Powered by Sound Blaster
The Creative Stage V2 debuts with Clear Dialog and Surround, audio processing technologies developed with Sound Blaster’s 30 years of audio expertise, to bring you improved vocal intelligibility and wide surround experience.
Clear Dialog—extracts the vocals and spoken dialogue, and intelligently amplifies them, allowing you to hear each syllable in movie dialogues clearly
Surround—identifies and enhances the spatial information of incoming audio, providing you with a more realistic and immersive listening experience

Creative Stage V2 comes with all the connectivity options you can think of, so you can turn it into a one-stop audio entertainment system for all your devices—including TVs, computers, mobile phones, tablets, or even gaming consoles like PS4 and Nintendo Switch.
Added Convenience with Remote Control
The included IR remote control is able to make more than just audio and volume adjustments! It also allows you to switch input source, adjust treble and bass settings, and toggle Clear Dialog and Surround on or off.
Blends into Any Room
With a subtle and minimalistic design, the Creative Stage V2 is able to blend seamlessly into any room regardless of their interior design. For the space-conscious, the soundbar is also wall-mountable so you can hang it on the wall too.

I am not an audiphile so can’t compare to a medium budget far less an expensive system. Also connecting to an old Panasonic plasma TV and Humax box by analog and optic .
Very pleased with the result.
Well made the sound quality is a vast improvement on the TV speakers.
Overall I think this is well worthy of five stars at this price.
Set up was very easy as was Bluetooth pairing with mobile phone. Again with good sound reproduction.
The speakers in the small TV in the bedroom are very poor due to their size. I wanted a compact soundbar to improve matters and this seemed to fit the bill. My expectations were not very high due to the price of the Stage V2 but I am amazed by the volume, clarity and even the look of the product. It was even a doddle to instal. Time will tell if it lasts but at the moment it is an excellent buy.
