Being a company that promises to craft the ultimate entertainment experience that focuses on the needs of listeners, Harman Kardon has been around long enough to be able to offer stratospheric standards to audio listeners looking to enjoy stunning quality music and sound from a vast array of sources -that may range from picky audiophile to DVD players-on-the-go. After the release of Harman Kardon SoundSticks II speakers and subwoofer system, which was praised for its stunning design and thus was included into New York City's Museum of Modern Art (MoMA)'s permanent collection, Harman Kardon released Harman Kardon Soundsticks III, which still carries the line's pop-culture style and sophisticated design.
As an improvement from the previous model, the Soundsticks III carries three-piece, 2.1-channel multimedia sound system that would bring you new level of experience in listening to music, movies and games to your home. Offering exceptional sound clarity, enhanced color scheme and minimum wiring, the Soundsticks III's well-designed speaker and subwoofer system would wows any listeners with its powerful performance. Eight full-range transducers, 40-watts dazzling amplification and down-firing powered subwoofer, all promise to reduce distortion and presents consistent performance. Furthermore, the flared port in the subwoofer reduces port noise in times of high-volume passages. Hence, no need to worry about room variables or port noises ruining your listening experience.
The intuitive touch controls that respond to gentle fingertip touch offer ease-of-use to increase/decrease or mute volume. Controlling the angle of your satellite speakers are as easy as A-B-C, as you could bend the angle from low angle into high angle in order to fit the desired position. Unlike other manufacturers that prefer to use cheap audio cables that could compromise the appearance, quality and performance of their audio products, the Harman Kardon Soundsticks III comes with premium audio cables that are located just underneath the transparent speaker covers. The audio cables are kept in place with black connection beads for enhanced visual appeal and sound quality. Thus, you can be sure that the audio would always travel from source to speaker system without outside interference.
Blow the entire room with eight full-range transducers
The Harman Kardon brand has a well-supplied history of engineering sound with immensely great results. The Harman Kardon Soundsticks III system is no different. Powered by means of a total of 20-watts, eight full-range transducers (four in every speaker) sensationally fill your room with brilliant sound, while increasing power handling and audio output. With less distortion and excelling sound quality, SoundSticks III speakers guarantee that you'll hear music or video exactly the way the composer intended it to be heard.
Down-firing subwoofer with volume control
For a true audiophile listening experience, the Harman Kardon Soundsticks III system also features a six-inch down-firing subwoofer with volume control that is powered by a 20-watt amplifier. By firing sound down instead of at surrounding walls, your subwoofer makes your system less susceptible to adverse room variables - allowing you a consistent performance. The subwoofer furthermore has a flared port that reduces port noise during high-volume passages. This innovation helps you adjust sound levels based on your room's specifications as well as your own listening preferences.
Connect to essentially any media device
Further than its excellent good looks, the SoundSticks system offers excellent compatibility with other audio components. Thanks to its 3.5mm stereo audio connection, the Harman Kardon Soundsticks III speakers can be used with MP3 players, computers and almost anything with stereo line-level outputs. By offering you this user-friendly advantage, Harman Kardon Soundsticks III becomes a smart addition to your desktop, bookshelf or entertainment center, keeping your life simple with the highest number of connection options - and a bare minimum of wiring.

A 6-inch, 20-watt downward-firing powered subwoofer. Eight 1-inch full-range transducers. Plug-and-play compatibility with virtually any multimedia device. And stunning industrial design that perfectly matches the clarity of the sound. The Harman Kardon SoundSticks III desktop sound system brings a new level of excitement to music, games and movies with a minimum of wiring — and looks spectacular doing it.
Unboxin of harman kardon sound sticks
These are my Harman/Kardon Soundsticks II, I got them today 6th May 2010 and I have only used them for about 3 hours and they are AMAZING! They cost £100 and I got mine from Amazon.co.uk Anyone who likes bass, or dubstep etc, should definatly get these. They are great value and look the shizz! I couldnt max my bass out because it was like 10pm and people were sleeping, but ill try and get another video up with the subwoofer maxing it out ;D I did however get them for free.

They say too much of something is bad enough. Well, with the numerous choices for speakers and sound system products available in the market today, it just makes the decision-making process a bit extra difficult. Too many options to compare, features to go over, reviews and critiques to browse through, price ranges to study, etc. It does not help either when waves of trend-based products are regularly being launched. What's more is if these products' standards hold true after the fad ends. One thing is for sure though; the Harman Kardon SoundSticks II will surely meet your expectations. Many owners of this product swear their lives to it, as it never seems to disappoint.
Interested buyers will be first struck by its cool and sleek design. It consists of two 10-watt, thin, transparent column speakers and a 20-watt, see-through subwoofer. The lines are clean and even the internal wires are well-organized and neat making the Harman Kardon SoundSticks II an extremely attractive set of speakers.
The controls on this 3-piece speaker system is touch-sensitive, allowing you to adjust volume levels, treble controls, and subwoofer intensity easily. No need for knobs or having to push down on buttons several times; a single push and the length of that determines the adjustment. Also, the mute function recalls the last volume setting made. It has a mini stereo jack connection that is compatible with practically any multimedia device. Many users have pointed out though that the audio controls may seem slightly cumbersome as there are no visual references to indicate volume levels and that a headphone jack would have been convenient. However, the Harman Kardon SoundSticks II makes up for its shortcomings.
The best part is its top-quality sound production. The subwoofer provides extremely rich, deep, and outstanding low pitched or bass sounds. Its stereo capacity is the next best thing to a complete surround sound system as it brings music, game sound effects, and movie audio to life. As much as it would have been extremely opportune for it to be portable, these speakers weren't designed for such a purpose. Besides, why risk them being stolen or scratched?
Another unboxing... By far the best speakers I've ever owned...especially in this prie range...
Hey all! In this video I will be doing an unboxing of Harman Kardon's Soundsticks II. Their unique design is what attracts many people to buy them, including me :) I like how they made it transparent, it can be a decorative item AND a very powerful speaker! Also, the Blue LED lights up when turned on, which is a very nice touch. One of the two satellites has a touch volume control, where you simply touch the + or - button to change the volume. I bought this for $1500 HKD in the Apple Premium Reseller DG Lifestyle at Sha Tin New Town Plaza, 6th floor. For people in Hong Kong, you can simply go to any DG store and they will definitely have it in stock. Otherwise, you may checkout some electronics store, where I believe they might have them. Also, you can buy this at Hong Kong International Airport, but sells for a bit higher price, 1680+ HKD. Alternatively(for people outside HK), you can simply visit the Apple Store, eBay, or Amazon where they will definitely have, or where Amazon sells for a discount! As for the review, they will be up next week. *I ran into a lot of trouble while uploading this video, so it made the whole schedule delay... Stay Tuned! ~TMT
