Expert review by : What Hi-Fi? (whathifi.com)
A powerful, portable wireless speaker that's an admirable improvement over the original
Open and warm presentation ; Loads of bass ; Detailed and dynamic
May not suit those who crave delicacy and agility
The Harman Kardon Go + Play’s tenderness and controlled aggression make it the yardstick for £250 portable speakers

Harman Kardon Go+Play Wireless: is good sound good enough?
Nice and portable ; Decent looks ; Better sound
No rechargeable battery ; No AirPlay ; Takes up room
Expert review by : What Hi-Fi? (whathifi.com)
A great Bluetooth speaker with big bass and an easy-to-live-with sound
Detailed, agile treble and midrange ; Huge power ; Lovely design ; Charges via USB
Bass overwhelms a little ; Will not play via USB connection
If it’s big bass and an easy-to-live-with sound you’re after, this is a great Bluetooth speaker. But if you crave finesse, you can do better

If you want a stylish, well made portable iPod dock with bags of bass, Harman Kardon's Go + Play will fit the bill
Attractive looks ; fine build and finish ; spacious, dynamic and full-blooded sound
Low frequencies sound at odds with the rest of the music ; needs eight batteries to be portable
A superior portable solution, with bass that can be heard across a Glastonbury field
Expert review by : Andrew Williams (pocket-lint.com)
Can a wireless speaker already be retro? Weirdly enough, that's what the Harman Kardon Go + Play feels like. There's something refreshing about how out-of-step it is. Those with picky ears can poke holes in the Harman Kardon Go + Play, but it is one of...
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.

Plug in an iPod, hoist it on your shoulder and strut. Yes, this is the ghetto-blaster, revisited…

Harman Kardon's Go+Play Wireless speaker system is a big, stylish speaker with great audio. It connects via Bluetooth but lacks AirPlay.
Expert review by : paul_smart (gadgetspeak.com)
This is the only product I have so far received from my visit to CEDIA in June this year. Of course some promises always fail to materialise but this year is worse than normal. However this product took my eye as I walked past their stand.
I am no style guru but it certainly looks stylish to me and most people who have seen it have commented on it. 44cm across a maximum of 18cm wide and 25cm tall to the top of the large chromed handle that sweeps in a semi circle from one side to the...

Harman Kardon has a long-standing relationship with Apple and the Harmon Kardon Go + Play iPod speaker system stands to compete with many high-end makers, as it offers great sound, design and features to match. But what's its Achilles heel?
Excellent sound, unique design, loads of features ; high-end product that's lightweight
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 excellent music...
Expert review by : Andrew Kliem (goodgearguide.com.au)
Great bass, detailed mid-range, rich sound, powerful remote, handle makes for great portability
Dock placement is poor, slightly rolled-off low treble notes, no bass or treble controls
Harmon Kardon's Go + Play is a brilliant high-end iPod dock. Its audio is well balanced and almost flawless. The design has one niggling issue, but the large, sturdy handle certainly adds to the unit's portability
