Kitsound Dancefloor Bluetooth Speaker 1st Impressions Video & Review

Kitsound Dancefloor Bluetooth Speaker 

Heya peeps are you keeping snuggled up in the warm; out of the cold, snow, wind and rain? If so then you may need something to cheer you up when listening to your favorite sounds.

As you guys know I love my mini speakers and Ive reviewed quite a few now from Kitsound; so I just couldn't wait to get my hands on this little beauty that came out this year.

Well...just look at it...it has flashy LEDs!

So if you love your sounds or collect unusual speakers then hang around for a bit and watch my unboxing and chatty 1st impressions video as well as my post below.

Ive always loved unique speakers and as soon as I saw this I fell in love..

Packaging

The packaging boxes from Kitsound are always modern and explanatory.

Inside the box you have the Kitsound Bluetooth speaker, your standard USB charging cable and the user manual.

 The speaker itself is a gorgeous dinky size of 

5.1cm depth x 9.5cm width x 17.3cm high and it only weighs 181grams.

It is made of ABS plastic with a soft rubberized edging which will mark if scratched. 

The handle presses open like a karabina and will clip to a belt or hang from anywhere you wish, a tree, tent, branch anything and the fact it opens up allows you to clip it securely.

This is so good when you need to attach it to something you cant just slide it onto; like this branch, you wouldn't want to break off the branches. You can then also make sure its wont just slide off.

Dancefloor features

• Amazing LED light display.
• Great sound from the 40mm drivers with 3 watt sound.
• Bluetooth connectivity.
• Portable size and shape.
• 7 different light settings....see LED's later in the review.*

The 5 buttons have a more rubbersised feel than the case which makes it easy to feel in the dark.

From top to bottom;

• Microphone hole to answer calls, 
• LED mode button, 
• Play/pause, 
• + and - volume and/or track button,
• On/off button,

Its sits so ergonomically and comfortably in your hand so your fingers are placed over the buttons perfectly.

 Underneath is the covered flap for the USB charging port. This is protected from dampness if your out camping or hiking.

To charge simply plug your USB cable into the bottom of the speaker and you see a red LED (you can see 2 here as its reflecting on the cable). This needs to be charged for approximately 4 hours for the 1st time.

Pairing

Both my tablet and phone paired fast and easily with this Dancefloor speaker; I show you just how quick and easy it is in my video below. It found the Bluetooth almost immediately.

The Bluetooth extends easily to the 10m, I managed to walk away to approx 15m-17m. I have found our thick walls do cause slight break up of music between upstairs and downstairs in our cottage as our walls are very thick and we have alot of electronic gadgetry.
For me personally I'm always in the same room as the speaker when I want to hear music so for me its no problem.

Sound Test

I have to say Im so impressed with this little dude, its loud, crisp and clear, great trebles with good but average Bass. The balance is just right.
This has 40mm driver so Ive certainly seen a marked improvement to my many other 20mm driver speakers and of course it has 3 watts too its really loud with no distortion whatsoever...amazing!
Of course I always want more Bass and with some tweaking on my phone and tablet equalizers it gives me some fab Bass...see in my video you can see for yourself and make your own decisions  to see if you like it as much as I do.

The volume buttons do two jobs volume or track change:

• Quick press changes track forward or backward with + or - button.
• Press and hold + or - will change the volume.

Call answering

This is a cool addition to the speaker that Ive seen on quite a few other speakers recently; as when you have a call coming through your phone while listening to your music from it; the speaker will shut off with a ringing tone, answer your phone normally and you will be able to hear your caller and answer it through your Dancefloor. Its very slightly echo-y but I haven't had a call answering speaker yet that isn't. You can still easily hear your caller and they can hear you.

LED's

*This gorgeous little speaker has 7 led modes according to the manual, but it actually has 9...see my video as I go through them all so you can actually see it. They are just amazing especially at night.

1. Stripes of colour.
2. Equalizer 1 - Level colours to music
3. Equalizer 2 - Bouncy colours to the music...this is my favorite out of all the LED modes.
4. Bouncy colours...very cool.
5. Chasing colours in a circle, rectangle ;-).
6. Diagonal upward colours.
7. Block upward colours.
8. Scrolls through all the 7 modes every 3 seconds.
9. LED's off but speaker still working.

 Modes 1 4 5 6 7 8 9 can be viewed with or without the music.

The main factor is that it has 2 Equalizer modes which will bounce in time with any music. This is the resting LEDs of the equalizers.

