Revainrating 5 out of 5

A very high-quality product, I take it not for the first time.

Great gaming acoustics! The soundbar is the best form for acoustics (my personal opinion), because. it is convenient to place it UNDER the monitor, which saves space on the desktop. The soundbar stands on legs, so there is a small gap between it and the table, in which, if necessary, you can stretch the wires (relevant for me). Stylish appearance complements the play space. The declared "virtual 7.1" sound is enough for me (some games detect and adjust it). The effect of presence, of course, is not absolute, but quite noticeable (both in fashion and in shooters, the game mode shows itself equally well). You can set up 5 independent modes (neutral, for games, movies, music, night) - advanced settings for sound and visual effects are available for each. The software is simple and clear, with an equalizer. In addition, there is already a library of pre-configured modes that you can apply - convenient for those who are not very versed in this.

Pros
  • - Sound quality (virtual sound quality is enough for me both in mobs and shooters) - Remote included - Appearance (stylish, fashionable, youthful and even glowing!) - The presence of several modes - Setup software (with preset modes for movies/games/music)
Cons
  • - Cost (still expensive) - Location of the headphone jack (others you are unlikely to use often)
