SAVE $369.96: As of April 11, Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 8 is available for $129.99 at Woot. That’s 74% off its original list price of $499.95.
I’ve been side-eyeing high-end Bluetooth speakers for a while now, waiting for one to dip low enough that I could justify it without guilt. This? This is that moment. Harman Kardon’s Onyx Studio 8 is $129.99 at Woot right now, down from a wild $499.95. That’s a 74% discount, which feels like a typo they forgot to fix.
In my opinion, Onyx Studio 8 is what you get when audio engineers and interior designers actually talk to each other. The thing looks good enough to live on a bookshelf without screaming “tech bro” and sounds like you accidentally bought something for professionals. It’s got that warm, punchy low-end Harman Kardon is famous for, and the kind of clarity that makes even your sad playlist sound cinematic.
It also has self-tuning, which I did not realize was a feature I needed until now. Power it on in a new room and it recalibrates to its surroundings automatically. No fiddling, no settings, no pretending you understand what “acoustic phase optimization” means. Just turn it on, and it sounds great.
Battery life clocks in at eight hours, and it can pair with two Bluetooth devices at once. If your partner insists on hijacking the playlist mid-dinner party, now they can. You’ll regret it, but they can. The anodized aluminum handle doubles as a base, which makes it genuinely portable and not just “portable” in the sense that you could move it but probably won’t.

It even earns a few eco points thanks to recycled materials and soy ink packaging. Not saying this will singlehandedly save the planet, but it’s nice to know your speaker has a smaller footprint than your streaming habits.
For $129.99, this is one of those “add to cart before someone notices the mistake” kind of deals. I want it, and I don’t even need another speaker. That’s how good it is.
