Review on Creative Intelligent Splash Proof Bluetooth Technology by Aneta Jastrzbska ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I do not cease to rejoice at the purchase, a very good deal!

I was looking for a replacement for my Philips P9X, which had a dead battery. This column was shortlisted because I use other Creative techniques and trust them. The sound compared to P9X is slightly less juicy, but perhaps this is due to the lack of support for the aptx codec. For this price, it completely suits me - both at home in a chamber setting, and in the country, where you need to cover more space on the street. The bass is impressive - you really do not expect such power from a baby. As written in other reviews, to evaluate the sound, both the location of the speaker and the distance to the walls (which will reflect the sound) are really important. The presence of an equalizer can help bring the sound to the ideal, but after experimenting, I settled on the included Roar mode. Of the problems - an unexpected shutdown of the column. I conducted an experiment - the smartphone showed 50% of the charge of the connected column at the moment when it turned off. At the same time, the indicator was green (although it should change color depending on the charge - through yellow to red - this problem was written in other reviews). By the time it was turned off, the speaker worked for 8-9 hours at a low volume and with the Roar mode. Perhaps the battery is already stale (according to the seller, the model was assembled on 04/19). The second problem is silence when returning to the speaker and connecting via bluetooth after losing connection (moving with a smartphone to another room and back). In this case, the player on the smartphone (both spotify and sound blaster) show that playback is in progress, but in fact - silence. First reconnecting bluetooth saved me, but then I found a faster way - to switch forward using the button on the speaker case. In general, a bug. Creative is distinguished by some inconveniences, but a lot can be forgiven for the sound :) I recommend the column!

Pros
  • Sound, water resistance, controls on the case, the availability of an equalizer, the ability to play tracks from an SD card, a speakerphone function.
Cons
  • Incorrect display of the charge, silence when the bluetooth connection is lost/resumed.
