Power and audio quality without excess
Regarding the power and audio quality of Gear4 StreetParty Wireless speaker, we expected some weakness given in the small size of the thing. Power is actually not staggering, but it is sufficient for a room or outdoor listening in a quiet place. Similarly, the sound is decent, but nothing more. By listening, you can found the sound clear enough, but it lacked bass and magnitude.
Which has resulted in tests by a frequency curve starting at 307 Hz for finishing around 18,396 Hz. Acoustic pressure generated by the enclosure was then 92 dB, which is quite low as most similar products are around 100 dB or more. As an indication, the Logitech Wireless Boombox generates 109.7 dB with a bandwidth of 84 Hz to 20,816 Hz. However, the battery of the Wireless Gear4 StreetParty held not less than 16 hours and 20 minutes.
The verdict
One thing is certain regarding this little piece speaker is that it is perfectly mobile, with its Bluetooth connectivity and battery which provides over 16 hours of operation. Moreover, it has a nice design and a neat finish. Too bad base audio performance, somewhat limited and it is not accompanied by a carrying case to protect it when traveling. This was all regarding the Gear4 StreetParty Wireless speaker.
