    • Phenomenal sound for this price range
Color: 180W Peak Power with Compact Subwoofer
Replacing an old pair of speakers from 1996, and these things do not disappoint one bit. I am hearing all sorts of sounds crystal clear, from music, to live streaming, movies, and games - they all sound great with very minimal tweaks to EQ. Sure there's better sounding speakers for x8 the price, but for this price range, they are absolutely great. I had some worries reading over the reviews, but every speaker system had similar complaints, which I assume are from cheap audiophiles expecting it to sound on par with expensive systems or old people/technically challenged people who have problems figuring out electronics. I have had no issues with any of the software, runs fine on windows 11, and the remote works wonderfully. One small qualm I have would be that the remote worked great with chrome playing Netflix, but doesn't play/pause consistently, doesn't work well with prime on chrome, and doesn't work consistently with stremio. The volume/power works perfectly. This doesn't make me think any less of the system as I didn't even think the remote would be able to play and pause stuff on a computer like that, so it's actually pretty surprising out of the box it just did. I will purchase something that allows navigation and clicking like a wireless mouse/controller if I really need this feature, but for what I use the system for volume control is enough for me! The other small issue I have is the display can't be changed to a clock on the unit. This would have been perfect as the display just shows what input you're on, but maybe in a future firmware update that could be added, idk. Would recommend this system to anyone who regularly watches movies/videos on computer, plays games, and listens to music. Great features, and solid sound. ... show more

    • Pricey option for USB sound / better than sound cards while maintaining high quality gaming audio
Color: 180W Peak Power with Compact Subwoofer
I'm old school and have been a die hard Sound Blaster sound card user. Been that way since the first Sound Blaster. It was ALWAYS the way to go for high quality / high fidelity gaming sound as well as any computer audio. Onboard audio was never an option. And I was from the time when gaming speakers went surround sound and up to 5.1 speaker setups. Had the Logitech Z-640 for a decade. This required a sound card that supported this. So why not keep going? WELL... things have changed. Gaming speakers have died down back to 2.1. Most people use headsets with virtualized 7.1 sound. No one wants and not many manufacturers are offering multiple surround sound speaker setups anymore. To be honest my speaker setup was super cumbersome and space consuming. I never got a great experience from surround sound gaming. Maybe it was the games I played or my setup. The other thing is that over the past decade while I kept the same speakers and computer system, I had to upgrade my sound card multiple times!!! Why? Hardware-wise they all worked PERFECTLY!! All are in great condition. So WHY? Simple.. DRIVER support. I had my sound cards for so long that Creative EOL'd driver support especially when Win10 came out and again for Win11. As to why? Probably cost. But it was insane to have to buy a NEW sound card just so I am able to use it with a modern OS just because it had supported drivers. I was limping along using old version of Sound Blaster drivers that I had to search the internet for and keep a copy of on hand for my old SB Recon3D Fatal1ty (the 3rd card I had to buy). Every so often a Windows Update would happen and my sound would go out. Then I would reinstall this old driver just to get it back. It was a great card that I would still use if I could but it's getting tough. I almost considered getting the next Sound Blaster card that's out now - AE5 or AE7. Old habits are hard to kill. But I'm tired of this ride spending $$$ for drivers. It's a pain and sometimes painfully annoying. It's expensive in the long run. It's a waste of time. Both my parent's and in-laws computers went to simple USB audio because of drivers. It was not worth getting sound cards when in a few years, all of a sudden, their sound won't work. BTW, the story isn't different or better for onboard audio either. It's actually worse. To really avoid this nonsense... going to USB based audio is the best way as it doesn't require drivers for sound to work. There are two main options: DAC/AMP OR USB speaker/DAC/AMP all in one. The DAC/AMP route is primarily for headset or standard stereo speakers. Typically they don't have any surround sound or effects for gaming. Most people use studio monitors, etc. Don't get me wrong there "are" some DAC/AMP that have special audio for gaming but they are specialized and expensive. None of these would work with my current Logitech's without adapters. I wanted something simple but good. I'm not an audiophile or anything. I knew about the original SB Katana years ago and wanted to get one but it was pricey. Then recently it came up for consideration but now there's a V2 which is better (and more expensive). As of this writing, the SB Katana V2 was only available from Creative. All that was readily available was the V2X. Reviews were positive for the V2X and the main difference being lower RMS/Peak power and a smaller sub. All this meant to me is that it's not as loud as the V2. Alot of people almost say the V2 was "too" loud. They never went above level 10-15 volume (the high is 50). I have a small office setup. This isn't for a home theater or anything and decided to go with the V2X for $50 cheaper. It wasn't worth paying extra for something I won't likely take advantage of. My goal was to get something better than what I have. The Logitech weren't great speakers only 90W RMS. The audio was mostly muddy and bass heavy. Sometimes the dialogue in games or movies was hard to hear. The Katana V2x gave me an all-in-one solution, which included DAC/AMP for headsets if I wanted to go that route. I like the fact I have options for both audio modes. I have also added options to connect like Bluetooth, HDMI, optical, and AUX. I also like how I'm saving quite a bit of desk and office space with just the sound bar and sub. It's pretty amazing of what this smaller setup can generate. The RGB is nice but don't care too much for it. It's subtle. There is added Creative software to provide extra stuff like EQ and sound profiles. The best thing is that it all connects via USB. No drivers are required at all. Other cool thing is that because it's USB, I can plug it into a KVM and use one audio setup for multiple computers!! With the old sound card and speaker setup... it can only be dedicated to one computer. Overall, it became an excellent audio solution for me the more I use and adapt to my setup. I do feel this is a niche product for people with specific constraints on space or setups. It is pricey given you can get a nice DAC/AMP for much less and get excellent sound, as good or better. While I was trying to figure out a way to re-use my perfectly working 5.1 speakers, I had to give them up because the sound card (or onboard audio) was the only way I could use the speakers. :( But I'm sure in the long run, this will be worth it. So I guess in the end Creative still keeps my business but sadly, I'm giving up on sound cards for good. It's the end of an era. Sound cards are a dying breed, it seems. There used to be a few other vendors that competed like ASUS. Sound Blaster started it all and it looks like they will end with it all. ... show more
