Sound sticks have been on the market for over 23 years – in different versions. The iconic speakers from the supplier Harman Kardon were once developed together with Apple and, among other things, fit well with the Power Mac G4 Cube, but have also remained popular with other Macs. The 2.1 speakers are equipped with a powerful subwoofer and two satellites, each with four tweeters.
Announcement
red instead of white
After the manufacturer Harman Kardon has already updated the audio sticks four times over the decades, most recently in 2020, however not (any longer) for the European market – have now been reissued in a special edition in collaboration with the fashion label Supreme, but have already sold out again. This is the site from the brand popular with hipsters and skaters. As a result, it was a reworked version of Soundsticks 4, the current generation. This is Bluetooth enabled and is usually identified by white tweeter and woofer components.
The Supreme version, on the other hand, has a total of eight tweeters in typical Supreme red, plus a red woofer with large Supreme lettering. Technically nothing changes: The system is available in a 2.1 configuration and can be addressed via Bluetooth. According to the manufacturer, the system has an output of 140 watts and weighs just under 4.4 kilograms.
Drop already done
Supreme has launched its Soundsticks 4 as part of the Fall/Winter 2023/2024 collection. It was priced at $400 (or £360), which was $100 more than the standard variant. However, as usual, it was extremely difficult to get hold of the product. It was made as part of the recent “drops” of the label Available for pre-order last week.
With drops, countless interested parties try to place an order at a specific time. Many of the products, especially those with a flashy Supreme logo, then go into the gray trade and are sometimes offered at double or triple the price. It should be no different with the Soundsticks 4. After the ongoing delivery, they should soon be listed on the corresponding pages. If you absolutely (still) want to have it, you have to pay extra.
