One of the things no geek can ever get enough of is entertainment, if you want a good quality entertainment package either from your tele / PC, you need a crucial component not worth sacrificing – sound system. We recently received one of Creative’s mid-price range speaker systems, the Inspire S2. Its a 2.1 setup and some of you may have seen its non-wireless equipped version, this system however has been packed with bluetooth connectivity, so here’s our quick review and overall impression of the system.
Design
The Creative Inspire S2 is a slick speaker system, the largest of its three components is the Direct Throw Subwoofer. While it is a wireless speaker system, one may have thought that even its speakers are completely wire-free (as official images seem to suggest), this is in fact not true. The below pictures may demonstrate this better.The two small speakers are connected to the subwoofer through separate cables, more importantly, the right speaker’s cable is fixed to the subwoofer, this cannot be removed or unplugged. This is not the case for the left speaker, but it too is plugged to the back of the subwoofer. This rather ‘fixed’ nature of the speaker makes the Inspire S2 not so convenient or mobile for moving or handling.
Putting the wires aside, the speaker system is overall well designed and relatively compact. Your external music source (if not bluetooth compatible) can be connected to the right speaker’s aux inlet, this is also where you would connect your headphones.
Around the back of the subwoofer, this is what you would find. It has a knob which allows you to adjust the amount of bass you’d like to get out of your music / movie / film / tele / gaming experience. The Inspire S2 looks and feels stylish and well made. It doesn’t feel like cheap plastic and gives you a sense that your money’s been well spent.
Features
Putting aside the not so cordless setup of the Inspire S2. The idea of having a bluetooth equipped wireless system is that you’d place the speakers in a fixed location where you’ll be able to leave it and forget about it and then have the freedom to move your laptop / mobile phone around the room and not have to worry about being attached to a set of speakers. We think the Inspire S2 does this fairly well.
