    • Brilliant design and decent sound performance
    • You wont be sorry you spent the extra bucks for these stylish, cleverly designed, state of the art gems!
    • I'm pretty careful with my tech, so I conclude that it's just a bad design
    • First of all, the well known weird design choices
    • Really nice design but the performance in terms of sound is just ok; nothing extraordinary
    • Beautiful design.
    • If you love the design like me and want to persuade your wife that, this is a decoration, an enhancement to the house instead of a speaker for your own gaming/movie hobby
    • I know, it's form over function, but design is important to me, and the truth is, you don't buy these speakers unless you're in it partly for the way they look

    • I love the design and clean sound of these speakers but after a few weeks the volume control failed to work and i received virtually no support from Harman kardon
    • Here is my experience.-This 2.1 speaker is a very nice looking, well designed speaker
    • Beautiful design, flawed execution.
    • Design is excellent.
    • Were great speakers for the price when i bought them, even though the audio cable was a terrible, bulky design and wouldn't fit into the side of an iPad Pro with an Otterbox case on it, so I had to purchase a mediabridge cable, which was so much better.
    • Good:Satellite Speakers deliver excellent volumeSub-woofer very powerful, more than enough bassDesign is excellent, the clear see-through design blends well with any decor
    • Sure, their design is beautiful and you can go on about that for ages
    • I love the design and the speakers sound.
    • Design is very nice, the only thing I did not like was the fact is there is an LED on the sub, just feel I have too many lights on all the time even when you don't want them (did not look to see if there was an option to kill light).
    • The design is very innovative and, as such, a bit of a novelty
    • Beautiful design, light and an improvement over my clunky old Klipsch computer speakers.
    • They have an awesome futuristic design
    • It also feels good to be buying a made in the USA product from a company whose founder (and designer of the Model Two) revolutionized speaker design in the 1960s and '70s (AR, Advent, Cambridge SoundWorks).
    • The power brick is tacky for a company claiming a clean design

    • Great design, quality glass.
    • Pros: Great sound quality, fantastic unique design, small footprint, long cablesCons
    • Poor design, just asking to be pissed in.
    • Seem Harman Kardon is taking cues from Apple in it's simplistic design
    • Best design ever
    • They are not only a fun transparent design, they have brought dimension to my total listening experience
    • Great design and sound!
    • Unfortunately, the design is so nice that many people want to show it off and put the woofer on top of their desk, sacrificing a part of their low-band sound quality
    • Speakers work as designed again.
    • Good soundGood priceGood design that hasn't changed over many years ( which should tell you something)I'm replacing ones that I've had for 10 years

    • The design is awesome and timeless
    • With a gorgeous design, they look great in any setting and are sure to draw admiration from people of all walks of life
    • I LOVED the design
    • Again, the design is wonderful but in practice when you are trying to find out why no sound comes out of it (checking application/youtube volume, checking PC/Mac sound volume, checking the hardware/speaker volume) you will have absolutely no clue about the last one -- whether this device is on mute or not.=== Conclusion

    • Slick industrial design
    • Nice design
    • looks slightly different than description (see picture) and has bluetooth which wasn't in the description.power button for the entire system is on the back of the sub, which is a horrible design considering the manual says to put the sub under your desk, you'd have to crawl under your desk to power the speakers on and off
    • This is a good system for the price but the award winning design is good for looks but has some problems for reality,Pros: Probably the best sound for the price to upgrade your Desktop or Laptop computers sound

    • Sound is very clear and design is amazing
    • Ultimately tried to return and received a series of belligerent e-mails from the seller about how "this had never occurred in the history of the company".Unfortunately, when buying anything second hand through Amazon you are rolling the dice
