"it’s a definite winner if you’re struggling for space – it truly is compact, and provides much more volume and sound quality than its size hints at. And with the small subwoofer on the V2X, it’s now even easier to find space for this impressive duo."
4/5
"the Creative Sound Blaster Katana V2X lives up to its namesake by swiftly and sharply enhancing your gaming and general audio needs with a sleek look to boot."
8.8/10
"I now understand why the original Katana soundbar was so popular. The new improved Katana V2X is now even more versatile, and enables audio from games, movies/TV shows to feel more immersive and enjoyable. The added bass from the dedicated subwoofer will surely bring out more of any scene compared to using regular 2.0 sound systems. "
4.8/5
very good, the quality on computer is better.
The best music product I have ever purchased.
Switching from a pair of built in speakers on my Acer UHD Predator gaming monitor to this was a very big jump in audio quality. I’m impressed and very satisfied with the performance of the V2X! Though, one regret I have is not getting the SXFI carrier for Dolby Atmos as I can’t imagine what an awesome experience yay would be. But I’m more than happy with my purchase which has given new life to my gaming set up when I’m not using headphones. Great sound and drop bass with 5.1 virtual surround does a great job in providing an immersive experience, well done Creative!!
