REVIEW – Our house has two living rooms, and we recently redid our “back” living room. Since that’s where the wood stove is, and a big new couch, we’ve been spending more time there. Our front living room has a TV with soundbar, but the back living room just has a TV with built-in TV […]
REVIEW – Ultimea was kind enough to send along their new Solo B30 Soundbar to test along with the Poseidon E40 projector. I was going to write a separate review, but they work nicely together, so this is kind of a mini-review add-on. It’s two-fer Tuesday! What is it? The Ultimea Solo B30 Soundbar is

REVIEW – If you are short on desk space, an under-monitor soundbar may be your ticket to audio nirvana – without sacrificing space. Creative has made a budget friendly, compact, under monitor soundbar in the Sound Blaster GS3. We’ve plugged it in and given it a go to see how this sub-$50 option sounds. What

REVIEW – When I was in college I got into PC gaming and had a friend help me weld custom speaker stands for a surround sound setup to enhance my gaming. Fast forward a few years (decades), and I’ve long since ditched 6+ speaker setups for my hybrid work/gaming desk setup for a couple reasons:
REVIEW – I have been searching for a new soundbar with Dolby Atmos for my bedroom/man cave. I already have one in my living room that I love, but it was pretty expensive. I’m looking for a more budget-friendly option. Luckily, I was offered to review the Ultimea 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos soundbar, which costs less

REVIEW – As I continue to remodel and upgrade my home office/Studio to be a warm interesting and creative space, I have been introducing things like Steampunk shelves for an added industrial look, and I have been looking for unusual items to give me the feel I want. When this KEMIMOTO Midnight 40B 16” 2-Speaker

REVIEW – I don’t know what happened along the way in television design but it feels like all the manufacturers forgot that sound is important when you’re watching a show. I have one television in particular that no matter how high I increase the volume, speech is still very mumbly. I have solved that problem

REVIEW – As it turns out, this is the sound system we didn’t know we needed. My son and co-reviewer Mason picked this out after having a good experience with Creative speakers for a previous review. Our main TV already has a nice soundbar, and I have a portable speaker to use around the house,

REVIEW – Are you looking for powerful sound combined with snazzy looks, from a company with decades of multimedia experience? I’ve been running some relatively boring black computer speakers on my work/gaming desk in my office for years now. I previously had a Creative 5.1 surround system on my gaming/workstation but the wires and logistics
Creative Sound Blaster Katana V2 Gaming soundbar review – punches well above its size Read More
REVIEW – I can remember the days when I spent a whole lot of money on a 5.1 surround sound system. It was made up of 2 relatively large left and right front speakers, a center channel speaker, 2 rear speakers, and a subwoofer. The connections also meant that there would be a whole bunch

REVIEW – Like many of you, I’ve been suffering with the scourge of using the built-in speakers on a television in my house. Nearly all televisions have garbage speakers that are either tinny or too quiet or both. Many built-in TV speakers are also downward- or backward- firing so that the sound that’s getting to

REVIEW – A few weeks ago, I reviewed the Asakuki Avigator 455W video projector. Since its speaker was a bit lackluster, I wanted to see how the OXS S3 soundbar can fill the void. Let’s find out. What is it? The OXS model S3 soundbar is a self-contained audio amplifier and speaker system with optical,

REVIEW – Confession time. I generally like stock speakers. I know, I know. The treble usually sounds like a tinfoil thunderstorm and the bass doesn’t go low enough, or the crackle when one side of whatever speaker-equipped entertainment device you’re working with inevitably dies. (RIP driver-side rear speaker in my ’93 Thunderbird.) But I never thought

REVIEW – My large living room and TV with weak speakers makes for a poor entertainment experience. I’ve been thinking about getting a soundbar, so when the SAKOBS soundbar review offer came along, I thought I would try it first. What is it?

REVIEW – It is amazing to me what you can get nowadays for a TV. Prices have fallen, while feature sets are getting better and better. But I have noticed that while prices of TVs seem to keep falling, the manufacturers are having to drop features to be able to keep those prices low. For
SAKOBS Wireless Bluetooth & Wired 80W Soundbar review Read More
REVIEW – Let’s get this out of the way right now. No soundbar—no matter how expensive or how great it sounds—will sound as good as two or more speakers paired with a subwoofer for watching movies on a large flat-screen TV. But before you write off the idea of a soundbar, there’s good news.

REVIEW – I’ve owned or reviewed several soundbars, hoping to more closely approximate my beloved cinema experience. Looking to upgrade, Polk Audio’s Commander Soundbar has entered my living room to tantalize my eardrums. What is it?

REVIEW – Over the past year or so, I have tested and reviewed a few soundbars, and so far I have been very satisfied with each one. Most of them have been reasonably priced and have included features that make them quite versatile. I now have the opportunity to test and review the Creative Stage

REVIEW – Watching movies and listening to music are two things that I do frequently and as much as a few times weekly when I have some time to relax and unwind. Even when just watching television, I like to have the experience include nice clear and defined audio. These days, there is a multitude of
