Harman Kardon Go + Play 3

he Harman Kardon Go + Play 3 is a high-end portable Bluetooth speaker that artfully blends sophisticated design with powerful, immersive audio performance. It’s a successor in a line known for its distinctive aesthetics and robust sound.

Aesthetically, the Go + Play 3 features a familiar, iconic shape but is updated with a modern tempered glass-top touch panel that is both responsive and intuitive. The speaker grille is woven from 100% recycled polyester yarn, and the sleek, sturdy handle is crafted from 90% recycled aluminum, demonstrating Harman Kardon’s commitment to using recycled materials in its construction. This elegant design makes it a beautiful addition to any room.

Audio performance is where the Go + Play 3 truly shines. It boasts a sophisticated three-way speaker system that includes a down-firing 5-inch subwoofer for deep, thunderous bass, dual tweeters, and mid-range drivers. This configuration delivers a detailed, clear stereo soundstage with flawless vocal and instrument reproduction, and an additional front-mounted passive radiator enhances the punch of the bass. With an impressive 160W RMS output, it’s capable of filling large spaces with rich, dynamic sound. A smart “auto self-tuning” feature ensures optimal sound quality wherever the speaker is placed, as it automatically calibrates to its new surroundings every time it’s powered on.

The Go + Play 3 is highly portable thanks to its built-in rechargeable battery, providing up to 8 hours of continuous music playtime (depending on volume level and content). This allows users to easily move it from room to room or take it outdoors for gatherings. It features Bluetooth 5.2 for seamless wireless music streaming, allowing connection to up to two mobile devices simultaneously for shared playlists. A convenient USB charging port is also included, so you can charge your mobile device while streaming. Dual far-field microphones are integrated, ensuring crystal-clear voice clarity for hands-free calls, even if you’re not directly next to the speaker. For an even more expansive audio experience, two Go + Play 3 speakers can be wirelessly paired for true stereo sound.

While durable in its build, it’s important to note that the Go + Play 3 is not waterproof or ruggedized like some other portable speakers, so care should be taken when using it outdoors or near water. Its primary strength lies in delivering high-fidelity audio with a premium design, making it an excellent choice for home use, parties, or any setting where superior sound is desired.
