The Esquire Mini exudes class, looking like the kind of gadget a CEO has in his or her briefcase or coat pocket. Measuring 3 by 5.5 by 0.9 inches (HWD), the 8.4-ounce speaker is offered in black, brown, crème, and white models, and sort of looks like a cigarette case.

Crisp audio performance; Can get quite loud for a speaker this size; Handsome, easily portable design.

Distorts on some deep bass tracks, even at modest volumes; Classical tracks tend to sound thin and lacking in lows

Over the last few years Harman Kardon has been hard at work reinvigorating the design of its products, offering a level of elegance and simplicity once reserved for the likes of Bowers & Wilkins, or (dare we say it?) even Apple.

Chic portable design; Excellent build quality; Powerful; dimensional sound signature

Weak bass and midrange; Distorts with heavy bass tracks; Introductory price is too high

Harman Kardon's Esquire Mini is one of those products you'd love to receive as a gift, but you might hesitate to acquire on your own for $150 ( £124.95 UK, $229 AU). It's part Bluetooth speaker , part high-quality portable speakerphone and part external battery charger.

The Harman Kardon Esquire Mini Bluetooth speaker has a slim, sleek design, and a built-in kickstand; It makes for an excellent speakerphone and can also charge your phone

Since it doesn't have much bass it doesn't sound great with music; a little pricey

Only Raj has been able to ask the question "…do you like music?" and make it awkward. Fortunately, the Harman Kardon Esquire Mini wireless Bluetooth speakers are anything but awkward.

Introduction Harman Kardon is a company renowned for their audio products; they're the parent company of brands like JBL and AKG, which are both highly regarded in the audio community.

Just slightly larger than the new iPhone 6, and substantially smaller than the iPhone 6 Plus (5.3" x 3" x 15/16"), the Esquire Mini is a sleek, elegant speaker system. It's about half the size of the original Esquire.

Delivers great sound for its size. Clear voice quality when using as conferencing /speakerphone. Easy and intuitive to use. Was my birthday gift to me!

A Great Buy; Easy to use; Good Quality Build; Portable

Great looking speaker, but defying lately lacks in sound quality when compared to larger speakers.

Great design Great brand

Sound is not as crisp as I'd like

I bought this for the size and the portability, As soon as i paired it and played the first tune, I realized the sound quality is unbeatable. I would definitely recommend it. it sounds as good as a Bang & Olufsen!

Though its name and style indicate that its strictly for the on-the-go professional, I wholeheartedly recommend it for anyone looking for a portable, reliable and stylish Bluetooth speaker solution.

Full sound, Charges devices, Multi-directional mic, Amazing battery life, The Harmon/Kardon Esquire Mini easily fulfills its duties as a long-lasting and capable on-the-go speaker; Its compact size makes it easy to slip into a pocket or a bag to accompany your travels.

Kickstand isn't adjustable, No battery button, Grille is lint-prone, Only a few minor gripes keep me from gushing non-stop about this cool device; On the unit, there's no dedicated solution for checking the battery levels.
