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

We got the KitSound Hive2o Bluetooth speaker for my daughter, and she absolutely loves it. It’s been a daily companion — from her bedroom to the garden, and most recently to her school leavers beach party!✅ Pros:Great sound for the size – it’s surprisingly punchy with good bass and clear vocals.Totally waterproof – perfect peace of mind for beach trips, pool days, or accidental spills.Super portable – lightweight with a handy carry loop, she chucks it in her bag and off she goes.⛔️ Cons:It’s not the loudest speaker out there, but for personal use or small gatherings, it’s more than enough.The Bluetooth range is decent, but walls or long distances can interfere a bit.Final verdict:This is such a solid little speaker for teens, holidays, or anyone after a fun, fuss-free portable option. It’s affordable, reliable, and clearly built to tag along on adventures — my daughter wouldn’t leave home without it! We also now have it in baby pink!

Only just received this and totally blown away!!!!!!This is an initial opinion and I will update accordingly after a few days.Bought this item mainly for streaming music via my echo dot and it paired within seconds.The build quality is top jolly, it looks and feels sturdy. The buttons are responsive and have a satisfying click when pressed.Now, the sound. Simply stunning!!!!!!!! I have owned several speakers and this runs rings around everything I've ever heard before. It has a satisfying bass without being too heavy, mid range isn't overpowering and treble is crisp and clear. Maybe reggae fans would like a little more bass but I find the balance perfect for a mix of music. (Bass etc could easily be enhanced using an equaliser but I find it just fine). The volume goes pretty loud! (I find that setting the speaker to max and setting the dot to 50% is more than adequate for use in a bedroom)Haven't tried using the input cable for wired reception yet not tried using the smart functions (google now) as I'm using it with Alexa but will update review accordingly.Update:Can only give top marks for this little beauty, it's got brilliant, well-balanced sound that can handle everything from reggae to classical to speech really well. Reggae is particularly well presented with good bass whilst not being overpowering. As I write this I'm listening to Bob Marley in my back garden and the sound is sublime.Once again, this is a truly fantastic speaker especially considering its size and is really and truly worth every penny and the google now feature works like a dream too!One minor flaws on this product that I have discovered is that when connected to my echo dot via Bluetooth, the volume is 20% less when unplugged compared to when charging. This is a generic issue and only happens when connected to my echo dot and not when connected to my phone or tablet.Even taking this minor irritation into account, this is in my opinion the best vfm small speaker out there.Highly recommended!Update:-Comparison between hive2 and hive2+.Even though these two speakers look identical, they aint!!!! Forgetting about the obvious difference i.e. the hive2+ has google+ and siri built in. Don't be tempted to buy the hive2 even if you aren't going to use google+ or siri because the 2+ has a much better quality and richer sound plus it's louder! The hive2 sound is adequate and as expected for the price range but the 2+ is a headturner!!!!

I bought this speaker on the "Black Friday” sale at Amazon a few weeks back and is very nice little speaker with really good design. The sound is very clear but the speaker lacks the deep bass that I was looking for when playing music. The sound is good if you are listning to audio books but that was not my main reason for this purpose so I was a little bit dissapointed. It came with a small bag for the speaker, a normal USB micro charger cable and a flat no tangle 3.5mm to 3.5mm speaker cable if your device doesn’t have Bluetooth. Pairing it with my iPhone 6 was very simple and the battery time is also good.Before buying this speaker I also looked at Bose SoundLink Mini and I actually got that speaker as a Christmas gift a week ago and I have now had chance to compare the two speakers side by side and I must say the sound quality of the Bose is outstanding especially the bass. I can crank up the volume really lound and it will completely fill the room with an excellent sound. I also like the docking station that Bose provides which means I always have a fully charged speaker that is ready to go. The Bose SoundLink Mini is however four times more expensive than the KitSound Hive and despite that I would still reccomend the Bose SoundLink Mini because of the sound quality and in the end that is why you buy a speaker. Don’t get me wrong the KitSound Hive is an amazing value for money but it will not give you the same sound experience.
