OK, a confession. About the remote - I had inserted the battery the wrong way up. :neutral_face: Working fine now...

Got mine but it's bigger than I thought and won't fit where it was planned for so went strait back in the box.
Anyone want it for the £30 I paid plus post at cost?

I did comment earlier that this is unusable with amazon echo via Bluetooth, and yes I get the faint hiss if a device is connected via 3.5 jack which I don't like! (Although you can only hear it if nothing is playing and room is silent)

I too contemplated sending it back I decided to keep it as the sound is great and I know I won't get better for £30

Hmmm.....got mine today and the sound is not great, I can also hear a bit of background interference. I've also bought the soundbar which is amazing in comparison. I'm also thinking I may have a defective one.

I'm considering returning mine also, for the same reason, but also I find the sound quite dull and boxy. Lots of base, which it does well but there is no detail in the mids and highs. Perhaps mine is defective as others say they love the sound ?

Sad that I am having to return mine. Bought this to use with Echo, but quite unusuable. I talked to Amazon and Kitsound technical support and both say that this is a compatibility issue. Kitsound confirmed that the best option is to return as their product is not tested with Echo. I have a kitsound boom evolution which works great with echo dot in another room.

Anyone using this with an echo dot? I am having serious issues. Music plays fine, but when alexa speaks voice is breaking up. I have a kitsound boom evolution and alexa works fine with that.

Got mine today too and it's fantastic! I would have been happy paying much more than £30. The most impressive thing is that amazon echo dot can still hear me at full volume if I shout

This unit goes into standby after a short period of time when not used. It's great normally but rubbish if it's being used on echo dot! Bluetooth is not good to use with echo either as you lose the first part of Alexa's response. I'm gutted because this was the main reason I bought it!

^ I got mine today as well, yet to test it. This is my third kitsound. I have the boom evolution, boombar and now contempo....

FINALLY got mine about 30 mins ago and now set up and blasting out Gregory Porter. Initial impression is this is unbelievable value for 30 notes. Really decnt bass and soundstage. Absolutely loving it so far. HOWEVER, the remote doesn't seem to be working (and, yes I have inserted the battery lol). Although, being a bloke, I haven't got anywhere near to reading the manual yet :stuck_out_tongue:

We are rapidly turning into a Kitsound Household (TM) <3 But for this quality at these prices why not?

Finally says arrived at depot ready for delivery.

it is xmas - I suspect they are pushing it to get every thing delivered! - sure it will come soon

UPDATE -

"The Interlink van wasn't big enough - so it is getting picked up today! ".

Hmmm ?

Got an email from Kondor on Friday stating delivery today/Monday. Got email this morning from delivery company saying " we haven't received any parcel from Kondor". This is a joke lol

So apart from Matthat, had anyone else received their order. I got a dispatch email on Friday with tracking number, but the courier, interlink say they have not recieved the parcel yet. 9 days now since I placed my order !

Can anyone comment if this would be a decent enough to act as a TV speaker? As this is rate at 40 watts as most TV's are less than half of that (and down firing) I wonder if this would be a good improvement.

how good is the audio for music?

Does anyone have the dimensions of the box it was shipped in ?

Back on again at 29.99 just bought one.

mine came yesterday - bought it with the BT radio to get an extra 10% (£26.99 was a bargain for this), great sound thanks OP, shame the offer has ended (and the radio was a bargain too / both ended)

Anyone had a dispatched confirmation email yet? I keep getting "out of office" replies when I email them.

No. Sent message to seller and this was the reply "there is a delay in despatch due to high volumes and the item will be sent next Monday".

Anyone had confirmation that the item has been dispatched ?

£49.99 now

I bought 2 of these on offer at £60 a piece over a year ago and they are superb. Bluetooth is fine, and sound quality is lovely, and it has a really nice bass. I thought £60 was a steal at the time, but £30 was an absolute gift.

I bought the Contempo with the Hive2 in black. Emailed yesterday to swap the black Hive with white 'if possible'. Got a reply today telling me they'd cancelled the order and reorder correct colour. Minutes later went to reorder and now 50+60 quid respectively. Emailed questioning this and not heard anything since. B******!

Was about to buy at 8.45am for £29.99, then delayed to take a phone call. Price is now £49.99. I should have known better by now. Probably still a good deal at £49.99, but not for me, but thanks to OP for a great spot at £29.99.

Up to 50 quid now. Still a very good price but 30 quid was a unbelievable price!

Great thanks

Ordered thanks

Glad to have helped. I actually came across this from the hive2 thread, which I also purchased.

looking for a portable. ordered the hive2 as on offer. found because of this. cheers

Thanks OP! More presents sorted.

As Bluetooth V5 officially announced, and this one with V3, what makes difference and is still worth considering?

My Panasonic can connect to Bluetooth speakers or I can use a 3.5 headphone jack but not all tv's work this way.

You could buy a 3.5 Bluetooth jack (about £5 but needs USB power) if your tv doesn't have Bluetooth but I'm not sure about the quality.

Personally I'd only connect this via the 3.5 headphone jack

can you link two of these together?

Can this be used as a replacement for TV speakers do you think?

Saw this yesterday too but still debating

Got to bite at that price. Great spot OP thanks.

I don't even need one but I do at that price

yeah...got one for my dot too....

Thanks just purchased, thought I was finished with Christmas but apparently not

Thanks, ordered

SUPERB DEAL! Heat added. They were selling this for 50 quid yesterday (STILL a great price) if you check out the purchase history!

Really great deal OP. Ordered, to go with my Amazon Dot. Thanks for posting.
