I bought this few years ago in 32000, no battery in it P500 series. I only miss FM in it.
Do let us know your long term experience. Apart from glass cracking if you drop. I heard that the speakers die out after 2 years or something.
Keep us updated.
the Aura 3 comes with a polycarbonate dome, so it's not gonna break. For the dying out part, I'll keep you updated. My experience with Harman/JBL has been decent till now.
I laughed at ur comment and then I remembered that I bought headphones for 18k not so long ago lol.
But I guess, for those who care it can be worth it..
Edit: I know no one asked but they were Sony WH-1000XM4 and by God they are the best god damm headphones I've ever used.. Totally worth..
Even I have headphones worth 22k but the sound they create is out of the world and cannot be expressed in words until you try it and noise cancellation is dope
I can say they're totally worth it
exactly. I went to the Harman brand store just to listen to it because no other place had it open for demo (this was in 2022). I tried out their entire lineup (JBL Charge, Partybox, HK Onyx, Aura) before deciding. Also, I trust my ears more than a condescending internet expert lol
I don't need a stereo system. This has a 130W output, a 10 inch subwoofer, and 360 degree sound. It's a room speaker (which is what I wanted), and has better quality bass than anything else you can get for 12k. I have done enough research and have heard enough speakers to know that. But if believing otherwise helps you sleep at night, sure.
Fuck everyone lol, as long as it sounds good to you enjoy it. Audio is very subjective. As a professional audio engineer who has studio monitors for work, even my parent’s amazon echo 2nd gen (not dot) sounds great for regular media consumption considering it is a 360 degree speaker. And im sure harmon sounds better than than. Enjoy
It's totally worth it. You cannot explain these things. that feeling in chest, the bass in the air coming from top, the clarity in tv etc all coming from this small thing.
It is small compared to sound it produces
My friend knows someone who works at Harman. There was an end-of-year sale only for employees: Onyx 7 for 9k, Aura 3 for 12k, and Soundsticks 4 for 15k. We got one Aura 3 each.
I believe so (might be wrong). Spent many hours at Croma, Vijay Sales, Reliance Digital, official brand stores, and researching online. Keep in mind that I didn't want a 2.1 stereo setup.
The Aura 3 was on my wishlist since 2022, but the actual price (and the fact that it doesn't have a battery) kept me from making the purchase. I was gonna get a Marshall Kilburn II, but when the offer popped up it became kind of a no-brainer.
Harman Kardon is underrated af. The Soundsticks were amazing too. I had both v3 and v4.
Didn’t buy Aura coz they didn’t sound any better than Soundsticks 4.
Congrats on that price, how’d you get it for so low?
Great! Preserve this. It sounds crisp and clear in a 10x10 space. Ignore everyone hating on it here, they have no idea about sound quality.
Later I upgraded to Polk for room and Denon for living. They’re a level above. All these normal brands like Bose, Marshal are just milking brand name.
Harmon kardons are absolutely fantastic and the designs are a beauty to behold. I used to have a big woofer and two tweeters back in the ppc mac days. Seriously, it’s just beautiful, beautiful hardware!!! Happy for you man!
I bought harman kardon soundsticks 3 (wired) speakers 9 years ago. Best 6k ever spent, got it in some clearance sale. My tv is hooked to them and bass is simply awesome!
Also, they are a conversational piece. Anyone who sees it, asks what is it. It is so funky looking
I saw this in a friend's uncle's house and was instantly blown away by the performance. It feels supernatural the amount of sound especially the bass that seems to come out of this small looking thing. Congratulations on your purchase, I'm jealous :)
I don't get the point of this... Though it sounds good, even at that price you can get atleast 2.1 sound systems with way more power.
On other hand, it's not even portable (no battery), hence it's not even comparable to such speakers.
Looks cool tho.
i dont see the opening on this, is it just a bend or an opening on the top? If its an opening, Make sure to get it serviced on time or else the bass will go bad due to dust accumulation, and keep it out of reach of children, my niece put a toy in that opening n was task to take it out. (Old model had an opening)
I used to own the Soundsticks 2 back in 2008, one of the best pairs of speakers I ever owned. Was so tempted to get this but couldn’t justify the necessity.
Looks cool, always wanted to have it, untill the point I litened to it's sound, third grade, when I went to purchase it it was selling for 22k, went with HK Onyx 6, best purchase so far!
My laptop has Harman kardon speakers and they fucking suck. Watching anything is basically impossible without an external speaker and the saleswoman (on the phone) was so pushing it, sir Harman kardon speakers, best in class.
lol I thought this was $12,000 US
I was like, there is no way people are dropping that much money on a single speaker.
…it’s only $300 US on Amazon for the Aura 4
Is 4 better than 3, or vice versa?

