Harman Kardon Luna and Go+Play, both. And if you can 2 moons better

Two Bluetooth speakers linked into a stereo pair. Which can sound very surprisingly good. Hell, I was at a funeral where they didn't really have a sound system in the old stone church, they stood up a Harman Kardon Go + Play (a single) to play a requested piece of music and it was shockingly capable even in that space.

HK obv goes lower with higher decibels on low frequencies but loudness is almost the same besides the bass.

I only have one which is the Hk go play 2

I compared the sound of the boombox 3 and the HK, and I chose the HK because it sounds more refined. The HK also goes deeper without sounding harsh at maximum volume, unlike the boombox 3.

Very nice! I still have the first version of the Harman Kardon Go + Play series, and it’s still amazing — it still sounds better than most of the latest Bluetooth speakers.

Harman Kardon Go + Play and don’t look back

The Harmon Kardon Studio and Go play speakers have a fat low end and go on sale for much less than the Brane. Good "indoor" speaker but not as tough as JBL/Soundcore/Bose designs.

Harmon Kardon Go Plus Play is highly regarded as one of the top "indoor" battery powered bt speakers. (Better than Bose soundlink max). Bose micro 2 is very compact and I think it sounds great at low levels. The recommendation for a pair of Tribit Lavas is also good but they are hefty mid sized boomboxes.

In a closed place like a bedroom you don't need big things like that! I think that even a go does the job at home, but for a meeting I think a Flip-Grip is already good too, among these I prefer the play
