Creative MUVO Play Portable Bluetooth 5.0 Speaker, IPX7 Waterproof for Outdoors, Up to 10 hours of Battery Life, with Siri and Google Assistant (Black)

Product Information

The MUVO Mini is very much Creative’s outdoor speaker, because it iscertified to be weatherproof to the IP66 standard,no less. In practice, this means that – provided you don’t submerge the unit in a bowl of water – it will stand up to the wetstuff perfectly. This is very handy for impromptu barbecues, motorhome rallies and festival fun when you’re at the mercy of the unpredictable British weather. If anything, to my ears, it sounds like the sound profile of the MUVO Go leans prominently into the higher mids and treble frequencies. Vocals really pop out, as do acoustic guitars, pianos or other mid to higher-register instruments. This can make it a good choice for singer-songwriter styles, with those supporting lower frequencies all helping to create a rich sound.

The Creative MUVO Play is a speaker that offers a high-quality audio experience. It is designed for use in the en_US market. With its sleek and compact design, this speaker provides portability and convenience. The Creative Muvo Go weighs about 570g. It feels really solid when holding it in one hand. There are two speakers inside the speaker grille facing forward. And there are two more “bassy” speakers located on each side of the speaker body facing outward left and right. Together, they can produce symphonic sound that you can never expect from a Bluetooth speaker like this. When you are choosing the right Bluetooth speaker, you should first find out which need it will solve for you. If your speaker needs to be a staple inventory of the kitchen, it can be nice with an integrated radio, so you do not choose the music yourself. If it is for the beach, it could be an advantage to find a Bluetooth speaker that is dust- and water-resistant, since it will ensure longer lifetime and avoid unnecessary and often unavoidable damage. It is always a good idea to look at how loud a Bluetooth speaker can play, as well as the size and battery time. You do not need to worry about the quality, since our amazing buyers have ensured that all our Bluetooth speakers are top quality. Big brands – big soundThe Creative Muvo 2c uses the classic driver array for a small Bluetooth speaker. There are two little active drivers across its front, and a passive radiator in-between powered by the output of those drivers. A blue LED means Bluetooth, yellow means MP3 player, purple USB and green aux input. The Creative Muvo 2C automatically uses Bluetooth when first switched on, so if you’re using the standard mode you don’t have to think about this Mode button too much. Having said that, the Creative Muvo Go is also waterproofed with IPX7 certification. This would be a perfect outdoor Bluetooth speaker to have around when you’re out camping or on a picnic by the river. The potability of the Creative Muvo Go is just perfect for me. The size is not too big and it is not too small either. You can place it on a flat surface horizontally or vertically, whichever way you prefer. Or you can always hang it somewhere, thanks to the detachable shoestring lanyard. Overall audio quality is darn good for small speakers. Of course, I’ve head better, but that comes at a usually much higher price. But for what the MUVO Play was designed for—its small size, handy lanyard and decent audio should provide a fun and easy way to fit music into your daily routine—whether as a single speaker or paired with a second speaker for stereo. What I like

The MUVO Play is a bulbous shape and size similar to the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom speaker—but at half their price. I can’t say if it sounds as good because I don’t have a Wonderboom speaker to compare. However, even if the MUVO Play’s style is derivative, it’s a nicely designed speaker that looks more expensive than it is. It’s round shape and speaker placements provide almost 360° audio. I can't get it to connect to my laptop, however, which is my only negative for this product. (I think this is due to different Bluetooth systems - 4.0 for the speakers and 2.0 for the laptop which is a quite a few years old now, so be warned if your tech is old). Not too much of a problem when my phone has all of my music, but it would have been useful! To produce such sounds, the Creative Muvo Go is powered by a dual full-range Neodymium driver that delivers full-bodied, remarkable audio with powerful bass of up to 20W (40W peak), all made possible in combination with dual passive bass radiators. Even that sounded impressive to me. I tested out the Bluetooth range of the Muvo Mini by leaving my phone in one place and walking around my studio apartment, which is about 30 feet in length. There wasn't a single audio artifact or drop in connection, even through a few walls. When using it as a speakerphone, call quality was just fine and the person on the other end had no issue hearing my voice through the microphone. Final verdictMicrosoft® Windows 10, Microsoft Windows 8.1 32-bit or 64-bit, Windows 8 32-bit or 64-bit, Windows 7 32-bit or 64- bit The sound is great, features are plentiful and there’s even fairly good water resistance. Some speakers in this class and the next have more bass, but most are a lot more expensive and almost none have the same breadth of features. It’s a pity the app and firmware update process are deeply flawed, though. There’s a choice of colours, too. You can have the bright blue MUVO Mini pictured here, or a red, grey or white version. The UE Wonderboom comes across more polished, prettier and more rugged thanks to its weaved nylon grille. On the other end, the Bose Soundlink Mini 2 and Jam Heavy Metal seem more impressive because they have metal shells. American JBL has since 1946 delivered world class sound, and today their Bluetooth speakers are in the battle for the top. With JBL Charge 4, you can get your Bluetooth speaker in a variety of colours. Whether a girly pink, or a minimalistic grey, the choice is yours with this Bluetooth speaker. If you need power in your music, you can upgrade to JBL Boombox or JBL PartyBox 300. Both are a bit bigger than the small versions, and you will notice it! JBL Boombox is waterproof and can handle even the wettest pool parties, and with its giant powerful battery it can play for 24 hours straight. Spark up the party with a JBL PartyBox 300 Bluetooth speaker. Turn on the microphone and show off your singing talent or connect your guitar and entertain everyone with a solo. If you are not much of a musician yourself, you can connect your phone or tablet and play your personal playlists. Accompanied by the inviting disco light in the Bluetooth speaker.

So… important question… what is better than one Creative Muvo GO? TWO Creative Muvo GO speakers! Let’s get on with the video! Some other songs that I usually play are those by Alan Walker or any EDM type of songs. Sometimes you can also find some bass boosted songs on YouTube which I did try on this Creative Muvo Go speaker. It held up quite well. It is a good outdoor Bluetooth speaker that you can get at an affordable price.READ NEXT: Best Bluetooth speakers: Portable, indoor waterproof and budget Bluetooth speakers Bose SoundLink Micro review: Price and competition You can treat the Muvo 2 as a simple Bluetooth unit, but it can also act as a USB soundcard/laptop speaker and an MP3 player. There are six rubber control buttons on the top, and the “M” switches between modes, including these extras.
