The iconic Harman Kardon SoundSticks have gone through a handful of iterations over the years, with the desktop speaker system adding new features such as Bluetooth connectivity along the way.
The most recent fourth-generation appeared in 2020 with a refreshed look, and now, 25 years after it first launched (don’t forget this system was originally co-developed with Apple!) Harman Kardon has added Wi-Fi streaming to its list of abilities.
The Soundsticks 5 Wi-Fi has been given a bit of an aesthetic refresh too: “Its new clear white dome and polished metal centre plate bring a pure aesthetic that feels both futuristic and timeless.”
Another member of the Harman Kardon family to get the Wi-Fi treatment is the latest generation of its Aura Studio 5 speaker. The Aura Studio 5 Wi-Fi is a three-way wireless speaker that uses a 5.25-inch woofer, six 1.5-inch drivers and two one-inch tweeters.
It boasts identical streaming features to the SoundSticks 5 Wi-Fi and also includes self-tuning for your room and the ability to use two Aura Studios in a stereo pair or chain, multiple speakers together via Auracast.
Both the Harman Kardon Soundsticks 5 Wi-Fi and Aura Studio 5 Wi-Fi will be available from March 2026 at harmankardon.co.uk for £350/€380.
