Creative ZiiSound D3x Wireless Bluetooth Speaker (review)


 
Its my 2nd time to try a wireless speaker and my predictions are correct that wireless bluetooth speakers will be the new trend tech for music fans. I’ve tried the Creative ZiiSound D3x Wireless Bluetooth Speaker last March 2012 during a meet up with Creative marketing managers, thanks to Haoson for inviting me to a techy dinner with Creative and from there, I got introduced to their latest wireless product. I already blogged about the wireless headphones on that month and today, I’ll blog the wireless speakers. I’ll borrow some photos from fellow bloggers BNL Magazine and Rezirb,because my hard drive died last Holy Week and all my photo files are gone and that includes the Creative ZiiSound D3x Wireless Bluetooth Speaker.

The Creative ZiiSound D3x Wireless Bluetooth Speaker, is a rectangular modular speaker, the design is light weight and it still sports an old net cloth that covers the speakers, I really hope that they should stay away from that kind of design because it doesn’t look nice if the net cloth are damaged or be stained, we can’t tell what will happen if we bring this speaker to another location. But my guess is that the Creative ZiiSound D3x Wireless Bluetooth Speaker is designed to stay at home only.

The bluetooth features of Creative ZiiSound D3x Wireless Bluetooth Speaker are compatible to any devices with bluetooth technology, from an old Nokia phone, iOS devices and Android devices. We tried all kinds of devices with bluetooth tech and its funny that you can even play mp3 music using your old (we used a super old Nokia phone) phone to stream it with Creative ZiiSound D3x Wireless Bluetooth Speaker. I used my Android smart phone and it runs so smooth, I've tried playing some music videos and it streams very well, but sometimes there's a 0.1 seconds delay with the audio and video, but its okay.


I tried playing some games using my smart phone and stream it wireless with Creative ZiiSound D3x Wireless Bluetooth Speaker, its a fun activity to show off to my friends that I can play Assasins Creed and stream the sound via Creative ZiiSound D3x Wireless Bluetooth Speaker. I also used my music app, like the Guitar and piano app and we can stream the audio going to Creative ZiiSound D3x Wireless Bluetooth Speaker.

I've tried the FM radio, but you still need to connect a wired headphone just to activate the FM radio, but streaming is not working..I don't know what happened.

The Creative ZiiSound D3x Wireless Bluetooth Speaker can also work with another pair of  Creative ZiiSound D3x Wireless Bluetooth Speaker  and the two speaker can stream both music coming from the bluetooth enabled device, another beauty here is that you can also add Creative ZiiSound DSx Wireless Sub Woofer speakers for awesome audio quality. The Creative marketing guy told me that you can use as many Creative ZiiSound D3x Wireless Bluetooth Speaker and connect the via bluetooth together, if you have a store, a shop or a restaurant, this speaker will be good add on audio system for you, and if you have a big house, you can install as many speakers around the house if you want to have a nice music ambiance every day.

The next thing that I want to try is to watch a DVD movie and stream the audio via wireless using this speaker.
