amazon Harman Kardon Omni 20+ reviews

Build – Appearance

After nearly four years of launching a new version, Omni 20+ was released two years ago, but the design language is still not outdated. Omni 20+ does not have too many design differences compared to its predecessor Omni 20. The speaker’s front is covered with a simple fabric to protect the inner diaphragm. Less advanced than the metal plate coating found on the Omni 50+.

That’s not to say that Harman Kardon is weak at this part. Compared to its predecessor, the Omni 20+ looks more advanced. The fabric film does not attract dust as much as before; the surface seems smoother and firmer.

Above the fabric is a prominent logo, which can change color according to the light direction of Harman Kardon. Quite striking and good-looking. Behind is the signature passive diaphragm of this brand, similar to the Onyx series. The passive speaker face on the back also has a similar lighting design.

Above the speaker body, in the connection between the front and back of the Omni 20+ is a cluster of navigation buttons with a familiar layout: pairing button, stop/play music, increase, decrease volume, and a fairly large song selection button in the center.

At the bottom, Omni 20+ seems to have been changed more or less later. The material has now been turned into a sturdy metal, not a glossy plastic like the normal 20 version. The internal connection ports include digital power port 8, 3.5mm AUX jack, Ethernet port, WPS, and reset.

Although the design language is kept the same as the normal version, the Omni 20+ has a more modern and sophisticated look than the glossy black plastic version. Less prominent, simple, in harmony with the interior of the house.

Connectivity – Features

The Omni 20+ has pretty impressive wireless connectivity. You can connect to the speaker directly via the 3.5mm AUX port or wirelessly through the dual-band wifi system (2.4Ghz and 5Ghz) and even by Bluetooth if you want.

Omni’s high-power speakers also support an 802.11 AC indoor wireless system, 96kHz/24bit wireless streaming technology that allows listening to music up to 192kHz/24bit standard. Far superior to the normal version, which can only stream at 96kHz/24bit. The actual ability, of course, goes without saying, reaching the top of the table with stability and smoothness. By downloading the Harman Kardon Controller App, you can directly control the speaker when connecting to your home wifi system. If you don’t like the old interface of HK, you can play music directly on the Omni 20+ speaker from Spotify.

If you use HK’s app, you will also be able to use some extremely convenient features when you intend to buy multiple Omni 20+ speakers to improve your home’s sound system. For example, One-touch Follow Me Audio and Party Mode allow you to open multiple speakers in different rooms at the same time or create 360-degree stage sound.

Quite convenient, fast, stable with wifi connection. You can even connect your mobile device to the speaker via Bluetooth. The connectivity remains the same; the sound quality remains stable and good. However, you should know one big thing: a rather large delay when connecting the Omni 20+ speaker via Bluetooth.

With this, you should only listen to music when you can connect to Bluetooth, not watching MVs, watching movies, or playing games; the big delay will affect your entertainment experience.

Sound quality

Omni 20+ owns a speaker system consisting of 2 2 x 90mm woofers, 2 2 x 19mm tweeters, and a passive rear diaphragm; the size of 2 woofers has been significantly increased from 75mm, promising to deliver range reproduction full of power, strong. Indeed, its sound quality is as expected in a speaker of this high-end line.

The three bands of high, mid, and low sound are all excellently performed by Omni 20+, but the most prominent is still the powerful bass range. Bass hit strong, deep, good tempo, good reproducibility, detail. In addition, the mid and treble are well represented, without any loss of quality to focus on the bass. The two mid and high ranges still retain the clarity, sweetness, and warmth of the vocals, the detail, and the ability to handle the treble without being sibilant.
