The Harman Kardon SoundSticks 5 speakers have been debuted by the brand as the latest edition of the namesake Millennium-era equipment to help modernize it for today's listener. The speakers maintain the same industrial design as the original, but add in modern must-haves like Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity, while also featuring support for major streaming services. The speakers also incorporate lighting to help users take advantage of their see-through design to create mood-defining experiences with the power of ambient illumination.
The Harman Kardon SoundSticks 5 speakers are paired with an HDMI ARC port to allow for incorporation into home theater systems on the 2.1 channel. The speakers will come in Clear and Smoke finishes when they launch in the UK in March with a US launch yet to be announced.
