Sony SRS XV900, at 880mm is longer in height than the Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 6 by 596mm This represents the horizontal dimension of a device, Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 6 has a width of 291mm. The Sony SRS XV900, at 439mm is wider than the Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 6 with a difference 148mm The thickness (or depth) of Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 6 is 128mm, 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 6 with a difference 282mm The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, its size dictates the loudness of the headphone.
Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 6 driver unit is 120mm 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 6 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 6 has an audio signal level of 80 dB higher than the level of noise.
Low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component reproduces low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 6'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 means that Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 6 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 changes to the signal on the way through.
Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 6'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 means 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.
