Review on Creative Stage Air: Portable & Compact USB-Powered Soundbar with Big Bass, Bluetooth, AUX-in & 6-Hour Battery Life by William Belczyk

I do NOT like the recorded voice that announces "pairing mode, waiting for device to connect" every time it goes into bluetooth mode. The blue-green LED alone is a sufficient indicator. The voice becomes tiresome very quickly and completely redundant unless you have visual impairments. And don't try to fall asleep with this battery-powered speaker, or you might wake up to the same voice repeating "low battery." The battery is empty. " until you get out of bed to stop it. INCREDIBLY RUNNING! Why force me to do this? My phone doesn't. Nothing else does. When the battery dies? That being said. The 4 buttons could be operated more easily, without looking at it. They are covered with a single piece of rubber which makes it difficult to tell them apart by touch. Other than that I like the simple look and feel of this soundbar and the sound quality is good enough. I have them inside and out used with bluetooth and aux and had no problems with it. Creative needs to release a firmware update which kills the voice. That would be a big improvement. At first I gave this soundbar 4 stars but for a while when I got the voice in lived, my mind changed.
