It doesn’t matter if you’ve dropped close to a grand on the latest smartphone. Chances are the speakers will be, well, a bit shit.

The good news is though, whether it’s for your holiday, garage or just because you don’t have a stereo in your stripped-out street racer, this clever box of tricks from Kit Sound could be just the ticket for sorting out all your musical needs.

Offering up to 12 hours’ playback on a single charge, along with NFC pairing, a separate 3.5mm line-in and even a built-in mic for hands-free calling, it’ll certainly pump out some full, warm bass from its 40mm drivers.

These will also eat up 12 watts (RMS) which, never mind your phone, is more than plenty for standard car speakers!

It’s also all wrapped up in a chassis that’s built to be tough, so you won’t kill the bugger with the inevitable bump or two… or when you kick it across the room because Justin Bieber has just come on the internet radio.

Some seriously good value for such a well-spec’d slice of tech.