Here are just some of the gorgeous LEDs colour combinations you can get, but believe me you get so much more; these piks dont do it justice...just take a quick gander at my video for the full effects.

 Looks incredible day or night.

Opinion

The Kitsound Dancefloor has an excellent quality build and it feels solid in your hand. The rubberized edging gives it some bump protection, but does mark a bit. The buttons are super responsive but they are difficult to see what they do; but its easy to work them out from the manual.

The Bluetooth pairs fast and easily with both my Samsung S4 and my Nexus 10 and when you turn it off and on again it remembers your last song and LED mode...what a clever Dude.

 I absolutely love the LED modes and enjoy using it both day and night. My favorite are the 2 equaliser modes as you will see in my main video they are extremely sound responsive and look amazing!!!

What surprised me was just how bright it is under normal bright light it still looks fab...dont you think?

Sound has a great balance and is one of the best portable speakers Ive had. The 40mm driver does make a difference from the 20mm Ive had in the past, the sound, sounds sharper, clearer and crisper as well as louder with its 3 watts of power. I have had this badboy at full volume with NO distortion whatsoever; dont do this at home as you could damage the speaker...but for this review I needed to let you guys know.
Plus I had a music playtime of approx 6-7 hours which is just fabulous!

It also has the clever addition of call answering which cuts off your music and has its own ringtone for you to answer the call...love this thing!

Overall its definitely one of my alltime favorite speakers Ive reviewed on Gadget Girl; it has great sound, its rugged and if you've not used it, it will even turn itself off after 20 minutes...very impressed.

Its super portable and fits easy into your pocket, handbag or suitcase due to its ultra slim ergonomic design.
A slightly dearer speaker to others Ive reviewed; but I feel its well worth the extra pennies as the quality all round is just gorgeous with the extra fun twist of LED's modes.
Perfect for relaxing in the garden on a hot summers day!

Xtreme Blue Audio Bluetooth headphones with Mic & Mobile control Review

Xtreme Blue Audio Bluetooth headphones with Mic & Mobile control Review

Hi everyone I have another great product from Rebelite to show you. A fun colourful pair of Bluetooth headphones.

Rebelite is one of the largest distributors of cellular phone / Tablet Accessories in The United States. Since 1999 and have served millions of shoppers worldwide. They are successful because they focus on you - the end user. It's all about manufacturing world class gear for today's tech savvy end user.

Over the last few weeks Ive brought you a few products from the lovely guys at Rebelite. Ill link them all below.
So Im excited to show yet another brilliant gizmo for your devices so you know the drill just click after the jump and you'll find my full photoloaded review or scroll down a bit more for the video.

Packaging

I say one thing for Xtreme they have nailed their packaging, its strong for those overzealous postmen and its intriguing making you want to know more about whats inside. Plus lots of info on the back.

In the box you get your gorgeous headphones, a charging USB cable and instruction sheet. After-all you don't need a booklet its so simple to use.

Note; This does not come with an auxiliary cable so you must make sure your devices have Bluetooth to be able to use these gorgeous headphones.

Description

So what do you get for your buck? These Xtreme Blue Audio headphones are Bluetooth giving you hands free technology to listen to streamed music, play games and even make calls without any annoying cables.

On getting this out the box I have to say it has a lovely substantial weight to it, some headphones can feel cheapy light but this has a luxury feel to them.

I also love the accent colours you get with these headphones for those of you that don't like full on bright block colours you may like these as they offer accent colours on the headband and on the wire mesh of the headphone itself. I adore this pink, its girly but still has the quality look and feel about it.

You can also get it in Yellow, orange and neon blue fantastic bright colours that give these headphones a super fun edge to them.

 Okay lets start with the headband it has a lovely padded pink pvc leather thats really squishy and oh soooo comfortable.

Maybe you can see here the depth of squishiness it has. So for those of you like me that often game for hours you've no worries of uncomfortable headbands that dig into your skull and leave you with a center parting in your hair that you had not planned.

 To make it even more comfy the headband is completely adjustable with a smooth metal ratchet to fit you.

Both earpads have super cushions for extra comfort and I mean xtra, xtra comfort they are gorgeous. Smooth pvc leather and super squishy as I show you in my video.
 A slight thing for me is that the earcups don't swivel to fit horizontally to the head, they are fixed to the band. They fitted fine for me and I didn't really notice that they don't swivel, it could be a problem for people with smaller heads. If you need this extra swivel ability you would end up paying quite a bit more on high end headphones.

