  • Add sound adjustment

    App doesn’t do much of anything. Would be more useful if an equalizer was added to adjust sound settings. The stock sound quality of the onyx 4 tends to have flat/neutral mid and highs. Would like to adjust this.
  • Welp...y’all were right.

    I expected the very worse and got it quickly. Connected. Launched Stereo. Sounds great! Left Channel! Right Channel! Yea!!! I’m thinking...”What are they talking about?!?!”...and then BOOM...bye-bye Stereo. Hello pop-up messages.

    Since that initial 5 minutes:
    1. I’ve changed the sight-lines between my iPhone and the main speaker. (It’s Bluetooth and shouldn’t matter...
    2. I also have kept the HK app open on my phone while playing music. (Plugged into my charging stand)
    3. I turned off my notifications (have no idea if it matters)

    But...not one interruption. Not one. I realize that’s not sustainable, but I know what I’m working with....and I’m very very happy.

    Played an album from start to finish...clean.
    And now the big test...March Madness. Connected to my smart TV now...Awesome!

    Good luck.

  • Amazing speaker; USELESS app

    Every time you reopen the app, you have to turn the speaker off and back on for it to discover it. Once it does, the app still offers no functionality other than editing the speakers name..
  • Add more ‘Stuff’

    You have a lot of screen real estate going unused. Could make battery meter larger- almost have to squint to read it.

    Could add current ‘speaker volume level’ understand side buttons control volume but then it’s easier to see how much more you could give ‘er, so to speak!

    Even current song playing/player in use.

    Don’t have multiple speakers to test with, so when I do I’ll edit review accordingly.

    As always, the Onyx speaker itself is great! Been buying these since the Onyx 2 and many friends and family have bought these from listening to the music quality produced by these bad boys!

  • Fantastic speakers ruined by this app!

    I am giving a 1 star review to this app only, I would rate my speakers as 5-Star. The interface provided for using these speakers is absolutely terrible. When you do have the speakers synced they sound incredible, but that’s worthless if you cannot use them.
  • Great speakers but terrible app!

    As others have said, the speakers sound amazing, and when the app works and puts them into “stereo” mode, it’s a beautiful thing. The problem is that it won’t stay in stereo mode for long and reverts back to “party” mode for no reason. Once it automatically dumps them back into party mode, it takes an act of Congress to get it back into stereo mode with the app stating that it cannot connect to the speakers, only shows one speaker, tells me to turn off my other HK app (there is no other app running), etc. At that point, I have to turn off the app, both speakers and start the process over of syncing it all again. Super frustrating!!!!!! HK app developers - please fix this app...pretty please!!

  • Wish I could rate this zero stars

    Unbelievably frustrating speakers and app. One speaker works well, but don’t believe what the manufacturer says about adding other speakers. The speakers won’t work well together for more than a couple of minutes- lots of skipping and static, even when sitting close together. The app will allow them to pair in stereo, but that drops back into party mode almost immediately, and even the party mode sounds awful. Tried resetting, reconnecting, moving the speakers, and reassigning WiFi router bands. How disappointing. Keeping one and returning the other.

  • Connection problems

    Great speaker but the app gives issues starting with trying to connect the speaker, no problem connecting via Bluetooth but app cannot discover it. Hopefully updates can fix these issues as it’s awesome speaker.
  • thanks for leading the way!!

    having an app to control speakers brings so much joys. this makes the onyx studio 4 more valuable. i would love to see upgraded versions of this app could be able to set up a surround system. thanks again for making this happen.
    the only reason why i don’t give it a five stars score is that this version is still buggy.

  • Worked the first time. Second time..

    Worked the first time connecting to TWO Onyx 4’s, yet when paired watching movies there was a latency problem. Voices in videos were half a second behind what was being displayed in videos. Second time after a few days the app won’t recognize the speakers even when BOTH are connected to Bluetooth.. Keeps telling me to turn my Bluetooth on and won’t go past that page. However, I still can link both Onyx 4 speakers without the app, which is nice. I noticed with one speaker connected to Apple TV 4 there was no latency. I have yet to further test both speakers. But speakers are great. I’m believing these issues will be addressed with updates. That’s why I’m leaving a review hoping Harmon Kardon will fix these issues.
