Electronics : GEAR4 HouseParty 4

Rating: - just fab
Just received this item, on the recommendation of the two previous reviews. What value for money, it sounds good, definately not tinny, equaliser, fm radio and a remote all for £45 brill! I've decided to use it as a portable instead of home stereo, even though its slightly bulky the sound is good, i had purchased another one for £100 but i think this is definately good value. My only gripe is that the cables not long enough! Go on give it a try.

I bought this for the kitchen and I cannot fault it for £45!! It is not BOSE but for £250 less it is a great buy. The remote works well, for the best sound I fiddled with the Ipod settings before the Gear4 equaliser. More than loud enough, plus I am told my Iphone will also fit it!

We bought this as a present for our 14 year old daughter. She thinks it's brilliant! The detachable speaker is very useful and does not need batteries - although you loose a lot of the bass when you detach it from the back. Definatley worth having

I bought one of these for my other half, and I am so pleased with the sound quality of such a small unit. Initially I tried a Wharfedale dock from Argos for approximately the same price, but when I got it home, it sounded absolutely awful - no bass definition whatsoever, and a pretty puny sound all round, despite (allegedly) having 25W output.

So I swapped for one of these Gear4's. There is just no comparison - this sounds amazing. Great bass, but thats also coupled with very clear tones when listening to either quiet pieces or anything classical. You have a handful of preset equaliser settings, which all alter the sound pretty well. The inclusion of a radio is also a handy feature - not many of its rivals have the same.

All in all, I'd recommend this Gear4 to anyone - its a good price, nice looking and quality unit!
