Harman/Kardon HK Go + Play
$350.00
Released February, 2007
The Pros:Has dropped in price significantly since its launch in 2007. 3.5mm stereo input jack for use with other MP3 players / audio devices. Great RF remote - 30 foot range, doesn't require line of sight.
The Cons:High price. Very basic - no clock, radio, other high end features. Takes 8 D sized batteries.
The Harman/Kardon HK Go + Play is an iPod docking station featuring a brushed steel design that critics say make the HK look like a ‘futuristic bowling ball.’ It’s quite compact and utilizes four leg steels with rubber pads to stand tall and erect.

And only two buttons are included: one for power and one for volume. Everything else is managed via an arc-shaped RF remote that offers extended media controls for skipping/pausing/playing tracks from a distance up to 30’. The actual iPod dock sits on top. Included is a 3.5mm stereo jack for hooking up a portable MP3 player; a USB port for syncing a docked iPod to a nearby computer; and an S-Video output that isn’t compatible with any recent iPod models like the Touch or Nano.
Additional Information
The HK Go + Play doesn’t fit the iPhone or iPod Touch/Nano. Plus, it doesn’t include a CD player or FM radio.
