To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. We have only used the Bluetooth feature to wirelessly connect to a laptop and broadcast music in a large room. Charging takes about three hours, and a full tank will power the KitSound through ten hours of playback. I've yet to run the battery down, but I used it for a good 5 or 6 hours and the battery status LED has still not gone to red which means it's less than 30% so the stated playback time of 12 hours seems feasible. Two 6 watt speakers to deliver 12w of amazing sound and to top it all off, it provides a passive radiator to deliver amazing bass that you can truly feel.

As usual, there is no mains adaptor for charging, but there is a USB-to-mini USB cable provided, along with an auxiliary cable.I purchased this as a gift for my brother and it is much smaller than I had imagined but still packs a fantastic punch. Featuring a powerful digital amplifier and two active speaker drivers, the Hive delivers controlled powerful and clear midrange and treble resulting is an outstanding sound quality from such a small speaker. The sound quality is absolutely brilliant after adjusting and balancing the volumes between the phone and speaker I was truly amazed at the power and tone of this little speaker . active drivers and an immense digital amplifier create 20W of pure expansive audio that will rival speakers double its size.

After having used this device now for several months I would just like to say how very pleased I am. Additionally, included with the Hive is a soft drawstring cloth pouch which can be used to transport your Hive safely. Whether you’re at the beach or having a party in the garden, music will no doubt feature within the ambience. It's never going to compete with a proper speaker, but it's easily as good as similar devices that cost 2 or even 3 times as much.While you’re there, pick up some accessories for many mobile devices like the iPhone and the Nokia Lumia 925, which is a great phone to pair with the Hive! So, even if your device is on the red, you can keep the music going for longer, just plug in your phones USB cable to charge it, while still playing all your tunes. No more garbled, hard-to-hear chatter through your mobile phone or computer, no more being tied down by phone lines. I bought it to use with an iPod Touch and I find it very easy to use although the battery life could be slightly better.

Striking Looks and Pleasing Build Quality A single control is the only break in the Kitsound’s sleek hexagonal form.You’ll want to enjoy your speaker for hours, which is why we crafted 12 hours playtime on just one charge.
