CREATIVE Metallix Plus Portable, Dual Drivers Bluetooth 4.2 Speaker with 24 Hours of Battery Life, Enhanced Bass, IPX5 Water-Resistant, Stereo Pairing and Built-in Speakerphone (Black)

Great speakers. I've been using them daily for a few months.The sound quality is impressive for such a small form factor. A HUGE improvement over any built-in speakers. The bass is nice & audible. The sound is rich. The loudness is about average, but definitely enough for me.The battery life is outstanding. Although I leave it plugged in overnight to charge, it lasts a few days after it has been charged.Although I haven't dropped it, the build quality seems very good. It's metal and nice rubber. The base does not flex or anything like that.It does have a small drawback, but this is only applicable to music producers. Within a few seconds it goes into a power saving mode & sound gets disabled. This makes it impossible to use Ableton since it quickly goes into sleep mode, and it takes a few seconds for it to wake up. So, very short sounds could get completely ignored by the speaker. However, this has no impact on music playback whatsoever. On the contrary, it makes the battery life more efficient.

I was looking for a good quality product for a long time and I was close to buying other bluetooth speakers, those with the most comments. I am glad that I chose these. I'm picky about sound quality and I like playing loud, I've worked as a TV editor for years, and always sound quality was important. Now I was looking for something portable, inexpensive to accompany me in every place (I did not want to invest in something very expensive) I've known Creative for some time and so far it has not disappointed me. It is very well balanced when it comes to sound, quite loud, it keeps the batteries for a long time and is solid and waterproof. The only thing that annoys me is the loud notifications during the start and connection. I would recommend!

I bought this speaker to replace an ion road rocker which stopped working after years of use.This speaker may not be as loud but the battery life, clarity and size make up for that.The speaker looks and feels of high quality(rubberized exterior), once paired quickly connects every time.The sound is nice and clear and you are unlikely to hear any distortion unless you have a particularly bad quality source to begin with (I think I only found one track so far).The battery life claim of 24 hours seems about right at 3/4 sound level (I've only drained the battery twice so far).You do get an audio warning when the battery at which point you may have about 10-15 minutes of additional use.The speaker comes with a charging cable but you will need a USB wall plug or plug into a PC etc to charge.Some people may want a louder speaker or a speaker with more bass, but this is loud and clear enough for me.

This has quickly become my primary speaker for listening to music in the flat as it's just so easy. Loud enough and clear enough to resonate through the whole room and still sound crisp. Simple Bluetooth interface connects automatically once you've paired for the first time. Can handle noisy metal and sombre classical without loss of fidelity on either.This is my second Creative speaker; the first lasted a good 5 years and followed me on holidays, to festivals, and spent plenty of time stuffed in to bags and backpacks. The Metallix is even better, feels substantial and solid. Sound quality is better. My only issue is that the power button is occasionally slow/unresponsive.

Have been using Creative products for many years. Headphones, mp3 players, speakers. I generally love their products.This one is no different. Great speaker. Easily paired, great sound. Even a bit too strong to be honest. I've had other similar size speakers, but this one has almost double the volume!Just be careful with your bluetooth version. It paired with all my new devices except my phone, which is old and uses a previous bluetooth.Overall i would definitely recommend this speaker. Great value for the money

An excellent product. Solid build, great battery life and great sound for a Bluetooth speaker. Seamlessly connects every time and the 3.5mm cable override is also never any fuss. The connection voice and sound can be a bit much but not a reason enough to skip on this.

I bought a pair of these after looking around for a while for linkable, stereo Bluetooth speakers and I'm really impressed with how well they perform. Setup was easy and the sound really fills a room. They were first used in a big kitchen/diner while on holiday and were a big improvement over the single speaker we used to use.

Like the title says. I had a similar size speaker by another brand worth 6 times more than this one, but the sound quality is about the same. I definitely recommend this as a portable speaker for laptops, tablets, phones etc.

