Harman Kardon in Kenya
Grown-up home audio with the design to match.
Harman Kardon is JBL's more refined sibling — both belong to Harman — and it aims at the living room rather than the beach. Where JBL builds for volume and durability, Harman Kardon tunes for balance and builds in glass, metal and fabric intended to be visible in a room.
The best-known products are the Onyx and Aura ranges: substantial wireless speakers that serve as the main audio source for a room rather than a portable extra. Harman Kardon also supplies factory audio systems for several car manufacturers, which is where many people first hear the brand.
If you want one speaker that looks and sounds like a piece of furniture rather than a gadget, this is the range to look at.

Choose Harman Kardon over JBL when the speaker will live in one room and you care how it looks and how balanced it sounds. Choose JBL if it is going outdoors or to events.
