Harman Kardon Omni 10+ và Omni 20+ design
Both the Harman Kardon Omni 10+ & the 20+ have been given a round design. The Omni 10+ is the smallest Model and is about the kích thước of a football (but with a flat bottom) The Omni 20+ is more oval & resembles two merged 10+ versions, which are fused together in the middle. The big bass module, which we also find on the JBL Playlist, is on the back, which vibrates nicely when you play music with a lot of bass sound, and you can read more about the sound unique later in this extensive Đánh Giá.
Both speakers have sầu a number of buttons on the top. The most striking button is the Link button: that is that big round thing with that slash in it. With this you can, for example, change music sources. We also see a plus and minus button and a button with which you can pause and switch on the music. Basically you can control the majority of the functions with those buttons: but if you want to lớn change the volume, then you really have lớn vì chưng this via software. Either via an ứng dụng or via an operating system like Windows 10.
The Harman Kardon Omni 10+ and Omni 20+ are also Wi-Fi & multi-room speakers. You can set this option via the new application from the manufacturer, where Harman worked with Uber’s team for about four years. That is a long time, but you also get a very nice application in return (more about that later). When you start the app for the first time, it will help you install the speakers. You connect speaker for speaker to the network; make sure that only one is on.
If you have sầu turned on one speaker, it will jump inkhổng lồ search mode. When the Link button flashes slowly, you can liên kết it khổng lồ your Wi-Fi network. On iOS, this process will be automated (the Wi-Fi password will be shared immediately), but Android users need to take an extra step. The Wi-Fi password must be entered manually. Also no problem, but sometimes you vị not know that password by yourself or you do not have it at h&. The iOS ứng dụng does that something smarter with Apple technology.
Before you connect the speaker lớn your Wi-Fi network, you can indicate where that state is. Harman Kardon has a number of rooms (such as the bedroom, the kitchen or the office, but there are many more options available), but you can also thiết kế something completely yourself. You can vì this by means of different colors (making it easier for you lớn recognize groups) or by giving a personal name (such as bedroom child 1 or for example a pantry, just to give sầu some examples).
Within the tiện ích you can choose a number of built-in music streaming services. This results in both advantages và disadvantages. The advantage is that for built-in services, such as Tidal, you vày not need an extra ứng dụng và can arrange everything from the Harman Kardon phầm mềm. The disadvantage is that these services can not immediately benefit from the updates that are released by tiện ích makers, so you have to deal with an inferior version in some cases. But in general you have sầu little trouble in practice.

The các mục of available music streaming services also includes other apps, such as Spotify. By tapping it you can open the music streaming service of your choice & you can start streaming immediately. This gives you access khổng lồ around two hundred different services – so there is a good chance that your music streaming service is also in between. You also get access to lớn everything you have sầu stored within those apps, such as your favorite songs, your playlists and more và everything can be played through the Omni speakers.
Of course you are also able to play locally stored songs from your Android or iOS device. That goes through the Harman Kardon app; you can also play those songs via Wi-Fi. If you have several speakers in the house of the same set (the Omni 10+, Omni 20+ & the upcoming models), you can also sover that music (locally, via WiFi or via bluetooth) to the other speakers. You bởi vì this by switching on another speaker in the network & pressing the Link button. Then you will hear a music stream.
That way you play music through Google Cast
Playing music via Google Cast, from a smart device khổng lồ a suitable speaker, is very simple. If you have completed the installation process & Google trang chủ indicates that the speaker is ready, you can start immediately. The screenshots below are made with Google Play Music, but in principle it works for all Cast apps. In the picture you see a Cast ibé (in the middle, at the bottom). Tap it once. Then you choose the speaker you want lớn cast to. That’s it! At the bottom you now see that the speaker is connected.
It also depends a bit on the source. If you use locally stored music that is played in low chất lượng, you will hear less detail than when you use Tidal or another service that can offer that music in high quality. The Omni 10+ may compare with the Omni 20+ or slightly less performance, it is still a better option than the recently tested Teufel speakers (và we were already happy about that!), Although the ( preparation of the) multiroom future also plays a role in this.
Harman Kardon Omni 10+ and Omni 20+ conclusion
When you bought the previous versions of Omni 10 và Omni 20, you probably came home page from a cold funfair. No, the audio chất lượng of the Harman Kardon products is often not: it is the app or other software that a bluetooth, wifi or multiroom speaker can make or break nowadays. And precisely at that point, the manufacturer, together with the Uber team, has made a lot of progress in recent years. Installing & using these speakers is accessible & user-friendly.
The phầm mềm is completely on the shovel & that you notice all facets. Not only is the thiết kế modernized, but there are more than enough possibilities from the app lớn realize. It shows that Harman Kardon is serious about his multiroom speakers, even though it is of course a trkết thúc that many manufacturers want to lớn indent nowadays. But if you vày it, then do it well – và that message the manufacturer, after the previously launched Omni 10 và Omni 20, now well understood.
In terms of sound chất lượng, you can also expect a pleasant experience. The bass sounds deep & pleasant & also pretty warm where needed. The higher tones vì not fall away và you can distinguish between the different beats (that can be slightly better on the Omni 20+ than the Omni 10+, but that’s not surprising because the 20+ is slightly larger). Together with the many options with regard to lớn the multiroom thiết lập, this is a speaker family that we would be happy lớn recommkết thúc. The new Omni’s are ready for the future.
