Harman Kardon, whose products are distinguished by design solutions, has released several models of Bluetooth speakers with an elegant design. The most attractive speaker of 2015 is Esquire 2.

Work on bugs

The manufacturer took into account the shortcomings of the first version of Esquire and eliminated them in the 2015 model. First, Esquire was criticized for being "overweight". Its second version — "lost" half a kilogram and weighs 599 g. Secondly, the sound quality of Esquire, judging by the reviews and reviews, was inferior to competitors. The 2015 model has a better sound than its predecessor, and bass is boosted. You can't confuse a bass guitar with an acoustic double bass, and you can even distinguish bass synthesizers by their timbre (for example, Moog from Roland TB-303).

However, Esquire 2 is not without flaws — it has a short battery life (8 hours). For example, JBL Charge 2 Plus works up to 12 hours without recharging, and B&W T7 — up to 18 hours. However, the low battery charge (3200 mAh) did not deprive the device of such an important function as Power Bank.

Luxury instead of extreme

The design of the Esquire 2 is taken from the Esquire mini (2014). The thin body of the novelty (34 mm) is made of metal and trimmed with leather. And three colour options (black, silver and gold) give it a truly luxurious (Luxury) look. Elegant design, high-quality body — all this can be attributed to the advantages of Esquire 2. If desired, the speaker can be installed vertically using the built-in folding stand.

Everything for a pleasant conversation

The speaker is equipped with a built-in four-channel microphone with a circular orientation, as well as an echo cancellation and noise reduction system. The manufacturer paid special attention to the quality of voice transmission. Therefore, it is convenient to use it as a speakerphone for multi-person conferences. As observers note, at the same time, the interlocutors hear each other better than when using the speakerphone on smartphones, even in a noisy environment.

Harman Kardon Esquire 2 will be a suitable attribute for business people who appreciate style, high quality and are constantly at work (telephone calls, conferences).