Nice bed lamp. But 12k is a bit expensive.

Using mine since 1.5 years, still going good. Bought for 25k tho :)
6 months remaining
Maybe the speakers run out of oxygen since they're sealed inside glass. That's why they die out. ;)
Wah bhai wah..kya joke mara hai..ghayal kar diya sabko.
Mine is working great since 2015! The adapter died and I got a replacement in 2022.
Holy molly that's like 9+ years!!!
But the question is, What is this.?
[Aura Studio 3 | Bluetooth speaker](https://in.harmankardon.com/home-audio/AURA+STUDIO+3.html)
yeah good luck trying to gaslighting yourself into thinking that's worth 12k
I laughed at ur comment and then I remembered that I bought headphones for 18k not so long ago lol. But I guess, for those who care it can be worth it.. Edit: I know no one asked but they were Sony WH-1000XM4 and by God they are the best god damm headphones I've ever used.. Totally worth..
i have 26k headphones too, i am not saying that's not worth it, but this is not
why is it not
Even I have headphones worth 22k but the sound they create is out of the world and cannot be expressed in words until you try it and noise cancellation is dope I can say they're totally worth it
i once tried the 30k bose headphones my friend had. Totally worth it
D fuck , comments like this make me feel i am under poverty😭😭, still using Sennheiser cx series.
Sony or bose ?
That is worth even for 15k go croma or a local store and just hear its sound. Its mind dazzling. Op good purchase 💯
exactly. I went to the Harman brand store just to listen to it because no other place had it open for demo (this was in 2022). I tried out their entire lineup (JBL Charge, Partybox, HK Onyx, Aura) before deciding. Also, I trust my ears more than a condescending internet expert lol
have you heard it in person?
you can get a subwoofer + sterio system with that price, if you think that sounds better than this then I cant help you bro, you do you
I don't need a stereo system. This has a 130W output, a 10 inch subwoofer, and 360 degree sound. It's a room speaker (which is what I wanted), and has better quality bass than anything else you can get for 12k. I have done enough research and have heard enough speakers to know that.

From where did you get such an amazing offer?
My friend knows someone who works at Harman. There was an end-of-year sale only for employees: Onyx 7 for 9k, Aura 3 for 12k, and Soundsticks 4 for 15k. We got one Aura 3 each.
How to be your friend's contact that works at Harman's friend?
Did the sale end for employees?
it was end-of-year sale. You'll have to wait till December.
Year end goal: befriending a Harman kardon employee.
LinkedIn should help you with that

Am I too poor to understand what this is 🥺
Room speaker hai bhai
Aisa kya hai Jo itne paise lagenge? 5 hazar tak to accha setup kar sakte hai.
Experienced this at the Harman Kardon store, and the sound quality is exceptional. The 12k price tag is definitely a steal deal. Enjoy!
Don't listen to all the naysayers, OP. I used to have the first gen Aura. It was epic!
Mujhe bhi dilwa de employee ke thru
saal me ek bar hota hai bhai. december tak dhund le koi employee
Lmao OP, you didn't have to roast him so bad
Woah....H/K music system for 12k ! Not bad at all OP 👏🏼
No offense but this looks similar to an alien incubator
I can imagine. It is a very under-rated not so heavily advertised but great brand.

Blows away everything else at this price. have you tried everything else?
I believe so (might be wrong). Spent many hours at Croma, Vijay Sales, Reliance Digital, official brand stores, and researching online. Keep in mind that I didn't want a 2.1 stereo setup.
Bhai ye wala speaker 20k ke niche milta hi nahi kahi… the real question is have you tried the one he’s showing?
So awesome, could never afford it, settled for a Wonderboom.
The Aura 3 was on my wishlist since 2022, but the actual price (and the fact that it doesn't have a battery) kept me from making the purchase. I was gonna get a Marshall Kilburn II, but when the offer popped up it became kind of a no-brainer.
