Following on from my review of the excellent Creative Sound Blaster Katana SE, I have been checking out the Stage SE. This is a compact and affordable soundbar designed to sit below your monitor and enhance the audio from your laptop or desktop PC. It is a basic soundbar that lacks many of the features…
Creative announced the Sound Blaster Katana SE in June, which sits between the Katana V2 and V2X in pricing. Unlike the other Katana soundbars, Creative have condensed all the speakers into the soundbar itself, omitting the need for a dedicated subwoofer and increasing the driver size and power to allow this soundbar to achieve impressive…
Creative has added to their family of Katana soundbars with the Katana SE. Unlike the existing Katana soundbars, this does not include a subwoofer. Instead, Creative has equipped this with much larger 109 mm (4.3”) mid-range drivers vs the 63 mm (2.5″) drivers on the other models. This should allow the soundbar to achieve excellent…
When it comes to watching movies or just regular TV programmes, there’s a surprising amount of people who underestimate the importance of good audio. TVs nowadays are designed to be as thin as possible, and this, therefore, limits how good the audio can be. Some of the more premium Sony TVs use a fancy technology…
Yesterday, Creative announced the Stage SE soundbar, which is designed to be small enough to fit under a monitor. It is on the affordable end of the spectrum, priced at just £70. Only the Creative Stage Air V2 is cheaper. Looking at the specification and price, it seems like a bit of an odd fit….
I reviewed the Audio Pro C5 MKII back in December. It is a superb multiroom speaker that I think makes an excellent alternative to Sonos products if you want something a bit more aesthetic than a black box. During the review, I became aware of the impressive range of speakers available from the brand. I…
The Sennheiser AMBEO Soundbar Plus was announced at IFA 2022 and is the more affordable follow-up to the AMBEO Soundbar, which launched in 2019. It is a smaller and more affordable soundbar that claims to be the world’s first 7.1.4 standalone soundbar. However, unlike when the Sennheiser AMBEO launched, nowadays, there are multiple premium-priced soundbars….
If you have bought the Xbox Series X or PS5, or have a powerful gaming PC in your lounge, you will almost certainly want to play with the best possible settings. On the TV you will want 4K content with a 120Hz refresh rate giving you the best quality image and smooth gaming. Then you…
The Anker Soundcore Infini Mini is a small soundbar that costs just £75.99 on Amazon. Unlike recent soundbars I have reviewed this is more suited to a small TV or PC. At just 6cm tall and 53cm wide, this is quite small as far as soundbars go, and that’s why I think it is more suited…
Bose has been busy releasing a range of new products in the past few weeks. They have introduced a new smart home speaker with Alexa built in, as well as two new Alexa, enabled soundbars with accompanying sub-woofers. The other release is the new Bose Lifestyle 550 home entertainment system which fills the gap between…
BlitzWolf is one of the many low-cost accessory brands prominent on Amazon though they don’t have a considerable presence in the UK with most of the products being selfie sticks, earphones and powerbanks. If you are US based, they do have a broader range of products which includes soundbars, and wireless speakers. They were kind…
I reviewed the fantastic Bose Soundtouch 300 Soundbar a year ago, while it is an expensive investment it is one of the best soundbars on the market. It also has one significant selling point over many competing brands; you can expand the system with both surround sound speakers and a subwoofer. Soundbars are a great…
