Creative Stage Air Review

Shaped like a mini soundbar, the $49.99 Creative Stage Air differs from most of the wireless speakers we review. It's not rugged, waterproof, or even very small, and while it's portable, it's mean to sit below your computer monitor. Not only does it stream via Bluetooth, but it has a standard 3.5mm aux port, and even an outdated-but-harmless USB input that will play MP3s from a thumb drive. Anyone expecting mega-bass or even super-loud volume might be disappointed, but the Stage Air delivers a solid audio experience for the price. Design Measuring 2.8 by 16.0 by 3.0 inches (HWD), the Stage Air has a glossy plastic exterior, with a front-facing perforated grille covering dual full-range drivers and a passive bass radiator.

The Creative Stage Air is a solid portable Bluetooth speaker that looks like a soundbar and fits perfectly in front of your computer monitor.

Rich low-mids and bright highs at moderate volumes; Fits well under computer monitors; Affordable

Distorts at high volume levels on deep bass; Not an outdoor-friendly design

Great sound and excellent connectivity.

Works great with plenty of volume, quick charge and battery life is great. Works as a soundbar and portable speaker for music.

Awesome solution for limited space

Purchased about 3 months ago , I use a headset for gaming and only use this speaker for watching content on my pc and listening to music, as I dont listen to that POP rubbish or fake R&B and I do not like over done bass, this speaker is perfect for my environment, I have the usb cord plugged permanently and my motherboard auto connects, this thing is awesome bang for buck

EXCELLENT SOUND BAR

Absolutely the best compact sound bar ever ! I love it. Fits neatly below the 32" monitor. Tremendous sound quality. Forgot to charge it and it lasted 2.5 days on the factory charge ! I now have super perfect sounds to compliment my desk top.

Not worth it even for a budget option

received the speaker after ordering it online and after minimal use over two days it has stopped working completely, main issue is that it no longer turns on. It charges. the device registers if you plug it into a PC. But its the whole not turning on is the real annoyance that I current am experiencing.

Great sound

I bought this speaker a month or so ago and I am so happy with it. For the most part it stays on my desk as my desk speaker. But I have used it as a portable speaker a few times and I am completely satisfied with the sound quality and battery life.
