The package looks something like this. It is about 9 cm square and the height is about 12 cm, which is compact size enough to fit on the palm as it is.


The feature of Woof written on the back is "micro size wireless speaker of palm size" "powerful sound of excellent sound quality" "premium glossy metallic body" "continuous reproduction of maximum about 6 hours" "built-in speakerphone function" Convenient USB charging "" 3.5 mm AUX input (line input) equipment "" smart voice prompt "" power save in automatic sleep mode "has become.


Package contents are also listed on the outer box. Woof body and USB cable for charging, mini pin jack cable for audio connection, and instruction manual are included in the package.


I opened the door and confronted Woof.


As described on the back of the package, contents are like this.


Woof obtained this time was a silver model. Smooth metallic paint which was close to the mirror surface was given around the entire circumference of the main body. Besides silver, Woof has all four colors of red, blue, gunmetal lineup. In addition, three colors other than silver are planned to be on sale after the end of July.


The measured weight is 254 grams, which almost agrees with the manufacturer's published value of 255 grams. Taking it in hand, I feel a heavyweight if I make it compact size because it has a built-in battery with a capacity of 500 mA.


On the side there was a cute Woof logo printed.


Beneath the logo are buttons that serve as playback controls and volume controls, and microphones for use as hands-free phones.


Since it has a USB terminal for charging the built-in battery and an AUX input terminal of 3.5 mm pin jack on its back, it is a convenient point that you can connect and play back even non-Bluetooth devices.


The power switch was arranged on the bottom of the main unit. Also, since the slip sheet is affixed to the bottom part, it seems to be possible to avoid some situations that slip off the installation site.


The multifunction buttons used for Bluetooth pairing, connection, telephone response, etc. are provided on the top. One speaker is built in, and playback becomes monaural.


Connection with Bluetooth equipment is very easy. In addition to turning on the power supply, it waits for connection with the device, and if you press and hold the multifunction button for a long time, "Ready for Connecting" English sound is played and it enters the connection waiting state.


In this state, just by tapping "Creative Woof" on the connection source screen and connecting it was ready.


When I played music at once, I was surprised a little from the small size to sound with sound quality and volume that I could not imagine. The strength of the bass that does not let you feel the size may be the influence of the body weight of 255 grams.


Nonetheless, there is a limit to the bass that can be reproduced in this small size speaker unit. Therefore, it is possible to drive the battery, put the advantage of Woof which can be carried and placed anywhere, put it in the position of the wall ......


When placed in the corner of the room, the reflected sound from the wall increases the bass and increases the thickness of the sound of drums and bass, so it seems to be worth a try once. Depending on the place to put it is a "bath condition" in which the room's echoing is bought, it is a method that can be taken as not very good in terms of pure audio, but it seems that compatibility with Woof is not bad It was. Above all, it seems that you can taste different ways of enjoying, that the sound will change depending on where you put it.


Using a compact size, putting it on an air conditioner etc, you can set it like the sound falls from the ceiling ......


Because it can be carried easily, it is perfect for accompanying the drive.


When you spend relaxing in the park etc, you can enjoy your favorite music.


Creative Woof seems to be enjoyable in various ways, it is a direct-sale limited product at the creative store, and it is on sale at a list price of 2980 yen (tax excluded).
