Creative Inspire S2 review

 

In terms of specs, the Creative Inspire S2 does not bring anything new. The satellites have 2in drivers hidden behind the grille while the compact subwoofer is powered by a 5in driver which again is protected by a grille.

The Creative Inspire S2 is a smooth sounding set of compact 2.1 speakers, but it's a little bit pricey for 2.1.

Creative Inspire S2 Wireless Speakers Review

 

I've long been curious as to the performance of wireless speakers when compared to the wired equivalents, so when I had the opportunity to test out the new Creative Inspire S2 Wireless Speakers I was intrigued to really compare the quality. With a...

Although good quality for the most part providing bass and good sound depth, I can’t quite determine the point of spending between 2 and 10 times the price of wired speakers on the wireless alternative. It's not exactly any less convenient, at a short...

Review: Creative Inspire S2 wireless 2.1 speaker system

 

Elegant, simple and compact design, Lightweight, More bass than you would expect from its size, Clear crisp quality sound, Bluetooth connectivity, Supports auxillary

Satelite speakers are not wireless, Right speaker not detachable, Having bluetooth makes the Inspire S2 rather pricey compared to similar 2.1 speaker systems of its size, Lack of remote control

While there is one very obvious downfall to the Inspire S2, we think the quality and performance you get in return are well worth your money. If however, you don’t think you’ll greatly benefit from the bluetooth wireless connectivity , we do recommend...

Creative Inspire S2 Wireless

 

Sound snobs should steer clear, but Creative's wireless Inspire S2 2.1-channel PC speaker set manages to overcome many Bluetooth audio shortcomings.

Quality audio performance. Simple wireless set up. Small desktop footprint and modestly sized subwoofer.

Bluetooth is not the best option for wireless sound quality. Not completely wireless; satellites connect to the subwoofer with wires. No remote control.

Creative Inspire S2 Wireless

Integrated Bluetooth for wireless audio streaming; tiny satellite speakers sound bigger than they look; subwoofer is compact but delivers decent amount of bass; good connectivity options; Bluetooth dongle included for laptop and desktop PCs and Macs.

Some distortion at higher volumes; Bluetooth connection isn't very reliable; setup isn't totally wireless.

Creative's diminutive Bluetooth PC speaker system delivers impressive sound for such a compact package.

Creative Inspire S2 Wireless 2.1 Speakers - Bass-less Price

 

Creative's wireless speakers have some nifty features, but lack a certain something.

The S2 wireless speakers have been priced at Rs. 9,499 which is quite expensive for the performance it gives. True that these speakers being wireless add to the price, but then the performance is a very important factor to be considered. These speakers...

Creative Inspire S2

 

The compact set of Inspire S2 from Creative impressed with its palm-sized satellite speakers and a smooth sound output.

Sparkling highs ; Smooth mid bass ; Cute and compact design ; Good build quality

Weak mids ; Low-ends missing ; A bit expensive

Smooth sounding set of compact 2.1 speaker but a bit pricey.
