Cleer Stage Alexa Enabled Portable Bluetooth Speaker Review: Be In The Moment

Third-party reviews

Based on ratings from across the web.
Reviews last updated: August 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about Cleer Stage

  • Excellent sound clarity and crisp, resonant audio quality
  • Punchy bass performance relative to its compact size
  • Long battery life offering up to 15 hours of continuous playback
  • Rugged, shockproof build with an IPX7 waterproof rating
  • Always-on Amazon Alexa voice assistant capabilities
  • Convenient physical controls and easy Bluetooth pairing via NFC
  • Includes a helpful protective travel pouch/case
  • Supports stereo pairing to connect two units together

What customers don't like about Cleer Stage

  • Alexa functionality can feel clunky, glitchy, and less responsive than native Echo devices
  • Built-in microphone easily picks up background television and ambient noise
  • Alexa feature does not work with Apple iOS devices due to software updates
  • Takes a relatively long time to recharge and lacks fast charging
  • App functionality is limited, with users wanting better control over mono/stereo adjustments
  • Difficulties reported when trying to sync and pair multiple smart speakers together

Verdict

The Cleer Stage is a rugged, cylindrical portable Bluetooth 4.2 smart speaker delivering 12W of total power through dual 48mm neodymium drivers, passive bass radiators, and a digital amplifier. Main pros include built-in Amazon Alexa voice control integration via the Cleer Connect app, quick NFC pairing, an echo- and noise-canceling microphone for hands-free calls, up to 15 hours of battery life, and a highly durable aluminum and fabric body with an IPX7 waterproof and shockproof rating. On the downside, it relies on an outdated Micro-USB charging port rather than USB-C, lacks visual/vocal confirmation cues for certain pairing functions, and features slightly bulkier dimensions than some competing travel speakers.
