Volume is the quantity of three-dimensional space taken up by the product's body or, in simpler terms, the space the product occupies. Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 4 takes up 11,528.66cm³, it is a good thing to know the space that the speaker occupies just so as to ensure that it will fit with ease into the available space next to your other gadgets. Sony SRS XV900's volume is 158,391.2cm³ meaning it
occupies more space than the Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 4 by cm³
We prefer a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to move with.
A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products. Sony SRS XV900, at 2,660g
is heavier than the Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 4 by g. Most of the time a genuine quality system is a little bit heavier than average quality products though If you want to change the position of the soundbar often, then you should try to purchase a lighter soundbar.
This represents the vertical dimension of a device, Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 4 has a height of 260mm. The Sony SRS XV900, at 880mm
is longer in height than the Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 4 by 620mm
The width represents the horizontal dimension of a device, Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 4 has a width of 278mm. Sony SRS XV900, at 439mm
is wider than the Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 4 with a difference 161mm
The thickness (or depth) of Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 4 is 159.5mm, to know the thickness of the speaker you divide its volume(space occupied) by the surface area( length by width)
Sony SRS XV900 has a thickness of 410mm,
meaning that it is thicker than the Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 4 by 250.5mm
A subwoofer is a speaker that delivers lower frequencies in the range of 20 -200Hz, the low frequencies are produced by instruments such as pipe organs, bass guitars, even the kick drums, and any explosive sound effects say in a movie.
Devices that have a subwoofer inbuilt give a richer bass sound when listening to bass-heavy music like hip hop. Both the Sony SRS XV900 and Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 4 have a subwoofer
Bigger subwoofers are capable of producing deeper bass sounds. Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 4 has a 75 mm subwoofer
Sony SRS XV900 has a 120 mm subwoofer
Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 4 has stereo speakers, what this means is that Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 4's speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, its size dictates the loudness of the headphone. Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 4 driver unit is 20mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful and can produce better bass. A speaker driver is an individual transducer that converts electrical energy to sound waves.
Drivers come in different sizes and modes, but generally, you'll find three types: tweeter driver, which handles the high-frequency treble range (above 2,000 Hz), and midrange driver: which handles the midrange frequencies (200 Hz to 2,000 Hz). Woofer driver: handles the low-frequency bass range (below 200 Hz).
Based on the frequencies they handle more drivers may result in better sound quality, Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 4 has 2 only. A passive radiator is a type of driver in speakers that can get extra power and resonance from a speaker system, usually used in smaller speaker systems. This radiator is called passive because it is not powered by electricity but by air pressure found in speaker cones.
The sound vibrations produced by a passive radiator depend on its mass and the size of its enclosure. It is usually used in combination with a woofer to produce deep, resonant tones that would normally be produced by speakers in large boxes powered by AC. The signal-to-noise ratio is a measure that compares the meaningful sound a speaker produces to the level of noise produced by internal components of that speaker, the higher the number the less perceived noise.
Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 4 has an audio signal level of 80 dB higher than the level of noise. The audio output power of a device is based on the number of speakers and their power in watts Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 4 has 4 x 15W, this is the amount of power the speakers can be loaded with "comfortably".
A higher audio output power results in louder, clearer sounds though this is not the sole factor determining the device's loudness. To better understand how loud any speaker can get, there are other aspects to look at such as sensitivity, sound pressure, etc.
Low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio device reproduces low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 4's lowest frequency is at 50Hz, the lower the low-frequency response, the stronger and juicier the bass. Sony SRS XV900's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 4 got a juicier bass than the Sony SRS XV900
High frequency response measures if and how well an audio device reproduces high audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on the way through.
Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 4's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, the higher the high-frequency response, the clearer and crispier the treble. Sony SRS XV900's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal treble
Your speaker's battery life will reduce over time while in use, the battery life is given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often. Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 4's battery life is 8 hours
Sony SRS XV900's battery life is 25 hours.
Each time you recharge your device, it gets a little less listening time. The effect is barely noticeable at first. But over a few years, you may find that your speaker, no longer plays for long like it used to.
It takes 5 hours to fully charge the Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 4's battery. It is recommended to fully charge the battery before using it for the first time or when they have been unused for extended periods. Sony SRS XV900 takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the battery
Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 4 has a battery level indicator, an indicator shows you when the device has a low battery.
The battery indicator lights show the charging status of your speaker. Sony SRS XV900 too has a battery level indicator, charging indicators allow you to determine the charging state of your speaker, whether fully charged, or the battery is running low. Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 4 support multipoint, which allows you to link to more Bluetooth devices and switch between them.
For example, you can easily switch calls from one device to another without having to manually disconnect and reconnect. The Sony SRS XV900 support multipoint count. Bluetooth multipoint would come in handy because you can be on one call without missing notifications coming from another device.
An auxiliary input allows you to play other audio sources by connecting them through a simple audio connection like a 3.5mm jack
Being an industry-standard audio plug, a standard 3.5mm male connector is suitable for use with all MP3 players and computer sound cards. This means that it is commonly used in stereo headphones to your phone or connecting your phone to an external amplifier, sound bars, your car radio, etc. Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 4 has this connector giving it a wider range of connectivity with most of the sound devices out there.
All plugs have at least a tip and sleeve with the number of rings that stand as a differentiating factor. Sony SRS XV900 too has this kind of connector
Bluetooth is a wireless technology that allows you to easily transfer data between different devices, such as smartphones, tablets, and computers. Both the Sony SRS XV900 and the Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 4 have Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data transfers between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.
Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 4 has a v4.2
Sony SRS XV900 has a Bluetooth version of v5.2. Newer versions provide faster data transfers. Bluetooth is a short-range wireless technology standard that is used for exchanging data between fixed and mobile devices over short distances.
The Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 4 can connect at a 10meters distance via Bluetooth or infrared to another device. The Sony SRS XV900 can connect at a 30meters distance via Bluetooth
With more USB ports, you are able to connect more devices, like those you save your music on, Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 4 has 1 only
