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)

Picked up the black version and had it for a few months now and primarily for use in the bathroom. Some of us listen to music paired with the phones while other audiobooks relaxing in the bath. The unit itself is pretty compact with a rubber and mesh outer layer and it does float in water to some extent. On the outside in terms of buttons there is the power button which has a blue light on which indicates the status. A volume up / down button which when paired with certain apps like google music when double tapped can go back and forward a track. There is a rubber cap and under this cap which keeps things watertight is a 3.5mm jack and the USB type C charging cable. On either side of the speaker is a pair of silver passive radiators and the music comes out the centre mesh area. It is pretty omni-directional and fills a 5m x 3m room pretty easy, even with shower running. In terms of sounds its surprisingly solid, it is not going to put out massive amounts of sound, but relatively close by it works great for the music and audio books played back on it alike. There is a little bit of distortion if really cranked to max and with certain track, but largely a non-issue. It is actually water resistant as it has dropped in bathtub when some members are having a soak a few times and its been fine no problem after. Pairing the device is pretty each via Bluetooth and synced no issues with Android / apple devices alike. In terms of battery at 60% volume or so, it does go over 10 hours pretty easy. That will reduce at higher volume levels. When the battery goes low, the blue light on the unit will flash orange. With that said, charging via USB type C is pretty painless and quick, normally from dead to full Battery in a couple of hours. In all we are happy with the device. Sound output while not massive is great enough for us in a mid size bathroom at medium level. It looks attractive and discreet, is waterproof and the battery life is reasonable. In all we are really pleased with the device after few months of use.

Back in the 80s/90s I remember Creative was the go to company for good quality sound on your computer. Was very surprised they are still around, and still provide excellent sound quality that doesn't break the bank. This portable speaker has some good sound and bass for it's size and price. Battery seem to be good, as just charged it once when I took it first time out the box 3 weeks ago and still have around 70% left, which equals around 4-5hours usage so far. Overall happy with this speaker for what it is used for the odd music listening in the kitchen while cooking.

I’ll get this bit out of the way, this is not a bass heavy speaker... I’m comparing this to my Bose soundlink speaker which was 4 times the price but produces much lower bass tones. If you want more bass, buy the larger UE/Bose/etc speakers but at much more cost! HOWEVER, everything else is massively positive! The mids and treble are fantastic. I’ve bought the speaker for my daughter and was blown away by the sound straight out of the box without being bed in. Even on full volume there’s no distortion or clipping, just clean clear loud sound. Build quality is impressive and it has a nice feel to the speaker and buttons. The lower bass levels don’t take away from the quality of sound and quality for the cost hence it getting 5 stars!

I have used many different bt speakers before and this one is the most fiddly to connect, there are sequences of buttons to push, and it also has an annoying power up/down sound effect. Sound quality is quite good. Battery life is a lot shorter than the Bose speaker I own. Does OK for the office!

The other reviews mentioned the amount of bass but I was sceptical. I was also wrong. They are very impressive speakers. I have one on each side of the bed and they’re plenty loud enough for that. They bass is rich, the clarity of the stereo separates is good and it’s quick and easy to pair them together.

Had this now for over 3 years and still going strong. Has been on holiday, used outside, in the bathroom and the garden. Loud enough for most people. No regrets and would buy again.

This is second one of these I have purchased as unfortunately the first got dropped quite a few times & affected the sound, this is a very good speaker with excellent sound quality and good bass! It comes with me when I cook, when I want to chill in the bath, on days out to the beach and barbecues, couldn’t live without it! Great battery life & I love it.

I have always had faith in Creative Audio products going back years. My dad owns a Creative Muvo 2c speaker and it was so great I decided to research creative speakers and stumbled across this Muvo Play. I fell in love with the design, I did my research, I watched video reviews, they were all making it out to be a great speaker so I purchased one. When I received it, the design was as beautiful as I thought. It has beautiful patterned fabric and the technology inside is really great. The Speaker has plenty of battery, Bluetooth 5.0, water resistance and stuff but the one thing that matters is sound and that let me down severely. For the size of the speaker and the rep it had amongst reviewers I was surprisingly disappointed with the performance. The speaker gets REAL loud but I find it severely lacks a warm bass despite the two passive bass radiators on each side of the speaker. I really enjoyed the idea of the 360° sound from the two speakers but they don’t seem to have any character. Comparing it to the Muvo 2c which is 3 years older, far lighter and smaller in size, has a smaller speaker with less output, the Muvo Play is not much better (??) I found that the Play has a Narrow sound with a little more clarity than the 2c. Where the 2c blows the Play out of the house is with the passive bass radiator and fuller more confident sound. For me the Muvo 2c was an easy winner, it is not as powerful or as modern but the sound is far better. The battery life is less and it’s not as water resistant. The Play has much less character and despite the added weight and chunkier “coke can” style enclosure it for me it wasn’t much better than a speaker literally half it’s size. The purpose of buying this speaker was for parties, travelling and use during a shower and so I thought the play would be a compromise between good sound and portability but turned out to let me down for its size. Also worth considering the Muvo Play was £37 and the Muvo 2c which is 3 years older is still holding out at £30 so it was slightly cheaper but in the end returned the play and Bought a Muvo 2c

