Harman/kardon - One Portable Bluetooth Speaker - Black

Don't waste your time with the cheaper ones.; spend a tad more and reel this bad boy in! Excellent sound and battery! I use this speaker for my Mac setup at home for sound and it's a 6 out of 5 lol! Bonus is that it even takes calls with its built in Microphone!! I'm not joking I bought this to be stationary at my desk and it's been a lie; I use it in the kitchen, garage even at the grill! Do yourself a favor and forgo the cheaper junk speakers and head right for the kill shot with this one! Trust me you'll be happy!

Tough stylish construction in a nice color scheme compared to plenty of the competitors. Not as loud as some others, but this unit delivers crisp clear sounds along the entire spectrum. Simple connectivity to Bluetooth devices. Very compact. It's rectangular shape is much better for placement than comparative rounded styles, which can easily roll away. Holds a charge fairly well.

Harmon Kardon has been a great name in speakers for a long time so with the store credit, open-box status, and a weekend sale I am very happy with the bluetooth speaker and my newly enhanced HP Notebook.

This helps me a lot when Im bored. Just search on youtube my favorite song and connect it on my phone thru blutooth and ther you go! me and hubby enjoyed this, its louder. Played your dance music and feel the bit!!!

The soundbar my Android has been waiting for. Pandora and music streams now sound as clear and true as any sound system I have ever had.

Great portable speaker, it sounds amazing, clear and great battery life.

Admittedly I only found this speaker due to a sale advert by my local store - I am very happy with my purchase. Some have complained of its relatively short lifespan, this speaker packs quite the punch, to be expected from a Harmon Kardon product, I suppose. A full metal casing, and soft rubber shielding on either end, provides not only a very sleek look but also a decent sense of security in the fact that if dropped (which I have only done once, thus far) minimal damage will be sustained. Additionally, as previously mentioned this speaker has a short life span of roughly 5 hours time, from full charge at constant usage, till battery death, but the entire time will offer a crisp, and if you so desire, quite LOUD bang for the buck. I was able to grab this item on sale for 79.99 USD but even at full retail of 199.99 I would still consider the purchase. As an aside - this speaker also offers NFC chip functionality (meaning you can just "tap" a similarly NFC chip equipped Bluetooth device to connect), 1 Auxiliary 3.5MM port and includes the charging cable required to power the little beast.

This is clear-sounding speaker because it has LESS bass than most, which is better for classical music, or any music that is not dependent on overwhelming percussion. It can be powered by either its battery, or while plugged in. One big problem I have with it, is that it shuts itself down, even while plugged in, if it does not receive an audio signal after a certain amount of time. I am not sure what the time-out duration is, but it is NOT long enough to use this with a wake-up device such as an old phone when running a music app that offers such an alarm function. But it is nice to use with anything else where the sound is used on-demand like a PC, notebook, tablet, MP3 player, smart phone, etc.
