Introduction
For in-home, office, or on-the-go audio, the Monoprice Harmony Reuleaux Portable Bluetooth Speaker is ideal. From such a compact speaker, high-quality digital amplification, two 45mm speaker drivers, and bespoke DSP EQ tuning produce outstanding sound at unexpectedly loud volume settings. While Qualcomm TrueWireless Stereo (TWS) functionality enables you to add a second Harmony Reuleaux to create a full stereo speaker array, Bluetooth 5 assures a simple connection to your smartphone or PC. For mobile applications, IPx7 dust and water resistance assures a durable, all-weather build quality, and the huge lithium-ion rechargeable battery offers quick charging and all-day playback. A built-in microphone enables voice calling from a Bluetooth-enabled smartphone, while a 3.5mm auxiliary input offers a second input choice.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can a portable Bluetooth speaker be reset?
You should only need to do this briefly with most Bluetooth speakers. The power and Bluetooth buttons must be pressed and held simultaneously in order for almost every Bluetooth speaker to be reset.
For the best results, connect your audio device to an outlet and turn it on at least five minutes before using to give it time to fully charge. A row of LED lights on the front of your speaker will turn on once it is plugged in and remain on until charging is finished.
Turning Bluetooth on manually in your Android’s settings should prevent it from automatically turning on and off. It’s possible that you need to adjust your power-saving settings if your Bluetooth connection is cutting out due to a low battery.
Instead of an internet connection, short-range radio waves are how Bluetooth operates. This means you don’t need a data plan or even a cellular connection for Bluetooth to function anywhere you have two compatible devices.
The built-in lithium-ion battery is fully charged if the CHARGE indication remains off when the speaker power is off and connected to an AC outlet. Even if the speaker is kept plugged into an AC outlet, the battery won’t be able to be charged any further after it has reached its maximum capacity.
Yes, the majority of wireless speakers plug into standard power outlets or power strips using AC adaptors. To become “truly wireless,” some systems employ rechargeable batteries, although this feature necessitates repositioning and charging as routine tasks in order to use this type of surround sound system.
Yes. Without endangering the battery, you can use your Bluetooth speaker while it is charging. When using the speaker for the first time, you should fully charge it while it is off so that you may check the battery life.
