Here’s My New Favourite Travel Gadgets for 2023

CREATIVE MUVO Go Portable Waterproof Bluetooth 5.3 Speaker

I love my music, and honestly, having to spend the whole trip with headphones in can be a bit of a grind sometimes. We have to setup an office wherever we stay, with multiple laptops for video and photo editing, as well as uploading content, writing articles, and general site duties too. That means that even when I’m on these luxurious sounding business trips, I am quite often still sat at a laptop. As you may know, laptop speakers, for the most part, suck at playing music.

In comes the Creative MUVO Go, the latest in a long line-up of award-winning portable speakers from Creative. I have had a bunch of their speakers over the years, but the Go is by far one of my favourites now. It’s got a massive 18 hours battery life (but more like 12-14 when you crank it up louder). Despite it’s compact size, it’s got a huge sound thanks to the dual full-range drivers and the bass radiators that add significant thump to your music.

It’s also fully water proof with an impressive IPX7 rating, which according to those standards should mean it can withstand 30 minutes of water submersion at up to 3 feet depth. I don’t know about that, but I had hung mine in the shower and it’s been left out in the rain once already and it’s absolutely fine. So for a business trip to Taipei where it rains heavily daily? With big sound, and a compact 570g design, I think it’s perfect for the job.