Ótimo produto. Som perfeito.

Ich hab mir diese Box als Radioersatz für die Arbeit geleistet. Für die hab ich mich entschieden weil mir die Farbe, die Größe und natürlich auch der Preis gefiel. Mit Creative hab ich auch noch keine schlechten Erfahrungen gemacht und auch hier wurde ich nicht enttäuscht. Der erste Eindruck war zwar nicht sehr positiv weil beim Einschalten eine Stimme sich ziemlich dumpf und tief zu Wort meldet was nicht gerade einen Guten Klang vermuten lies, aber sie hat mich sehr schnell eines besseren belehrt. Sie hat 2 Mitteltontreiber und ist dementsprechend gut im Mitteltonbereich was am wichtigsten ist aber sie kommt auch gut mit hohen Tönen zurecht, selbst bei den Bässen hält sie sich wacker was ich bei der Größe nicht erwartet hätte. Bei meinen Tests hat mich auch gefreut das sie trotz der guten 360° Wirkung auch einen recht klaren Stereoklang bewies. Sei kann auch schön Laut sein was wichtig bei meiner Arbeit ist. Das einzige Problem das ich habe ist das sie anscheinend Kompatibilitätsschwierigkeiten mit meinem MP3 Player hat aber das kann auch an meinem MP3 Player liegen, weil der ist von Sony und der hat mit allem Schwierigkeiten was nicht von Sony ist ( selbst Klinkenkopfhörern ), und mit anderen Geräten funktioniert sie einwandfrei. Das einzige was ich bereue ist das ich sie in Orange bestellt habe, für meine Arbeit wäre Schwarz besser geeignet, die wird nicht lange so schön Orange bleiben. Nachtrag: Hab mir jetzt wegen dem Schmutzproblem auch noch eine zweite schwarze zugelegt. Ich hab auch gleich die Sereolink Funktion probiert, ist ein bischen eine Spielerei die Boxen zu verlinken aber wenn sie mal untereinander verlinkt sind geht es ganz gut. Der einzige Nachteil ist das man dann die zweite Box nur mehr verlinkt verwenden kann, bringt in meinen Fall nichts, hab daher den Link wieder aufgehoben. Zweiter Nachteil ist das die Boxen anscheinend bei Bluetooth den gleichen Namen verwenden, das gibt Probleme bei der Geräteanwahl.

Produkt spełnia swoje zadanie. Długo wytrzymuje bateria, jedyny minus to- głośny sygnał o włączeniu i wyłączeniu, którego nie można wyciszyć. Poza tym odtwarza w znacznej odległości od źródła. Dobry wybór.

Después de una semana probando el altavoz puedo decir que he acertado con mi compra. El sonido es más alto de lo que me esperaba para el tamaño del altavoz, y muy nítido y sin vibración alguna. La vinculación con los dispositivos es sencilla, y la duración de la batería está dentro de lo entendible. Me ha durado algo menos de lo mencionado, pero teniendo en cuenta que tenía el volumen alto entra dentro de lo entendible. Por lo que he visto en las instrucciones existe la posibilidad de vincular dos altavoces entre ellos para crear un sistema 2.0. No he podido probar esta opción al no tener dos altavoces, pero no descarto adquirir otro. El nivel de acabados me ha parecido muy bueno para un altavoz de este precio, no teniendo nada que envidiar a otros productos más caros, y el cerramiento del puerto de carga está bien diseñado para que no entre agua. Como peros indicaría el cable de carga del mismo, que podría ser un poco mejor, y la dificultad para acceder al puerto de carga del altavoz. De todas formas, esta dificultad para acceder al puerto de carga es lo que asegura la estanqueidad del altavoz así que me parece entendible. En general la valoración del altavoz me parece muy positiva, con una buena calidad de acabado, facilidad de uso y un precio muy atractivo.
