The sound is big rather than subtle, but the Stage Pro is a very affordable audio upgrade for your TV or Mac
Creative’s long-running Sound Blaster range is mostly designed for gaming, but the company also has a Stage range of soundbars that focus more on watching films and TV. The latest addition is the Stage Pro, which costs a very competitive £129.99 but steps up from being a simple soundbar to providing a full 2.1 speaker system with a separate subwoofer that adds extra bass power for all those over-the-top Hollywood blockbusters.
