Harman Kardon has officially launched its Aura Studio 5. The company first unveiled the transparent Bluetooth speaker in China back in August 2025, and it is now being released in the Japanese market. So here are all the details.

Harman Kardon Aura Studio 5: What makes it special?

The known audio brand’s new Aura Studio 5 features a transparent top design that houses one of its key features, which is the new projection lighting system. This is a dynamic lighting system that offers visual effects that surround walls and ceilings. There are five ambient themes that are inspired by nature, namely Snowy Fireplace, Sunrise, Blossom, Aurora, and Ocean. Users can customize between these themes through the Harman Kardon One app, which lets you adjust the brightness as well.

This is a powerful Bluetooth speaker that has a 160W output and 360 degree sound from a 25mm tweeter, six mid range drivers, and one subwoofer. The Harman Kardon Aura Studio 5 has a frequency range of 45Hz to 20kHz, supports Bluetooth 5.4, a 3.5mm audio jack for AUX in, and stereo playback support (so one can link two Aura Studio 5 units).

The design includes a recessed waistline with touch-sensitive controls arranged in a ring layout. Harmon Kardon just launched the Aura Studio 5 in the Japanese market for 46,200 yen, which is roughly around 320 US Dollars. The wireless speaker with built-in light projection will go on sale in the region on 13th November 2025. In related news, Dreame recently unveiled the S1 and S2 Dolby Atmos soundbards, while Edifier launched the M130 retro mini speaker.
