Harman Kardon Go + Play review: Post-retro design, powerful audio

Posted on July 21, 2016August 27, 2023 By Jarvis

Can a wireless speaker already be retro? Weirdly enough, that’s what theHarman Kardon Go + Play feels like. There’s something refreshing about how out-of-step it is.

As a large wireless speaker it totally ignores the trend for every speaker larger than a matchbox to have Wi-Fi and Sonos-impersonating multi-room chops. So while such feature absences make it a wireless speaker dinosaur, it’s exactly this style that lets it pack in an 8-hour battery and sound much larger than you otherwise tend to get at the price.

Harman Kardon Go + Play review: Design

The Karman Kardon Go + Play isn’t a brand new line. Its daddy was released years ago, back when speakers used to have physical docks you’d plug your iPhone or iPod into. Those were the days, eh?

As you’ll only usually find such a dock on the bedside table of a hotel room nowadays, Harman Kardon has ripped it out of the new model. This is aBluetooth speaker, pure and simple.
