Harman’s Citation 100 speaker is a lot of fun. The bass is strong and the sound fills the room, but it’s not the best choice if you’re after a speaker with neutral and balanced audio performance. The Harman Kardon Citation 100 is a large smart speaker that connects with Google Assistant. You can use its built-in microphone to request tracks and organize yourHarman Kardon Citation 100 Speaker battery <\/a><\/strong> life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s also one of the most serious-looking smart speakers on the market. It’s a large black tower speaker that matches the cute elements of the Libratone Zipp 2 and Amazon Echo Plus. It’s 27.5cm tall, 11cm taller than the Sonos One. For most people, this isn’t a major practical issue. The Citation 100 is an upright speaker. Its base doesn’t need to take up a lot of space, being about as tall as a bookshelf speaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if you want a smart speaker that people will barely notice unless it’s playing music, the Citation 100 isn’t an obvious choice. JBL makes smaller versions like the Citation One for this audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aside from its massive size, the Harman Kardon Citation 100 is actually pretty neutral in appearance. A fabric mesh, predominantly black with a hint of dark gray, covers its sides. Harman Kardon also offers a gray version that looks a little less drab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Harman Kardon Citation 100 doesn’t have everything, though. It doesn\u2019t have a 3.5mm port, and it doesn\u2019t easily plug into a turntable if that\u2019s the last thing you want to add to your transition to all-digital music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is also a completely non-portable speaker. There\u2019s no <\/p>\n\n\n\n

, no option to add a battery, and no waterproofing or sense of ruggedness. It\u2019s designed for the home, not a road trip. There are two threaded stand mounting points on the bottom, though, which is handy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Harman Kardon Citation 100 is very easy to set up. Everything is handled through the Google Home app, which doesn\u2019t let poorly developed custom apps ruin the experience. It also allows you to group the Citation with other speakers on the platform, not just JBL speakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is one feature that isn\u2019t as advanced as the average smart speaker, though. The Citation 100 only has two microphones, not the six found in Amazon\u2019s Echo speakers, or even the relatively cheap Echo Dot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harman Kardon Citation 100 sound quality – while it does get loud, it’s not a particularly neutral-sounding speaker<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harman Kardon calls the Citation 100 “the smallest, most powerful-sounding smart home speaker.” Small might be a little misleading, but “powerful” is not. Its bass is deep and full, extending far beyond neutral sound quality into the party zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It would be wrong to call it a mindless bass monster. The Harman Kardon Citation 100 has very pleasant, sweet highs, good midrange texture, and the volume of the sound is enough that you will worry about disturbing the neighbors.

If you want rich sound that can fill a fairly large room at higher volumes without the strained tones heard with small speakers such as the Sonos One, this speaker is one of the best choices at this price point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bass integration is also good, although the clearly emphasized bass is not natural in definition. And this is the main potential stumbling block here. In a classic rock band arrangement, the Harman Kardon Citation 100 made the bass guitar stand out too much, as if the bassist’s brother was on the soundboard.Find the best Harman Bluetooth Speakers Battery price!
