Customer Reviews

The blackbox gets better. Buy a Blue stream
As well as sounding great and looking amazingly modern I love the fact you can pair your laptop or phone to this wirelessly. I bought the Gear4 stream attachment for your Ipod last week and the bluetooth range works from different rooms

The biggest bonus is being able to use your Ipod as your remote now so I can change whole albums or artists whilst chilling on the sofa or moving around from a distance.

I'd recommend these products to anyone because they are truly different and have great functionality.

disappointing
This is an interesting device but a bit of a triumph of style over content. Agreed, it links easily to a bluetooth phone and generally functions ok. My gripe is that the sound quality does not live up to the excellent appearance of the unit. The bass is impressive but the top end is very poor with no real treble at all.

I thought that a firmwear upgrade might help but there is no mention of the use of the usb lead in the manual and the device itself is not listed on the gear4 website at all! I wonder if this was a foray into a market from which they have since withdrawn?

A great shame as this is a fantastic looking device with generally good functionality let down by mediocre sound quality.

Gear4 Blackbox
This is a terrific piece of kit for those who are fed up of poor laptop speakers. Hooking up to my laptop took about 2 minutes and the sound quality is great, despite some reviews i'd read elsewhere. Great looking & sounding; this is the kind of technology and design that is highly under-rated and should be used a lot more - it's got a great 'wow' factor as well!
