I was gifted a JBL Flip 6 18 months ago. It now has a charging port fault, something I've learnt is a common fault with these speakers. Harman isn't interested in repairing or replacing what is clearly a defective product. Since I haven't a receipt, they can legally brush me off, despite having the original box with a copyright date on it. I will not buy one of their products, they don't stand by them.

Ruined the joy of listening to music. How depressing.

I have had the total misfortune of owning an Arcam streamer for 4 years now. Between the streamer and the Harman Musiclife app that you need to use to stream stuff it is probably the most frustrating period in my life so far. What a lot of absolute rubbish. I have contacted their help desk so many times that I have lost count and nothing has ever been resolved. My recomendation would be to scrap the Musiclife app and start again. Perhaps they need some new IT experts fo facilitate this. I cannot express my dismay enough. Please do not follow me down this horrendous road of sheer frustration.

Bought their loudspeakers

Their Onyx studio 8 is the best portable loudspeakers I have ever had.
It has a pretty sleek design, nice package and the connection occurs in a blink of an eye whether this is iPhone or Android. Plus, there are several colors to choose from. My choice was blue color, cuz I believe it's the best for loudspeakers. Deep blue stresses the depth of the sound.

Contrary to some of the other reviews I had a great experience in contacting them for advice in setting up my Arcam AVR. The support was very comprehensive, the technician was patient and thorough. Very impressed.

Harman Kardon Go Play: Don't Bother!

My out-of-warranty Harman Kardon Go Play suddenly sounded awful after I took it from storage after a few months. I contacted HK support who offered me a 20% discount voucher to purchase a replacement from their website (£299.99) which meant a discount of £60 = £239.99 to pay. But once bitten, twice shy so I opted to bite the bullet, pay a bit extra and opted for the JBL Boombox 3 instead. Nevertheless, HK didn't offer to reimburse me 20% of the cost (even though JBL are part of Harman Industries). Oh, well, the JBL sounds awesome so glad I went with that option! Not the first time I've heard of problems with the Go Play so don't bother is my advice!

Harman Kardon, never again

In short, I have purchased a so called High Fidelity Sound system in my Alfa Romeo Giulia from 2019. To any one considering purchasing this to their Alfa Romeo; DON’T DO IT. It’s not worth the money, as models including Stelvio and Giulia Quadrifolio models, have a terrible resonance already at medium volume.
Alfa Romeo, Denmark, Will not recognize this defect, though their engineers have accepted the obvious error.
Alfa Romeo And Harman Kardon engineers have not tested thoroughly and have clearly not understood the basics of how to deliver true HI-FI.

If you wan’t true HI-FI Sound in your Car, go for Bowers&Wilkins, Bang&Olufsen, Burmester etc.

I Will never purchase any product from Harman Kardon nor from Alfa Romeo again.
