Creative MUVO 2 Portable Water-resistant Bluetooth Speaker with Built-in MP3 Player Review

Audio/Speakers&Amps by stefan @ 2017-06-11

The MUVO 2 speaker from Creative water resistant capabilities is able to tackle all the splashes from rain or at the pool, can combat dust during travel and is available in multiple colors in order to match your style. Versus the smaller 2c variant, we now get two full-range speakers which have been fine-tuned from the factory along with a central passive radiator, which can deliver decent bass for an unit as small as this one (67 x 190 x 380 – H x W x D). The 2200mAh built-in Li-ion battery can deliver up to 10 hours of music (depending on the volume levels) and the speaker does accept inputs from various sources such as USB, analog jack, Bluetooth or microSDHC/SDXC cards. In case we need to take a phone call, MUVO 2 does still have us covered, because it can be used as a speakerphone for smartphones that do support hands-free profiles (HFP).

Packaging, A Closer Look Part I

Not long ago, we have tried out the palm-sized water-resistant Bluetooth speaker from Creative, which was named MUVO 2c; for a such small speaker, we were impressed with its loudness, and clarity, the downside being that the bass was quite non-existent. The company has developed a larger version sporting the same water-resistant (IP66) capabilities but this time incorporating two in-house tuned full-range speaker drivers, with a central passive radiator, in order to enhance the low frequencies output. The product is shipped inside a compact, transparent plastic casing, which allows the potential customers to take a look at the speaker without even unsealing the box:

Plenty of information about the MUVO 2 capabilities are available on the sides and here we will learn that if we also pair two MUVO 2 speakers, we can obtain a wider Stereo effect:

The top plastic cover is held onto the chassis with two lateral plastic clips:

On the bottom area of the enclosure, we will get to see several stickers, which do include the package contents, the product serial number, the manufacturing date and more:

After removing the top cover, we will get to see that besides the actual MUVO 2 speaker, we do also receive some bundle components:

To be more exact, we are receiving a Worldwide Warranty leaflet, the Quick Start Guide, the Safety and Regulatory Information but also an USB cable:

Inside the Quick Start Guide, we get a description of the product main interfaces, instructions on how to select the sound source, but also the procedure of installation depending on the chosen source:

MUVO 2 comes in Metallic Blue, Black, Metallic Red or Metallic Grey colors, does weight only 340 grams and incorporates a Li-ion 2200mAh battery. What we do need to take into account is that the MUVO 2 is splash-proof but should be not submersed into water (as the manufacturer clearly instructs inside the manual):

On the top area of the unit, we’ve got a smooth textured plastic surface, with two LEDs (one for the battery status and the other for the mode we are currently in), a microphone port but also no less than six rubber hardware buttons (Power, Bluetooth pairing, Mode selection, Volume -/+, Play/Pause). Several other functions can be obtained depending on the mode we are in:
