Harman Kardon Citation 300 is rated 3.5 out of 5 by 4.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Harman Kardon Citation 300 Test of Harman Kardon Citation 300 Through Reviewclub I have been given the chance to try this speaker from Harman Kardon, This is a speaker with Google assistance which is exactly what I was looking for, I think the function with Google assistance works pretty well. Google needs to learn voices and commands but it works better every day. The sound in the speaker is very good and the design was for my part appealing, the speaker can be placed anywhere without having to be ashamed. I use the speaker to turn on and off the lights in the house, check the traffic before I go to work check weather forecasts and so on. I'd rather add the difference to this than buy a Google Home speaker.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Needs serious improvement / upgrades Adjusting the volume does not adjust the volume of the assistant! so you lower the sound but the assistant still belows back. No tuning / EQ No easy way to turn off some lighting effects - if I turn the microphone off, there's a bunch of bright red LEDs on permanent display. Podcasts on the assistant are very random - I can't get any BBC podcasts to work (other than workaround using chromecasting). To be for, it's not clear whether that's an Assistant problem, or a hardware intergration problem. Volume adjustment buttons (hardware) only partly responsive as reported by other users. Pros: Solid, good quality, nice design. Good quality sound. Very powerful. Does not require seperate app / works with Google home.
