Harman Kardon is well known for its high-end audio products that are designed to look and sound perfect
And the Aura is no different in that regard. While it may divide opinion on its looks
There's no doubt that the Aura is a finely engineered speaker system
Comprising of a see-through polycarbonate shell and a slick matte-finished bottom which encloses its six high- and mid-range drivers

The editors didn't like
Lacks detail and dynamics of rivals
Loose bass
No dedicated remote
App lacks features
Occasional erratic volume behaviour after turning on
Always seeking Wi-Fi network can interrupt Bluetooth connection
Design won't suit all
For its strange looks and tip-top sound
You'll be forking out quite the premium for the Aura
£350 in fact
Which puts it on the high-end spectrum of home wireless speakers. For that
You do get fantastic sound and a wealth of connectivity options too - but its looks might not be for everyone. We've also been spoiled by plenty of speaker systems that pack in battery packs to wheel around for part
Abstract: This futuristic (in a fashionably retro way) wireless stereo speaker from the same Harman Kardon – apparently still busy in audio in Connecticut, if not quite a buzz brand any more – certainly channels that transparent polycarbonate 2001 look, but it's fa...

Space-age looks make for equally epic sound, and the Harman Kardon Aura delivers on both fronts, making it a very attractive speaker system for your home. It'll surely be a conversation starter, but its price and lack of decent buttons might not be som...

Had this test been all about looks, this speaker would have bagged five stars – no problem.A stylish showpiece for any room, it's sure to catch a few eyes, turn a few heads and steal a few hearts.Unfortunately for the Aura we're not that shallow. And when...

Space-age design looks great, excellent sound quality at all volumes, loud output warm bass sits perfectly in the mix, great separation, omni-directional output produces all-encompassing sound
Occasional erratic volume behaviour after turning on, always seeking Wi-Fi network can interrupt Bluetooth connection, design won't suit all
Space-age looks deliver a sound that's grounded in the here and now: the Harman Kardon Aura is an immensely capable wireless home speaker, whatever genre you throw at it. In terms of audio quality this is a full-marks product. The only reason it do...
This speaker has a simple setup and is ready to use right out of the box
The sound quality wasn't as clear as other speakers in our review
The Harman Kardon Aura is a sleek wireless speaker that produces strong bass. We weren't partial to listening to acoustic or jazz music on this speaker, as it doesn't have the treble clarity to make that type of music sound crisp. It mostly shined during...
The speaker is well designed and is capable of producing loud sound, punchier bass and will surely impress music lovers.Harman Kardon Aura is a wireless one piece speaker system that delivers rich and clear sound. It has stunning looks that will definite...
If you want a sharp speaker with killer looks, Harman Kardon doesn't disappoint. Place it in your living room and no one will ever miss it. In terms of functionality, it does kill it too. What it lacks is that in depth clarity pertaining to a few tracks w...
Great design, Minimal footprint for a single enclosure speaker, Room filling sound, Great connectivity options
You don't get extreme precision or detail
The speaker is quite a sight to behold and quite the conversation starter. If these factors and the connectivity options appeal to you what you get is a nice sounding speaker thrown in. Besides if you buy it straight from the company you get the Aura for...
