Sonodyne Malhar 180Watts Handmade Wooden Wireless High Fidelity Music System & Bluetooth Speaker with Pristine Stereo Clarity, Optical, USB and AUX Connectivity, Duet Mode with Remote Control, White

Ever since I was a kid, I had a fascination with speakers. I loved listening to music and I remember visiting my neighbor’s house just to listen to their Sonodyne system, I think it had a turntable but now not so sure, that was the best thing I had ever heard, in my kid head. It was like magic to me!I always wanted to own a Sonodyne speaker someday, but life got in the way and I never got around to it. I wasn't even sure if they made consumer speakers anymore. But I always had huge respect for the brand, and the Mukherjees just like the Bose family, two iconic audio brands with Indian roots. Then recently, I stumbled upon an YouTube video on Bandish, and then found this Malhar. I read some reviews, was very impressed and immediately decided to buy the Malhar. Childhood dream come true!It arrived in a solid packaging in about 6 days and I was eager to set it up. It was very easy to do so, as it came with clear instructions and all the necessary stuff. Bluetooth connectivity was good and conveniently paired with my phones and other devices.I turned it on and played some of my favorite songs. And wow. It was like being transported back to my childhood. The sound quality was amazing. The high build quality shines through the rich and detailed sound that filled the room. The bass was deep but not overwhelming like dj boxes, the mids were clear and balanced, and the highs were crisp and bright.I listened to some fantastic hi-res tracks from different genres, such as Hotel California by Eagles, Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen, Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin, Billie Jean by Michael Jackson, some good hi res symphony tracks and of course Tagore instrumenals. Each sounded like a new experience with Sonodyne Malhar. It was like listening to them for the first time!The speaker also worked well with my TV and other devices using an aux cable. I watched some movies and shows with it and enjoyed the immersive sound effects. I hardly needed subtitles anymore!The remote control was functional and easy to use. I think it does the job. I am yet to feel like any need for bass control. The balance and tuning is perfect the way it is.The only thing I haven’t tried yet is connecting it with Google Home using DLNA6 (Digital Living Network Alliance), which is supposed to enable wireless streaming of music from any device on the same network. But I’m sure that will work fine too.I am glad that I purchased the white box. It goes really well with my tv area (you can see my nest speakers, Sony home theatre and ps5, oh yes, playing games is too good, very realistic sound effects).Sonodyne Malhar is truly a childhood dream come true for me. It is the best speaker I have ever owned or heard. It has brought back the joy of listening to music for me. If you are looking for a speaker that combines nostalgia with modern technology, and sounds like a million bucks, look no further than Sonodyne Malhar.

Great sound quality, wide sound stage, amazing mids and highs. Works great for everything that doesn't need a subwoofer like hip hop for example. A little bigger than I expected but solidly built and safely packaged.Much better than imported speakers in this price range like Marshall, Bose, Denon and Sonos. Great value.

Excellent sound quality both low & high notes, crispy crystal clear sound. Recommended for indoor use.I loved the sound. BT connectivity is good no lag.The design of the speaker could have been better compared to those of foreign brands available

The media could not be loaded. I have very high expectations from this product. But this underperforms. My edifice 1280db sounds better than this in case of clarity. Not recommended.Better buy some good studio monitor pairs.Codec support not mentioned ???I tested it with BTR3 AAC codec but sound quality is same.Not recommend.

I have used Marshall Woburn-2 bought in January but didn't find suitable quality and I have been using Sonodyne product since last 30years with first bought product was Uranus so I sold Marshall after incurring a loss of Rs. 10K and bought Malhar after putting in 5K more but no regrets. I am very happy by its performance and it is the best product made in India🇮🇳 if compared to cost vs performance to Bose and Marshall

I have always been a fan of sonodyne.. and the Malhar was real music to the ears literally and has made me realise that even streamed music can be worth the while and not just time pass listening … every note every beat come alive and engrosses you as a music lover

Crystal clear audio with great bass and a calming white colour. The design of Malhar is quite unique and fantastic and is definitely worth the buy. The audio quality for such a compact device is just mind-blowing. Loved the Malhar.

Worlds most sophisticated sound systems produce every details of music, balance between bass and treble is superb and also its design is rich in Indian traditions and world class looks.
