Review on Portable acoustics Harman/Kardon Go Play Mini, 100 W, white by Stanislaw Sipko ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fits the description completely, very satisfying.

If you're thinking about getting an inexpensive source of music for your apartment or home - don't hesitate - Harman/Kardon Go + Play Mini will satisfy you more than. You will get a real, "adult" sound for ridiculous money (about 14000r), besides, it is also mobile - from a phone, laptop, no problem. Believe me, up to 20,000. You will not buy anything like this even in a stationary version.

Pros
  • The sound quality is at the level of many times more expensive acoustics. At home, I compared Harman with my Marantz PM6005 + DALI IKON 2 system for 100 and I want to say that Harman looks worthy against her background - they can already be compared, it feels like they sound similar, and an unprepared person may not even be able to tell which is better if you turn it on not via Bluetooth and from a high-quality source (I turned it on from FiiO X5 II via AUX). JBL and SONY sound so much worse than DALI IKON that they cannot be compared - even a deaf person will immediately distinguish them. They are just from another category - "boombox". Harman's sound is detailed, even, the basses are slightly raised, but at a low volume this is even a plus, the mids are perfect, the highs are clear and transparent - it's nice to listen to. The speaker allows you to distinguish by ear the quality of the source (phone or player FIIO X5 II), connection via Bluetooth or AUX can also be distinguished (naturally AUX is better). I prefer jazz, but rock and trance sound great too. Perfectly fills the space - whether you are sitting in front of the speaker next to or at a distance to the side, the sound will be the same, soft, and will not cut out the brains of the person sitting next to you. Easily cope with scoring a room of 20 sq. M. Compact size for such a spacious, powerful and clear sound. A serious power supply with a normal connector (similar to laptops). The design is chic, the upholstery is made of premium quality fabric. Unattainable price / quality ratio (JBL and SONY are not so much cheaper, but worse)
Cons
  • At high volume, the battery lasts only a couple of hours. The volume during battery operation is lower than when using the AC adapter. It may seem big and heavy to some - indeed, the column is not suitable for putting it in a backpack, running with it, etc. Not suitable for pouring beer, throwing in the pool - NOT waterproof. Addition: So this fate befell me - for no apparent reason the battery died. It turned out that this is the weak point of this column - the batteries do not withstand more than 2 years of operation. You can replace it yourself, but it’s difficult - a complete disassembly is required, and buying a new good quality battery is a big problem. Therefore, many s replace them with non-native batteries.
