Looks to be a decent price for a 5 year old model Soundbar without Sub, outputting 210W RMS. A lot of value here given it has Apple AirPlay, Google Home & Chromecast built-in, you normally only see that on Soundbars $600+. Harmon Kardon is specialist audio brand, it seems that this model was selling for $799 when first launched 5 years ago.

To me, this would be perfect for a bedroom or small apartment

    Harman Kardon. Now sold at Aldi. How the mighty have fallen since being bought by Samsung. They used to be both the duck's guts and the bee's knees. What's next B&O ?

      Samsung bought them? That explains it

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harman_International

        In March 2015, Harman acquired the automotive division of Bang & Olufsen for €145 million (US$156 million) for the unit as well as technology license fees. The purchase did not include Bang & Olufsen's consumer-electronics business.

        On November 14, 2016, Harman entered into an agreement to be acquired by Samsung Electronics. In February 2017, Harman International shareholders voted in favor of the acquisition by Samsung.

      Reviews mention it coming with a wall mounting kit, but who knows if this is going to be a stripped down package.

    Bing Lee cleared this product out for $112 at some point, so don't expect anything really. Soundbar tech needs a lot of work really, too much dynamic compression and audible distortion.

    If you have the space, take advantage of the used speaker market and enjoy your life. If you don't, try to research implementations and technology that can actually output decent sound in the form factor (hint: there's not as many as you think).

      Any recommendations for smart speaker?

    Far out a 5 year old soundbar still being worth $229

    Oof

      Beyerdynamic DT 770 pro is several decades old, still, one of the most sought-after headphones today.
      If you believe a 5-year-old design in audio makes it obsolete, you know not much about audio processing or reproduction.

      On another note, nothing to do to with age, I would not buy this specific equipment.

    Would it be better quality sound than a JBL 510 soundbar?

      For what it's worth Telstra are showing that JBL 510 sound bar for $159 and Good Guys Commercial are $128 (+$9 delivery if required). The sound bar appears to have good reviews for the price and seems like a top price from Good Guys Commercial, so I just ordered one.

        I already have the SB510 bought from jb-hifi ($180).
        Was asking to see if it the soundbar listed is an upgrade or not.

        The SB510 sounds great. Suprising amount of bass for a soundbar and is clear sounding.

        For best use I've found placing the soundbar on a solid surface with at least 1 inch space from the the front of the soundbar and the surface is resting on allows the bass reflex port to have better low end bass.
