There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
This speaker is advertised as dual purpose of using with a desktop or taking it out as a portable speaker, since it has a battery. You can connect either with Bluetooth or usual Audio connector. I tried Bluetooth with my iPhone and I can play music in my iPhone without any problem. So I could take it out for a picnic, relying on its battery, if I want, although I am not sure if I ever do it. I basically use this as a desktop speaker, always powered, connected to desktop with an audio cable.
Because it is also marketed as portable speaker, there is auto power off after 15 min of inactivity. This is inconvenient if you use the speaker with a desktop computer and want to leave the speaker on all the time. Every time you do not touch the computer for more than 15 min, you need to push the power button to turn the speaker on. Otherwise the speaker doesn't work. However, as some reviewer mentioned, I found Creative provides a firmware which disables auto power off. I installed it and now there is no longer auto power off. Well done Creative!
Sound-wise, I am by no means an expert, but it sounds much better than your typical two-small speakers. Bass is much stronger, and I enjoy watching movies more with this speaker, than other (cheap) speakers I have. of course there's no comparison with my serious speakers in terms of sound quality, but for a speaker to be used with a desktop PC, with this price point, I am super happy.

Lo recomiendo
The only drawback is the sound becomes very loud (particularly with movies not so much from the dialogue but from heavier bass thumps and such. Although this is by no means a completely negative it just means I have to lower the volume a little to not disturb my neighbours when the sound involves a lot of bass. Then just increase the volume to continue hearing the dialog which doesn't take much because the sound quality is excellent. Usually, I don't need to go above 20 on the Creative display (the display maximum shows level 35), and loudness/clarity is more than adequate.
Overall I am pleasantly surprised by the high quality of this product. Creative products have always exceeded my expectations and this Stage soundbar is no exception, it rocks! Purchase this product with confidence and you will not be disappointed. I am extremely happy with my purchase.
The separate subwoofer really fills out the sound nicely, without making the rest of the sound murky. The soundbar speakers are surprisingly very clear and responsive. The Bluetooth connection is a nice feature but can be a bit finicky and can result in some loud pops as it tries to connect with your phone. But Bluetooth works well if you remember that your device (e.g. phone) controls the overall output and that range might be limited (like most Bluetooth devices).
The remote is tiny and will probably end up lost in the sofa cushions but it’s functional.
Note to the manufacturer: Being able to consolidate remotes and control the subwoofer with my phone or existing TV or Apple remotes would be welcome.
Overall I’m very happy with this system.
The sound is decent, and enough to fill a room. I have it plugged directly to a monitor, and set-up was super simple. Also, the nice compact size enables it to sit anywhere. Really amazing value for the price.
