Pros and cons

According to our soundbar expert
  • With the built-in Google Assistant, you can control the soundbar via voice commands.
  • Add the soundbar to the Harman Kardon multi-room system and stream your music throughout the entire house.
  • You have to buy an HMDI cable separately to connect the soundbar to the TV.
  • You can't connect the soundbar to the Citation One for a 5.0 or 5.1 surround setup, because you need the Citation Towers or Citation Surround for that.

Connect the soundbar to your smartphone via WiFi or Bluetooth to use the Google Assistant. This way, you don't just operate your music with voice commands, but the Assistant also answers all your questions about the weather forecast, traffic, or your own calendar. Connect the soundbar to other Citation speakers for a 5.1 home cinema sound setup. The WiSA technology ensures that the sound quality remains up to standard with a WiFi connection.

Great quality and easy to use but includes software

  • Sound quality
  • design
  • Connection options
  • Sometimes not responding

The sound quality is quite good. Especially in combination with the subwoofer. It is good in terms of convenience and design. Only the HDMI arc connection does not work in combination with our Samsung TV. And it hangs sometimes, doesn't respond to anything. Turning it on and off helps. And sometimes he doesn't see the optical connection.

Great sound from a bar

  • Sound is very good
  • Spotify Connect and Chromecast
  • HDMI-ARC
  • Orange LEDs on the front

I connected the Citation bar via HDMI-ARC and a wired network cable. I use it standalone, so without other devices connected.

I really like the sound of this soundbar. Netflix sounds like a movie and I also experience the virtual surround sound perfectly in a game. I'm not used to real surround (except in the bios) so I can't compare that well. It is also nice that it is always on, which of course costs extra energy, so you can always stream directly or ask Google a question. As soon as I switch on the TV the sound switches to the bar.

I don't like the orange LEDs on the front. These light up as soon as the microphone (from google) is muted. However, this is always the case if you play sound via HDMI-ARC (from TV or game console), so those LEDs will light up. Google Assistant does not work, but by pressing the button on the remote control, it can be called up again quickly.

The display on top of the bar is of course nice, but you can't see what you set when you operate it from the couch. I always have to get up to see which setting I'm changing.

In terms of connection, I still miss a USB port, but not very much.
