Harman Kardon BT noise problem.

i need to know if my HARKAR BT headphones have a problem. 1 or 2 second right after playing any sound or music in the headphones in wireless mode you can hear an audible noise of interference in the right speaker. I want to know if this is a known and general problem in bluethooth headphones, and if anyone have the same issue.
Thanks!

My Harman Kardon BT Headphones keep cutting out intermittently.  I found that the music would stop streaming to the headphone but it would continue playing on the phone.  To get the music back I had to keep pressing the play button on both my iphone and headphone and it would eventually come back.  Is it an issue with the 5 or is it my new headphones?
Had issues too. RESET my Jawbone Icon per online PDF and removed from iPhone and re paired no problem now.

  • Harman-kardon speakers and various loud noises( mac mini)

    My Harman-Kardon ball speakers, which have served me well from my old Cube days, are going loopy.
    They have been happily USB connected to my 17" studio display (and powered from it) Recently, I've been hearing clicking noises, which can turn to a very loud 'rushing' sound if the computer has been active for more than an hour. I know some have had software issues with their sound systems due to 10.4 updates, but none reported very loud sounds. I came home yesterday to what sounded like an apartment fire alarm, it was that loud, but it was only my 'sleeping' computer. The noise ended when I pulled out the USB.
    Could it be software? I don't want to buy new speakers if it might be. Or, time for knew speakers?-- if so, any advice? Happy New Year. Kevin

    While it may not be all that helpful, I had some issues with an Altec lansing speaker set on my G5, where background noise was abnormally high almost all the time, and from time to time there would be rushing noises which grew very loud. It turned out to be a faulty USB hub, even though the speakers were not USB connected.
    To troubleshoot your system, I would disconnect everything external bar the basic essentials, including any hubs or other devices, even the keyboard and mouse, and test the system that way. It would not be expected for software or MacOS itself to cause the sort of effects you describe.

  • Harman Kardon SoundSticks Wireless bluetooth on Yosemite problem

    Hi there,
    Since upgraded to Yosemite, I have problems with re-connecting my Harman Kardon SoundSticks Wireless (via bluetooth) to MacBook Pro (retina 15" late 2013). Every time when that happen, I need to restart the speakers to make them connect again.
    Is there some solution for this problem?
    Cheers!

    I’m having the exact same problem but with the Harman Kardon Esquire Mini, also on the Macbook Pro, same year as yours. It started when I still had Mountain Lion iOS. They first said it was a hardware problem then installed Yosemite as the fix. It did not fix it. My Mac will not pair with hubby's JBL bluetooth speaker either. And the HK speaker works fine with all our other devices.

  • Harman/kardon soundsticks II wireless ios 6 problems

    Hello there!
    I have the harman/kardon soundsticks II wireless, and since i´ve upgraded for the ios 6 i´m always having droupouts with the bluetooth connection, with my ipad 3 and my iphone 5.
    With the ios 5 it worked just fine!
    Does anyone have the same problem?
    Is there any tip/trick to solve this problem?
    Thank you and best regards from Portugal!

    HK replied on my e-mail saying this problem is dispatched to a "higher technical department" and that they tested but did not get any disconnections. I suggested that they run a longer test as these problems might only occur after 10-15 minutes.
    In the meantime the number of complaints is growing and HK does not respond well to that. In my case they first suggested i'd upgrade to iOS 6.1.2 (from iOS 6.0) but that clearly didn't help. Also i was asked to test the set in another room. The most hilarious suggestion was given to someone on Amazon where HK suggested they'd keep the volume up as high as possible. Obviously that didn't help.
    Testing with an older iOS5 device made it clear to me that this problem only occurs with iOS6, in every incarnation until version 6.1.2.
    It might well be that firmware on the Soundsticks can't be upgraded by a consumer but HK themselves can. I would not wait for an iOS update. As JimHdK stated there is nothing wrong with the iOS side of things. HK eventually will have to issue a callback action for this but i'm not going to wait for that. My set is going back to the store. I didn't buy a BT set for cabled use, that stinks.
    Problem remains that there are no comparable products to replace it. The sound, the looks, the stereo-effect, the price: they are still unbeatable in my view. Anyone thinking otherwise?

