KitSound Hive2o Waterproof Bluetooth Portable Wireless Speaker with Call Handling Function, Blue

Product Information

I am reviewing it based on my real world usage experience with a Samsung Galaxy Note 2, Note 3, S3 and a Google Nexus 7. By signing up you agree with this and confirm that you are over 13 years of age, or have the consent of a parent or guardian. In fact, my only true criticism relates to the surface of the speaker, which is infuriatingly uncleanable.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. The great thing with it being of a smaller size means it is much easier to take on holiday and have it sat next to you whilst you are lay beside a pool enjoying the rich sounds of your favourite music.Not only is The Hive compatible with Apple, Android and Windows devices via Bluetooth, but it’s supplied with a 3. Once the music is flowing, you can tap the button to toggle play/pause, or double-tap it to skip a track.

Most mobile phones, tablets, MP3 players, and computers can access its wonderful sound through the line-in connection. The rugged design and sturdy build means its anything but delicate - so enjoy your music, whenever you want, wherever you want. You are supplied with a aux to aux cable for a direct connection to the phone that will play your audio without many problems. Additionally, included with the Hive is a soft drawstring cloth pouch which can be used to transport your Hive safely. There’s also a built-in mic if you happen to get Justin Bieber to sing you a song over the phone – or for use as a speakerphone.

A single button at the front handles all the available controls, and the three ports at the rear are neatly arranged in a row. We have only used the Bluetooth feature to wirelessly connect to a laptop and broadcast music in a large room. In addition to the digital sound processing, the Kitsound Hive includes a passive radiator on the underside of the speaker. The instructions on how to connect via Bluetooth were easy to follow but it was not a fast process with our computer and we had to wait a few minutes for the process to complete.

Keep the music going for longer, just plug in your phone’s USB cable to charge it while still playing all your tunes. registered in England | Registration number: 1511931 | VAT number: GB864438791 Registered Office Address: Exertis (UK) Ltd. The sound is one-directional, but I think I that’s like complaining that your newly speaking child can’t speak Russian, and I’m forgetting that this awesome product will naturally have limits. The Pocket Hive’s tall, top-heavy packaging might be held together with strips of cellotape, but KitSound has been quite generous with what they have included with the Pocket Hive. You can connect in many ways, including wireless via One Touch, NFC pairing or Bluetooth, so you can connect with most tablets and smartphones.I personally have on of the older (and larger) models provided by KitSound and found it to be a fantastic product.
