About this deal

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. Not only is the Hive compatible with Apple, Android and Windows devices via Bluetooth, it has line-in connectivity too, meaning it will work with most mobile phones, computers, tablets and MP3 players using a standard 3. The Hive2 sounds flat and kind of muddy - there is more treble coming from the original Hive and the range is somehow more rounded and realistic. The packaging could be improved, however, as it's really hard to open without it falling out in the process! Fortunately it is a micro usb connection so if you have a device that has a micro usb charger then you are good to go.

Maybe that's something to do with the power rating, but it seems odd to me, and is a bit of a pain as the wall charger is much more convenient to use than the laptop. Aptly named, the Kitsound Hive features a unique honeycomb style design which not only looks smart but add's durability to its sturdy design, allowing the Hive will withstand the occasional knock much better than other speakers and, like all KitSound products, it's been built to last. We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. Understandably, KitSound is keen to emphasise that the Pocket Hive is equipped with such a component. So you can invest in two speakers and hear your favourite music in all its natural glory and really add depth to the sound.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. He was happier with the sound with less treble and actually thought that was some more midrange compared to the original unit. Apart from a slight tendency to collect visible fingerprints, it does not suffer from any rough edges. Portable music has been a hit, especially since Sony first developed their Walkman players and then Apple introduced their iPods.

If it was designed in Germany then it would be functional and probably excellent, if it had been Scandinavian then it would have been beautiful, and if it had been conceived in Japan then it would have been a technological marvel. We are an award-winning British audio brand that believes great-looking, high-quality audio products shouldn’t cost the world. It has a crisp clean sound, not in the least "tinny" as you might expect from its size, with good bass and mid-range. In fact, my only true criticism relates to the surface of the speaker, which is infuriatingly uncleanable. If your phone can keep up with the KS Hive Xs battery life, KitSound has also included a USB charging output.

Well, it was built in China as so many things are nowadays but they can only go as far as the engineering blueprint. Additionally, included with the Hive is a soft drawstring cloth pouch which can be used to transport your Hive safely. Finance is provided by PayPal Credit (a trading name of PayPal UK Ltd, Whittaker House, Whittaker Avenue, Richmond-Upon-Thames, Surrey, United Kingdom, TW9 1EH). It was well packed and arrived superfast , the instructions were easy to follow and it took less time to get it to work than it did to unpack it . KitSound is one such outfit, and the Pocket Hive is the most portable speaker in the British firm’s range.
