What Hifi gives it 4 out of 5 stars as a $600 product (from 8/13/2020)

This is crazy these devices cost this much an they barely have any inputs (or outputs since : wait for it) . No audiophile should be using bt. Most don't even tell you which BT version they use. That must be awesome to watch movies where the audio isn't in sync. I could see a 69$ device only having like one or two options. How is an hdmi only out? 👀🤦 They must be using some strong glue making this stuff an forgetting to use respirators

really wanted to pull the trigger on this but it seems that the HK Citation line is only compatible with other Citation products. Which unfortunately means no cross brand subwoofer support

This is true for virtually every soundbar I've ever seen FWIW

I have a Harman Kardon Citation 300 (the slightly smaller version of the Citation 500 here). I picked it up about three years ago for $150. A few notes about it:
- It has Wifi and Google Assistant built-in, so it acts as a smart speaker with *fantastic* audio quality
- The Citation 300 that I have plays more than loud enough for any room in my house and sounds great even at high volume. The Citation 500 here has slightly larger woofers and a bigger amp.
- The Citation 300/500 has dual tweeters and woofers. Stereo separation is a little bit limited because both pairs of drivers are in a single box, but it does do true stereo.
- The Citation 300/500 *only* supports wireless connectivity. You can stream via Wifi with Google Assistant and Chomecast built-in, or you can stream via bluetooth; there is no wired connectivity (No RCA, optical, 3.5mm aux, etc).
- When I bought my Citation 300 for $150, the Citation 500 was $230. That was 3 years ago, though, and I haven't seen either available for any sort of reasonable discount since then.

I do kinda wish the Citation 300 (and 500) had some sort of physical audio input, but more in a "just in case" sort of way, or just because I like the flexibility. At the same time, the lack of physical audio input has never been a big issue for me with my Citation 300 and I've never regretted buying it.

For reference, my Citation 300 spent a couple of years in my work-at-home office where it got at least a few hours of use daily before moving to my bedroom when I upgraded my office setup to a pair of bookshelf speakers. The Citation 300 still gets used in my bedroom just about every morning (while getting ready for work) and every night while getting ready for bed. I also use it regularly when I'm reading in the bedroom, too.

I can't speak to the Citation 700 Soundbar, never used that one.

It's chromecast built in. It can do 24/96. Roon is capable of controlling it.

I think the BT is for if you want to play tunes from your phone. You run HDMI from the TV to the soundbar for your TV audio.