  • Problem Faint sound x205-SLi1 (every x205) on windows 7. harman/kardon 4.1 (drivers)

    I have a problem with sound in my x205-sli1 but the same (harman kardon speaker 4.1) are in evry x205 model. I had a win XP and sound was pure and spacious. After format I instaled windows 7 i instaled new Realtek Audio Drivers for WIndows 7 and sound isnt as good as it was. I seems that work only 2 bigest sperakers. Suboofer and Two other smal speaker seems not working.
    i am not alone becasuse a fount this post :"
    Last night I finished my upgrade to Windows 7, Ran the Official "Toshiba Software Installer for WIndows 7" and was initially pleased to see that nearly all my original Laptop funcaionality, from my Card Reader, to my Fingerprint scanner worked without an issue.
    This joy though was soon crushed the momment I went on youtube, and experianced my computers "New" audio fidelity.
    My Laptop came with built in Harman Kardon 4.1 speakers, and I have always been complimented by friends at how rich my sound quality was compared to other laptops they had seen.
    Now it seems that the currently most updated Realtek Audio Drivers for WIndows 7 (And for that matter Vista and XP aswell, I've tried everything) do not seem to be able to do more than just basic stero sound.
    Both my surround speakers and my Subwoofer seem to be completly ignored, and my computer now has a tinny sound to it that is rather offputting when compaired to it's previous preformance."
    PEOPLE PLEASE HELP BECAUSE I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO FIX THIS.

    I have the x205 S9810 and have noticed the same thing, Had Vista Prior with High Quality sound and then updated to Windows 7 with only Stereo. I have tried the Realtec drivers and the Toshiba Drivers and there is no diference really. I do know that the Microsoft driver does not work with the built in mic at all. My Subwoofer and surrounds are not puting out any sound and in the speaker settings there is not any setting for adding the surrounds like there was in Vista. I hope someone at Toshiba can let us know what is being done about this issue soon.

  • Harman Kardon USB Soundsticks (1st Gen) Screeching/Static

    After upgrading to 10.6/10.6.1, I now get periodic, short screeches/static on my USB Harman Kardon Soundsticks (the USB-only version), regardless of the source of sound. So playing music is definitely now intolerable.
    Anyone else experiencing USB sound related issues?
    This is the last straw for me in using USB-based speakers as I've they always "disconnected" and were no longer accessible when performing large file transfers with USB drives. Only a restart would make them accessible again. With this new issue in Snow Leopard, I'm ditching them for mini-plug based speakers.

    Don't give up +so fast+. I'm trying to find a way to lower the USB SoundSticks' volume for years now without luck. But other than that, they still work fine with 10.6.1 over here!
    I know of the static noise problem, but I only had that years ago with 10.3 and/or 10.4 and it was caused by my USB hub. Connecting them directly to my Mac worked fine and since using the following setup I never had a problem:
    MacBook Pro (had several models and PowerBooks before) - Cinema Display - Belkin USB hub - SoundSticks
    Yes, there's 2 hubs involved and it works fine. I use the somewhat older 30" Cinema Display and this Belkin hub: http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=158910

  • New ipod touch and Harman Kardon boom box:

    New ipod touch and Harman Kardon boom box:
    I must say I am very disappointed that I cannot charge my ipod while playing music anymore.
    I had no problem with all other ipod generations. Can this somehow be fixed?
    While the Harmon Kardon boom box was posted on the apple web site as recommended. And Now???
    Has anyone information regarding this issue??

    I'm having a similar problem with my new touch 3rd gen, with a Sony clock/radio/docking model ICF-CL75iP.
    No sound coming out of the speakers, and no picture or video showing on the radio's LCD screen.
    Sony replied to me that it's intended to work with any ipod touch 1st and 2nd gen but not with 3rd generation. Whose fault it is? Wrong software from Sony or Apple?
    I guess I'll try to downgrade the firmware from 3.1.2 to the previous one. If not then I'm stuck

  • Apple tv and harman kardon receiver?

    I just bought a new harman-kardon avr 247 receiver
    Problem is that when I hook up the apple tv to the hk via component video, it will only display the apple tv while rebooting? Have the avr going to my tv via hdmi which does work fine with my directv component setup?
    I also down sized the output from apple tv to 480i all the way to 1080i with same issue.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    If you have a component output then 480i should work. However, unless your TV has a 16:9 widescreen option all of the UI and videos will be distorted (people will look too tall and thin, etc.).
    My rear-projection TV supports 480i, 480p, and 1080i and it allows me to manually select the aspect ratio (either 4:3 or 16:9). If I select 4:3 on either the 480i or 480p settings the Apple TV works but I have the distortion as I previously described. However, you might want to do some searches on the internet to find a workaround for this issue (special test modes on the Apple TV).

