Creative Stage Air V2 2.0 Portable Bluetooth Sound Bar Speaker - 10 W RMS - Black

Great sound bar as it price.

No te vas a arrepentir, llevaba buscando éste producto por meses pero no estaba en Amazon de México, solo estaba el modelo versión 1, que también es bueno, pero yo quería el modelo versión 2. Cuando apareció por fin éste producto versión 2 aquí vi que tampoco era caro, incluso es más barato que en otros sitios, La batería es de mediana duración, tampoco la uso mucho, pero la batería es suficiente para mi, además, la puedes usar mientras se está cargando, yo la uso en mi PC, buscaba éste producto en concreto también por las medidas, ya que no dispongo de mucho espacio en mi escritorio y cabe perfectamente debajo de mi monitor, no suelo escuchar música a todo volumen, pero tiene un audio bastante potente, incluso la puedes usar en una fiesta. Tengo entendido que aún si se acaba la batería la puedes seguir usando conectándola a tu celular con un cable, como si fueran unos audífonos de cable. Muy buena calidad de construcción: Se me ha caído un par de veces y no se dañó ni las vocinas/sonido, ni la carcasa de afuera.

I bought this to replace the Creative 4.1 set connected to my computer in the den. I wanted the convenience of pairing my phone with it the times I want a little background music when doing non-computer stuff, and honestly, I really do not need surround sound there and would like to reclaim the space it occupies. When it arrived, I connected it to the computer in my bedroom to test it out. They blow my older Creative 2.0 speakers I have in this room out of the water. Clear, crisp sound and a powerful bass in such a relatively small package. I was listening to one particularly loud song but I could still make out the delicate "tink" of the high hat. Welp, I just ordered two more, once more for the den because this one is not leaving my bedroom, and another for my Chromebook in the living room. Creative, there is a reason why I continue buying your products going on three decades now!

I previously tried a (less expensive) Sanyun SW010 sound bar, and it was not very good. It was my first and I wasn't sure what to expect form a sound bar (after having used a good Plantronics headset for years), but it sounded only a little better than a computer speaker. I went back to the Plantronics headset, but my ears were still getting irritated, so I tried this sound bar. Wow, this is exactly what I needed. I listen to YouTube daily, and whether it's music or talking, the quality of this sound bar is incredibly good by my standards. I only use the USB connection, so I can't speak to using Bluetooth. Pros: (1) high quality sound (and bass); (2) USB connection; (3) instructions were clear. Cons: (1) at 16" it's larger than what I wanted; (2) ends are tapered instead of square; you can still stand it on its end, but sound doesn't work well that way, so it needs to rest horizontally. The only issue I had was that when I first pressed the power button on, it didn't power up and I thought something was wrong. I came to discover that I simply didn't press long enough. Seems like it really needed 3-4 seconds to power on rather than the 2 instructions indicated.

UPDATE: After about a year the battery was toast. Now I have to drop my review from 5 stars to 2. My faith in Creative has been greatly diminished. My advice is to spend a little more on a better brand. UPDATED UPDATE: The unit no longer powers on. I have dropped my 2 star review to 1. The only reason you get one star is that Amazon will not allow me to rate you at zero stars. Creative, if you are reading this. Please do better, I have been faithful to your brand since the Soundblaster 16 and I even bought the ZENvision, and this is way bigger let down. This soundbar is pure garbage, and Creative is a brand that can no longer be trusted.

La batería del producto dejó de funcionar al año, por lo tanto ya no podía reclamar la garantía, tienen que saber que la barra de sonido a pesar de poder ser usada conectada a una fuente de energía que la alimente, esta no está hecha para eso, porque la energía que recibe conectada no es la suficiente para poder hacerla funcionar y empieza a apagarse por sí sola con sonidos altos o con bajos haciéndola dependiente de una batería muerta que NO se puede reemplazar ni reparar.
