A soundbar and subwoofer for $170? I couldn’t quite believe it either, but the Creative Stage Pro is surprisingly impressive

The creative stage pro soundbar and subwoofer, a super-budget home cinema system with 2.1 channels and a remote control photographed on a wooden tv stand with a TV behind.

Sourcing one of the best soundbars can be tricky if you’re on a low budget. Many soundbars will run you back at least $500, and some can go for as much as $2k. So when I come across soundbars for less than $200, I really, really want them to be good.

However, that’s not always the case. The Creative Stage Pro is a tough one, because it’s better than most super-cheap soundbars I’ve tested. It’s certainly one of the best cheap soundbars out there. However, if you’re expecting cinema-quality sound, you’re going to be sorely disappointed.
