I bought a new speaker today, with money loaned from my parents. It is from a little known Singapore brand, Divoom.The model I bought is Divoom Titan 767 ($69). Lets do a comparison between it and my 3 year old Creative SBS 370 ($39) which is no longer in production, although the current Creative SBS 390 should sound similar to 370.

Design
I have to be honest here. Although my creative one feels more solidly built, the Divoom one won hands down in terms of design. With its slick black colour and open drivers, you can see the powerful drivers vibrating like mad.

Sound stage
How wide the sound stage is refers to how “wide” the range of sound that can be produced by the speaker is. Divoom won again here. It has very nice sounding highs, although its bass is not as powerful as that of Creative SBS 370. Mids in Divoom sounds “hollow” at time, perhaps due to a low end speaker trying to emulate a wider sound stage. Because Creative SBS 370 has a narrower sound stage, it sounds more “compact”.

Clarity
In this segment, Divoom won again. Due to its nicer sounding and more defined highs, it gives me the impression that it has much higher clarity than Creative SBS 370.

Bass
Although Divoom 767 has a subwoofer at 25Watt RMS, its bass sounds weaker and softer than Creative 370, which has a more punchy and a bass that is ever present (This can be annoying to some listeners.) Creative SBS 370 wons here.

Wired Remote Control
Both comes with a wired remote control for volume adjustment without the need to reach the back of the sub woofer. However, Divoom Titan 767’s wired remote control comes with an audio in and headphone out jack, allowing you to easily plug an audio player into the speaker, and also a headphone with no hassle. You can’t do that with Creative SBS 370. The volume adjustment knob on Titan 767 is also large and round, which is very fun and easy to use.

Features
The Creative SBS 370 only has adjustable bass level, while the Titan 767 has adjustable treble and bass.

Pricing
At only SGD39, Creative SBS 370 is certainly more value for money than Titan 767 (SGD69) by a lesser known brand, Divoom.

Final Verdict
If you are low on cash, and loves bass more than anything else, the Creative SBS 370 (or SBS 390 being sold now) is the way to go. However, if you prefer a more rounded sound and better design, Divoom Titan 767 is certainly your cup of tea. However, if you happen to own both, like me, connect them together in parallel with a speaker and enjoy both of them together. SHIOK!
