Creative Technology makes some great value soundbars and earbuds that consistently perform well. The brand is a byword for value for money and it’s good to see it coming up with a new product that fills a niche in the market.
Today sees the launch of the Creative Stage Air V2, the latest under-monitor soundbar designed to give users a big sound from a small form factor that won’t gobble up valuable desktop real estate. It has a minimalist design and a versatile array of connectivity options.

The new Stage Air V2 has a brand-new look but holds on to the slim and compact profile of the original Stage Air. As a result, it produces fuller-sounding audio with a better bass level, even though no subwoofer is included.
