When shopping for a trendy smart speaker, most people tend to focus on options from only two companies. Amazon and Google’s Western market duopoly is confirmed by the latest quarterly sales report, in which the two’s strongest rivals hail from China, selling their voice-controlled devices almost exclusively around those parts.

Of course, at $64.95, the Harman Kardon Allure Portable is cheaper than both the second-gen Amazon Echo and “regular” Google Home (at least at their typical prices), offering pretty great features all in all. We’re talking the full range of Alexa skills the Echo lineup can tap into, as well as two microphones equipped with noise cancellation technology, powerful 360-degree sound (at least by sub-$100 smart speaker standards), and decent 10-hour battery life.
