Pioneer Electronics, Onkyo combine to keep pace with competition Great brand greay price

Mission accomplished finally 😁

One of the better hifi companies out there.

Bush and Sony?? It's like choosing a Ford over a Lanborghini. Guys, Onkyo is a premium brand, whereas Sony and Bush are not.

Showing as out of stock and can be ordered on back order. Not sure if they'll restock them?

Just walk away !! (unicorn)

I don't think harltzer was.

Onkyo unknown! These are the same people who buy Morphy Richard instead of Miele because they know a ‘Richard’, good lad!

Bought online then got emailed to say they didn't have any.

Walk away.

Link to a Bush stereo amplifier? :D

179 for a knock off Chinese brand? Bush is British and much cheaper at argos.

Cos mono amplifier cost 5k. I stay with stereo underdog.

Certainly an idea, but today I've been thinking about returning the speaker. I'd be really annoyed and angered if I'd spent more than £50 on it. I'm trying to work out if I can live with it or find another use for it. If I place it in a larger room, it's not so bad, but given the space, I'd actually rather a proper hi-fi.

Worth a try.

Phone Onkyo UK support on 020 3936 8087 or complete a web support request at https://www.uk.onkyo.com/en/feature_article_en_42204.html They told me they'd had a number of support requests for the bass to be adjustable and that the more people who phone up the more likely there will be a firmware update or better still, eq sliders added to the google home app in line with Google's own smart speakers. I've established that some third party google assistant speakers do offer this functionality as well as calling so it can be done if they choose to.

It's a shame, my initial excitement for this device has diminished vastly, because this box is too boomy. Maria Carey's all I want for christmas's bouncing throbbing bass-line, is painful and the x-mas season has only just begun. I find for spoken word and podcasts I'm increasing the volume level, and still find it hard to hear. Even something like morning Radio with Chris Evans, it is difficult to hear the voice parts - but when the music comes on, it is too much. The buyers remorse has kicked in. I might attempt isolating the speaker with some spikes. This has even put me off trying to use it with Spotify etc. Which essentially leaves the Google Assistant. She's not bad company and is pretty knowledgeable so it's not all bad.

showing as £69.99 now

Not hard I would imagine, don't worry just carry on.

You’ve lost me, sorry.

Is telling someone to buy somthing which will not do the job..like a speaker with no Alexa....nice bloke.

The Onkyo trigger is a tradition of UKHD.

Nice back track me thinks.

These are as terrible as the reviews suggest - ended up taking mine back. I should have done a bit of research first as Which? said it was "one of the worst speakers we've ever tested" (although that was at 3 times the price to be fair). A 3rd gen Dot sounds a lot better than this monstrosity, not sure what Onkyo were thinking.

Just came to post this. Great deal! Considering alexa alone is £20 minimum...

The PX30 has both AUX IN and OUT, so seems like a better option is you want to connect it to something else. The GX30 doesn't have any wired connectivity, is just Chromecast over Wi-fi or directly over Bluetooth.

:)) you are definitely right!!!

GX30 (Google&Chromecast) vs PX30 (Alexa)

