Creative Stage Air V2 2.0 Portable Bluetooth Sound Bar Speaker - 10 W RMS - Black

Great sound bar as it price.

No te vas a arrepentir, llevaba buscando éste producto por meses pero no estaba en Amazon de México, solo estaba el modelo versión 1, que también es bueno, pero yo quería el modelo versión 2. Cuando apareció por fin éste producto versión 2 aquí vi que tampoco era caro, incluso es más barato que en otros sitios, La batería es de mediana duración, tampoco la uso mucho, pero la batería es suficiente para mi, además, la puedes usar mientras se está cargando, yo la uso en mi PC, buscaba éste producto en concreto también por las medidas, ya que no dispongo de mucho espacio en mi escritorio y cabe perfectamente debajo de mi monitor, no suelo escuchar música a todo volumen, pero tiene un audio bastante potente, incluso la puedes usar en una fiesta. Tengo entendido que aún si se acaba la batería la puedes seguir usando conectándola a tu celular con un cable, como si fueran unos audífonos de cable. Muy buena calidad de construcción: Se me ha caído un par de veces y no se dañó ni las vocinas/sonido, ni la carcasa de afuera.

I bought this to replace the Creative 4.1 set connected to my computer in the den. I wanted the convenience of pairing my phone with it the times I want a little background music when doing non-computer stuff, and honestly, I really do not need surround sound there and would like to reclaim the space it occupies. When it arrived, I connected it to the computer in my bedroom to test it out. They blow my older Creative 2.0 speakers I have in this room out of the water. Clear, crisp sound and a powerful bass in such a relatively small package. I was listening to one particularly loud song but I could still make out the delicate "tink" of the high hat. Welp, I just ordered two more, once more for the den because this one is not leaving my bedroom, and another for my Chromebook in the living room. Creative, there is a reason why I continue buying your products going on three decades now!

First and foremost, I wasn't expecting high fidelity. I wanted a decent sounding sound bar for my macbook that didn't take up much room. I first tried a $40 ONN from Walmart, which was longer. Very disappointing as far as sound. It was so flat with no range at all, no matter the settings. After digging around, I decided on this baby and am not disappointed. For the size, and just listening to music and videos, the sound is very acceptable. At first, I tried to do the power and sound through the same USB-C source. This just simply does not work well out of a macbook, so I used a power adapter for the USB-C and connected via bluetooth. This is the sweet spot. Another plus is that it fits right under my monitor, out of the way of the other clutter on my desk. Worth the money.

UPDATE: After about a year the battery was toast. Now I have to drop my review from 5 stars to 2. My faith in Creative has been greatly diminished. My advice is to spend a little more on a better brand. UPDATED UPDATE: The unit no longer powers on. I have dropped my 2 star review to 1. The only reason you get one star is that Amazon will not allow me to rate you at zero stars. Creative, if you are reading this. Please do better, I have been faithful to your brand since the Soundblaster 16 and I even bought the ZENvision, and this is way bigger let down. This soundbar is pure garbage, and Creative is a brand that can no longer be trusted.

The Creative Stage Air V2 2.0 is a great compact soundbar that packs a punchy yet smooth bass and clear highs. I purchased the Air V2 after initially buying (and returning) the Nylavee SK100 which had zero bass response and flat highs. One minor issue is the highs lose clarity because the speaker angle is parallel to the desk which directs the sound towards your chest while sitting. There is a significant improvement to the highs by propping the speaker tilt upwards towards your ears. This is a great speaker for $40 on sale. --Review Update: As many other customers have already stated, the soundbar battery has failed and does not receive a charge anymore. The soundbar now randomly turns off despite being plugged into a charger. The battery is not easily replaceable. Do not buy.
