Harman Kardon’s Omni wireless speakers make multi-room audio simple

We visited Harman Kardon’s exhibit at IFA 2014 to get our eyes and ears on the Omni wireless speakers the company announced at the show earlier this week. Given how much we enjoyed H/K’s Onyx Studio wireless speaker, we expected great things. We’re glad to report that we were not disappointed.

Aside from sounding very good, the Omni multi-room system’s app offers the sort of drag-and-drop simplicity we’ve come to expect. After all, if you’re going to try to beat Sonos at its own game, you best put some effort into making your system as easy to use as possible.

In our video, we show off the Omni 10 and the larger, more powerful Omni 20, as well as the Omni Adapt, which allows users to integrate any other powered audio system into the wirelessly meshed mix.

harman kardon allure smart speaker sale dell

Digital assistants haven't quite reached Iron Man's Jarvis' level of usefulness (yet), but there are a handful that are on the right track, one of which being Amazon Alexa -- and there's a
fantastic deal
on an Alexa-driven Harman Kardon Allure smart speaker for those looking to add a taste of the future to their home.

Dell's retail arm has knocked $135 off the Harman Kardon Allure, sending the price plummeting down to $65. But there's a catch: There's a limited amount of stock available, so those wanting to scoop up an Allure on the cheap will need to head over to the retailer's website and complete their order right away or risk missing out.

Harman Kardon’s sleek Soho Wireless Headphones get a $150 price cut
Harman Kardon Soho Wireless

Harman Kardon makes great-sounding speakers and headphones. They also have their own unique design: as much thought is put into making them look great on your desk or on your head as is put into the sound quality itself. The Harman Kardon Soho Wireless headphones are no exception, and at a price of $100, $150 off retail, they're hard to beat. With the included free two-day shipping thrown into the deal, you'll be rocking out in your new pair of headphones in no time.

Instead of your traditional oval-shaped earcups, the Sohos are a rectangle. Using a combination of stitched leather and stainless steel versus the plastic found with competing models gives them a bit more heft -- and likely more durability (although we'd recommend keeping them in the included pouch when not in use). A unique fold-flat function allows you to store them in the carrying pouch and tuck them away in a gym bag, briefcase, or purse.
