Go + Play 3

Harman kardon go + play 3 Its similar to the boombox but more for indoor use, HK and JBL are sister companies too.

Go play 3 is the only answer but get the max for beach and travel

You speaker recommendations are pretty flawed, the harman kardon go play 3 is not a out door speaker at all because of its exposed subwoofer, and no ip ratings. The motion x600 lacks deep bass, and its high-end can become fatiguing. The soundcore flare 2 and wonder boom are small and a downgrade in soundquality to the soundcore motion +. The UE wonder boom is the best speaker youve mentioned

The Harman Kardon Go Play 3 is a great option.

If you want to use your Bluetooth speaker frequently outdoors or on the go, the Go + Play 3 is not the best choice. Its unprotected woofer at the bottom is vulnerable, it lacks a high IP rating, and its battery life is poor. However, if you only intend to use the speaker at home and portability is not a concern, there are also better options available. Just my two cents.

What do you plan to use the speaker for?

Sure, definitely opt for a stereo setup and use a wired connection. Ideally, connect your TV via HDMI ACR or at least Toslink (optical). Maybe you'll find a nice pair of active speakers. Or maybe you're feeling brave and want to look for a stereo system or a small surround sound system on the second-hand market. Or just a pair of speakers, but then you'll have to buy a small streamer amp in addition. What I would strongly advise against is a soundbar. The HK Go + Pay 3 would really not have been the optimal solution for this purpose. Good thing you asked. Maybe you could ask again at r/BudgetAudiophile.

I decided on the EarFun UBOOM X, which sounds superb for a Bluetooth speaker. It is powerful yet moderate in size and weight. It has an IP67 rating and very good battery life. Since I use it regularly outdoors – I have a high-quality stereo system at home – a portable design, good battery life, and dust and water protection are important to me. Some say that the Go + Play 3 is a stylish, great-sounding speaker intended for indoor use. However, when it comes to competing with a classic stereo system, it doesn't stand a chance. Anyone who considers the Harman Kardon Go + Play 3 to be an exceptionally good-sounding home speaker clearly doesn't have much experience when it comes to hi-fi sound.

The Harmon kardon go play 3 will go on sale every now and then for around 150-160. Definitely worth it if you can get it. It is a bigger speaker and battery life isn’t the best but the sound quality and bass for the price are great.

Harmon kardon go play 3 when it’s on sale

True, it is not very portable

I got deals for the Go + Play 3 on Black Friday 2024 ($130.00 after tax and shipping) and another deal around late October 2025 ($170.00 after tax and shipping) both were from HK store. Also snagged an Onyx Studio 7 ($70.00 after tax and shipping) around November 11 2024. Both great speakers but the Onyx 7 is considered one of the weaker of that line. The Go+ Play is probably the best BT I've ever owned.
