The Harmon Kardon Allure delivers 360-degree sound, and has Amazon Alexa functionality “baked in” negating the need for an Echo Dot (currently the favored way to extend Alexa to a decent speaker).

The Allure also brings ‘ambient lighting’, which means it will glow and react to both your voice commands and the music that you play through the speaker.

The all new JBL outdoor speaker that’s seriously impressive.

“We’re excited, to integrate with Amazon Alexa to deliver a beautiful speaker with astounding audio coupled with all the intelligent features of Alexa,” said Harman’s Michael Mauser.

“Research shows the number one use of digital voice services is music streaming and Allure with its premium sound quality, iconic design, and exceptional voice-enabled technology, will produce a spectacular sound experience while delivering on our promise of elevating a connected life through smart technology.”

Australian pricing has been set at AU$400, It’s expected to be on sale on Amazon by Xmas.

Harman have also released a personal soundbar that fits round the neck. At first, I was skeptical as to how the sound got from the bar to my ears without being distorted.

All you do is Bluetooth the device into your TV and immediately you get this personal soundbar sound without anyone else in a room being able to hear the output.

Set to go on sale in Australia next year the technology is set to be ideal for big sporting events or watching a favourite movie.
