harman kardon SoundSticks II

Pros: Gorgeous appearance, nice sound

Cons: Terrible product support, incompatible with USB 2.0, broke

The Bottom Line: Someone at Harman Kardon should get these up the bottom line.

Review: Look at the picture of these speakers. Just look at them. For me, it was love at first sight. The simplicity of the design, the perfectly clear acrylic, the glowing subwoofer. A friend used them with his old iMac, and the sound, to my novice ear,...

Pros: Excellent sound, attractive and distinctive design

Cons: No headphone or aux line-in jacks, mids and highs slightly less clear than Promedias.

The Bottom Line: Where sound and sight meets.

Review: After owning (and still using) 2 pairs of Klipsch Promedia 2.1s for almost 3 years, I wanted to see if there are any speakers out there that might rival the old Klipschs...

Pros: Look as great as they sound

Cons: headphone jack a little noisy

The Bottom Line: good sound at a good price

Review: I was growing really tired of my stock sound of the pair of desktop speakers I had on my desk. I found myself listening more and more to online music and I wanted to hear it better. My home stereo rarely gets turned on, unless I watch a movie and...

Pros: Great sound quality

Cons: None

The Bottom Line: Great speakers with enough bass and loudness for me

Review: These speakers have excellent sound quality for the price of the unit. I love the unique design and sound quality of these speakers. I listen to almost any type of music, and these speakers do a great job of reproducing them all. They have good...

Pros: Very good sound. Very unique design. I like the blue light in the sub.

Cons: Knob to control the bass is on the back of the sub.

Review: It looks great and sounds great. I have had these speakers for almost a year now, and I love them. I have no complaints with the sound. These produce a lot of sound and are great for the average person. They are exactly what I would expect for the...

Pros: Sleek design. Great sound. Easy set-up.

Cons: Requires manual switching between music source (e.g., MP3 or CD, not both).

The Bottom Line: I recommend these speakers to anyone looking for an attractive and easy to use speaker system for their MP3 player, stereo or computer.

Review: I was looking for an attractive yet easy to set up pair of speakers for my living room. I have a CD player and an MP3 player and I didn't want to pay for more than I needed for my relatively small room (300 sq feet). I saw these very cool...

Pros: Fantastic, Brilliant, Stunningly Clear and Crisp sound. Unique style.

Cons: The speaker mounted volume control is a touch switch with no tactile feedback

The Bottom Line: Quirky style, inconvenient controls and absolutely fantastic sound make these speakers MEMORABLE.

Review: The Harman Kardon Soundsticks II are the best sounding speakers I've ever had in my house. The sound is brilliant, clear and crisp with plenty of punch from the 20W subwoofer, making for the best-balanced sound I've experienced at home.

Pros: They look sharp.

Cons: Harsh highs.

Review: I just opened my new Soundsticks II system and am so very disappointed. They sound great with deep bass-intense music, like old R&B, but sound terrible for any music with significant sound in the higher end of frequency spectrum (nearly every...

Pros: Looks, great bass and good speakers.

Cons: Built from plastic and may break if abused.

Review: Games, movies , music you name it, these speakers will make the most of it. I had a lot of computer speakers in the past but these speaker are the best I have ever heard.
The bass has punch and act like a pro when the going gets tough (complex...

Pros: Nice design

Cons: Bad in sound, Heavy, not portable.

Review: I bought this speaker system for my Computer. It looks just nice in design, especially the subwoofer. The music (CD) is OK.... The movie sound (DVD) is Better....
It's very hard to lower or increase the volume because the button cannot sense my...
