Review on Enhanced Sound BlasterX Katana Multi-Channel Surround Gaming and Entertainment Soundbar - Hardware Processing, Dolby Digital 5.1 Decoding Support, Bluetooth-Enabled - Ideal for PC, Mac, PS4, and More Consoles by Kristiyana Setiyawat ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

As such, there are no disadvantages, it is convenient to use.

I ated the firmware via a computer, connected via optics with a German inakustik cable for 2 to the Xbox, tried to start the game, turned on music, movies, the sound is good, but you need to understand that this panel will not replace a full-fledged 5.1 or 7.1 system, from this point of view it is advisable to buy normal acoustics made of MDF or natural wood for 40 and listening to no longer virtual surround sound and it’s better to pass through the A / V receiver, too, somewhere for 40-50, then everything will play as it should. And this panel, for me, is more suitable for music and films than for toys, and a very good option for kids to play around with. On bluetooth, the sound is also good, but through one wall of 20 cm it starts to choke, I did not check it via HDMI, there is no possibility. Summing up, we can recommend it as acoustics for a monitor for media centers, there is an opportunity - take it if you are satisfied with all the advantages and disadvantages. Creative has a really worthwhile X-Fi soundbar, but it costs around 250, you can look at the English site.

Pros
  • A good replacement for 2.1 speakers, compactness, clear sound, you can listen without disturbing your neighbors with extra bass and volume for a small apartment, there is an android / ios program for setting up the system.
Cons
  • There are periodic crackles in the soundbar and there is no solution yet how to fix them; there is no possibility of connecting additional speakers to create surround sound (or it is, but this is not indicated in the instructions); the price for 20 is clearly too high, the sound itself does not pull more than 8.

With its pros. The sound is just great. Suitable not only for games, but also for music. At home, there are analogs from LG for almost the same price, but they cannot even be compared. Some cons: The headphone output is inconveniently located.
