Everything is relative when it comes to reviews. I tend to rate according to my expectations for the money paid / price point.
PROS:
-Bluetooth connection is far better than anticipated. I can go anywhere in my two story home including my basement and upstairs without the connection going out! Wow...
-Volume is incredible for a portable speaker. Wow, this thing is quite the upgrade for me and it's current price point as of September 2015, you CANNOT beat this for the money. Easy to have an instant dance party. It does NOT distort at max volume. You don't feel like the speaker is going to blow out but it is very loud. I like that and it speaks to the quality and 60 watts of power. I think it is a little more powerful when it plugged in, but the battery mode hasn't been disappointing.
-Sound Quality - this is very clear with minimal background/static which you tend to get with bluetooth. I've heard this speaker described as a flat sound. I'd say that is an accurate description as if the EQ was set evenly. That's not a bad thing. There is a great clarity to the sound of this speaker. and it plays all genres well.
-Bass - The bass is not overpowering, but it is very good. It's really the perfect amount of bass.
SACRIFICES (these are personal sacrifices I made to get the sound quality I wanted at the price point I wanted. They are not necessarily cons to everyone).
Portability - this thing is on the large size. You aren't going to put it on your window sill or throw it in your backpack.
No AUX in input - The only time I would actually use this feature is if I hooked it up to my workout TV (which is really small and weak). It is nice so you don't get the bluetooth lag. I can live without that feature for this price point.
Battery Life - Ok, it would be nice to have longer battery life. However, if a bluetooth speaker lasts for 12 hours, there is NO WAY it has power that this thing does. The battery life is sufficient for me. Hopefully it stays that, but I will update the review if it becomes a problem. So far, so good.
I hope this is helpful to someone like me who reads countless reviews on amazon, cnet, youtube and any other place you can find them. If your wants are similar to mine, just go ahead and buy this item and you won't be disappointed. I've spend countless hours of my life researching which I'll never get back. I hope I can save you a few so you can make them productive instead!
My initial impressions when I first handled it were amazement and admiration. I was taken aback that something this small could put out such a large sound. I should clarify that I used it to play music inside an auditorium-type venue. The fact that this little speaker seemed to fill such a large area with clear, defined sound was extremely impressive for me. Something else that I appreciated was the option of portability. Although we use it only in our bedroom, it is quite possible for us to take it anywhere else. Another reason for appreciation is the design/build quality. It's got a heft to it that speaks volumes (pun intended) about the way it was made. The black on black color scheme with the metallic (chromed & brushed metal) accenting is a beautiful and simple touch.
Connectivity is easy. Turn the speaker on, enable Bluetooth on your device, select the Onyx Studio and you're set! The controls on the speaker itself are straightforward. One thing I highly appreciate about the speaker is that it syncs it's volume control with whatever device you happen to be using, so regardless of what you're using - speaker or device - to control/change volume, both devices will reflect the change. Something else I've noticed, that others pointed out in their reviews, is that the speaker's volume is richer/fuller/higher when plugged into an outlet versus being powered solely by the rechargeable battery. One thing that I do NOT appreciate, however, is the fact that I cannot turn the speaker on remotely with my Bluetooth enabled device. That is, perhaps, the only quibble I have with this speaker.
Regarding sound quality...it is amazing. I've listened to classical, pop, hip-hop, alternative/rock, and electronic music - the Onyx does a great job with every single one. It excels with bass-heavy music, yes, but it also does an admirable job with the mids and highs. Everything sounds controlled, tight and clear. I haven't needed to go anywhere close to the half-way volume mark, in fact I keep it 1-2 notches above silent because that's how well it performs.
Needless to say, this speaker does most everything right. My quibble with the remote power is still an irritating issue, but all the other features significantly outweigh it. I can only hope that maybe they'll come out with an update that gives the user the ability to power on/off. In any event, I'd highly recommend this speaker, especially if you care about amazing sound quality but only have the space for one device.

Para tener todo el sonido de los graves es necesario que esté conectada a la corriente. No es tan agradable cuando la desconectas y simplemente se apaga aunque eso les pasa a todas las generaciones de este producto y basta con encenderla nuevamente para que empiece a trabajar con su pila.
No es posible encadenar otras bocinas con esta ni realizar llamadas como en las últimas generaciones, sin embargo, me quedo con esta por la superioridad de su calidad de construcción aparente.
Algo mejorable es que la pila interna tiene muy poca capacidad y si tratas de escuchar un volumen alto después de un tiempo de descarga, simplemente se apagará. Puedes encederla a un volumen menor y seguirá trabajando.
Voy a abrirla y colocar otras 3 o 4 baterías en paralelo para mejorar este apartado. En YouTube una persona le puso como 8 pilas extra pero me preocupa que tantas pilas altere la excelente calidad de graves.
Recomiendo mucho este producto.
