compare:

**1.** **Triangle BR-03:** 

**- Fit and finish:** Really good, looks much higher end than the Elac. Much bigger as well (which I like). The case is solid, but not as solid as the Elac. It might be the reason why the bass is better on the Elac.

**- Low:** It goes low but bass is not super heavy. Dont get me wrong, it is really good but definitely not strong point for the speakers (compared to the Elac). I usually play music with a little bass boost to make the sounds more lively.

**- Mid:** Wow. The mid is the highlight of the speakers. Its amazing, a bit forward, very detailed, great tone, vocals sounds freaking amazing. My music quality is probably not good enough to justify the speakers LOL but I agree with all the reviewers on the mid range of the Triangle.

**- High:** Excellent as well. Very detailed but smooth, airy and not fatiguing. I played some songs that were very sharp on my HK and they sound great on these.

Overall impression is that it is amazing. Very detailed and smooth with emphasis on mid range. Voice and instruments sounds awesome. It produces sound exactly to my taste. The only thing I wish it is better is the ability to "disappear". I dont know how to achieve it but there are several occasions where I dont know where my cheap HK is playing from, but for the Triangles, I always know exactly the location of the speakers. 

**2. Elac UB5.2:** 

**- Fit and finish:** It is solid. Better than the Triangle in this regard. It is smaller but weight the same as the Triangle I think. The look is plain and it looks and feels a bit cheaper than the Triangle.

**- Low:** Better than the Triangle. Bass is tighter and has more energy to it. I played some songs with super fast bass and the Triangle is kinda struggling but its totally fine on these. I'm kinda surprise as the woofer is smaller on the Elac

**- Mid:** A bit more recessed compared to the Triangle. I think it has tiny bit more detail than the Triangle (or maybe thats my imagination). The sound however is not as smooth and round as the Triangle, especially the vocals. 

**- High:** Again, a bit more recessed. But the detail is really good. Nothing to complain here.

Overall, the Elac is better in some areas and not as good in others compared to the Triangle. They have very similar sound signature though. I think the Triangle sounds more coherent and fit a bit better to my taste. Maybe the Elac needs more playtime or a better amp idk but in the few hours I have it, sometimes, I feel the sound was confusing. The Triangle is consistently good. My GF who knows nothing about hifi also prefers the sound of the Triangles.

To add on the difference in sound, I much prefer the look of the Triangle. So the Triangle stays, Elac goes back. I'm sure many others will be more happy with the Elac tho. 

Cheers.

I think speakers are snake oil.  I got 3 dollar speakers that sound as good if not better than my Wharfedale Diamond 225's or my Infinity R162's.  It is all about lots of good clean power and your shit speakers will sound better than you think. 

my 3 dollar speakers sound fantastic driven with >125wpc RMS...with the volume set low enough not to blow the speakers.

Elac Uni-fi UB5.2 vs Triangle BR-03 mini review

Upgraded to this from the JBL Charge 4 because the JBL distorted at high volumes, especially with bass heavy music like TOOL or Whitechapel. Took it to work which is semi-outdoor and it lasted about two hours at 80% volume before the battery warning light came on. I attribute this to the very cold weather it's currently in, but I was able to plug it in, so all is well. One thing that irks me about this unit is that there doesn't appear to be a way to tell how much battery is left

. However, the sound quality is the best I've ever heard from a bluetooth speaker, and I take sound VERY seriously. Saving up for another one, just for the stereo effect. Edit: A few weeks later, and the weather has warmed up

 Most devices will show a battery meyer in the bluetooth settings of my phone, but not this one, so there's that... However, the sound quality is the best I've ever heard from a bluetooth speaker, and I take sound VERY seriously

Great sound, battery could be better.

Onyx Studio 6 is an all rounder of the sorts. Hi-fi ish warm non fatiguing sound signature, good non muddy sound at low volumes, enough loudness and bass to power a party, battery life of 4-5 hours, priced under 200$, portable at 3kg weight, looks little premium over other speakers but might be delicate as compared to others.

Charge 5 and Revolve+ are good speakers from the above list for low volume listening(both have excellent dynamic bass adjustment and clarity for low volumes) but might not suffice for a party. xtreme3/xb43 would be good for small party but would lack in low volume listening. xtreme 3 is clear-ish at low volumes but there is no dynamic bass adjustment so the music might sound hollow(opposite of full sounding), no experience with xb43 at low volumes.

HK go play is say 20-25% more clear and has an airier soundstage than OS6, 10-15% less bass than OS6, but it has battery issues over long term usage.

I hope not muddled, but what do you guys think? 

I’m hoping to find a speaker that can do it all: be big enough for a small party, but still sound great and be not fatiguing on the ears at very low volumes to write or study to. Will the Xtreme 3 do this for me, or is there a better speaker that comes to mind and why?

Options I’m considering are:
- JBL Xtreme 3/Charge 5
- Sony XB-43
- Bose Revolve+ II

Thank you

How does the JBL Xtreme 3 sound at very low volumes?

 The Xtreme 2 sounded exceptionally bright, which might be good for casual music listeners who don’t give much attention to music, but for me, it was a deal breaker.  The battery life is rated at 8 hours. I personally haven’t managed to expend the battery on a full charge yet, so I cannot attest to this rating. While the JBL Xtreme 2 is rated at 15 hours (significantly better), I feel as though 8 hours is enough to get you through the day

While the JBL Xtreme 2 is rated at 15 hours (significantly better), I feel as though 8 hours is enough to get you through the day. Although, I must admit, it would be nice if the battery life was better.

This speaker has superb sound quality for the price. The speaker is a little heavy on the bass, but this is preferable for an outdoor setting, since most bass is lost to the wind. For this reason, the speaker sounds well balanced in an outdoor environment.  The speaker has already received many compliments from strangers who appreciate its design

Consider this speaker over the JBL Xtreme 2

Hi, I was originally going to buy Q950a but I found some posts that say it sounds bad if a subwoofer is disabled....

I can't use a subwoofer because I live in an apartment.

Do you guys know any soundbar that sounds good even without a subwoofer?

Soundbar without a subwoofer?

Didn't give 5 stars because this model likes to disconnect from Bluetooth if the volume is too low. It also (occasionally) disconnects if you switch from music to a different streaming platform but rare

Beautiful sound
