I have been using Sonodyne since 1992, and I love their products. My only drawback with this product is it doesn't have Airplay enabled. These days we use airplay to stream music on multiple devices, which is where it fails. I wish airplay could be enabled; then it is worth every penny.

To All those who find Bose, Marshall, Sonos, Denon and JBL to be Paragon of Fine Sound, here we have “Made in India” product SONODYNE MALHAR. I got mine delivered today (As per promised timeline) Malhar introduces itself as an Underdog in the race BUT trust you me, It has to be taken Seriously and Sincerely. I won’t go Ga Ga about the specifications which are already available on the sites BUT what I wish to mention is.. - Excellent packing which is extremely travel worthy. Unpacking it was quite a satisfactory experience. - The product availability follow up with SONODYNE team was really professional. Being it Ayush or Shankar Bannerjee. Staff is coordial and helping in nature. - Talking of Sound, It ACTUALLY delivers to the Hype around it. Sound is Crisp with good work being done on Lows and High’s. It’s finely tuned for Indian music scenario’s and listening habits. - Technically speaking, Loudness is dynamic without compromising on clarity in mid’s. Its USP is wooden cabinet (I SWEAR), which is way ahead of plastic speakers. Malhar is rendering CRISP sound. That “Wooden” Sound is BEST feature of this speaker. Its massive 8kgs weight make it feel like a Masculine product and must be helping in delivering 180W sound flawlessly. - It’s a Speaker with a good aesthetics with the semi gloss finish and huge speaker cones with controls on the top giving it up market feel. - At modest 35k, its a steal deal considering the Sound Quality it’s providing. It’s in competition with products worth 80k - 1L Its not about any Negatives, But everything has some scope of improvements, per my understanding following are the improvement pointers for the speaker to make it a Market leader. - Remote need to be in sync with the speaker in terms of quality. - The additional features will add to the charm like HDMI connectivity, some App based controls like Marshall for better sound controls. - Some basic display screen to show current volume, song name etc. - Do plan to launch a portable speaker with battery based set up. Trust you me, I’ll be the first one to buy. No show stoppers otherwise. All in All One of The Finest product available in market which is at par with the old market leaders and best part is it’s A Proud Indian product. ????

 I got the product and I already have a Marshall Stanmore 2 which I thought was gonna be way better. After listening to the Sonodyne Malhar I can confidently say that the Sonodyne Malhar is louder, and it is way clearer and it doesn't have any flaws in my opinion when compared to the Marshall Speakers

Delivering an excellent quality sound clarity and has become a very own and soothing music companion from the very day I received it from Amazon. It has been one of my family members , now. Thanks a lot to SONODYNE & wish them my best ......

Amazing and neutral clarity Literally blown by the sound quality. My first Sonodyne. Can't belive I never bought this brand before. Clean and impressive

The product is simply mind-blowing. Awesome performance - actoss genres. It more than meets my expectations, every time i switch on.

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.

"OUTSTANDING OF OUTSTANDING" THIS PRODUCT. I think the last quality of the SOUND is MALHAR. I am very proud to be using this product. Salute to SONODYNE company for this.

Excellent music experience

After a lot of research I settled on Sonodyne Malhar. FIrst piece I got was damaged. I initiated the return. But surprisingly within 1 hour I got a call from Ayush, from Sonodyne. The rest of the story won't fit in this space, but hats off to the staff of Sonodyne especially Mr Ayush, I finally got a product at my home without any scratch. Believe me this is the best customer care I've ever received in my entire life. Thanks to Mr Ayush and all other supporting staff of Sonodyne. The impact is such that i won't think about buying an audio product from any other company from now onwards. The pros.....Speaking about the sound, this is the product for us.... It has got mind blowing Highs and Mids, and Thumping Lows. I must say it excels when it comes to playing Indian music which the greats in the field lacks. And the wooden cabinet...no words...Good sound comes from good wood as they say....so true.... The cons... Well nothing on the sound quality, just a few simple suggestions...in the next updates u can think of an off timer since I wish to sleep while hearing music, so it will be a helpful feature for ppl like me. And of course a small display. But these are too minute when compared to the sound you provide. Once again thanks to Ayush and other support staff of Sonodyne for giving me an opportunity to have a feel of this awesome product. God bless u all...Thank you

During my School Days I used to listen to a Tape Recorder, After that, didn’t find anything to enjoy music, Having the Sonodyne Malhar, is like that Having my Childhood Back, Thank You Sonodyne.

