According to our PC speaker expert
Experience sound in Dolby Surround 5.1 with the Creative Sound BlasterX KATANA soundbar. This is thanks to the design with triple enhancement, with 5 drivers powered individually by DSP-controlled amplifiers. Two drivers are aimed at the mid-range tones, 2 tweeters for the highest sounds in the soundbar, and 1 elongated driver in the subwoofer. With its 60-millimeter slim design, it fits exactly under a monitor and you can place the subwoofer next to the monitor. In addition, the Sound BlasterX has a lighting system that consists of a series of 49 programmable LEDs across the entire side of the speaker. This way, you can also find the speaker's various connection options in the dark. You can connect a headset to the speaker so you can keep gaming until the early hours without keeping your neighbors awake.

This is my first and probably last soundbar. I absolutely love this thing.
Very easy to connect and set up. Sound is fantastic, I use it for music and gaming and it works equally well for both.
I myself only had problems getting SB Connect 2 to work, while SB Connect 1 does work, but this is due to to my PC. Also a minor irritation is that the Bluetooth button is combined with the on/off button, which often results in accidentally turning it off while you only want to turn Bluetooth on or off.
For the rest absolutely no negatives, top thing!

Clean soundbar with a generally nice sound spectrum. Easy to install, doesn't take up much space and looks nice on your desk.
The only downside I could give is that the mid-tones don't always come through nicely. But that could be due to the speakers that might need to be played in a bit... Or that I should play with the EQ a bit. The low and high tones do sound well and the sound level blows you to the other side of the room.
The connection options are also worth writing home about: This way you have the option to wirelessly connect your phone or whatever with Bluetooth 4.2. You have an optical port. Connect a mini USB port specifically for your computer. A regular USB port to connect an external hard drive. An AUX input. A mic in and a headset input.
In short: you get a nice soundbar with a generally good sound and a lot of options for a decent price.

It does exactly what I want good sound for movies and games. When I listen to some music there has to be good and clear sound in it and loud and that's what the katana does. Great piece of technology as I am used to from creative, top thing.