Why is this fantastic, visionary company not a household name? I have bought many Creative Technologies products over the years starting with the ground-breaking 6GB Jukebox 20 years ago. Yes, Creative invented the IPod and I instantly had a suitcase full of CD's in a box the size of 3 CD's. It still works BTW. Then 15 years ago the Creative T20 was the best sounding computer speaker set and maybe still is. Mine were $80 (much better than paying $350 for inferior bling brands) and still work fine and sound great after 15 years of daily use. This new Metallix lives up to the legacy. Amazing sound, battery lasts longer than you need. Great build quality, great price point. I am so happy with Creative.

Mucha potencia para su tamaño, muy buena calidad de sonido, excelente la duración de la batería. La construcción es de muy buena calidad. Muy buen precio.

Altavoz satisfactorio, tiene una buena relación calidad-precio. No dudo que existan mejores en el mercado, pero a costa de un precio mayor, obviamente. Para un uso no profesional cumple las expectativas; un sonido claro y con buenos bajos.La duración de la batería es ligeramente menor que la indicada porque seguramente haya sido computada en condiciones óptimas (nivel de volumen bajo) pero aún así de momento se comporta muy bien, (le queda un 60% de batería y habrá sido usado unas 8 horas).El volumen máximo ofrece una sonoridad más que suficiente, por lo menos en estancias cerradas, habría que probarlo al aire libre, pero creo que no habría problemas.El alcance del bluetooth es bueno, pudiendo estar el móvil en el salón, y escuchar sin problemas el altavoz en otra habitación. No he hecho pruebas al aire libre, como he dicho, para ver el alcance máximo.En definitiva, un buen producto de un fabricante, Creative, cuyos dispositivos suelen tener buena calidad, y conmigo siempre ha sido un valor seguro (obviamente, habrá opiniones para todos los gustos y experiencias más o menos positivas, según la persona).

Une excellente petite enceinte qui restitue un son très agréable et pas "étouffé" comme ça arrive parfois sur de petites enceintes.Je ne peux pas me prononcé sur l’étanchéité car je n'ai pas été confronté au problème.Un seul petit défaut mais c'est presque négligeable : Lorsque l'enceinte s'allume une voix se fait entendre expliquant que l'enceinte est prête pour se connecté à un appareil Bluetooth. Le volume de cette voix est assez élevé et je n'ai pas trouvé le moyen de réduire son volume. ou de la désactiver.

Ich habe inzwischen 7 Bluetooth Lautsprecher, zwei davon sind die Metallix Plus, die ich mir mal zum Testen mit einer Freundin im Zweierpack direkt bei Creative gekauft habe (ein Lautsprecher für jeden). Unser Hintergedanke war, dass wir die Lautsprecher wegen der kleinen Bauform und geringen Größe mit auf unsere Tanzreisen nehmen können, um jederzeit Musik zu haben. Die Portabilität ist sehr gut! Geladen wird über Mikro-USB, ein Kabel wird mitgeliefert, ein Netzteil nicht. Es kann gleichzeitig geladen und Musik gehört werden und die Akkulaufzeit ist mehr als ordentlich (kann ich leider nicht quantifizieren).Neben der Portabilität sind die Lautsprecher auch vom Klang sehr rund (für die Größe) und erstaunlich laut. Letzteres ist allerdings auch ein Nachteil, da die minimale Lautstärke für meinen Geschmack zu hoch ist (für Musik zum Einschlafen) und die Sounds für Statusmeldungen ("connected", "disconnected", ...) sind echt sehr laut.Zwei Lautsprecher lassen sich zu einem Stereo Pärchen koppeln, deshalb habe ich mir noch einen zweiten Lautsprecher gekauft und nutze jetzt ein Pärchen am Bett zum Filme/Serien schauen sowie zum Musik hören. Absolut genial. Die Kopplung ist unkompliziert und nach dem erneuten Einschalten finden die beiden Lautsprecher sich automatisch wieder.Insgesamt ein absoluter Preis-Leistungs-Kracher (Wortspiel .. hehe) den ich uneingeschränkt empfehle. Lediglich die zu lauten Statusmeldungen und die hohe Minimallautstärke empfinde ich als nachteilig.
