A stunning looking speaker, but one that doesn't have the ‘wow' sound or usability to boot
Creative design ; well built ; Tonally balanced ; Room-filling sound
Lacks detail and dynamics of rivals ; Loose bass ; No dedicated remote ; App lacks features
Had this test been all about looks, this speaker would have bagged five stars – no problem.

The Harman Kardon Aura may look like The Jetson's spaceship has collided with a ultra-modern kitchen blender but this quirky design housing is actually a wireless home speaker. Space-age looks deliver a sound that's grounded in the here and now: the...
Space-age design looks great, excellent sound quality at all volumes, loud output warm bass sits perfectly in the mix, great separation, omni-directional output produces all-encompassing sound
Occasional erratic volume behaviour after turning on, always seeking Wi-Fi network can interrupt Bluetooth connection, design won't suit all
Space-age looks deliver a sound that's grounded in the here and now: the Harman Kardon Aura is an immensely capable wireless home speaker, whatever genre you throw at it.

A futuristic wireless stereo speaker that packs an unexpected punch

Meet the Karman Kardon Aura, a speaker system that looks more like a NASA-designed deep-fat fryer than a high-end audio product, but we can assure you it's very much the latter. Harman Kardon is known for its tip-top sound quality and extravagant...
Space-age looks make for equally epic sound, and the Harman Kardon Aura delivers on both fronts, making it a very attractive speaker system for your home. It'll surely be a conversation starter, but its price and lack of decent buttons might not be...

An interesting design is just the start; this thing can produce sound that will turn your cap back
Interesting design ; Easy to use ; Very good overall sound quality ; Impressive low-frequency response
Bass tended to be too strong for trance ; Rock could've use more mid-range

The Harman Kardon Aura Studio 4 is a visually striking speaker that delivers substantial rumble, but underwhelming Bluetooth connectivity and a lack of features limit its appeal.
Expert review by : Will Greenwald (pcmag.com)
The Harman Kardon Aura is a great-looking, great-sounding, one-piece wireless speaker system.
Expert review by : Siddharth Parwatay (digit.in)
It's refreshing when beauty isn't just skin deep
Great design ; Minimal footprint for a single enclosure speaker ; Room filling sound ; Great connectivity options
You don't get extreme precision or detail
The speaker is quite a sight to behold and quite the conversation starter. If these factors and the connectivity options appeal to you what you get is a nice sounding speaker thrown in. Besides if you buy it straight from the company you get the Aura...

A cylindrical dome shaped powerful standalone speaker that delivers excellent sound
Expert review by (gadgets.ndtv.com)
The box price of the Harman Kardon Aura is Rs. 34,990 but it is selling for a discount of Rs. 5,000 on Harman's official website. We don't think its performance warrants even that price. The
