Matthew, Ashford

Score 9.0/10

+ Really easy to use. Sometimes using bluetooth can freeze but its not to do with the speakers its the phone! Make sure your software in your phone is the most up to date version, helps to prevents problems. It comes with a lead to plug in things like your MP3 player into the back of it so its pretty good. And it can run on batteries - bonus and even got a carry case - another bonus!

Pocket Lint expert review

If you have all your music on your MP3 player it makes logical sense to invest in a set of active speakers that allow you to access it in your room and allows you to get rid of your current stereo. The Gear4 BlackBox allows you to do exactly that, either through a wired 3.5mm jack directly from your player, or by using Bluetooth...
