The Kien sound system can singlehandedly replace all of the various sound systems you may have spread around your home. Whether you want multi-room, surround sound, premium stereo or music on the go, Kien has got you covered. All of this can be controlled with any of your preferred devices and apps. “We wanted to create speakers that actually suit people’s flexible lifestyles - with new ways of media consumption via smartphones, tablets, spotify or netflix,” says Florent Gatin, co-founder of Kien. “Right now you have to buy a different sound system for every different usage situation, and on top of that you are restricted to certain apps or even certain devices.” The system consists of two different types of speakers: the subwoofer and satellites. Satellites are portable speakers that have a 12-hour built-in battery that can be charged wirelessly by placing them next to the subwoofer or on an induction charger.
