If you’re someone who regularly enjoys listening to music throughout the day, one of the best things that you can get for yourself is a portable Bluetooth speaker. However, nowadays there are many different models of Bluetooth speakers available to choose from. Some models are specifically designed for home use, as they’re more powerful in order to cover a wider area, but that audio power comes with the cost of bulkiness, thus losing their portability. On the other hand, other models are developed for outdoors-use, as their lightweight design tends to be focused on portability, but with the cost of a noticeably lower audio quality. On that note, many music lovers would probably want a decent portable Bluetooth speaker that’s designed for everyday use, all while still packing both a lightweight construction for easy portability as well as a crisp audio quality that truly captures all the details in every song. That’s exactly what the Monoprice Harmony Capsule 200 has to offer you.
The Monoprice Harmony Capsule 200 is a portable Bluetooth speaker designed for home, office, or on‑the‑go audio, featuring large dual 52mm and single 66mm speaker drivers with custom DSP EQ tuning, built-in controls, a IPX7 Water-Resistance Rating, Bluetooth 5 Connectivity, TWS Dual Pairing, a built-in Microphone for Voice Assistant support, and up to 8 hours of battery life.
In addition to all of that, this all-in-one portable Bluetooth speaker also integrates additional connectivity input options in the form of a wired 3.5mm Auxiliary port and a microSD Card slot, which basically makes it even more versatile.
All in all, the Monoprice Harmony Capsule 200 is an outstanding portable Bluetooth speaker for you to go with, as it comes packing with every single feature you’d want to have for a truly connected lifestyle.
Now, let’s have a more detailed look at it and check out all of the cool features and functionalities that this portable Bluetooth speaker has to offer you.
DESIGN & SPECS
Starting with the speaker’s size, the Harmony Capsule 200 comes at a reasonably compact size, measuring just 3.5 inches long by 3.7 inches wide by 8.8 inches tall (90 x 95 x 224 mm), and the speaker is also fairly lightweight, weighing just 34.4 oz. (974 g).
The speaker’s compact size and ultra-light weight makes it extremely easy for you to carry it around with you at any situation, no matter if you’re commuting between home and work, on a road-trip, or even while exploring the outdoors.
Not only that, but the speaker also features a gorgeous minimalist design throughout its whole black body, which gives it both a stylish and discrete look.
Moreover, the Monoprice Harmony Capsule 200 also features a fairly durable all weather construction / build, which is also combined with a a IPX7 Water-Resistance Rating that makes the speaker capable of withstanding being submerged underwater for up to 3.28 ft. (1 meter) depth in water for a maximum of 30 minutes.
Thanks to its IPX7 Water-Resistance Rating, you’re given the peace of mind to be able to take this portable Bluetooth speaker with you to any pool party, any day(s) at the beach-side, or any outdoors location where you’ll be close-by to a body of water (such as a lake or river) without having to worry about the speaker getting ruined due to accidentally dropping it in water.
AUDIO SPECS & AUDIO QUALITY
Moving on to the speaker’s audio specifications. For its sound drivers, the Harmony Capsule 200 comes equipped with built-in large dual 52mm 6W speakers that work together with a single 66mm 18W speaker driver.
This unique combination ultimately makes the speaker capable of blasting out a high-quality audio where you’ll easily notice its triple-speaker setup being capable of reproducing a crystal-clear treble (high-frequency sounds), nice and clean mids (mid-frequencies) – which goes especially for vocals – and also a powerful and fairly “punchy” bass (low-frequency sounds).
It’s also worth noting that the Harmony Capsule 200’s triple-speaker setup features a combined Amplifier Power of 30W (6W x2 + 18W) and a Nominal Impedance of 4 Ohms.
More importantly, its triple-speaker setup also integrates custom DSP EQ tuning, which can ultimately be configured to provide you with an outstanding sound quality, even at surprisingly high-volume levels, which is just awesome to see from such a small speaker such as this one.
Finally, note that this portable Bluetooth speaker also comes equipped with a built‑in Microphone that allows you to use it for voice activated phone calling ( from a Bluetooth connected mobile phone) via simple and easy-to-use Voice Commands from Siri or Celia.
INTERFACE / CONTROL PANEL
Then, for controlling the speaker’s different functionalities, we have the speaker’s interface, which can be found at the front-side of the device. The speaker’s interface is extremely simple, which makes it easy and intuitive to use.
