The size and form factor are great. The speaker takes up very little space in a bag or can even squeeze into your pocket. The kickstand it great, allowing for the thin profile when not in use. The build looks and feels premium. Pretty solid. The leather on the back is a great touch. The sound quality is very clear and can get fairly loud. The bass is minimal as to be expected at this size. However, the sound is big enough to be satisfying in a normal sized room, office or apartment. You can't expect to "feel" the sound from such a small device. The battery charging feature is nice to have. Using the speaker as a battery pack will quickly drain the unit but still great to have. One feature that I would like to have would be the battery level indicator on my iPhone. Most speakers these days will show you the battery level of the speaker in the status bar on your iPhone. This one does not. Not a big deal but an update would be nice. Speaker phone feature sounds good on both ends of the call. Overall great product.

Love, love, love this little speaker system. The sound is excellent for my purposes and it is extremely portable because it is so small. Easy to use. The only negative thing I would say is the sound might not be loud enough if you were trying to use it at a noisy beach, or gigantic ballroom. But I use it at a Senior Center, in a large space, and the sound is outstanding for my tastes and definitely loud enough. I actually hook my old iPod Nano to this small speaker with a special purchased cord, because my iPod doesn't have bluetooth connection; other times I connect the speaker via bluetooth to my iPhone. One charge of the speaker lasts about 6 hours, altho it takes a bit of time to recharge. I also plan to play my flute along with accompanying CD music with this speaker. It can also be used as a speaker phone for your smartphone. Very versatile because of its small size/portability and great sound.

I bought this Harmon Kardon - Esquire mini speaker for my son-in-law for a gift. He is a pilot and so I needed something light that packed well in his bag. He loves it! Excellent sound that is balanced and clear. It is small, so of course the bass is not huge, although it is adequate and does sound nice. Highly recommended.
