I think if this was a bit cheaper, I would be all-in. Alternatively, you can get a nice DAC + Speaker AMP + Bookshelf speakers + a powered Subwoofer for close to the same price. With it, you gain flexibility in that you can upgrade, replace, and swap each of those components. But there is a great argument for having it all-in-one here, in that it is much less of a hassle.
can you recommend a combo? because apparently there has been a chip shortage and afaik there isn't any amps, at least not brand new that can be had for cheap
@@dioxyde0 solid start would be like an Aiyima A07 and T8 6N3 combo for your amp and dac. You can also opt for a cheaper dac without the built-in amp, but be limited to only speaker outputs etc. Either way, the 2 above dip in price fairly often. As for speakers, something like the NEUMI BS5 or MouKey M20-3... Stretch your budget a bit more and maybe get a set of Sony SSCS5. For sub, a cheap option that is solid is the Monoprice 108248. All in, with sub, you should be around $350-450. Plus, you have more connectivity and flexibility to upgrade and replace.
Iv the same issue with my monitor stand like yours, so i will take the plunge and save up and get this one, been looking for a good audio system that can use usb instead of the 3.5mm cable :)

Fair enough! I do like the all-in-one thing though. Less wires and stuff.

excellent review I'm just looking for a sound bar for my setup
Thanks! I never thought of getting a soundbar for my PC, but I really like it. I'm going to keep using it.
wish this was sold on amazon
I have the v1 and all i can say is that it's good. I hate wearing headsets as my ears get hot quick. I may have to think about upgrading to this.
Another banger of a review. I wish you'd let us sample how the soundbar sounds though. Cheers
Noted!

Excellent review would have liked to listen to you play some video games on it. Otherwise there was a good review
can it play sound from 2 sources at the same time and can you turn off the colored LEDs all together
got no clue about 2 sources but i know that u can turn off the annoying leds :D
I have a creative sound card does this plug into the sound card with 3.5 mm jack
Awesome!
Glad you think so!
Its an upgrade comparing to the Logitech Z623 2.1 soundsystem?
Is this better the the logitech 560 ?
I tried to use my headset but it said headset is not available what did I do wrong?
this or sonos beam v2?
Is this any good for console play?
Not suited really for sitting back away get a tv soundbar for that
