Beautiful sound in a pristine package.
Breathtakingly beautiful, the Harman Kardon Go + Play™ Wireless loudspeaker is designed to bring the best out of your digital music and look fabulous doing it. Its HARMAN TrueStream™ guarantee assures you of the highest-quality wireless sound from any Bluetooth® device, including the iPad mini, iPad (4th generation), iPhone 5, iPod touch (5th generation) or iPod nano (7th generation). Featuring advanced dual high-frequency transducers and dual high-excursion, low-frequency drivers, the Harman Kardon Go + Play Wireless produces great clarity with deep, thunderous bass. Its highly attractive design is sure to complement any environment. But this beauty isn’t designed to sit in one place all the time. Its sleek, stainless-steel handle lets you take beautiful sound with you wherever you go. For nearly 60 years, Harman Kardon® engineers have designed some of the world’s most sought-after speaker and amplification systems for home and car audio – including the only speaker system to become a permanent fixture at New York City’s Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). In a continuing effort to turn personal audio into true works of art, Harman Kardon technologists and artisans now deliver powerful sound in a pristine, wireless package: the Harman Kardon Go + Play Wireless.
The Go + Play Wireless streams high-quality audio from the iPad mini, iPad (4th generation), iPhone 5, iPod touch (5th generation) or iPod nano (7th generation). So no matter which Apple device you use, you’ll enhance your favorite music with beautiful sound from Harman Kardon.
Let’s face it, most of our audio devices are Bluetooth-capable. And we’re not using them just for music; we’re watching movies and playing games as well. You can connect your Bluetooth-enabled devices such as your tablet, phone and laptop to the Harman Kardon Go + Play Wireless and get superior sound quality from all of your audio sources.
HARMAN TrueStream tech guarantees the best possible listening experience when you stream audio wirelessly via Bluetooth connection. Our products always use the most current, most advanced wireless technology option to ensure the highest-quality sound, no matter what application or source device you use.
The high-performance Harman Kardon Go + Play Wireless loudspeaker combines high-minded utility with sublimely functional industrial design. Its stylish, understated look complements virtually any interior-design scheme.
We’ve computer-optimized the Harman Kardon Go + Play Wireless loudspeaker to produce all-encompassing, room-filling sound. With intelligent-equalization (EQ) technology in place to improve stereo imaging greatly, this speaker delivers a powerfully tuned digital audio path that ultimately leads to unsurpassed precision in performance. With clean, compact digital amplification coupled with digital signal processing (DSP), the Harman Kardon Go + Play Wireless employs one algorithm that optimizes system dynamics and bass impact in AC-power mode and another to minimize distortion during battery operation. This is just a fancy way of saying that this system sounds great, no matter how you’re using it.
A rich, full spectrum of sound with tight, thunderous bass that consistently fills up the soundstage – music lovers want it, and the Harman Kardon Go + Play Wireless delivers it. For example, two Atlas™ woofers produce extended bass performance with minimal distortion, while two Ridge tweeters project powerful musical details over a wide listening area. The result is exceptional range that most other portable loudspeakers can only dream of. No matter how and where you play this luxurious, high-end loudspeaker, its sound will always set it apart.
Beautiful sound and great efficiency make the Harman Kardon Go + Play Wireless smarter than your average portable loudspeaker. Using bi-amplification, its woofers and tweeters are independently amplified for exceptional richness and clarity of sound – the efficient, optimal audio quality that listeners have come to love and expect from Harman Kardon products for more than 60 years. With the Harman Kardon Go + Play Wireless, you’ll experience crisp highs and mids coupled with resounding, thunderous bass. It far outperforms other companies’ products in this category.
This loudspeaker keeps more than just the music going. A USB port charges your other devices when the Go + Play Wireless is running on AC power. So while you’re enjoying the power of beautiful sound, your devices are filling up on a different kind of power.
The Harman Kardon Go + Play Wireless loudspeaker integrates the latest touch-control technology – keeping it svelte, sophisticated and simple to use. On the user-friendly control panel, one touch increases or decreases volume. Another touch mutes or unmutes the system. No turning or twisting of knobs is required. As a further nod to simplicity, the Harman Kardon Go + Play Wireless also has a great memory; when it’s powered on, this speaker remembers all your previous settings – a convenient feature that saves you both time and energy.
Even if a lot of your music is on a Bluetooth-enabled device, that doesn’t mean that all of it is. So we’ve ensured compatibility with nearly every audio device. Thanks to its 1/8-inch (3.5-millimeter) stereo audio connection, you can use the Harman Kardon Go + Play Wireless with nearly any device that has stereo line-level outputs.

This is because most Windows do not support A2DP stereo audio streaming via Bluetooth, the standard for music-listening through Bluetooth. The system will support keyboards, mice, printers etc. via Bluetooth, but not audio. It is necessary to download the proper drivers, either from the computer manufacturer, the software manufacturer or the manufacturer of the Bluetooth chip in the computer. Help to do this must be sought with the companies that supply one or more of these computer features.Was this helpful? Thank you for your feedback!

Three devices can be connected to Go + Play BT/Wireless at the same time. You can easily take turns when playing music from 3 connected devices by pressing play on one of them. If you press play on the second of the connected devices, the first one will be interrupted and the second will start playing, and so on. If you want to connect a 4th device, you'll be required to disconnect one of the connected devices first.Was this helpful? Thank you for your feedback!

Fortunately the Go+Play in all versions is made with this problem in mind. One of the feet is adjustable. Look at the four feet. One is different from the others. You can insert a 3mm hex key into the center hole in it, then loosen the foot insert and unscrew it until the unit is steady. The adjustable insert may stick a little, so exert a steady, firm pressure to get it loose if this is the case.Was this helpful? Thank you for your feedback!

The Go+Play Wireless must be in Standby to be able to switch On when receiving a signal. This function uses a small amount of power, and cannot be switched off. Remove batteries when not in use for more than 2 weeks to prevent power draining.Was this helpful? Thank you for your feedback!

When the speaker is switching quickly between music sources via Bluetooth, it's normal to experience a very short 'pop' sound because the Bluetooth signal is breaking in and doing the handshake with the speaker. It won't appear after the Bluetooth signal is stable.Was this helpful? Thank you for your feedback!

This is caused by the volume synchronizaton system in the iPad. When you switch off the iPad with click sounds activated, it sends the click sound to the Go+Play, also ordering the Go+Play to increase volume to maximum. The hiss is a result of the Go+Play Wireless being at full volume. As soon as you re-start your music playing from the iPad, volume is back to normal music use. If you do not switch the iPad on again, the Go+Play goes into standby after a few minutes, and the hiss disappears. You can prevent this problem by de-activating the click/alarm sounds on the iPad.Was this helpful? Thank you for your feedback!
