It’s partly due to timing being less than regimental, partly to do with missing some of the intricacies of dynamic expression, and partly to do with a slight lack of punch.

It’s a pleasant performance overall, but we’d just require a little greater vivacity for the full five stars – a sense of excitement and anticipation that truly draws us into the music. Totem seems happy enough organising the densest orchestral arrangements just as it would relay a more straightforward duet. Our music hangs together well, with enough space for instruments to breathe, despite not being the most airy of soundstages. What we want from a product such as this, especially when it comes to Bluetooth, is a fuss-free and cohesive presentation, and that is what the KIN Play provides. Despite a marginal softness to the overall presentation, detail is plentiful enough for us to be satisfied with the financial outlay. The midrange could do with a little more presence, but it couldn’t be described as particularly recessed. There’s a good amount of weight to the bass, without it taking over the mix, and we don’t feel as if the top end is overly capped. We tamper with the bass and treble controls a little, but if you can place these speakers a decent way into the room and on dedicated speaker stands, the balance is pleasingly even.
There is still a slight grittiness to the treble, but it is by no means harsh. That’s not a criticism, more a warning not to judge these speakers straight from the box.īecause, eventually, they really do sound quite good. That’s nothing unusual, of course, but our particular unit has a piercing hardness to the treble that takes longer to calm down than many other speakers we’ve tested. Totem recommends 50 to 100 hours playing in before the KIN Plays will begin sounding their best.
