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? The SAKOBS soundbar is a 16-inch wired and wireless soundbar. What’s in …
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? The Polk Audio Commander Soundbar is a self-contained, wall mountable speaker system with an integrated amplifier, Bluetooth receiver, built-in …
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 …
Creative Stage 2.1 Channel Under-Monitor Soundbar with Subwoofer review Read More
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 …
REVIEW – Over the years, I have purchased and listened to many soundbars. I still have my Yamaha SoundBar that I purchased for almost $2k, and that was over 10 years ago. My living room Tv is without one, and sometimes the TV speakers do not reproduce the dialogue clearly so that the words separate from …
