Review: Harman Kardon Soundsticks II
The Harman Kardon Soundsticks II are an incredible set of speakers, coupling power and clarity with a stylish design. Minutes from opening the box you will have thumping bass pouring out of these speakers. They will fill up a room and make it feel like you are immersed in the music. The two 10 watt speakers can be angled up or down so that the sound can be perfectly manipulated to provide you with the best listening experience. On top of that, the booming 20 watt subwoofer can be turned up enough to make your floor shake, easily reaching those frequencies you never thought existed. The volume control buttons on the tweeters work on contact, and muting them is as simple as touching both at the same time. These Soundsticks not only sound great, but they also look super stylish. The subwoofer looks like a futuristic spaceship, and when its plugged in, a small blue LED glows brilliantly in the dark. The speakers look like they are made of glass, and aren’t so large that they will dominate your workspace, yet they look stunning next to any display. The only downside to these speakers is that there is no volume level display to show you how much more you can pump up the sound, but this is easily overcome by keeping your speaker volume level and just adjusting the volume on your computer.
I was thoroughly pleased with my experience with the Harman Kardon Soundsticks II, and anyone looking for some quality computer speakers that provide power without compensating for style should consider these first.
