Creative Stage SE

I’ve been searching for a small and inexpensive speaker setup for a while, and the options seem to be dreadful £20 setups, or spending over £100 for often bulky setups. For me, this soundbar hits a nice spot in the middle. It fits easily under my monitor, and setup is very easy, either plug in usb, or pair to Bluetooth. Volume is decent, and more importantly the quality is good. I can more than happily listen to a range of music that is all handled well. YouTube videos are also good, with clear dialogue cutting through. All as good as you can expect for £50. There are a lot of different tone and sound options which make a slight difference if you listen closely, but really you can just leave it alone. The volume knob is excellent, and I’m surprised I’ve not seen this style before given how well it works. The supplied remote feels cheap (and didn’t come with batteries), but again, for the price, is acceptable and a nice bonus. Overall would heartily recommend at this size / price point.

Brilliant, didnt want traditional 5.1 or7.1 speakers for laptop/pc desk as too bulky and takes up space, brilliant product sits nicely has great bass and treble. Question the need for a remote but nice to have I guess especially as there are no buttons on the unit for anything but power/pair and volume control. Bought some aftermarket risers (laptop risers) to fix to the underside to provide angle to direct to me rather than the back of my keyboard cheap fix.

Having read many reviews for budget soundbarsfor my desktop PC I shortlisted three from Creative. This one, Stage SE, the Stage SE Mini and the Sound Blaster GS3. Both the SE and GS3 were on discount and so near the price of the Mini I decided to ignore that one. After checking customer reviews and comparing specifications the Stage SE is the better speaker but was on sale for less then the GS3 - that made my mind up. And I have no regrets, I would say it's exceeded my expectations as I didn't think such a small speaker would have a decent depth of sound, not tinny at all. It's connected to my PC via the supplied USB cable and I've also used Bluetooth with my phone. Both work fine and easily. It did default to Bluetooth on switching on but you just press the Input button on the remote once and it changes immediately. The remote is great to have and I'm pleasantly surprised the pause and skip track buttons work with Spotify both on the PC and the phone. And in Netflix. Again I wasn't expecting this feature. The sound is great for the price, clearly no booming base but a great range and full sound. So a tick for gaming, watching movies and listening to music although to be honest, and certainly at night, I always use headphones for the absolute best sound. For the £39 I paid, and absolute bargain.

Pro's: The piano black finish is nice. Nice big dial on the side for easy access to adjust the volume. Okay-ish sound. Just right height and width to not overtake my desk. Con's: Who wants to adjust tone?! Would it bankrupt you to have a separate bass and treble dial? The piano black finish is nice to look at, awful finger print and dust magnet. USB lead is too short, barely reaches my PC which is on the floor next to the table. Power supply cable is too short. See 'USB lead is too short' for further details. But overall, of you don't mind tone adjustment instead of bass/treble and short leads, it might be for you.

Excellent alternative to built in monitor speakers. Bass is good - overall sounds a little flat at first, but you soon adjust. Great volume and vocal clarity.

I treated myself to a new desktop, the soundbar I had wouldn't connect (yesterday) so I went onboard and bought this one, easily set up and connected to the desktop via bluetooth straight away, went to youtube and put on a bit of AC/DC, I am impressed, what a noise and thump from this little thing. Need a sound bar? You wont go wrong with one of these, very compact and there's waves in my mug of tea!

Im so impressed with it!!! I just wanted something for my Kitchen Mac to play YouTube etc through it... and for less than £50 quied Im blown away... its sounds great... punchy... dont get me wrong.. its not going in my little Studio room... but for sat underneath your monitor on your kitchen table its amazing for so little money.... I have speakers costing £100's and £1000's in my house and for what it needs to do for me its perfect... I highley recommend... Just dont expect too much level.. at its highest volume its awfull and all falls a part but a couple of pegs down... sounds great.

Awful sound quality. Sounds like someone playing a song through a tin can full of marbles. Absolutely baffled by the number of 5* reviews here. Returned and bought something else.

Ich bin wirklich begeistert von dieser Soundbar und gebe ganz klar 5 Sterne! Für ihre kompakte Größe liefert sie einen erstaunlich kräftigen und klaren Sound, der sowohl bei Musik als auch beim Gaming und Filme schauen überzeugt. Die Höhen sind sauber, die Mitten angenehm und selbst der Bass ist für so ein schlankes Gerät absolut solide. Besonders gefällt mir das schlichte, moderne Design – passt perfekt auf den Schreibtisch unter den Monitor. Die Einrichtung war super einfach und innerhalb weniger Minuten erledigt. Auch die Verarbeitung wirkt hochwertig und stabil. Für den Preis bekommt man hier wirklich eine top Leistung. Absolute Kaufempfehlung!

magnifica barra de sonido. Se escucha perfectamente tanto voz, como música. Buena relación calidad-precio

Cette superbe colonne de son pour ordinateur est vraiment surprenante.Pour un prix très correct on obtient une qualité sonore excellente. Malgré son petit volume on est surpris des aigus et aussi de la présence de graves que l'on obtient. Je suis très satisfait de cet achat. Le seul petit inconvénient réside en l'absence de traduction française. Pour ce qui est de son branchement je conseillerai d'utiliser le bluetooth ,la qualité est vraiment très bonne, d'autant que son branchement est des plus facile.

Tiene muy buena calidad de audio, se escucha claro y fuerte; es una gran solucion de audio si no tienes espacio para un setup mas propio. La conectividad es por USB y requiere de alimentacion externa para funcionar. Se puede conectar por bluetooth e incluye algunos presets de sonido.

Ho recentemente acquistato la soundbar Creative Stage SE e sono rimasto piacevolmente sorpreso dalla qualità del suono che riesce a offrire. Suono avvolgente e dialoghi cristallini Una delle prime cose che ho notato è la capacità della Stage SE di creare un palcoscenico sonoro ampio e coinvolgente, nonostante le dimensioni compatte.

Perfetta per piccoli ambienti Se come me avete una scrivania o un televisore di dimensioni contenute, la Creative Stage SE è la soluzione ideale. Offre un suono di qualità superiore rispetto agli altoparlanti integrati nei dispositivi, senza occupare troppo spazio.
