About this product
The Creative Stage Air V2 is a compact soundbar designed for your desktop, slipping neatly under your monitor to upgrade PC audio without cable clutter or taking over your workspace. With Bluetooth 5.3 for wireless streaming and USB digital audio via the included USB-C to USB-A cable, it connects to your computer, gaming console, or phone in whatever way works for you. There's also a 3.5mm AUX-in jack, and because it runs on an internal battery with up to 6 hours of playback, you can unplug it and carry your music to the kitchen or bedroom without hunting for a socket.
Custom-tuned to punch above its compact size, this 10W soundbar brings clarity to dialogue, games and music your laptop speakers can't manage. It's plug and play. Connect via USB or Bluetooth and you're ready in seconds, no drivers or setup needed. Designed for intimate desktop listening rather than filling a room, it delivers impressive audio quality for a bedside table, home office, or gaming setup. You get the soundbar, USB-C to USB-A cable, and a 2-year manufacturer's guarantee. Compatible with PCs, consoles, iPods and any device with Bluetooth or a headphone jack.

Okay but not great
I bought this hoping it would be a decent TV/monitor soundbar for gaming, but the sound was not as clear as I'd hoped. I returned it and bought the Bose TV Speaker Soundbar instead which is absolutely brilliant.

Nice sound quality for the size. Works exactly how expected

V. Good sound at the price; excellent VFM
I bought this to connect to a Samsung pad. It connected (and re-connects) easily via Bluetooth. The default sound was good, but turning on Dolby Atmos and adjusting the Equaliser made it sound much better. There is a single LED at the front which changes colour according to the connection type (blue for Bluetooth), and a red LED at the rear that shows charging status. I've also tried connecting to a laptop (Bluetooth) and my TV (aux setting) and both work. The battery should be good for the promised 6 hours between recharges. You need to provide your own charger, but a USB charging/data cable and an aux cable are provided. All in all, this is excellent value for money and the sound is very good for this price. I recommend going to the Creative web site for more information, including instructions on how to dismantle the device to remove the battery. I don't know if these instructions will enable a repairer to change the battery when it no longer holds charge, but I'm hopeful.

Excellent….nearly.
Great sound, once sorted out the setting up, which seems a bit complicated. Once set, I’ve left it, and set the sound on the PC.

Annoying. A talking speaker.
Not suitable for my intended purpose due to unnecessary design flaws. I wanted a simple sound bar speaker to connect directly to my PC via. USB. I was not interested in the other features such as Bluetooth connectivity, nor the internal battery to make it portable. I just wanted it to be a basic speaker for the PC. And it does indeed connect via. USB to the computer and works as an external speaker. Until you shutdown the PC - at which point the internal battery decides to keep the speaker powered up and it then starts talking to you, "looking for nearby bluetooth devices". And if you don't power down the speaker manually, the battery will then run flat overnight, so it won't turn itself on again once you power up the computer, meaning it has to be turned on manually. I don't want a speaker that needs manual intervention when connected to the computer nor talks once it detects a source has been removed. Perhaps it's just not well suited to my application, but nowhere does the manual nor any product information supplied mention any of this. So if you want a speaker which talks to you every time you disconnect the USB source, then this is for you. Otherwise, I suggest a more simple USB speaker maybe more advisable.

Good budget soundbar
Bought this to replace Dell twin speakers for my PC. Delighted with the quality and ease of connectivity to other devices. Would recommend.

Great results on a budget!!
Bought this for a van dashboard and Initial thoughts were adequate sound for the price but when decided to place on the floor, gave very impressive bass response in particular, Sounds great!

Very good for the price
Overall a good product, the only downside for myself is that the bass is a little lacking, could do with a tiny bit more punch. Connects effortlessly to my desktop via Bluetooth. Can also be cabled if you prefer.

Great Sound
I bought this to replace my old PC speakers which were past their best. This fits nicely under my monitor and has freed up space on my desk. The sound quality is very good.

Great priced speaker
I got this a little while ago to use with my laptop and steam deck. Glad i did. Volume isn't the loudest at max, but more than enough for general use and a bit of gaming. Setup is very easy via usb on my laptop and via bluetooth on my steam deck. Speaker is a nice size and fits under my monitor i use well. only minor annoyance is the voice that anounces when i turn off the laptop and it's searching for bluetooth, or when it connects to the bluetooth. apart from that a recommended speaker thats great for the price
