However, before we proceed, we've got to be up-front about something. As we said before, Creative targets these speakers at gamers. It works best in the same or an adjoining room, of course.ДЄ speaker system was a great feature set means little, if the audio it produces isn't good. That's not a knock on the Creative speakers, just a limitation of Bluetooth.

We could wander the whole house without totally losing connection, although once we were around 25 feet away and going through multiple walls we would hear a skip now and then.

Bluetooth worked great with both our Galaxy S20 Fan Edition and an iPhone 12 Pro.

However, it handled all of the various MP3 encoding options we threw at it, including 320 kbps static bitrate and max 320 kbps VBR. Unfortunately, the SBS E2900 only handles MP3 playback, so FLAC enthusiasts and Apple's AAC-encoded audio from purchased iTunes collections need not apply. There's also a Tone button to walk through the E2900's two-band tone control equalizer.Д«oth the SD and USB ports are used for media playback. For those not interested in LEDs, the lighting can be disabled. A bit bigger than a typical Roku remote, the unit mirrors the same controls, along with FM tuner controls, input selection, number buttons for direct input, and LED toggle for the sub's built-in lighting. For anything more advanced, including the built-in EQ, we had to use the included remote control. To control the speakers, Creative put some basic controls on the front of the sub that includes a jog wheel for volume and basic play, pause, and navigation buttons for media controls. While the FM tuner might seem like an odd inclusion, the combination of media and radio means that the SBS E2900 could be a standalone music system of sorts. However, Creative also outfitted the system with an FM antenna, Bluetooth 4.0 audio, an SD card slot, and a USB port.

To start with, there's the expected 1/8' aux input jack, which will connect to any sound card or built-in audio solution on just about every PC on the planet with the included 1/8' stereo cable. It should get pretty loud.Д¬onnectivity is where Creative Labs knocked it out of the park on the SBS E2900. That's divided up as 15 Watts RMS for each satellite and 30 Watts for the sub. Overall the system is rated for a peak power output of 120 Watts, or 60 Watts RMS sustained. The subwoofer's cone only measures 5.25', it fires forward and has a side port on the right. Meanwhile, the sub's 6.69 x 13.19 x 12.32 inch (170 x 335 x 313 mm) footprint would rival a small micro ATX tower in size.

We'll see if that matters in our listening tests.

There's no dedicated tweeter in each satellite, which will make it difficult to articulate every little nuance in high-quality music files. That four inches in girth makes plenty of room for a pair of full-range 3' drivers. Those satellites measure 4.13 x 3.94 x 6.7 inches (or 105 x 100 x 170 millimeters). Creative primarily aims these speakers at gamers, but there's a whole lot of additionally functionality tucked into this package.ДЄt first glance, the SBS E2900 might look like a compact speaker system with tiny satellites and a small sub, but in person it's much bigger. The SBS E2900 2.1 speaker set we'll look at today sits well above the entry-level Pebble speakers, but a bit below the Sound BlasterX Katana sound bar. Today, that tradition lives on with Creative marketing a wide variety of discrete speaker systems and sound bars, at a wide variety of price points. The Sound Blaster maker has almost always offered speaker systems to pump out the audio from our favorite PC and console games. While Creative Labs has expanded its product offerings into other arenas, the company has never waivered from its core competency: PC and home audio.