Proud to be Indian manufacturing company Sonodyne stands at the Internationally. Sound quality is great, Music like live concerts, Bass might high for some areas while playing movies, overall satisfying to my needs in one product. Value for money considering International products which are in the range of 50k

After a demoing a lot of Bluetooth speakers from JBL, Bose, Marshall, Sonos etc., I finally ordered the Sonodyne Malhar based on Sonodyne’s rich history around making world class studio monitors. Was a bit apprehensive as I could not get a demo of this before the purchase. Excitedly waited for it to be delivered. Rushed home on the day of delivery. Immediately opened it and switched it up. Setup was fuss free and done in a minute. Played a few classic rocks on it. Was blown away by the quality of the vocals and instruments that could be heard with great clarity. Not unnaturally bass heavy like most other speakers. Studio quality sound. Perfect to enjoy an evening with friends and family. It took 2 days for the speaker to settle in. Enjoying different genres on it now. Grab one now as stocks are very low.

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.

My family has owned high-fidelity sound systems since the 1980s; therefore, I am well versed in hi-fi sound. I was initially skeptical of Malhar due to its Class D amplification system. In my mind, I was always sure you could not produce high-fidelity sound without Class A or Class AB amplification, but to my surprise, Sonodyne has done a remarkable job in the Class D segment results, Malhar. I have tried and tested several Bluetooth speakers, home theatre speakers, and sound bars manufactured by various well-known rewound brands, but none of them even come close to Malhar. 99% of these brands produce a sound with heavy bass and almost no midrange. Even the bass that they produce is out of control; there is no preciseness in it. Malhar has done an excellent job here, and passive radiators, in particular, add a lot of punch with Sonodyne's usual clear midrange. Malhar is probably the only speaker that has a piano-finish body in this price segment; all the other brands are giving you relatively cheap plastic, and sometimes it's not even ABS. If you really want a classy, premium-quality speaker, go for Malhar.

Went through many high ends, some had extra base some had extra irritating treble sounds, Though wanted to hear first but was not able to do so and gambled with Sonodyne's MALHAAR after going through reviews and it payed me quite well. I was surprised by the soothing sound quality, balanced , subtle sound effects in the compact design ????. Not only for music MALHAAR is going fine with with TV also . Going to buy one more MALHAAR in few days to pair it up with with the current one????????.

Sonodyne is the age old Indian loudspeaker brand of the 80s and 90s that we grew up listening to vinyl and tapes. Known for excellent build quality and exceptional sonic performance, these loudspeakers delivered rich studio-like sound without breaking the bank. In todays era of synthetic bass and tinny treble emanating from plastic loudspeakers, the Malhaar truly stands out! Vintage sound quality with the convenience of playing your favorite streaming service, I was truly blown away by the richness and clarity of sound. Like an excited kid, I played through my favorites and found the same timbre and tonality as expected from a studio monitor! Grab one before it sells out!

Connected it to my Phone in the hall and played the 1st song.. And man I was in Awe. Continuing the legacy of Sonodyne, the speaker didn't fail impress. The highs are sharp, mids are crystal clear and lows are thumping. No distortion at any volume. Plus what I loved about is its simplicity. No complicated process to setup and the speaker knows what to do without your help. I ended up listenening to it the whole day. The Wooden built and premium looks complements the interior of my house AWESOME.

During my School Days I used to listen to a Tape Recorder, After that, didn’t find anything to enjoy music, Having the Sonodyne Malhar, is like that Having my Childhood Back, Thank You Sonodyne.

Very soulful sound. I am quite satisfied with its performance.

Have grown up always envying of owning a Sonodyne.Bose was not so widely available in the 70/80's and used to be frightfully expensive. But now after so many years I had the opportunity to own one ....a dream fulfilled. Like an excited teenager I listened to it till 12.30 pm yesterday forcing some of my neighbours to sleepless night... marvelous experience , just what I was wanting. Thanks

Simply brilliant. Outstandingly clear and outsmarts many famous foreign brands in its catagory. I am extremely happy that I chose Malhar.

The speaker make and feel is classy. The name plate looks simple and cheap like a monogram stuck on the cabinet. Better the name would have been embossed in golden shade would have given it still better look. The punch or thump is less than what I expected from a 35000 only speaker. Long back I use to own the Sonodyne stereo system which had a stereo amplifier with equilizer, cassette layer which use to sound mind blowing. What I wanted to say was that 35000 is big price am paying for a Bluetooth speaker only. A stereo amplifier with two speakers cost nearly the same but will sound bigger. Sorry if I have hurt someone. Tried to be as Frank as possible.

Audio quality of Malhar is outstanding and fantastic.

Sonodyne just launched its latest speakers - the Sonodyne Malhar. The name Malhar is based on Raga Malhar, believed to have the power to evoke thunder and rain. Sonodyne speakers are used by some of the world's most respected studios and concert venues. What makes them so unique and globally appealing? We find out.

Since its inception in the early 70s, Sonodyne is a company that has been at the forefront of the innovative Indian professional audio market
