They say you can’t judge a book by its cover. True that. However, you usually can assume quite a bit by that cover. When I first saw the Harman Kardon Esquire Mini portable Bluetooth speaker ($150), I knew it was something special. Very few speakers can compete with the looks of this one; and on an executive’s desk, looks do matter.

When you need better sound, you can always rely on a portable speaker, but Harman/Kardon’s Esquire Mini doesn’t just provide a decent sound, it packs in a useful battery, too.

Damn these companies are making it hard to choose a Bluetooth speaker, with so many on the market you’ve got to find a way to stand out. Looks, sound, features? These are the options. And following on from the stunning Esquire, harman/kardon have done it again, and possibly better with the Esquire Mini.  We’ve put […]

The $150 Harman Kardon Esquire Mini Bluetooth speaker has an eye-catching design, fits in a pocket and can charge your phone.

The suave, svelte Harman Kardon Esquire Mini delivers certain musical genres cleanly and crisply, but others can suffer from distortion or weak bass.