I saw this on promo from Richer Sounds. I thought I wanted a bluetooth speaker, and reviews indicated that this was a well made hi-fi like speaker. I didn't think I'd care for the Google Assistant stuff. Then I realised it may be the answer to my kitchen radio woes, we can't pick up DAB or normal radio as we are beside a hill, and read this would work with BBC radio. I also thought it could be handy as I've frequently got filthy hands in the kitchen, and voice control could help. Took me a while to get it going, as I don't own an Android device! And it didn't seem usable until you go through the setup process via the Google Home App. Anyway it's a fantastic little thing with a couple of small gotchas, and the best thing I've bought in years. I assume the on-board digital to analog converter is half decent in this thing. Streamed/Casted music sounds great. Seems better than the Bluetooth. It takes a while working out what the Google Assistant and Chromecast can do. You do need to link to music providers for voice controlled music search and playback. But the idea that you can select anything off of say Spotify or another service with your voice is pretty amazing. The voice controlled interface is great. At the moment I can cast from Spotify from another machine (via Chrome browser and their web player). I thought they might have crippled that functionality, but not so. It does occasionally bug out. It's a bit of an enigma quite what is supported on the device, you can get the assistant to play a podcast. (Quite from where who knows? Control for podcasts currently sucks, pause and you loose your place). You can get BBC radio, I'd rather assumed you might have entire access to iPlayer, but that doesn't seem to the the case. The main BBC radios are streamable. Other radio stations are accessible via tuneIn. Something I haven't really explored enough. The sound is nice, but it is a little boomy. It could be quite upsetting for neighbours and your family. Even at low levels. Using as a bookshelf speaker compounds this. I tried it sat on a speaker stand in our small front room (3m x 4m). With a little breathing space and it sounds nice. In the kitchen I haven't found the best placement for it yet. You instinctively want to turn it up a bit to raise the mids, but then it has too much bass. Having said that at low levels it's pleasant - good for background listening. Voices on the radio sound nice. Podcasts can sound a bit quiet, again annoyingly you want to turn up - but then the music segments flair up a little too much. It might be hard to be discrete with this speaker. Poorly produced music is really revealed on this. The speaker is portable. I've been trying to work out where to place wires, electrics etc. to double up speaker output downstairs in our house. I could save myself the agro and carry this little thing about room to room and do without all the darn cables. Some nice to haves that I haven't quite worked out if possible or not: An off button (just because I'm worried that I'll break it). To be able to rewind, bookmark and save the radio. When channel flipping, it would be nice to go back to where I was. Being able to go back and switch between things more easily would help. Not sure if it's possible to get the radio to follow me from room to room. I did ask it to stream radio locally and then to the tv, but it didn't do this simultaneously. I thought I might be able to say something like 'play latest doctor who on iplayer on tv', but currently that's not supported. YouTube is. Casting sometimes breaks for me. And the Chromecast UI can be a little awkward. I couldn't just cast from Google play, it wanted me to upload to the Cloud first - this is instinctively wrong - even if it does bring benefits. The baffle looks a little too solid. As it's a mono speaker, you do wonder if it would be better as a 360 degree speaker rather than being directional. Part of me longs for a stereo unit - a quality boom box. I'll probably lean on Google more, and look forward to improvements and other integrations with providers. I didn't think I'd be interested in using the Assistant, but I actually find the voice control quite friction-less so could be tempted to use it for calendar bookings and reminders. I'm all for improved computer accessibility. It's certainly a taste of where Google is going. And although I initially dismissed the Internet of Things I'm beginning to get it. My great Aunt could have really done with one of these when she lost her sight. We were thinking about binning home broadband and telecoms recently but this may have introduced a new dependency! I'm not the biggest Google fan politically, but at £50 this is a brilliant gadget. Edit: I'm a little bored with the sound on this speaker already after a week. I now think it could do with a more pronounced mid range. It is too boomy. It's making me want a better stereo for music. I could happily use it for the radio if the mids were higher. I've an old ghetto blaster that is easier to listen to than this speaker. So now with reflection I think you'd probably be better to just buy a boom box with an audio in, and if the Chromecast thing floats your boat, buy a Chromecast Audio and use your phone or an old phone as the assistant. Or alternatively pick up a second hand amp and small speakers for under £100 and you will have something that sounds much better. Or get a Raspberry Pi with a DACPhat. I certainly wouldn't consider these little assisted speakers at their retail price. And won't be buying any other mono speakers like these.

If you buy this once connected there is a firmware update that locks out Google for about twenty or so minutes. You will see a stream of blue lights across the front once it's accepted the firmware. I thought it had bricked but after a couple of power downs it came back on so bear with it as it takes a while. This is much better sounding speaker than the Google home

You're welcome. Choosing a speaker is a minefield.. portability, battery life, sound, size, functions etc etc. Personally I have normal Bluetooth speaker old Gear 4, a G mini, Link 10 and now this. Google assisted is my personal preference. Out of all those Link is portable and can be use on hols near pool, but sound wise the Onkyo beats them all hands down... I see they are advertising JBL link 20 ( bigger bro of Link 10) @ £89 @currys . Great sound, portable but bulky. The JBL can be linked in stereo too. 😁 Its purely down to personal choice. :/

Thanks very much. Its just wireless for music I think really, not sure how much the assistant stuff would get used. Im just struggling to find anything that seems better at this price point amid the black Friday deluge.

Hiya. That is a really down to which route she prefers to go. If it is just Bluetooth then there are alternatives available.. but the question between Google v Alexa depends in what echo system u wanna head down... https://www.trustedreviews.com/opinion/google-assistant-vs-alexa-3370865 Hope this helps..

Has anyone bought these? Interested to hear what people think off the sound quality. Not much of a maiden fan so put off by artwork but like guitar music so tempted as have read good reviews. More into indie than metal.

non-detachable cables and generic branding.....maybe at £0.49 I'd bite...

The 50 year old me is excited about these lol...I'd buy a pair if they had bluetooth.

What a price! Up The Irons!

Great deal! Just bought them! Thanks! 🤘

Yeah £300 is the limit. My current systems is an Onkyo 705 (had it since 2013 I think) but its failed so need to upgrade. Will have a look at Denon AVRX2400H. Thanks I've currently deciding between this and: Yamaha RXV483 £300 Yamaha RX-S601 £250

If £300 is your budget I'd consider the Denon AVRX2400H from richersounds (if your local has stock), or the yamaha rx-v583 from Peter Tyson. I went for the Denon in the end.

Hi guys, this or the Yamaha RXV483 listed here for £250. Thanks in advance

Yea, many of audiophile, top end guys are listening components not actual music, if you know what I mean. It's becomes hunting for perfect setup, listening room, records and so, rather than joy. That can happen with lot of hobbies.

Thanks, it looks like I need to do some more reading and spend some time in an AV shop to see what suits me best. I hate the 'research' part but hopefully I'll be able to make my mind before all these deals end :) Hobby without satisfaction? Sounds terrifying.

Are these yogurt pot lids?

You absolute legend for posting this. Just bought a pair at this price. Up the Irons

Does it works like a debit card? i.e. you wouldnt be able to get credit card points on your Amex by using Revolut? asking as i need to compare loss of airmiles vs savings on fx

Has anyone mentioned about a sofa yet? :/

The courier lost it. (fierce) They've ordered me a new one that's hopefully coming Friday.

I have just added it to my basket no issues and gone straight through to checkout ?
