Denon Home 150 has a thickness of 120mm,
meaning that it is less thicker than the Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 7 with a difference -39.5mm
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 Denon Home 150 and Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 7 have a subwoofer
Bigger subwoofers are capable of producing deeper bass sounds. Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 7 has a 120 mm subwoofer
Denon Home 150 has a 89 mm subwoofer
Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 7 has stereo speakers, what this means is that Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 7's speakers deliver sound from separate 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 7 driver unit is 25mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful and can produce better bass.
Denon Home 150 driver unit is 25mm in diameter,
making both Denon Home 150, and Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 7 similar in how loud their sound gets
, many people have a misconception that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty reproducing high frequencies so yes, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better sound.
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 7 has 3 only.
Denon Home 150 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 7 has an audio signal level of 80 dB higher than the level of noise.
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 7's battery life is 8 hours
