I'm looking to replace my stage 1 which I love figure I'd buy either an new model or spend more for something i watch music videos and gaming is it worth the effet
This SP-STGEAV2-BKA soundbar has a serious flaw. I think it's probably a defect caused by the battery. I think they are using a very poor built-in battery. I used it for about a year and it broke once, and I had it replaced with a new one under warranty, but it broke about 5 days ago. It's fine if you buy it disposable. I don't recommend it to anyone else.
Bought Stage Air V2 like 3 months ago, and it constantly diconnecting whenever heavy thumping in any videos/ musics. Need to manually turn it on again and set the volume to 50 so that it would stop disconnecting. Battery issue ?
I’m using mine wirelessly, with my projector. My cinema room/cave has wood floors, so is very boomy. I could never follow dialogue on movies because of the bass heavy sound from the projectors built in speakers. Even when I used wired speakers, the 20ft distance from the speakers to me, meant by the time the sound reached my ears it was boomy. Tried EQ, with little difference. I bought this and its fantastic. No latency, and my projector only has Bluetooth 4.0. Positioning the speaker just next to my couch, means the sound is crystal clear, and I don’t have to have the volume cranked either. Perfect solution. Less powerful speakers, positioned more closely, are way better in every way as a cinema experience.
Does anyone know if there’s an app or controller so I can switch the volume without using the buttons? I use the soundbar for my PS5 and sometimes I just wanna watch something, and I’d rather have another way to switch volumes 😂
Thank you for the review. Does it remember the last used volume setting after restarting the speaker? I hate it when many other kinds of Bluetooth speakers forget that I set them to low volume and they shout at me with loud "Device is ready to play" etc. messages every time I turn them on. I wish this speaker had also playback from MicroSD cards and USB flash, but no big deal, I can use my phone or mp3 player anyway. Also, I wish it has at least minimal splash protection in case I want to use it outdoors.
Thank you for your feedback on the Creative Stage Air V2. It's great to hear that you found the review helpful. Regarding your question about volume settings, I'm pleased to inform you that the Creative Stage Air V2 does remember the last used volume setting after restarting the speaker. This means you won't have to worry about being startled by loud notifications when turning it on. While the speaker doesn't have built-in playback from MicroSD cards or USB flash drives, you can easily connect your phone or MP3 player to enjoy your desired music. Although it lacks splash protection for outdoor use, you can still use it in a protected environment or find alternative solutions for outdoor settings. Overall, the Creative Stage Air V2 offers a convenient and portable audio experience with the advantage of retaining your preferred volume setting and the flexibility to connect your preferred devices. cnl
@Digital David hmm yeah I thought the speaker itself has 2 speakers inside it though. Are they spaced enough that your are able to distinguish left side from right side sounds?
If that's what you consider "surround sound," then I guess it is! I always thought that mono is one speaker, stereo is two, and surround sound is more than two speakers that are placed around the room. ~B
I cant take anyone who tests a soundbar by pointing it *away* from both yourself and your microphone which is focused on being off camera rather than well set up for an audio related review...
@@DigitalDavid just got them today and very impressed so far. Cheaper than the t100 but I prefer the sound from the T60. I'm no audiophile but I think they sound good for music apps and TH-cam videos. T60 has USB connection to PC, including Linux! AND built in DAC. Yep 👍 very happy with purchase
When use USB connect to PC， can it auto-power-on when pc start? or every time i have to power-on it manual after my power-on my pc?
I'm honestly not sure on that one.. I feel like it would, but I can't say for sure

I was thinking the same… any answers for that question?
How would you compare this with the creative stage SE?

Hey, great review! how is the soundbar holding up ? is there any issues with it so far ?
No issues to report back!
~B
was there any issue with sound latency when used in gaming scenarios?
Nope! Not that I noticed at least!

Jesus saves ❤
U just need sound tuning. Do cinema sound boomy because speaker is 50m away?
I think the soundbar you examined has reached you by passing the atmosphere of the earth. The box and the device itself are full of dents.
The sample shipped it this box from Singapore 🤣😭😳
@@DigitalDavid thanks for your review.

hmmm good question... hopefully someone replies with an answer for you. I don't know of any!
If you put the PS5 to rest mode does it stay powered so you can use as a BT speaker?
I think you'd still have to change the mode to BT maybe?
@@DigitalDavid but does the PS5 still give off enough power to keep it charged ? Or will you be running off battery

So does any one know if there is a companion app for the Creative Stage Air V2? thx
If creative doesn't have one for it then idk of any! Hopefully someone else does!
Great review.
Does it have surround sound?
Surround sound requires more than one speaker

Thanks for the feedback! Really appreciate that!
ships from Singapore..? I'm from Singapore, and I have not seen this model in stores yet... hmm...
My sample shipped from Singapore but that's direct from the brand. Obviously customers ordering from Amazon will get from local inventory!
You can find at tampines mall 4th floor
@@dyhawxyde7393 I have creative stage air brand new if you interest
"popular" book store available.
Sur Xbox série s?
Used the V1 soundbar and found them to be too boomy or bassy. Dunno about this though - gonna try the T60 instead.
Lmk how you like the T60s!
