Gear4 Launched In The Philippines

Gear4 is a brand owned and managed by Disruptive Limited, a UK-based company established in 2004 and one of the first companies to create a dedicated brand of iPod accessories under the name of Podgear label.  In 2006 they rebranded to Gear4 which made its products in many of the leading UK retailers.  Presently Gear4 holds one of the highest sales volumes in the European market for both the docking audio and MP3 accessory markets.  The passion for music and the desire to do justice to the capability of iOS devices have helped Gear4 evolve into what it is today.

For this year the British brand has partnered with Iontech, Inc. which is one of the Philippines' leading distributor for IT and consumer electronics, introduced their speaker system and accessories in Philippine market.  Iontech believes that Gear4's sound quality and the innovation that they introduce into every product from the entry level to the flagship models will make a very big impression on the Philippine market.  Speaker docks like the 16mm thin StreetParty Size ) will find its way to many bags and backpacks of teens who love to share their newest tunes.   And the 30-watt boomer HouseParty 4 Evo is sure to host many living room parties.

We are now in the verge of mobility and the desire of having freedom in motion that's why Gear4 created a range of wireless Bluetooth speakers.  More choices and more speakers to fit in every personality.  The HouseParty Rise 2 Wireless and the HouseParty Portable Wireless know that whether at home or on the beach, you can just simply have the mood for a dance.

AirZone Series 1 Speaker

The Airzone Series 1 is the flagship product of Gear4 that will let audiophiles sit on their listening chair, at their most preferred distance, and listen to inspiring reproductions of their favorite jazz and standards through Apple's AirPlay wireless technology.

It is pretty obvious that people in Iontech were in gusto as Gear4 has collaborated with entertainment media company, Rovio, to create an Angry Birds line of speakers.  These are all well crafted speakers that play real loud and good sound.  With the launch of the Bad Piggies game, the upcoming Angry Birds animated series, and the much awaited holidays, Gear4 has timed the release of the Angry Birds Mini speakers.   Five adorable birds from the famous game that fans will love to collect.  And they probably will because they can be linked in series to make a long speaker line as well.

What intrigues me more is their other products that are well sync with the current demand for different apps or applications.  Gear4 created the SmartLink App.  Free from the iTunes store, installing it will work wonders for a Gear4 SmartLink compatible dock.  The app features a music player that allows access to your music library and display album artwork in full screen.  It has an FM radio that can auto tune, save and organize your favorite radio stations.  It adds clock and alarm functions that will sync to your iPod/iPhone/iPad.  The app will tell you the current climate on the animated weather display and up to five days forecast to help you plan the week ahead.  SmartLink will also let you do all these wireless if you wish.
