Even so, that’s not a surprise, and is vastly outweighed by the various ways in which this combo punches above its weight.Download Now CREATIVE SB0350 AUDIGY 2 ZS DRIVER The closest thing to a fault here is that the Stage V2’s sound isn’t quite as detailed as that of premium soundbars. I also preferred Bass mode for music playback, as it added a little extra energy without spilling over into distracting boominess. Selecting Treble creates a slightly cleaner sound, but Bass will get you closer to the cinema sound you’d likely want from a soundbar and subwoofer - if only modestly.
In comparison to switching between Surround and Dialog modes, tapping the remote’s Bass and Treble button produces more subtle changes. What you lose in high-frequency sparkle is gained in a richness that’s usually alien to such affordable soundbars - a quality that elevated the shootouts in Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045 and made the production-added crowd noise in soccer games a little more believable. Even so, this particular setting makes everything sound bigger, bassier and more exciting. The name is a little ambitious - the soundstage is nice and wide in spite of the Stage V2’s modest size, but it’s not eveloping enough to pass for digital surround sound. Still, the Surround mode is more compelling. The Stage V2’s remote can also switch the soundbar between its Surround and Dialog sound profiles, and lets you choose between accentuating the bass or treble. It’s a bit odd that three buttons share the job of switching between five potential sources, but then you’d only ever want to use one at a time anyway. The IR remote is straightforward as well.

Still, the subwoofer’s slimness could help it fit on top of TV stands and inside AV cabinets. As such it can’t be placed very far away from your TV, which might disappoint if you were hoping to keep it next to your sofa or favorite chair. One thing that isn’t wireless in any way is the subwoofer, and the cable it uses to connect to the soundbar is pretty short.

As long as you remember to plug in the subwoofer to the rear of the soundbar, just connecting your TV via an HDMI or optical cable is all you need to get started.īluetooth pairing is simple, too: both the soundbar and the remote have buttons that activate pairing mode, from which you only need to find and connect your source device through its respective Bluetooth menu. In the absence of any satellite speakers or wireless amplifiers, setting up the Stage V2 is easy enough for any home theater newcomer. You’ll need the latter to switch between sources, of which there are potentially many: HDMI ARC, optical and 3.5mm ports are all tucked away on the rear, and there’s even a USB-C input so you can use the Stage V2 with PCs and laptops. Combined, power output peaks at 160W, which is nearly 100W more than the Streambar.Ī handy set of volume, power and Bluetooth pairing controls sit flush with the right edge, though you can also use the included remote.
Inside the soundbar are just two drivers, half that of the $129 Roku Streambar, but the unusually svelte subwoofer is on hand to deliver some extra power. The way the soundbar tapers slightly towards the back is a particular improvement on the original Creative Stage. The shiny plastic seems prone to attracting dust, or at least making it more visible, but otherwise Creative has done well on aesthetics and build quality. Other than some slightly chunky plastic around the rear ports, it’s nice and sleek, with a glossy finish on top and a firm, finely-crafted metal grille on the front. Happily, the Stage V2 neither looks nor feels as cheap as it is. Congrats to Creative, and be sure to check out the main Tom's Guide Awards 2021 hub for the rest of the categories and winners.
