* Portable speakers and home audio from Harman Kardon
* 65-years of outstanding sound quality and beautiful design
* Bluetooth and wired models
For music lovers, Harman Kardon has long made speakers that speak to the soul. Known for their rich, warm and organic sound quality, as well as their outstanding visual design, these are some of the highest-rated home audio and portable speakers on the market. Even if you don’t know a transducer from a transistor, you may still know Harman Kardon or HK, as it’s sometimes called, as the optional OEM sound system upgrade in certain cars. Since at least the mid-2000s, Harman Kardon speakers have been a selling point on the higher trim levels of BMW’s 3-series. So if you’re looking for unique listening options or for some portable Bluetooth enabled speakers, you can get that noted Harman Kardon quality without having to go out and buy a mid-2000s BMW 3-series. You can find these Harman Kardon speakers on Amazon, and they’re much cheaper, and easier to maintain, than a German car.
