Harman Kardon Esquire Mini

Overview

As such, this won’t be for everyone, but if you need better sound out of your phone or laptop than what you currently have and want a power bank inside of it, too, the Harman/Kardon Esquire Mini is totally worth considering, just make sure your music isn’t totally reliant on bass, otherwise you just won’t hear much.
