Your results may vary depending on the placement of your subwoofer and how the subsonic waves interact with the walls and furniture. The sound of Creative Stage V2 is comparable to a pair of bookshelf speakers, delivering a satisfying full-range sound that is balanced, relatively neutral and without any excessive frequency exaggeration. What’s missing from the original Creative Stage is the preset EQ, so I guess Creative hopes to offer a more faithful sound tuning without confounding listeners on which preset sounds better. There are a total of 10 adjustment steps for each band.įor devices connected with Bluetooth and USB-C, you can control the playback and track changes from the remote control. There are dedicated buttons for surround mode and dialog mode, but a single button to select treble or bass before using the +- button to adjust the level. The layout is very user-friendly: it spreads out the five input modes over 3 buttons so that you do not need to press 5 times to get to choose from the 5 modes.
The remote control uses 2x AAA batteries (not included). The buttons do not exhibit any audible mechanical click sounds. Clicking the power button toggles the various input modes. The soundbar goes into pairing mode automatically when no device is connected. The usual connectors are all located behind the soundbar.Īt the right side of the soundbar, there are volume control buttons, power and the Bluetooth button. Other improvements include a detachable C7/C8 2-pin AC cable, Bluetooth 5.0, digital audio via USB Type-C connector, a redesigned remote control that looks a little more upmarket with its brushed aluminum-looking plastic faceplate. Here are some noteworthy differences between the two generations.Ĭlearly, the Stage V2 soundbar module is little more beefed up – 800g heavier, 13cm longer, deeper, compared to the V1 which has equal dimensions front and back. It now feels more polished and less budget than the first 2.1 soundbar. Creative decided to slightly increase the retail price to S$149 while improving the overall specs and design. It has been two years since the launch of the Gen-1 Creative Stage, so an update is much expected.
