If recent launches are anything to go by, affordable soundbars could be a major trend for 2021. While more expensive soundbars from brands such as Sony and JBL cater to an audience that would typically spend Rs. 1,00,000 or more on a television, there isn't as much on offer for buyers of more affordable televisions, such as the Mi TV and AmazonBasics ranges that are available at under Rs. 40,000. Realme made its first entry into this largely untapped segment with the 100W Soundbar closely followed by the product we're reviewing today - the Creative Stage V2 Soundbar.
The Creative Stage V2 Soundbar is priced at Rs. 9,999, and is among the most interesting affordable soundbars you can buy today. With a dedicated subwoofer and a rated output of 160W, this soundbar promises a significant boost to audio, and pairs well with affordable televisions. Although not as loud in practical use as it seems, the Creative Stage V2 sounds good with movies and TV shows.
Going up against the Realme 100W Soundbar, the Creative Stage V2 promises and delivers with better audio quality, and has decent connectivity options as well. However, small issues such as the lack of Dolby certification and issues with the remote do hold it back a bit.
