The rugged design and sturdy build means its anything but delicate - so enjoy your music, whenever you want, wherever you want. There are four grips on the bottom of the Hive that do a pretty good job at holding the Hive in its place when the bass vibrations are high. You are supplied with a aux to aux cable for a direct connection to the phone that will play your audio without many problems. KitSound is one such outfit, and the Pocket Hive is the most portable speaker in the British firm’s range.

Kitsound‘s Hive Wireless Speaker solves the problem by providing the best sounding wireless speakers in a portable size. With stereo pairing you can connect two Hive X speakers and hear your favourite music with added depth and sound. 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. 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. If you try and charge the speaker *while* it's cable connected to your device you get massive interference from the power source (bad design: they're right next to each other) making it unlistenable to.He was happier with the sound with less treble and actually thought that was some more midrange compared to the original unit. You’ll want to enjoy your speaker for hours, which is why we crafted 12 hours playtime on just one charge. As usual, there is no mains adaptor for charging, but there is a USB-to-mini USB cable provided, along with an auxiliary cable. It is also the second product from KitSound that I have tested in recent weeks, the first being the Cube, a party light-up speaker which failed to impress in anything other than vibrancy.

Then I made another few cups of tea while it was charging and finally plugged it into my computer while pretending I was back in the glory days when ‘Made in Great Britain’ was a stamp of excellence. I purchased this as a gift for my brother and it is much smaller than I had imagined but still packs a fantastic punch.Smart devices with Bluetooth connectivity can easily connect to the Hive 2+ or even through one touch NFC pairing. I personally have on of the older (and larger) models provided by KitSound and found it to be a fantastic product.
