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 review: Creative Inspire S2 Wireless

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.

Tiny Inspiration - Creative Inspire S2 2.1 Speakers

After the fine showings from Creative in the form of the impressive GigaWorks T3 and GigaWorks T40, we were expecting another hit, but Creative has dropped the ball with the Inspire S2.

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 Wireless review

The Inspire S2 Wireless speakers are one of the latest products in Creative's range of wireless audio hardware. The speakers connect to your computer using a Bluetooth connection. Surprisingly, though, they don't use the proprietary USB adapter...

Creative's wireless speakers sound reasonably good, but are pricy and only seem to work with the supplied adaptor.