The earphones themselves are both clearly labelled left and right; most labels are so tiny you have strain to find them.

NOTE: I have had a few queries from some of you asking if it really matters if you wear them on the wrong way round.

Well yes it does; especially listening to recorded live bands, as the sound is staged by recording engineers who attempt to place the instruments in certain way for the best sound. Drums maybe slightly off-centre, vocals could be to one side, strings at the back, guitar forward and central you get the idea. 

In particular gaming as the sound effects are fed into your ear as you walk past something loud, a car explosion for example this would sound in one ear to make it more real. Hope this helps explain it....but just try it yourself to hear what I mean, just don't complain to me, if you keep getting shot playing Call of Duty.

One of my favorite memories was listening to Just an Illusion by Imagination on my "Walkman" amazed by the music traveling from one ear through my head to another ear and back again. I was "Lost in music"...eep yes I am that old...! Imagination was a band in the 80's and a Walkman was like an MP3 player or Ipod and it had a tape which was like an SD card and batteries that you had to replace and buy from a shop, you know the internet with bricks...... oww, just Google it.

 Back to the Blue Audios; both earpads have been cleverly designed using the black ABS plastic accented with your colour choice on the metal mesh in my case pastel pink.

  One earpad has the Xtreme logo printed in the centre.

 The right earpad is where all the action happens, it has the buttons very cleverly designed into the earcap itself. So from a distance it looks like just the design.The central hole is for an LED which either flashes red or blue for charging or pairing. See my video footage.

 The on/off and accept calls button is easily accessible with your fingers.

 The other buttons are + and - volume and fast forward and rewind track, these are easy to get the hang of.

Underneath the buttons on the same right earpad is your charging port and if you look carefully the microphone hole for calls.

Charging

Charging, Pairing and Bluetooth

The headphones only took a few hours to fully charge and the LED glows red till charged then turns off.

I show you guys in my video how easy it is to connect to Bluetooth. But to give you a brief rundown;

1. Hold the on/off button for 5 seconds to turn the headphones on; it bleeps and flashes blue meaning its looking for your Bluetooth signal.This is an instant pairing button.
2. Turn on Bluetooth on your device (phone, tablet, PC or laptop), you will see a code #51421 come up, just press the scan. I wasn't asked for any passwords.
3. It connects almost immediately. Your ready to Rock!!
4. Once paired you only ever need to turn on Bluetooth on your phone and then turn on the headphones it immediately connects, this is super cool as its so fast. No more fiddling on your phone to connect devices...brilliant!

They say in the instructions the Bluetooth range extends up to 33 feet; but it goes quite a bit further to almost 40 feet..with nothing in between and outside; but it also still continued to play music when I left my phone upstairs, then I went all the way downstairs and out into the garden which is quite impressive, especially in out cottage which has super thick walls. So it should easily go the distance in a more modern home; depending on your electricity and wifi setups which can sometimes interfere with signals.

Checkout my video review too and get to see them, then you get to listen to me ramble on rather than read my rambles lol.

Sound

I have to say the sound on these headphones has a gorgeous balance between trebles and Bass and even bass lovers like me will really enjoy using these. I have been gaming using these and the atmospheric sounds is perfect and a good test is when Im getting lost in World of Warcraft and barely noticing that I am wearing them, the explosions, fighting and voices are nicely realistic making these a fantastic all rounder.

Opinion

Alter tracks and volume and answer calls all by just touching the earpad...cool huh!; so you don't even need to get your expensive phone out of your bag or jacket to control your music.

The small but responsive microphone allows you to make calls over your phone or SKYPE etc, and its fantastic for gaming.

Inside are 40mm drivers that deliver gorgeous Bass, something I really wasn't expecting from such a lower cost headphone. Plus the mid, highs and trebles are balanced brilliantly giving a great sound experience whether listening to music, gaming or chatting to your Mum.

Plus its super comfy soft ear cushions and adjustable band gives you long hours of wear without any discomfort.

WALL-E approved; dont they look good on him!

I love these, not just the great sound but really love its stylish design too, the bright colours are not too in your face but enough to give them a fun look. Fantastic affordable gift for anyone who loves their music and gaming.

Pro's

• Great fun bright design.
• Good balanced sound.
• 1 button Bluetooth pairing.
• Noise cancellation.
• Lightweight.
• Super soft and padded.

Con's

• No Auxiliary port or cable but this would add to the price.
