Amazing sound!! I’ve been looking for a wireless Bluetooth speaker for a while that not just sounds great but also looks great in my newly remodeled living room and the Crescent is perfect. Plus, it’s a great conversation piece when my friends come over. No one believes the awesome sound I get from this thing.

Calling the Cleer Crescent a smart speaker is almost reductive. Yes, it has Google Assistant built in, but it’s also an easy-to-use Bluetooth speaker and can even pull soundbar duties. The Crescent also boasts spatial playback modes that promise 3D audio just from this single unit, not to mention a striking design that simply demands attention. The two catches initially seem to be the $699 price, and the fact that the Crescent has a footprint several times the size of most competitors. Even so, your cash (and space) investment will be rewarded with something that challenges the best smart speakers and even the best soundbars.

The three audio modes are interesting. Each has its own sound signature. The Stereo widening mode is the one I use the most. It’s the most natural sounding mode—the closest to the stereo we are used to. 3D mode introduces a slight artificiality to music. It’s made for movies and gaming by giving a faux 3D surround sound. It works as advertised, but I’m not a fan of using it for music listening. Room Fill mode actually muffles the sound a bit. It seems counter-intuitive because audio should be louder in a room with people. Humans are natural sound absorbers. Again I’m not a fan of this setting.
I’m continually surprised by how loud the Crescent speaker can get. I’m also pleased with how good it can sound (in Stereo Widening mode). The Crescent can be used for serious listening, but that’s not where it excels. The speaker is great at being placed in a room where you might want music playing in the background night and day. It’s more of a speaker you live with while it plays the soundtrack of your life as you go about your day.
