Harman Kardon Go+Play Mini 2 - Portable Bluetooth Speaker - Black

I ordered my Harman Kardon Go+Play back in February of 2018 and have been using it for almost four years. Quality: The build and overall quality of the speaker is fantastic. It's hefty and sturdy. The look is contemporary, minimal and slick. Portability-wise, it's better suited to being placed in your home and not really an on the go backpack speaker. Sound: The sound is fantastic. The bass is deep and convincing and the overall range from highs to lows is great. I have it under some cabinets in our kitchen and pair it with Spotify on my iPhone. The equalizer in Spotify allows for decent adjustments for the room. Again, the thing sounds really amazing with zero connectivity issues. Longevity: About 8 months ago, I started having problems with recharging/resetting the speaker and the same issues you'll read about here. HOWEVER, all Lithium Ion batteries die eventually. Most last around 400 or so charges. Search "lithium ion battery lifespan". After a couple years the battery was dying. So, I reached out to Harman Kardon and requested that they repair the unit for a fee. Unfortunately, customer service said that they could only give a discount of 30 or 40% on a future purchase. :( So instead... Replace the Battery: I'm not a handy guy but this was pretty straight forward. You'll need a thin phillips head screwdriver, a battery, an instructional online video and about an hour. Search "eyeglass mini screwdriver set" and "Harman Kardon Go Play battery". My total was around 30 bucks. After I changed the battery the thing didn't work until I checked the HK website and searched until I found the bit about pressing all five buttons. Boom! Overall: The Go Play is so great. I paid under $200 for it back in 2018. There is a lot of junk out there, so I like having stuff in my life that can be fixed and used for years to come. Highly, highly recommend!

This is the husband and this is a great product and sounds amazing for $200. Way better than any Bose or other typical bluetooth speaker in this price range. It has two real silk dome tweeters, two 3.5 inch mid bass drivers with huge magnets, and two passive radiators to increase lower bass. They spent a few bucks on quality parts. Clean, clear, and good balanced sound that you would expect from a real stereo set up. The bass is a little prominent but hits with a good slam that you don't get with other boomy products. If it is too much, then just move it away from the wall to reduce that if it suits your taste. Hey its basically a boom box, so I like it like it just the way it is. Some complain about the battery life, but it takes juice to put out this kind of quality sound. If you want battery life, get a UE Megaboom. They last forever (20 hrs), sound great in their own rite, but are in a different league sound wise. Have and enjoy both. The UE is great to travel with and obviously much more portable. Drops in your suite case or backpack without any hassle. Finally, any of the lower star reviewers who say that it doesn't sound that good, just don't know what they are talking about. Been around the audio business for decades, and this is a little gem. For $400 there are a lot of choices out there, but at half price and $200, it is probably the best value for quality sound right now until they are all gone.

I consider myself somewhat of an audiophile. Mind Blown! The sounds out of this little thing is impressive. Zero distortion! Just the right amount of bass. Mids and Highs are just right. This thing shines at about half volume and is perhaps one of the best Bluetooth speakers I've heard. Full volume it lowers the bass because it gets so friggin loud the woofer can no way keep up and that's ok. Half volume is the sweet spot and half volume is VERY loud. I have a multitude of bower and Wilkins speakers, definitive tech speakers, JBL xtreme, Charge 3 (ipx7 waterproof) and even Burmeister in my Porsche which in my opinion produces the most perfect sound. My point is, I'm not afraid and will spend on sound. This is the benchmark for portable, compact, sub-$800, wireless speaker.

OK first thing first this speaker looks FANTASTIC and the sound I think is VERY good not perfect but really good that's why only 4 or maybe 4.5 stars just shy of perfect. If the sound was crystal clear it would be 5 stars its not crystal clear at high volumes at least to my ears. Battery life/issues. I think I have solved the charging and battery life issues. 1) My unit charges relatively fast I watched each light as it charged. When it was on the 4th light (there are 5) I got distracted when I came back it was on the 2nd light. That's when it hit me. Once this unit charges it doesn't stop it starts the charging process again and recharges. I confirmed this when I unplugged the unit and all lights lite up confirming a full charge. In addition, from the reviews I believe once charged you should keep it unplugged until low and not leave it on the charger. I believe this model might be similar to old cell phones that would burn out after overcharging. To summarize great product for the money, very good sound great look and portable. I only had the product for about a month so I'll update my review if something goes wrong. Enjoy!!!!!! I LOVE MINE 😉

This thing sounds crystal clear and is loud as hell! I’ve had several other blue tooth speakers like the W King 100 and JBL flip 5 and this easily beats them in sound quality and bass clarity. It’s not gonna thump you around like the bigger party bass boxes out there but for it’s sz there’s nothing comparable on the portable blue tooth speaker market that can beat this. I’ve had the HK Onyx and was impressed w the sound quality on that but the go play is like having 2 of those going at once. Great speaker. Definitely worth the money and I will definitely recommend this to friends and family. I mainly use it in my Garage for working out and when I tell you it’s set at half sound and it sounds loud I’m not lying to you.

It’s HK.. better sound than jbl xtream2 but that has other facilities like water proof , higher battery back up but sound quality is not that nice , put extra 3000 rp u will get hk which has super sound quality but less battery back up , not a water proof. Every product on this grade has some flaws and some good ... pay more get more features.. that’s u have to understand...

I found it to be as advertised--good overall response through bass(very good), mid-range, and treble. It is also smaller than the older version and easier to carry. It easily fills fairly good-size rooms with plenty of high quality sound.

Muy buen sonido con los bajos perceptibles sin distorsión.

Excelente calidad del sonido de la bocina estoy 100% satisfecho con la compra

Very good product
