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.

The Gourd Amplifier from Mountain Melodies Manufacturing was born after the company owners, Paul and Sue Bergstrom, found themselves with lots of kettle gourds laying around and thought “Why not?” Each amp has its own unique shape and sound. You can use it with instruments or to play music from your MP3 or smartphone. It runs off a 9-volt battery (not included), so it is totally portable, and connects to your music or instrument via a 1/4″ input jack only (no Bluetooth here).

The Edifier R1800 BT Speakers are bookshelf speakers that can be connected by either a dual RCA input or through Bluetooth. It has a Class D amplifier and 10-degree angled fronts that help to direct the sound straight to your ears. So, the first impressions is a little mixed, I love the high gloss black body, it is very attractive and looks great on the book shelf, however the front of the speaker lacks any distinction. I think more could have been done here to finish the quality aesthetic off.