  • Harman Kardon K 206 speakers

    I have an HP Pavilion Elite m9600t desktop computer. Everything was unplugged for a move. Now I don't know how to plug the Harman Kardon HK 206 speakers back in. There are six audio openings  on the back of the computer, with different colors. I tried plugging the light green speaker plug into the light green opening but I get no sound. Anybody know how to plug in these speakers?.

    Humecol, welcome to the forum.
    Have you checked to see if the speakers attach to the monitor?  I have seen other systems where this is the case.

  • Harman-kardon speakers

    Is it possible to use my harman-kardon speakers with my new HP monitor?  The speakers do not have USB connectors,and, i cannot plug them into the tower.  (They plugged into previous monitor.)  Is there some sort of adapter I can purchase?  Simplistic question, but major headache.

  • Harman Kardon Sound Sticks Not Working

    Hi everybody.
    I have a Harman Kardon Sound Stick speaker system hooked up to my computer, and although the light is on, it is not working.
    When I go into System Preferences and click on Sound, it is not listed.
    Can someone please give me a few suggestions for troubleshooting this problem?
    Thanks in advance for the help.

    Hi-
    The system Preferences will show the output as headphones/built-in audio. You do have the Sound Sticks plugged into the audio port?
    On one of the speakers, there are two chrome plates on either side of the port at the bottom of the speaker- one has a plus, one a minus. By touching one, or the other, you can raise, or lower the volume. make sure that you have the volume turned up, by touching the plus.

  • Harman Kardon Soundsticks & iOS 7

    The Harman Kardon Soundsticks speaker system would not function properly via Bluetooth with iOS 6. Has anyone had experience with it using iOS 7?
    Was the Bluetooth system changed in iOS 7?

  • Has any1 tried the Harman Kardon Drive + Play?

    Ok , i saw this on the apple store, i was wondering if any1 has tried it? I am almost at driving age and i am getting a new truck when i can drive and i want my nano to be incorpurated into it in a cool way. this looks cool, but i just dont know. in two years do u think it will come out with a color screen? and how does it work with the nano?

    I installed the system into my 2006 Lexus IS250. There's a grounding issue with my car when an iPod is plugged into both the auxiliary port and the power (not involving the drive+play, but wanted to let people know). I solved the issue by buying "The Silencer" by Monster, which does a good job of cutting out the feedback. The system itself is pretty good. Yeah, there are some issues with finding songs; the spring-loaded twist knob pales in comparison to the iPod scroll wheel. But with my car, I can hide everything in my center console while seeing what songs I'm playing, which beats opening the console every time I want to change a song or pick a different playlist. I previously had an iJet RF remote control, but it just wasn't as good.
    The display is small enough that it can be optimally placed. You'll have to try it out for both that and the control knob.
    Note that if you do install this, software issues will require you to downgrade your iPod software to the 2004-11-15 update until Apple can fix the problem. Search the forums for my other post.
    You have to try out this system for yourself; you can get it at Circuit City and they have a 30-day return policy. Just install it by hand in your car (don't mount anything) and see if it works first. Then, if it does, get it professionally installed; otherwise, return it.

  • The Bridge - Harman Kardon

    Here is my problem that I have submitted to Harman Kardon:
    "I have an AVR 347 coupled with The Bridge. I have an IPOD Classic 80GB
    (photo and video playback capable) but when i use it with the bridge,
    photos and videos are not playing back on my TV. The TV out on the Ipod
    is set to "enable". I use the avr for playback of all my other video
    sources. Can you help me?"
    Here is the answer:
    "Hi,
    This is a problem created by Apple. They have put specific
    chips in the new iPods that block video transfer. This was done to
    quell the rampant fabrication of "illegal" docking stations. HK has yet
    to receive confirmation to use the proper reading chip to allow this
    function. Unfortunately right not there is nothing that can be done
    until Apple gives HK this information."
    Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

    Does anyone have the wiring configuration of the iPod connector and details on how to modify an older one so that the power coming from the device goes to the USB pin? I also have a BMW connector and I know the company isn't going to update their cables, so I figured I could just cut the wire and reroute the power wire to the correct pin if I knew which wire did what.
    You will have to add a voltage regulator to reduce the voltage on the FireWire pin to 5 volts before connecting it to the USB power pin. Devices designed to charge from FireWire can handle higher voltages, such as 12 volts from a car. USB uses 5 volts, so 12 volts might damage devices designed to charge from USB.
