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

Product Information

On James Blake’s ‘Limit to your Love’, a track known for its heavy sub-bass, the Muvo Play struggled to adapt to the constantly changing tones but generally performed adequately. Underneath the soft touch plastic exterior, you’ll find two full-range micro driveres and an oversized bass radiator, which combine to produce adequate (if not sensational) sound at room-filling volumes.

But what if you just want a small speaker that can be used outdoors where it might be splashed with mud, dropped into a pool or just plain mistreated? Being certified with a waterproof rating of IPX7 means Creative MUVO Go can withstand splashes and be submerged in water 2. The drivers are still somewhat indirect, but with stereo imaging, there is an obvious front to point at the listener. It’s easy to point out what the Muvo Play lacks in comparison to more expensive speakers, but that would be a pointless exercise. The Creative MUVO Go is equipped with powerful drivers that produce impactful audio regardless whether you are indoors or outdoors so that you keep the good times rolling!Without prejudice to our other rights, if you fail to do so all sums whatever owing by you to us shall forthwith become due and payable. Pressing and holding the power button turns on the speaker and begins the Bluetooth pairing process. Creative MUVO Go lets you listen to your favorite artists for up to 18 hours 1 with just one charge.

For indicator lights, you have two: one below the power button that indicates if it is on or not and one above the charge port that changes colour when charging to let you know the battery capacity status. It’s also nice to see that the volume controls from the mobile device you use are in sync with that of the speaker. The MUVO Play is a rare, affordable speaker that sounds good at a decent volume and pairs with a second MUVO Play speaker for true stereo that won’t bust your budget.

Enabling the Bluetooth connection has now allowed me to connect to the Nest Hub from my phone's Bluetooth settings, but I'm still not having any luck pairing the Nest Hub to the Muvo speaker via the Google Home app (even when telling Nest Hub to turn on the Bluetooth). The charging via USB type C is pretty painless and quick, and pairing the device is pretty easy via Bluetooth and synced no issues with Android / apple. The only way to determine current charge level is to plug it in and check the LED by the charge point. The speaker is weather-resistant, so you can keep it near the pool or in the shower, and it’s fairly portable too.

The Muvo Go is simplicity itself when it comes to controls: (R to L) Volume-up, volume-down, and play/pause buttons. I tried stereo mode on a couple of songs that feature extreme stereo; “Welcome to the Machine” by Pink Floyd and “Moving in Stereo” by The Cars.Interestingly, the speaker was strong on classical music, with Vivaldi’s ‘Four Seasons’ sonata sounding excellent. The Mini comes with an IP66 rating for water and dust resistance, allowing it to survive splashes of water (if not outright immersion). On the making of a request by us to you to deliver up such goods your rights to sell, use or otherwise deal with the goods shall cease. The first time I fired up the Muvo 2 with a microSD card full of music, it started out playing these game sound effects which were in a sub folder that I forgot was even on there. AVRCP) Audio / Video Remote Control Profile Operating Frequency 2402–2480 MHz Operating Range Up to 10m / 33 ft*, *Measured in open space.

Combine that with good waterproofing, great battery life and the latest Bluetooth standard, it is a great option for using at the great outdoors. Unfortunately, Creative’s companion mobile application only works with their more expensive speakers. This makes it one of the most affordable speakers on the market right now, but there is stiff competition in the budget sphere.

That said, competitors like the Earfun Uboom L and the Tronsmart T7 offer all those things plus deeper bass and several other non-essential features that are nonetheless nice to have.
