Bass response was excellent and the Onyx Studio provided enough rumble to fill any room. We found the unit delivered consistently rich, warm tones across all genres of music. Featuring two 3-inch woofers and two 3/4-inch tweeters, the speaker boasts 60 watts of power. But, as many of you know, loud does not always mean clear. The first few times we played music on the Onyx Studio we were blown away at how loud it gets. And, for those wondering whether you can take calls through the speaker, that's a definite no. As for the micro USB port on the back, well that's reserved for firmware updates. It's not a deal-breaker, though, as just about anything and everything we own today offers Bluetooth.

Unlike other models at lower price, this one is neither rugged nor does it have any special coating to keep the face from tearing or getting dirty. The speaker itself weighs around 4.5 pounds and is rather portable thanks to the handle. Our sits higher up on a mantle we can't see the buttons at all yet we don't have issues. What's more, they have a slight indentation and respond easily to pressing so you can even fumble with them in the dark. It takes up more space on a shelf than we expected but it looks great in any environment.Īround the outer edge of the speaker are four buttons: power, Bluetooth, and volume up and down.You don't see them from the front but you'll figure out the placement in no time.
