The Hive 2+ is a beefy little speaker with a unique beehive style design. This portable wireless speaker, new for 2017, has Siri and Google Assistant integration, which means you can interact with your device directly from the speaker. KitSound has increased the power and clarity of sound on their second generation of the Hive; the 40mm active drivers and digital amplifier, combined with a passive bass radiator, creates 12 Watts of sound.

You can connect in many ways, including wireless via One Touch, NFC pairing or Bluetooth, so you can connect with most tablets and smartphones. If someone calls you, the Hive 2+ has a built-in call handling, so you can talk hands free and then return to your music when the inconsiderate, interrupting loved one hangs up. For less smart technology, there is line-in connect with the included Aux to Aux cable. Using the Hive 2+ is intuitive and the large, tactile hexagonal buttons compliment the design. With a double tap of a button you can also activate Google or Siri and get it to control your music, or ask who does that new song you really like. The chunky design can withstand a bump or two, it is stable and the rubber feet will prevent it sliding about, even when its vibrating on the loudest setting.

The Hive 2+ has 12 hours of continuous play from one charge and can be charged with one of the thousand Micro USB cables you probably have kicking around the house. Overall, we were really impressed with this small but fierce little speaker - it is loud and clear, with an excellent range for its size. 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. Affordable, punchy and handsome. RRP £59.99
