The Best for on the go-Tailgate
on October 10, 2014

I take it outside and use it when we have pit-fires in the evening. The neighbors love it!! The Bluetooth is amazing. I use my I=Pod and sit across from it and control the music. Great volume and no distortion. I wish the batteries lasted longer. I'd buy another one if I could.
Pros: Attractive, Compact, Durable, Easy To Set Up, Good Audio
I would recommend this to a friend!

Truly Amazing

If you have the money for this thing, buy it now. You will not be disappointed. The sound coming out of it is awesome for its size. The bass response is phenomenal. I found that it works best when placed right in front of a wall, that way the lows are dispersed across the room evenly. It gets very loud and I haven't even taken it up to full volume because I'm afraid it's too loud and runs the risk of blowing a driver, I have only taken it to about 80%. It does lack a little bit on the highs, but it still sounds fantastic. The touch controls are easy to use, however minimalistic. I would like it if there were play/pause and skip buttons than just volume control. Another minor downside is that it attracts a lot of dust and dirt. The rubber pad on top is like a dust vacuum and it's pretty hard to clean. Under the metal grill is a foam pad that also attracts dust and hairs, it is also hard to clean. It's pretty easy to carry around, and would function well in the backyard, garage, picnic, park, or whatever, but definitely too large for traveling. It does bother me a little bit that if you want to use it away from a power outlet you need to pop in 8 D batteries. However, the batteries are supposed to last about 24 hours, which is fantastic, and if they were to install a lithium-ion battery, it would significantly bump up the price. It would've been nice if they gave consumers a choice, maybe in the future. Overall, this thing has enormous sound and an amazing bass response for a quite compact system, is great for use around the house or small trips around town, and has very few flaws that shouldn't hinder one's decision on a purchase.
Pros: Attractive, Easy To Set Up, Good Audio, Powerful Bass Response
Cons: Lack On Highs, Port Noise At High Volume, Slacking On Highs, Slacking On Hihs

Increadible soundstage from small size
on July 25, 2013
Posted by: Fredrik
from Stockholm
We use it mainly outside on our porch, streaming from iPhone. The sound is nothing but increadible for the small size box. I tried JBL OnBeat Venue and the Beats Box. None of them come even close in sound reproduction. I also think the white one is quite, not good looking maybe,but estethic. For beeing an active speaker which can whoop out the music big time.
Pros: Dynamic Sound, Good Audio
Cons: NONE

Awesome speaker
on July 24, 2013

One amazing sounding unit. I got home from work around 1am, opened the coolest box I've ever received with a piece of electronics. I will definitely be making use of the box for something else. Anyway, I turned on my iPad, paired it via Bluetooth (took about 5 seconds) & pressed play on my music player & wow. It sounded like a decent receiver & bookshelf speakers with a subwoofer. Crisp, clean highs and smooth bass. Then my 17 year old daughter slammed the door of her room so I had to take it down to 2 lines on the volume meter but it still sounded good. I really bought the unit to practice my guitar on it. So I went downstairs, plugged my guitar into my ipad, opened my guitar app & I thought I was plugged into my amp. Then my wife came down & asked me to lower it. She was in the bedroom upstairs on the other end of the house. And I really didn't have it up that loud. I also noticed when I unplugged my guitar, it sounded like I was plugged into my amp. You know that hum you get when the cable isn't plugged into a guitar. I think I'm going to get a lot of use out of this unit. Can't wait to crank it up tomorrow.
Pros: Attractive, Durable, Easy To Set Up, Good Audio

Great sound, but one annoying "feature"
on July 18, 2013
Posted by: David G
from Hanford, CA
The sound of the box is nothing short of awesome, and the build quality is top shelf...but one little "feature" is preventing me from using it the way I had planned. I wanted to use my iPad mini as a nightstand alarm clock, connected by bluetooth to the KMC. On paper, it seemed like a great idea. The problem is that when the KMC detects that there has been no streaming for one hour, it goes into standby, and disconnects from the iPad. So when the alarm goes off, it doesn't wake up or otherwise automatically reconnect to the KMC, and the alarm plays only through the iPad's internal speaker. Ideally, you'd be able to prevent standby when the KMC is plugged in to AC power, but that doesn't appear to be the case. Bummer.
Pros: Attractive, Easy To Set Up, Good Audio
Cons: Auto Standby
