Harman Kardon Go + Play Micro

Despite its name, the Harman Kardon Go + Play Micro iPod dock offers strong audio performance in a not-so-small package.

Strong audio performance. Attractive Design. Can run on batteries for portability. Full iPod navigation on remote control.

Not all that travel-friendly given its large size. Requires eight C-size batteries to operate without AC power.

Harman Kardon Go + Play Micro review: Harman Kardon Go + Play Micro

Harman Kardon Go + Play Micro

The Go + Play Micro's stunning design, iPhone compatibility, video output, and a remote control add up to one classy boom box.

No built-in radio, underpowered speakers, and a high price hold the Go + Play Micro back from greatness.

Harman Kardon resurrects its premium boom box, but skimps on some of the features and sonic details that made the original so exceptional.

Harman Kardon Go + Play Micro

There is something about an iPod dock these days that suggests that it can no longer be just about the speaker. There has to be some design element added in order to make it stand out from the crowd, whether that be a different shape or an innovative...

Good sound, flash design, well built, portable thanks to battery option

You might think the design is ugly, lacks bass like the B&W Zeppelin

We like the Harman Kardon Go + Play Micro iPod speaker dock for its simplicity and its kooky design. While that design is something that is likely to polarise fans - you'll either love it or think it's ugly - we personally think it really has enough...

Harman Kardon Go + Play Micro

There may be nothing micro about this dock or its price, so does it perform or is just another overpriced dock?

Personally, I love this dock for the quality of sound it provides. I also like the video output function, although I really don’t know how often I will use it. But I hate the fact that it’s not loud enough for my liking. I also don’t like the ‘Micro’...

Harman Kardon Go + Play Micro review

(If it looks familiar, that's because the Harman Kardon Go + Play Micro is the smaller sibling of the company's 2006 Go + Play system) The unit's sleek lines, minimal buttons, and black plastic with metal accents all contribute to its modernness, but...

The Harman Kardon Go + Play Micro is attractive, sounds very good, and is straightforward to use. The unit’s bulk and cost are the two biggest factors to consider before you buy, but its sound and design will not disappoint.

Good design, not build to last.

For this price in that year probably the best thing you could buy. But after a party last month subwoofer alomost dissolved. After dismanteling it i discoverd the subwoofer material is already decaying after few years of owning it. The cone rubber is...

Versitile good sound.

Bad bluetooth pairing. Subwoofer tears itsself apart after few years

Harman Kardon Go+Play Micro Speaker System for iPhone & iPod (Black)

Although it is not as loud as I expected, the sound quality is what I was looking for. I have been shopping around for a while and this has been perfect for me.

excellent sound, could be louder, easy to use. We plug our kindle fire in and stream Pandora in the back yard.

Harman Kardon Go+Play Micro Speaker System for iPhone & iPod (Black)

I really like the dock but the width of the guide for the ipod is not adjustable. This means that one's selection of ipod case is restricted. The Otterbox defender will not fit without cutting the guide on the dock.
