The Harman Kardon SoundSticks III is mainly a cosmetic upgrade of previous models, and a subtle one at that, but this 2.1-channel PC speaker set remains our Editors' Choice.

Review: Harman Kardon Soundsticks III desktopset - pagina 3 - p 24978

Dat Harman Kardon's Soundsticks een fraai staaltje design zijn, bewijzen de afbeeldingen al. De tweede versie werd zelfs opgenomen in het New Yorkse Museum of Modern Art. Ook de opvolger ziet er prachtig uit, en met de klank is het al even goed gesteld.
