After months of searching for a good, budget, and quality 2.1 speaker system. I finally decided to purchase this Harman Kardon Soundsticks 3 last November 3, 2013. The ratings are very high as i've seen from various credible websites in the internet such as cnet, pcmag, bit-tech.net, and many others. Still, to convince myself I search it on Youtube and watched the Unboxing of the product. The Box is pretty solid and the two sattelite speakers and the subwoofer are firmly intact inside the box.
The design is superb and has been entered into New York MoMA's permanent collection. It has a transparent plastic for each sattelite speakers with 8 mid-range drivers in total. The 10.2-by-9.2-inch subwoofer looks like an orb in the dark with its white LED lighting. The power switch is located at the back of the subwoofer and also the bass adjustments. The left sattelite speaker has the minus and plus touch volume to adjust the volume.
The sound is awesome that can fill a mid-size room, even if you turn the volume to its maximum, you will never hear any distortion of the sound. I've tested it using I-Tunes and played Clarity by Zedd and with its downfiring bass and self-powered sattelite, it produces great sound compared from the other 2.1 speaker systems in the market within its price range. If you're looking for budget 2.1 speaker system with superb bass, with sound reaching high and low frequencies, this Harman Kardon Soundsticks 3 is really worth to buy. I thanks God, I got this one.
