Review on ๐Ÿ”Š Sound Blaster Creative Stage V2 2.1 Soundbar with Subwoofer, Clear Dialog and Surround Sound, Bluetooth 5.0, TV ARC, Optical, and USB Audio, Wall Mountable, Adjustable Bass and Treble, for TV by Rachel Flores

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great soundbar/sub for the home office, after setup

I bought this because I was tired of listening to music over surround sound in the living room when I was working in the office. Bass wasn't punchy, mids were muffled, and treble was muffled at lower volumes. I even tried adjusting the equalizer on the phone and soundbar to no avail. Simply that way. I connected it to my PC via a USB-C to USB-A cable (use that if you can, instead of the auxiliary 3.5mm cable), waited for the drivers to install, and started the music playback. Once again I was unimpressed by the mids and lows at lower volumes. I looked for an equalizer in the advanced settings under the speaker and found a setting called "Room Correction". DO THAT. My computer created an equalizer profile based on feedback and the shape of my room. Now this soundbar and subwoofer have some bass, crisp mids while preventing the highs from distorting at low volumes and I can crank them up to the max on the soundbar and on my PC without crackling or distortion. He rebuilt this soundbar and subwoofer combo to work on par with my home theater setup in my living room, which is deployed in a much smaller space. If you're tech-savvy, this speaker will work great in a home office space. If you're looking for a Bluetooth-only connection and your phone/device doesn't have a robust equalizer to overcome built-in deficiencies, look elsewhere.

Pros
  • Speakers
Cons
  • Poor manual
