About this item

VOICE RECORDER - Take advantage of the impressive quad microphone array to record anything, directly onto the microSD card slot. This is great for recording phone conversations, speeches, discussions or even your own demo track.

MOBILE WIRELESS TELECONFERENCING SYSTEM - Simply pair your smartphone to it via Bluetooth and you're ready! With the SBX Pro Studio & CrystalVoice technology, you can eliminate surround noise and focus the call on you by activating the VoiceFocus and Noise-canceling function. What's more, all conversations can be recorded simply by inserting a microSD card into it.

Our clever microphone reverb algorithm amplifies your voice to sound better than it really is! Simply stream your favorite karaoke tunes from your smartphone and start singing along!

Love this intelligent wireless sound system for its sound and multiple features

Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2014

Verified Purchase

The speaker sounds great as expected from creative. Clever design of shape and multiple features. I love the Karaok and voice change features. Plus it can also record your streaming music to a micro SD card for later listening. Cuts down your music purchase. Easy to use and operate. Would give it 5 stars if I can upgrade it to 48khz voice recording as the features claim. As it is the recording is only good for phone calls not for singing and music. What a waste they set the recording default at 16 khz and impossible to switch to 48 khz recording. If creative tech support get back to me to help me to change the recording from 16 to 48 khz I will be glad to raise my rating to 5 stars as the product is designed for.

Feb 12,2014 update: Successfully upgraded to 48Khz recording with help from creative tech support. Now the sound system is perfect. Upgraded my rating to 5 stars.

Feb 13.2014 update:The more I played with this system the more I am impressed. It is a blue tooth speaker, karaok machine and a music recorder all in one. On top of all that the most amazing thing is its first class sound blaster chip. The sound of the speaker is limited by its size. The excellent sound card will shine if you connect a high quality earphone to it. What wonderful audiophile music you can enjoy. It enhances the visual effect of all my 4K photos as I am listening to my HD 600 earphone. I used a Sennheiser HD 600 earphone, what wonderful sound results from this sound system. It is heavenly enjoyment. Kudos to creative labs for bringing this excellent sound system to us. I will definitely get another one for added pleasure. Highly recommend to all enjoy high quality audiophile music and a fun geek toy to boot. If you are impressed by the sound, quality and features like me, buy it definitely. Superior value and worth every penny.

Powerful, convenient bluetooth speaker!

Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2014

Verified Purchase

This is a very underrated bluetooth speaker in a overly competitive portable speaker market. In summary, the size, weight, vertical design, sound quality, and functionality, all for less than $150 is the best value you can get. Here is a quick summary of the pros and cons:

Pros:
- Convenience: very light and vertical design means it has a smaller footprint than most, allowing for you to place it just about anywhere
- Sound quality: very loud and crisp sound quality, plus if you download and use the app it gives you flexibility to adjust the EQ
- Functionality: unlike most bluetooth speakers, this is also a voice recorder, built in MP3 player, karaoke megaphone, and more
- Value: everything I mentioned above for a very reasonable price
- Durable: while I've only had it a few weeks, I've brought it with me to the park, BBQ's, thrown it in my backpack, etc. and it sounds as good as ever

Cons:
- Volume adjustment: sometimes difficult to make small adjusts to the volume level with the vertical slide volume design
- Buttons on back: felt a little cheap, but they work just fine

Most people my age gravitate towards the heavily marketed Jambox, Beats Pill, or Bose, but they are missing out on what might be the best value and sound quality portable bluetooth speaker on the market. Really like the vertical design so you can put it just about anywhere.

Clever features, fun design, but sound quality fall shorts

Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2014

Verified Purchase

I purchased the AXX200 at the CES show when it was supposed to be on a "show special" sale for $150. Turns out the "sale" wasn't so special (same price here at Amazon). I also have a hard time believing they'll ever get "list" price ($299) for this speaker. Today on the Creative Web site, I see they're now trying to say the speaker is worth $375, but you can get it with the "dock worth $75" for $229 for a "launch special" (the dock is $60 here on Amazon, making your total $210).

