I have the 4 HK Onyx Studio 7 speakers, Great sound, especially when paired.


You can pair only two same series speakers together at a time.
You have to pair the two speakers together each & every time that you power them on. (Which takes literally less than 10 seconds.)

Community Reviews

The Onyx Studio 8 is a large portable Bluetooth speaker that stands out for rich sound, strong bass, and a stylish design, with several comparisons putting it near much pricier speakers. It works well as a TV or apartment speaker, and pairing two units can create a wider stereo setup. The main drawbacks are its size and weight, limited portability, and battery life that can land around 6 hours or less. Pairing two speakers also has quirks, since the stereo link may need to be reactivated after power cycles or Bluetooth reconnects. A solid pick if you want big sound more than grab and go convenience.

  • Battery life can be limited to roughly 6-8 hours, and some units may drop to about 2 hours at higher volume.

  • Onyx Studio 8 pairing can require re-pairing each time the speakers are powered on, which can be inconvenient for daily use.

    YoutCoconutz0311

  • Stereo Boost mode may fail to return after a Bluetooth disconnect and reconnect, requiring power-cycling or factory reset to restore stereo.

    Quizqu

  • Bluetooth connectivity can be unreliable, with skipping and frequent re-pairing between left and right speakers.

This speaker's battery life is so bad. Only last 6-8 hrs. Mine only gets about 6 hrs at 80% volume. If you don't mine the short battery life, then this is a great price.

I don't know what world you live in, but 6 hours is good for a speaker at 80% especially with this kind of sound quality. My 2 gets like 2 hrs max

We have these in our operating rooms. Definitely worth $100. I don't believe they were ever $500. Sounds nice with decent bass for the size.

MY HK onyx 7 lasted less than 2 years before dying. I bought it to pair with another, and it needed to be manually paired each time. Sounded great but wouldn't buy another.

I have an Onyx 2 and 4, use them almost every day and they're fantastic especially at this price point. You can also link multiple together throughout your house if you want a budget home theater system.
Do you have to pair them with each use?

I have 2 of the 7s and they are fantastic.
I have a 4 also.
I would absolutely get this one if I needed another.
Very good quality and the sound is outstanding.

If you always have it plugged in at all times its incredible sounding for its size. ON battery its life is MAYBE 2 hrs. I use this as my main TV speaker (always plugged in and run from tv via 3.5mm cord) and its worth $100 for sure.

They're $129 on Amazon right now, so maybe not jump all over the 80% savings.

Paid $80 in May 24. They're big and heavy. They are as portable as a 10 lb exercise ball.

I got one, five year old. Best sounding speaker in our home so far! Batteries died by now. We keep it plugged in.
