The AK Connect App is super convenient for managing many of HB1's features. All together, a nice package with solid functionality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have to admit A\u0026amp;K's typical premium build and design comes up short: it's a square black box with a volume knob, 3 buttons, and plastic parts. However, sonically, HB1 totally exceeded our expectations. Even using Bluetooth, the sound was clean, spacious, and resolving. HB1 has a neutral, reference tuning loaded with detail and clarity, but also avoids graininess or harshness. Using the USB connection, HB1 had best in class sound, and without careful listening, you don't miss much when you flip it to Bluetooth.
