this is the creative halo a Bluetooth speaker with some very cool RGB effects now first impressions when unboxing it r1 it feels very sturdy and solid it's got no rattling to it and to the RGB light show has got mirrors behind it which makes it look very cool it's only got the LEDs on one side though which is a bummer as it would have been even cooler to have it on both sides in the Box you get a manual and a micro USB charging cable you don't get a wall adapter with it so you either have to charge it through your computer or just use your phone adapter with it bluetooth pairing is fast when you're already paired since before however it would have been great to see the NFC feature as well which many other speakers in this price point have it makes it a lot easier to pair by just placing your phone on a specific spot and clicking yes instead of trying to search through bluetooth and not finding it and also I don't think the NFC module is that expensive so yeah the fact that it's not there is a con so how's the sound well my opinions on this sound are mixed the high-end is clear and detailed however the bass is lacking which is a shame because that's what you're looking for punchy bass with a clear and detailed high-end and mids however with this speaker you just get the latter and sadly not so much of the former also a con for the speaker the lighting effects are as mentioned before looking very three-dimensional and to say the least very cool and even better than that you can choose between about 12 different effects in the so-called X spectra they're all very well made and because of the mirrors behind the LED lights it all looks very cool and all of this is packed inside of a reasonably small wireless speaker technology has come far in terms of i/o you've got two ports on the back one for charging and one if you'd like to use an aux cable for like a more stationary use of the halo perhaps pairing two of them in a desk set up up top you've got the usual controls from the is power volume down play pass and answer phone calls next to that button is the microphone for those aforementioned phone calls following the microphone the volume up button and next to that the button to switch between the twelve lighting modes if you don't want to use the expect trap it's also got this fixed strap on its left side which I guess makes it easier to hold and not drop it to be honest I've still got no idea why speakers have these since I never used them however I'm sure that there's people out there using them otherwise they would not be there so yeah it's just in the way for me but might not be for you in terms of battery life they're claiming up to eight hours which i think is accurate and that is phenomenal eight hours is most likely an entire day of music listening so they have definitely chosen the right sized battery so how much does all of this cost six to nine US dollars now whether that's worth it or not is definitely up to you guys the consumers however in my opinion I think it's sitting at a decent price what I would have liked to see though is one more base and two NFC pairing but other than that the creative halo is a unique well built quality wireless speaker so what do you guys think about the creative halo let me know in the comment section down below like and subscribe if you haven't already and I'll see you guys in the next video peace
