Well....this speaker is simply OK, Why?
If you are looking some stylish, beautiful, very portable but sound quality is not the first priority for you (I'm not telling sound is bad), this is the one for you!
Build quality:
WOW! once I received I thought "this thing is so beautiful, the blue color is just great!, one thing are the picture, one so different is seeing it", believe me, top quality built.
Battery:
The first time I turned it on, it said "battery is about 75%" pressing Bluetooth button twice, (the voice is like a robotic woman). I used it for two weeks while taking morning shower and getting ready to work (30-40% volume), so it was about 1 hour per day. I can say battery lasted about 14 hours. Just conclude.
Sound:
This is why I can't give 5 Stars. I have tested and owned too may Bluetooth speakers in range of 100-200 USD (mini jambox, Sony, Logitech UE Boom and min Boom, JBL Clip 2, Charge 2, Pulse, Creative Sound blaster Roar, and of course Bose Sounlink Mini) but I didn't wanted to spend so much money and I needed to be splashproof.
Then I played music finding that bass....OMG, where are the bass?? Am I asking too much for a small and lightweight speaker?, OK, voices and instruments are really clear, so sound is not bad, it is OK.
Comparison to others:
UE Mini boom: Beatiful, really nice rubber touch felling, incredible loud for the size, but sound is absent of bass and general sound it too much clear, so discarded.
JBL Flip 2: Sound is really clear, loud enough, but again, bass???, and when you take it in your hands it "Cracks", so it is not the best construction.
JBL Charge 2: Is almost the same as flip, bass are better but not enough as Roar, not even close to Bose. You get here some improvement and is the availability to charge your phone. $150...not the best option.
JBL Pulse: I didn't notice any difference between this one and charge 2, just the lights, lights....uhmmm....uhmmm, no words, just I didn't like it.
Bose Soundlink Mini: Small, incredible loud for the size and really good bass, OMG this little thing has the power! So I wanted it, but $200, I don't know...
Creative SoundBlaser Roar: Not so small, a little heavy, $150, but man....the sound is the best, you will really have the best bass and the best sound due independent amplifiers; all other are garbage except Bose (it is some pricey and bass are not as deep as creative, but better than others). Obviously comparison in the range of 100 - 200.
Finally, you get what you pay for, Creative MUVO is not bad, but paying $59 for incredible battery life, water-resistant, good sound but lack of bass; I think is an option to have in mind.
If you don't want to spent $150 for the Roar, or $200 for Bose Soundlink Mini, take a look to Sharkk Boombox: it is like the same size as Bose soundlink Mini (just a little bit bigger), the bass is almost the same too, but sound is clearer and more crisp; battery, OMG, I received one with 4400 mAh (amazon says it just 2500 mAh and 10 hours) but mine lasts 18 hours (the box says that). Actually I'm using it for the first time, I charged it almost full, then I started to play music about 50% volume. Right now after 19 hours and counting battery is about 30%....price $59!!!! definitely the Winner!
Creative, Bose and Sharkk didn't pay me for any advertise, it is just I like good speakers and good prices!

You couldn't break this thing if you tried
Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2019
I've had this speaker for around 4 years now and I've put this thing through the ringer. I cannot believe it's still going. I've completely submerged it multiple times, splashed it and soaked too many times to count, had plenty of bad drops and missed throws where I was sure it wouldn't make it, and even got nacho cheese in the micro USB port and did it stop going? Absolutely not. I even dropped it in some jelly consistency used fryer grease right on the face plate and I just sprayed it off and it kept on going. It saw some horrible things in that restaurant and has been covered and caked with all kinds of different food but this things unstoppable. I think creative teamed up with Nokia to make this thing. And for the price you can't beat it. The sound quality is better than your typical speaker and probably the best in this price range. The battery life is just as good this thing will go all day. The only real issues I've ever had with it are that sometimes when the battery gets low and the bass hits on a song it'll squeak. And sometimes when I plug it in it will power on which is annoying because now the USB port is messed up and I gotta hit it just right to get that charge and it won't stop turning on in the process. But all of these things are excusable because they're almost certainly result of my neglect to this poor thing. But I'll leave it at that. You will not regret this purchase.
