Abstract: For those of us that have strong memories of untangling speaker cables, Bluetooth speakers can seem like witchcraft. Plonk a pill-shaped box on your shelf, or hang it up in the kitchen, then zap your music to it with nothing more than a few swipes. No kno...
Sound quality is excellent, Good looks, Great build quality
Bluetooth only, No Airplay, Spotify Connect or Google Cast, Quite bulky for a "portable" speaker
It's hard to ignore the Go + Play's lack of features, especially when it seems that every other new speaker coming out right now offers some kind of Wi-Fi connectivity or multi-room playback. But the Go + Play does have its strengths.It's also heavy, a bi...
Open and warm presentation, Loads of bass, Detailed and dynamic,
May not suit those who crave delicacy and agility,
We enjoyed this speaker's predecessor enough to give it four stars, and you can tell the latest Go + Play is a product of the same gene pool.But this generation has added the finesse that was once lacking, making it an even better proposition.If you want...

Great portability for a large speaker, big and bold sound, powerful low-end, distinctive look, very portable for a large speaker
Unsophisticated bass, no Wi-Fi or multi-room features
Those with picky ears can poke holes in the Harman Kardon Go + Play, but it is one of the few new, sub-£250 wireless speakers to offer both the clout of a main lounge speaker and real portability. Despite being woefully lacking in the supplementary...

Great audio; easy setup; chic styling; great carry handle
Lacks AirPlay; old-fashioned battery compartment; overly large
The Harman Kardon Go+Play is a great speaker system. It offers high quality audio, easy wireless connectivity, and great volume and bass. The lack of a rechargeable battery or AirPlay sits against it (although we'd take Bluetooth over AirPlay these days)...
Practical, well designed, Video and PC connections, Lower frequencies clear and powerful
Not enough settings and functions, Higher frequencies struggle, Why no internal battery?, Disappointing remote control
We were expecting great things from this Harman/Kardon high-end dock. Unfortunately, just like JBL docks (a brand belonging to the same parent company), the Go+Play seems to be full of potential but doesn't quite make the grade....
Pointless remote hard to comprehend, remote useless as you can’t see what’s on the iPod, high-end price
This device competes at the highest level, and is well worth the relatively high price. It’s a top-class solution from audio experts, who’ve combined eye-catching design with top-notch sound technology to create a system that delivers excellen...
Beautiful and simple design, Integrated stainless steel handle in top of speaker, ~8 hours battery life, Can be used as a speakerphone, Magnificent Sound, You can link two together for HUGE sound, Ability to connect up to three Bluetooth devices at a time
Almost too large to call portable, but it can be if you need it to be; Expensive
Abstract: Harman Kardon designed a great sounding, great-looking portable speaker system with the Go + Play, but unfortunately the form hampers function. For a speaker designed specifically for the iPod (and the video iPod at that) it is a shame that accessing t...
