Creative launches its newest under-monitor soundbar, The Creative Stage SE

Creative Technology today announced the release of Creative Stage SE, the latest under-monitor soundbar that is designed to amp up the user’s desktop audio experience. Despite its compact size, the Creative Stage SE packs a powerful audio punch with custom-tuned racetrack drivers and Sound Blaster technology to deliver a clearer and more immersive audio experience. This soundbar is also simple to set up and powers up easily via a power adapter; it also offers both USB digital audio and Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity. Together with convenient controls and tone adjustments, the Creative Stage SE sets the stage for an elevated movie, music, and gaming experience for PC users.

Creative Stage SE offers clearer, louder, and punchier audio in a smaller form factor.

Fitted with powerful full-range racetrack drivers and oversized radiators, the Creative Stage SE is able to deliver clearer and punchier audio, even without a subwoofer. With a total peak power of 48W, this soundbar surpasses the audio performance of any default PC built-in speakers to offer a better listening experience for users. The Creative Stage SE also features Sound Blaster audio technologies such as Clear Dialog and Surround Sound, which offer users clearer dialogue even amidst jam-packed scenes and a cinema-like audio experience with a widened sound stage.

On top of that, the Creative Stage SE also allows users to switch between warmer and brighter audio reproduction with the latest tone adjustment feature. Now users can tune and adjust tone neutrality to their liking with a simple press of a button.

Lastly, for a seamless listening experience, the Creative Stage SE features a simple plug-and-play setup that supports both USB digital audio and Bluetooth connectivity. Furthermore, the soundbar includes an integrated volume control knob conveniently located on the side for users to make quick sound adjustments on the fly, as well as a remote control to toggle a variety of features such as tone adjustments, surround sound, and clear dialogue mode selections.

Creative Stage SE is priced at UK£69.99 and is available at Creative.com. For more information, visit www.creative.com/stagese

Tech Review – Tronsmart Bang SE portable party speaker

Tronmsart have released a new Party Speaker and we had early access to it so we could check it out and give you our thoughts, Tronsmart are well know for delivering great speakers at affordable prices and this one is no different and if you have not seen the Tronsmart Bang review check it out HERE.

Again we have got RGB on board with beat driven breathing and circling RGB lights on the device and not only on the sides this time as there is  behind the mesh grill on the front of the speaker to make it stand out and it looks well in action as you will see in the video review below.

The speaker is IPX6 waterproof and can be used indoors and outdoors making this super portable and can enhance that beach or pool party no matter where you go. We have again soundpulse technology but no app access and 40w speakers and from my testing this packs a real punch is loud and will easily fill a large room or garden.

When it comes to the audio experience it is exactly what you need for that indoor or outdoor party with great bass and volume highs lows and mids are fine and no tinny or distortion at maxed out volume, the speaker also takes a Micro SD card which is handy for those who have the tunes on a chip which many still do today.

The build quality is also excellent here and is very robust with easy to use control on top of the speaker with your I/O ports on the rear and the speaker itself is not heavy by any means.

Overall an affordable speaking keeping inline with its current portfolio giving decent sound with additional light effects.

Check the video below for a full demo and audio experience.

Apple Watch SE 2022 (44mm Starlight) first look, unboxing and set-up

Yes I went and did it, got another Apple Watch and this time the SE starlight 44mm. I am looking at the Ultra down the road however have seen none in stores yet and want to see just how big it looks on the wrist rather than stock image reviews or photos. As for the SE I think will be popular and good value for money and for those who have yet to jump into the smartwatch game no matter what OS your prefer the entry level offerings are probably best to begin with. Given Apple is more expensive than others this is a decent smartwatch at a decent entry price however probably too high for many which I agree with, I have come down from the Apple Watch 7 series to try it out and so far so good for my needs.

Not going to bore you with the specs but today I just take a first look and unboxing of the new Apple Watch SE and the set-up process which is quite simple as with anything Apple is and if you need to know some more feel free to drop your thoughts in the comments on our YouTube channel and stay tuned for more on the Apple iPhone 14 pro and the watch as we have accessories to check out in the coming weeks.

Check out the iPhone 13 pro vs 14 pro unboxing here
