    I owned this speaker and took it back after a week despite only paying £50 for it. It looks fantastic and and has a lot of features. The ring makes it look stylish and expensive however there are quite a few draw backs worth mentioning. The build quality is average considering it was originally released as a £180 the speaker it feels light and cheap to hold. It's size would be more justified if it had an internal battery for portable use as it has usb out for external charging but needs to be always connected so it's a wasted feature. Also it doesn't include FULL Alexa features so can't connect with existing Echo speakers so you can't use it for multi-room with any other Amazon Echo or Show. Also there is no drop in feature available like official Amazon Echo speakers so you can't use as a tannoy around your house even if it is from one Kitsound speaker to another. Can't change wake word from Alexa or make phone calls to and from it either. Only has 2.5ghz Wi-Fi for some reason although it never lost connection for me but never tested it upstairs far from router. Also it only has 2 mics so doesn't pick up commands if the volume is above 70% however you can activate Alexa from the remote. Sound quality is ok but not balanced as it's too bass heavy and lacks depth and the equaliser is a waste of time. My recommendation is if you are in the market for a Bluetooth speaker for sound quality then there are better options out there like an LG PX3 XBOOM that's only £50 in Currys at the moment. If it's for smart features then get a smarter speaker as I would rather have 2 X Echo dot 3rd Gens for £50-60. HOWEVER if you are after a MULTI-ROOM Wi-Fi speaker system and are on a budget then look no further and go and buy 2 or more as that's where the KitSound Voice One Speaker excels and is a must buy. I like this speaker and only returned it as it doesn't do what I need it to do and I don't think it is being supported for any future updates either. In summary I would say It's nearly a jack of all trades speaker but doesn't quite master anything except it's value for money.

    I have had 2 for some time. The first one ended with me throwing it on the floor until it died forever and the second is in a cupboard somewhere. Wifi dropped at will. Alexa sent me to Coventry and ignored me more often than my kids. Constant unplugging to get it to start responding again. Seemed great at the beginning.

    For the money. These really aren't that bad, I have two now and you'd struggle to get anything else this cheap that sounds half decent and links as these do. Two words of warning - 1) I HATE the light ring on the front of the unit. It is hella bright and if your speaker is on... You guessed it - the light is on! So at night with music playing all you get is a glowing room thanks to the silly light ring design. 2) if you link more than one speaker, only the primary speakers Alexa will work, which is an annoyance (this one may be in the video but I forget as haven't watched in a while). *But overall, I am pleased with what they give you for such little ££!

    Voice One Smart Speaker £129.99 In collaboration with Amazon and featuring Alexa Voice Service, Voice One, is packed full of features from the 20 Watt drivers, a stain-resistant Nano coating protecting against little splashes, to the multi-room technology, allowing you to connect up to 8 speakers to distribute songs all over the home via Wi-Fi. On their own site so 49£ is not a real comparison I think 😟

    I got one for Christmas, I’ve a grey desk and it’s in the corner and looks very nice and theme fitting. I’ve not had a problem with it! £50! The sound quality if you play with the Bass and Treble is really not bad what so ever. I must say the volume control on the front of the speaker is a bit crap, but I’ve not actually used it all that much. The remote is excellent feels fantastic. I’m in love with it! I’ve only got the one currently. But will be purchasing another for the down stairs of my house, and possibly even another one for my desk for stereo playback, I mean they look good... So why not!

    Kitsound may brand themselves very well, but “reputable company” may be taking it a bit far. A few years ago I accidentally drowned a pair of jaybirds and bought kitsounds as a cheap replacement.

    denon heos amplifier. Very expensive or just get a Google home mini and a Google chrome cast audio and you've turned your old amp into a smart stereo speaker.

    @@davidmancey that's the problem they're all expensive... If you can get a smart multi room speaker for under £50 surely a receiver should cost even less... Chromecast audio is the cheapest thing but at £30 that's still really expensive for buying multiple of them...
