When we first saw a Harmon Karmon SoundSticks speaker system many years ago, we thought it looked weird, cool and futuristic. And all these years later, it still looks like nothing else on the market. The company is justifiably proud of the “inspiring industrial design,” and the Apple administrator who runs today’s M2 MacBook Pro setup is happy to have the speaker system filling his room with sound.

Jamf Apple administrator and Redditor moosetender showcased the amazing M2 MacBook Pro setup in a post entitled, “the work from home setup.” Jamf, by the way, is an Apple-forward device-management software company. At the end of the gear list described below Moose added, [and] “lots and lots of cables,” and “a few more iPads and MacBooks. I’m a Jamf admin, need the extras to test stuff.” He added that he manages “thousands of Mac, iPad and iPhones” in response to a question about how he uses the iPad Pro shown in the photograph.
We covered his fantastic setup — especially the powerful M2 MacBook Pro and CalDigit Thunderbolt 4 dock — in a recent post. Then we took a closer look at the endlessly wide display. Now we’ll focus on that Harman Kardon SoundSticks 4 Bluetooth Speaker System.

Though Harmon Kardon’s distinctive SoundSticks speaker systems originally date back to legendary Apple designer Jony Ive’s wired version in 2000, HK kept the look for the whole run and we still see them from time to time. Moose has SoundSticks 4, the newest version.
The company describes Harman Kardon SoundSticks 4 as a “timeless icon.” Here’s more of its description of the 140-watt system:
