Creative SoundBlaster X Katana

Creative revamps its Sound Blaster gaming soundbar.

I was sitting at a restaurant with a group of friends one Sunday afternoon after church when a couple of girls started talking about makeup. "I spend an hour every day putting on makeup before I leave the house," the first girl said. "I just do not leave the house without it." The second girl responded, "I would rather have an extra hour of sleep than to put on makeup." Taking the opportunity to join this conversation, I said, "That is the exact same reason why I do away with makeup as well." Now, while it is not literally wrong I prefer an extra hour of sleep over putting on makeup, the actual reason why I do not put on makeup is not because I need an extra hour of sleep. After all, I am a guy, and I am not into that kind of stuff. With the popularity of soundbars in the market today, I will have to boldly say that, in a similar manner as to why I do not put on makeup, people do not prefer soundbars over actual speakers because of its sound quality. People want soundbars because they deliver better performance than primitive systems like the one built into your TV (or maybe nothing at all), and for the form factor and convenience it offers, it is as well as you can do, given the constraints. As I was looking around for a soundbar that fits underneath my 42" TV that doubles as a monitor for one of my computers in my basement, one product caught my eye. The Creative Sound BlasterX Katana promises great audio performance for gaming and entertainment alike in an aesthetically pleasing package. Creative has long been known for their computer audio products since the 1980s. How successful are they today with the Sound BlasterX Katana? Read on to find out!
