Harman Kardon SoundSticks Wireless

A model that has stood the test of time

The original SoundSticks model was created back in 1999 and turned out to be incredibly successful in terms of sales. Therefore, years later, Harman Kardon did not reinvent the wheel, but simply updated the model by adding Bluetooth support to it.

Are these speakers or an alien artifact?

When you first look at SoundSticks Wireless, you get the impression that it was designed in some kind of scientific laboratory. Acoustics is made of transparent plastic and has an unusual, memorable shape. The subwoofer looks like an aquarium, and two satellites are elongated and rise above the table on rubber expanders. When the system is plugged in, a backlight lights up inside the subwoofer, which works regardless of whether the acoustics are paired with any device or not. It looks very cool.

Sound quality matches appearance

Looking at the SoundSticks Wireless for the first time, it seems that this is just a beautiful accessory, but when you connect them, it becomes clear why this model has been in demand for more than a decade. The acoustics sound good, the volume and quality are felt. The satellites have great mids and highs, and the sub gives out deep and juicy bass. As for the volume, there is an extremely large amount of it to sound the room, so you don’t have to turn it up to the maximum when listening. Moreover, the total power of the system is standard for the class of 40 watts.

For those who do not need simple acoustics

In fairness, we note that SoundSticks Wireless has some disadvantages. The fact is that at maximum volume the subwoofer vibrates decently and if there is a lot of bass in the sound track, then the objects on the table literally start to dance. In cases where the subwoofer is really powerful, it is placed under the table, but in the case of the SoundSticks Wireless, you don’t really want to hide such beauty under the table.

In general, thanks to its "cosmic" design, adequate price and cool sound, Harman Kardon SoundSticks Wireless will appeal to people who want not just an audio system, but a real work of art. Indeed, due to their unusual design, the speakers will look cool in 2019 and 2029.
