    No matter what kind of TV you have these are an immediate upgrade from your built in speakers. You can immediately tell the clarity of the audio vs native TV speakers.

    The connectivity options are amazing and its very easy to set up, it has ports for 3.5mm jacks, HDMI ARC if your tv supports it and if you have an older TV it comes with an included optical port and cable as well as USB C and Bluetooth options.

    The bass isn't extreme even at the highest setting but it is tasteful and enhances the sound stage well. Audio is very crisp and you can tune it for "surround sound" which just spreads out the EQ to mimic surround audio or you can choose clear dialogue or just leave it flat.

    It gets plenty loud with no distortion for room filling sound.

    Overall for the price it's excellent and id recommend spending no less than this for a sound setup for a TV as this is perfect and a great entry price and product for a starting setup

    I have an iMac, and I was trying very hard to get a soundbar that's less than 27" so it can fit right under. This one fits the bill and is reasonably priced. First impression is the build is solid, and everything hooked up rather easily. But the sub woofer is not wireless, but not the biggest deal in the world. The sound quality is definitely better than my stock iMac, although nothing to write home about - I guess you get what you paid for. The subwoofer is relatively punchy so that's a plus.

    I tried both USB mode and bluetooth mode. In USB mode once plugged in the volume up and down keyboard controls no longer work. But it's ok. But the bigger issue seems to be that the sound would randomly go away completely and the remote would stop working as well. I would then have to unplug and plug back in for it to work again. So it leaves me w/ no choice but to use it in bluetooth mode. Bluetooth works well, the volume is a little on the light side though.

    But the biggest issue I had w/ this is that there would be random loud popping noises coming from the subwoofer. This is w/ no input from the computer. Yes, this is in addition to the small popping noises whenever I hit the pause button, which, while annoying, is at least predictable.

    Lastly, the remote could be better designed as well, the + and - button on the bottom are meant for bass and treble control - it would've been better if they are for actual volume control, in my opinion.

    Not good enough for me. Returning.

    I bought this because I had an older model at work that was far superior. Big mistake. The volume control doesn't interface well with Windows 10, and it's a hassle. To the point of wondering what they were thinking. It doesn't stay connected and I have to keep going into Bluetooth devices and connecting.

    The battery does last a long time, and the sound is weak. But I'd spend 2x what I spent on this for one of the older model.

    It's a disappointment coming from Creative, and goes to show that new products aren't always an improvement.

    4-13-24 ETA: Performance continued to degrade. Bluetooth would stop connecting and it go to the point I had to reboot my Win 10 computer to get it to connect, and eventually I would have to remove it, reboot, and reinstall. It's not worth if for the poor output and poor quality.

    Any time I switched from Headphones to the Soundbar, I'd have to turn the volume up on the sound bag again. Apparently is a software volume control and resets every time I switch to another device.

    Big time suckage. I am going to replace it, but not with a Creative, which wasn't very creative.

    It's not worth the hassle.

    Easy for Bluetooth and for corded connection, sound quality is definitely great for it's size but more importantly, it can get loud or just the right level of quiet. The sleek look and sturdy build. Just keep in mind a bit heavy and large to not be the best for a backpack, take everywhere.

    I like this Creative Stage soundbar with a subwoofer. The package was delivered far earlier than expected and the soundbar seems to be very high quality as does the included subwoofer. I am currently playing audio files through the connected 3.5mm audio jack and the Bluetooth connection pairs excellently with my tablet and cell phone making sounds come to life and far better than the Logitech 2.1 speakers I was using. This works as a complete replacement and I don't need to connect to my TV, although a TV-arc cable is included for that said purpose. I have this sound bar connected directly to an audio port on my Windows 10 PC. The smaller LCD conveniently shows what audio source you are connected with and also displays the volume level when increased/decreased.

    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.

    For movie nights in our living room, or blasting music via Bluetooth, this is a decent unit. While you can’t expect the crystal clear cinephile/audiophile sound quality of a more expensive unit, it does the job.
    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.

    This speaker is actually very good. Plug it in to your gaming device and it sounds incredible. Better yet it is also battery operated and acts as an incredible Bluetooth portable speaker.
