449$? 🧐.
SDers are crazy. When I posted the same deal, there was a negative vote!!
https://slickdeals.net/share/android_app/t/15432148

For this one, so many reps??

Partiality such as this will surely kick back guys. When I encounter a real deal in future and wish to share, I'll just say to myself: 'FT, they don't deserve it'.
I own one of this many years ago, and it's a solid speaker.

The bass output in this small body size, it's strong enough to make you want to move Smilie.

i noticed this too when looking at the trend being posted for the same deal $160.

we all have to keep things in mind like: paid posting, multiple accounts, friends of poster, etc.

I have to chime in here, this unit is the best portable speaker I've ever owned. I owned one of the first versions, the Go + Play 1, and every person that heard that speaker wanted to buy, borrow, or steal it from me.

It's omnidirectional, so you can be anywhere in the room and still catch the exceptional bass, solid mid-range, and vocals with clarity being projected through you. This unit puts out way more volume and thump than you would expect by looking at it.
When my first Go + Play was stolen, I tried an Onyx Studio by H. K. But it wasn't breathtaking like the Go + Play. I now own a Go + Play 1 (used on Craigslist) and a Go + Play 2, and I couldn't be happier.

Oh, and about the list price, they have always been overpriced, that's for people who just want to buy the brand name. If you want a bargain, if you want a slick deal, you'll notice H. K. has sales all the time to bring the price back down to earth some. But I've never seen $160 for a new unit. That price is so good I'm considering buying an extra.

I got two. I have it connected to tv via 3.5mm (no delay). You can also connect 2 and pair to the tv via Bluetooth but this way there is a delay (minimal but still). Really good inmmersive sound when2 are paired.
Would buy again
Do you have both connected to the TV at the same time?

So to be clear, you use a 3.5 mm cable with. a Y splitter?

only one connected with 3.5mm.
if i use a Y splitter I can get both with no lag 3.5mm. i don't do this bc I have not bought a long cable yet to separate them enough.
if i use both synced between themselves and pair BT to the TV, both sound(excellent) but there is lag in movies.

I think it may have to do with your deal title.

How about this comparing with Ultimate Ears Hyperboom?

Purchased Refurb Hyperboom at Amazon for $300.

This good deal has been posted before with varying enthusiasm. Just depends on timing, wording and seller. But it doesn't change your life one bit what anonymous internet strangers think of your posts. You are no better or worse whether you post or don't post, so do it only because you want to do it.

Absolutely. I care the least about the outcomes of posting a deal. Its not going to get me any awards! I am not bothered about what 'Internet People' think either.

I just wanted to say that my preferences and/or interests could change - to post a deal. And even if I want to, think whether I should spend any precious time of my life sharing stuff with a particular community that seemingly distinguishes its members.

I want to use this in a home office with a Mac or Echo Show 8. Can it be left on and plugged in all the time?

I pulled the trigger but after reading all the reviews containing "battery" from HK website and Amazon, I think I may return it (it's still being delivered). Seems like the best case if 2hrs of battery life at half volume. There's a lot of complaints of the battery life getting worse after a year of use. Several said the battery no longer works at all. Several say that keeping the unit plugged in damaged the battery. However everyone seems to be happy about the sound quality.

It happens to me all the time. Haters are gonna hate. Some people have nothing better to do. They probably buy the deal and still talk $hit about it. Negative votes are easier to deal with than negative comments. It's best to grow thicker skin or just post and don't look at it again. Posting is all about you and if you're not enjoying it then don't do it but a lot of people appreciate it even if you don't see feedback. Not everyone gives a thumbs up or "thanks OP" but bought what you posted.

I always look at these Go + Play posts because of the JBL Atlas 3" woofer thats used or at least was used in older models:

JBL SB 200
JBL On Stage 400 P
JBL Spyro & Spot
JBL On Beat Xtreme
jBL Radia
Harman Kardon Go + Play Micro (G1-G2)
Harman Kardon Go + Play (G1-G2)

It produces insanely good sound. I refoamed the one in my Spyro.
