About the Harman Kardon Esquire 2

Ralph Graves

Esquire 2 means business

The Harman Kardon Esquire 2 is made for the business traveler. Even just holding it, the feel of its smooth, leather-clad aluminum case made me feel like an executive. And it's slender enough to slip into the inside pocket of a suit coat — had I been wearing one. In addition to its clean, compact design, the Esquire 2 is packed with thoughtful, business-friendly features.

Four built-in microphones make the Esquire 2 ideal for conference calls (smartphone not included).

Versatile speakerphone for one or more

A built-in kickstand holds the Esquire 2 upright, ideal for individual hands-free calling. When you pull out the stand, the single voice mic is activated and ready when a call comes through your paired smartphone.

Inside the Esquire 2 are four microphones positioned to pick up sound in a full 360° range. Just lay the speaker in the middle of your conference table to activate the four-microphone array. Noise and echo reduction circuitry ensure the microphones pick up the best possible sound, even if your meeting space is in a restaurant or airport lounge.

Pair and share

You can pair two devices simultaneously to the Esquire 2. Watch a movie in your hotel room on your tablet using the Esquire 2 as the speaker, and hear calls come through on your paired smartphone. Or you and a friend can take turns playing DJ for a co-worker's birthday party.

Built to travel

The built-in rechargeable battery provides up to 8 hours of continuous operation. And if your smartphone's battery starts to run low, you can recharge it through the Esquire 2's USB port. No more hunting for an outlet at the airport!

You'll be able to stream stored music or music apps from your Bluetooth-enabled device. You'll also be able to control basic playback functions, such as Play/Pause. You will continue to use your Bluetooth-enabled mobile device for advance music navigation and to view song/artist information.

There is an "answer/end" button on the Esquire 2, plus a microphone mute function. Whether conferencing with one person or with a group, the Esquire 2 delivers quality sound and reliable connection from phone calls, Skype, Facetime, and more. You will continue to use your Bluetooth-enabled mobile device to view video calls, dial a phone number, and control advanced phone functions.

Once paired, the Esquire 2 will automatically re-connect to the last device used when in wireless range (30'). Up to two devices can be paired with the Esquire 2.

Note: Due to the differences in Bluetooth technology, some Bluetooth enabled devices may be incompatible, function improperly, or may not support all features when used with the H/K Esquire 2.

Aux Input: The H/K Esquire 2 is fitted with a 3.5mm auxiliary input to connect virtually any portable audio device with a headphone output.