Unpacking my speaker was fun. And it's a bit of a strange design. But, that leaves the footprint small, and that's a good thing! First I had to charge my speaker (there was some charge upon arrival but I wanted to get a full charge.) Thankfully, it uses the now-standard micro USB cords that I already have many of for my phone, and other electronics (and comes with it's own charger, of course.)

Bluetooth pairing with my devices was relatively straight-forward. A handy sticker near the back reviews how to do that. It's a good thing the sticker is in place, because, honestly, this thing is kind of a bit more difficult to use than I would hope. Press the same button once to turn on the speaker, press it for 2 seconds to get into pairing mode, press for 5 seconds to turn off. I mean, there's already a lot of buttons and stuff on this speaker, but they might've added a couple more. or a slider to make it easy to turn off an on, and put in pairing mode. With my Samsung Galaxy S3 phone, I was able to get it to pair via the NFC feature okay.

There are 6 "buttons" on top of the unit, along with a "slider" for volume control. All of these buttons are just touch enabled, as is the slider. A BRIGHT blue light on the front top shows what mode the Bluetooth stuff is in, with 3 tiny lights on the bottom showing available power left in the rechargeable battery.

If you turn the unit on, even with nothing paired, it does seem to put out an awful lot of noise when held up to the ear. Sounds almost like a fan running in there!

This thing is pretty small. Think the size of a large sunglasses case! And a sturdy case, at that. The front grill and back are made of a nice feeling metal. It feels of quality. But the size appears to also be a downfall. As a person who listens to dance music alot, bass is important. And this speaker produces VERY little. Every streaming station or dance tune I played sounded distorted and harsh at louder levels. The audio quality of a Bose SoundLink speaker, while a bit larger, FAR exceeds the sound quality of the AXX 200, and manages to give decent bass, even at high levels, and in a small package.

The call recording feature seems to work fine, but it's confusing to tell whether the speaker is actually recording or not, so don't get a criminal to confess without having a backup plan. In fact, telling what the speaker is doing is kind of the hard part all of the way around. I've made a recording. Now do I push "play", or the "record play" button? What is now playing? What mode is the speaker in? Without the manual for regular reference, or unless using the features regularly, they're not at all intuitive. An addition or two to the top display could've solved this.

Also, "it's an MP3" player. Yes, indeed. NOT AVI, NOT M4A, NOT WAV. Pretty much anything of this price range should play all of the major popular formats. So, dragging tunes from iTunes to an microSD card will not work, unless they're MP3 (or WMA, but iTunes doesn't play those anyway.) Don't assume they just left out the other formats in the description. They simply don't work.

The "teleconferencing" feature, otherwise known as a "speakerphone" does seem to work okay, but I have not used it in a large group to get sounds from around a room.

The megaphone feature is a bit silly, but does seem to work, and some effects can make your voice sound strange.

The software apps for iOS and Android seem to largely mimic the controls on the speaker itself, and while they do allow changing of the sound profile, and few other tweaks, they seem mostly unneeded. On iOS, there is actually 3 apps, that all seem to have a crossover of features, or could have been easily rolled into one. And really? Do I need a "remote control" app function for a speaker with I wouldn't ever get more than 50 feet away from for it to be of use?

The Creative Web site also alludes to Sound BlasterAxx Bonus Pack for PCs software, but it's not in the box (or on a simple microSD card they should have included to get you started), nor available for Mac, and further, is only a 30-day trial. You have to download this from the Web site, where you can also get a free control panel software for your PC or Mac. The installation of the software on a Mac actually requires a reboot. Really?

One of the features I LIKE is the ability to connect 2 BlueTooth devices at once... So, keep your phone, and your computer connected, or iPad, or whatever. As long as audio isn't actively playing from one, it can play from the other. (You can't mix audio from two devices together.)

At the end of the day, it's a decent speaker, and would certainly catch my eye at around $100. At $150, I start questioning my purchase, and at $299 or $375, I think they must have gone mad. The sound quality is sub-par to me, just because it has some highs, and a lot of mid-range, but no bass. The noise when nothing is playing seems high, too. The controls are not so much difficult to use, as to know WHAT you're doing. I feel like I'll need to laminate the instruction manual to make full use of the speaker over time. I've considered sending it back, but, alas, I've thrown the packing out, and I'm sure I'll use it for something.
