Audio accessories über brand GEAR4 has launched the BlackBox and BlackBox Mini - monolithic and spaceage looking Bluetooth stereo speaker systems.
Combining 'exceptional audio performance and cutting-edge design', the BlackBox is tapping into the retro-cool revolution in its deep gloss finish and invisible LED display that only leaps to life once your music starts to flow. The touch-sensitive controls are equally funky if only because they (needlessly yet brilliantly) light up blue as you approach. Yep, we're suckers for some pointless flashing lights and aren't ashamed to admit it.
Compatible with A2DP Bluetooth mobile phones and MP3 players, the BlackBox pairs up with your audio source of choice to deliver a 24 watt output from dual stereo speakers. There's also a mini USB port for future Firmware upgrades.
The Mini operates in exactly the same manner as the, er, Maxi, and works with four AA batteries. Both are supplied with carry cases and are available now - the BlackBox for £100, the Mini for £50.
