the creative stage v2 soundbar is not only a great device for your tv
but also a worthy addition to your pc desk setup and today in this review and unboxing we'll be
checking out the creative stage v2 soundbar and seeing if it's worth your hard-earned cash
make sure you stay tuned you don't want to miss this
what's up guys welcome back to tech it easy so we've got some more audio equipment from creative
today this is a creative stage v2 soundbar and that's not all it actually comes with a pretty
beefy subwoofer as well and we will focus more on the bass later on in the video before we continue
if you could consider joining the discord server there will be a link down below we're trying to
grow the community and get everyone involved in the channel a bit more so let's kick things off by
talking about the aesthetics so as you can see it features a very compact design perfect for either
a tv setup or even a desk setup albeit a large one i in fact do use it with my desk setup i did have
it downstairs with the tv but i just thought it looked much better on the desk and that is one of
the beautiful things about it i much prefer having a sound bar than two speakers which have loads of
different wires hanging around it's much easier to cable manage and it just looks a lot cleaner
it can just slide neatly under your monitor and pc soundbars are actually quite hard to come by
or at least hard to come by good ones and i will say that the creative stage v2 is a good soundbar
so the design of the creative stage v2 soundbar is actually kept pretty simple there's not any
unnecessary buttons along the top it's all kept really nice and minimal i'm not even sure you
need the buttons on the side but i suppose they are nice to have if you can't find the remote
so on the right hand side you do have your bluetooth pairing button along with the volume
up and down buttons but as i mentioned you do get a pretty decent remote with this using the
remote you can switch to surround sound and back off again you can change the volume bass treble
and a few other bits it also looks pretty sleek and doesn't actually feel cheap at all and that
is one big selling point for the creative stage v2 it comes in around 100 pounds and in my opinion is
excellent value for money i always say that about creative products they're very well known
for having very good sound to pound ratio okay so let's look around the back of the soundbar and see
what sort of connectivity it has so of course the creative stage v2 is actually a bluetooth speaker
so you can use it with your phone your pc anything that has bluetooth enabled but also around the
back you have an optical aux usb and a couple of others this is also where you will plug your power
in and your subwoofer pretty much going to cater to everyone's needs here so personally i'm pretty
happy with the connectivity options so how does it sound so i'm actually going to move on to a quick
sound test before i give my opinion on how it sounds now in my creative pebble review i did
say in the video that i wasn't going to do a sound test and everyone commented saying like
why didn't you put a sound test in i didn't put sound tests in because the quality is only going
to be as good as my microphone and your pc or phone speakers so really it's quite pointless but
since everyone wanted a sound test i'm going to do one anyway just to get a feel of it so here it is
so hopefully maybe you've got a little bit of a feel for the sound from the stage v2 but i'm
going to give you my opinion so all round i think it's a very well balanced audio setup but i want
to move on to the subwoofer and that bass now it's definitely enough however i was definitely
expecting a little bit more it doesn't really rumble and even when you put it up to this max 5
on the soundbar using the remote it still doesn't really have that heavy sort of thundery feeling
which for a lot of people would be fine but i know a lot of you are bass addicts i've definitely
heard things with heavier bass so something to bear in mind there sound quality overall is
great for listening to music and especially gaming that has been my one true love with this soundbar
watching movies has also been a delight and i absolutely love putting the surround sound mode
on that really doesn't make a difference all in all as a package as i said earlier it's absolutely
amazing value for money it's super compact and i'd almost say it looks better on a desk than
underneath your tv or if you do happen to have a small living room set up it's going to be perfect
for that i just like how the stage v2 is just not over complicated everything is very simple
and just as it needs to be really i don't have any complaints i do love that they also added a
small digital display on the front that's really handy to see when the volume is up
down what mode you're in on all those bits so just before we wrap things up for today
i want to quickly go over some of the specs so it is of course a 2.1 surround sound sound bar
no dolby atmos or anything like that on this one it's also wall mountable which is great and if you
were interested it has two 20 watt satellites a 40 watt subwoofer with a peak output of 160 watts
so i've kept this video relatively short today but really it's quite difficult to
review audio equipment on youtube because you can't really get a good feel for it take my
word for it i think this is an excellent product as always from creative there will be links down
in the description to check the latest prices as always let me know your thoughts on the stage v2
is it a worthy addition to your setup or have you got something else in mind before we go if you
could like the video and subscribe to the channel if you're new around here that'd be awesome
also don't forget about the discord channel and hopefully i'll see you in the next one
