This week we have been able thoroughly test two new wireless speakers from Creative brand, the Muvo 20 and the Sound Blaster AXX200. Two very different speakers for different uses and needs.
Muvo 20 is a big speaker, with very good sound and bass (especially when the volume is high) and a price very, very, competitive. Sound Blaster AXX200 is a more portable device, with many more features and loaded with surprises, ideal for the most demanding.
Creative Move 20
El moved 20 it is a device that has really surprised me, it's big, it's powerful, and it's cheap.
If a general failure of speakers with battery is the lack of power, the lack of good bass and bass when you increase the volume, even many times the lack of a powerful volume. Muvo 20 does not fail in this regard (with technology with a double widened bass port tube), but it does it on the basis of size; has a length 33 centimeters and weighs 1 kilogram (which in its size makes it seem light when taken in weight).
Connectivity Bluetooth synchronization NFC (Where do you get Apple?) And a battery lithium ion that allows 10 hours reproduction in addition to the possibility of recharge your iPhone or any USB device. It incorporates a microphone to allow it to be used as a hands-free and one of its buttons allows you to answer and hang up calls, as well as stop and continue the music.
Its design is designed for optimal sound distribution both horizontally and vertically. It is available in black and white and You can buy it for 79,99 euros in the official Creative store, with free shipping.
It has a little brother, the Muvo 10, smaller size, colors, a handle to hold it and only 8 hours of battery life, but you can buy it for 20 euros less than its older brother.
Creative Sound Blaster AXX200
In this case we are talking about a much more complete device with many functions. Sound Blaster AXX200 is not just a portable speaker, it is a complete sound card. Its SB-Axx1 audio processor allows it to function as a sound card connected to a computer and is also capable of processing music and calls in real time to enhance audio based on noise conditions.
It also has Bluetooth and NFC. Incorporates 4 microphones to record in any position and from any angle, ideal for calls in conferences with several people. Your processor will eliminate the noise from those calls there is even an option VoiceFocus which will remove all sounds other than human voice.
It is a device de much smaller size, practically half of the previous one. His weight it is also half that of the Muvo 20, only 500 grams. However, this does not make it sound worse, on the contrary, for a speaker of this size it has an impeccable sound. Similarly it is smaller but its bateestuary lasts 50% longer, up to 15 hours (which also allows us to recharge our iPhone).
It allows you to play music from an SD card, record audio, calls and even use it as megaphone. In addition, its applications for iOS allow us to modify our voice in real time while amplifying it, and use it as karaoke.
We highlight their touch controls In the upper part of the device, the LEDs that inform us of the remaining battery in the base of the device and the interior distribution of its speakers and microphones designed to work in 360 degrees. It is only available in this metallic "white" color and Its price is 149,99 euros with shipping included in Creative's own store, the same price as its most direct competitors and with a number of functions capable of overshadowing any of them.
Conclusion
If you are looking for a device laptop, with good battery, light and feature-rich AXX200 is your speaker, you can use it for a myriad of things and it sounds infinitely better than other speakers of the same size and price.
If you are tired of portable speakers that do not sound well and you don't want to spend 300 euros to buy a quality mid-size speaker like the Bose Soundlink 3 with the Muvo 20 you will get excellent sound at a great price.
They are speakers for very different users and needs as we said at the beginning of the article. Regarding value for money, I prefer the Muvo 20, but it is clear that the AXX200 has no competitors in its line.
