Thanks for this in depth review! I especially appreciate you pointing out the permanently attached signal/power subwoofer cable and headphone DAC performance. I just bought the closed back variant H6PRO headphones, so I'm looking forward to hearing them come to life.
Great review Joe! Seems like an awesome product. I wish this existed before I bought my Sony soundbar last year. If I end up replacing that I might look into this.
Hi, Thanks for the detailed review, would like to know once we turn the settings through the PC, does this sound bar save the settings locally on the device and work well, when it is connected to the TV or another device except a computer?
I m using the Logitech Z623 for more then 10 Years...and i m asking myself if the Katana V2 sounds better then the Z623? My Z623 is connected to a Soundblaster Z, but the Katana V2 comes with USB-Connection, so it has its own soundcard onboard?
I’m about to buy this soundbar and looking for exactly this! Can you leave the headphones plugged in and select the output to be either the soundbar or the headphones? Without having to disconnect the headphones I mean?
I have a question. I am planning to buy this for my pc setup but I have a PlayStation 5 when I switch to PlayStation 5. Will it pick up PlayStation 5 consoles like will it switch but not stay connected with pc
If you could ever track down a soundappeal soundbar 2.1 I swear it was the best soundboard ever made ever I had a full room of speakers and av receivers and chose to play out that sound bar 9 x out of 10 Had a bass chip built into it too
If my Television only has one HDMI Arc input on it that I have my Nintendo Switch hooked to how would I hook my switch up with the Katana V2 Thx much I subbed very nice informative Video Thx much
So far it looks like a good soundbar! I use the Teufel Cinebar 4.1.. And i love it! It packs a massive punch! BTW, is that a massive drinking mug you have on your table? Any links to that?, hehe. Amazing as always, back to the video got some more to watch 💙
Lol yeah it is! I think I got it at Kohls or Best Buy when it was being clearanced out haha. I have Empire and Resistance. They were about $20 a pop and they hold my iced lattes!
@@GadgetryTech Hehehe, this is awesome! I need one for my room though lol. To keep drinks cold, maybe they're on amazon? 😂 Bring this in in more videos. It looks awesome.
Technically you can if you set the sub level to a very low setting on the sound bar (start with the minimum) then adjust your powered sub volume from the lowest setting and slowly increase until you find the right spot.
@@GadgetryTech thx… I don’t have space for 5.1 setup so I thinking to connect 12inch sub with this bar for gaming… do u think good idea for better performance…?

Purchased this sound bar two months ago. I co-sign how good it is for the price and size.
Hell yeah
@Dan C wait until a sale they do drop it
it's acceptable for music too?
What formats are supported over what inputs? That would be the most important info?
I bought this yesterday. I should be getting it tomorrow. Can’t wait to try it out
10 months later, what do you think of it? I'm looking for a soundbar that isn't too expensive.
Great review Joe! Seems like an awesome product. I wish this existed before I bought my Sony soundbar last year. If I end up replacing that I might look into this.
Thanks! Biggest benefit is if you want a good headphone amp/dac without spending too much. Having it built in sounded great for me.
Great review as always 👍
Nice to see you reviewing our local brand. 👍🏼
Hi, I'm facing the choice of v2 or v2x katana right now. The price of both is practically the same, which will be better to choose?
Regards 😊

Nothing saves to the headset unfortunately. You can enable mic sidetone by holding down the mute button though, and side tone will work on PS5.

i also have the for around 10 years Z623 and looking into the Katana V2 !
Looks feature packed!
By any chance could you select the output for speakers while the headphone is plugged in?

Do you think this is better than the Steelseries arena 9 or 7?
Do I want to plug this into my PC? Or use my HDMI Arc? I use an LG CX 48' for my PC main display.
Can Sound Blaster Katana V2 Soundbar drive Sennheiser HD650s headphones? Can the Chord Mojo 2 and Chord Poly be utilised with this soundbar?
Nice video man! Any plans to do an end of the year video on your top gaming headsets?
This is coming!
Interesting! I wonder if the headphone part is pretty much the same thing as their X3 or X4 external DAC/sound card.

Получается его можно по USB подключить к компьютеру, и он будет как отдельная аудиокарта работать?

Thanks! Appreciate it
Does it do BT phone calls?
Hi.. Can I use It with my own active subwoofer? If it can, should I use LFE connection?
Thx…

@@GadgetryTech thx…

headphones on a soundbar...you'are a funny person
why? PC users will want to use headphones sometimes as well.
@@matthewrezuke8130 the dude is a console peasant lol doesn't know how audio works
Let's get straight to the point...are there other soundbars that provide better sound quality in games for the same price?
RGB lights not required lol
Just bought one with my new Ultra Monster $7,000 gaming PC.
1 year later, what do you think of it mate? thinking about getting it, cheers
7k GAMING PC? Bro what do you even have in it for it to cost that much? lmao
Just a shame there is no dolby atmos
$ 2k headphones? holy siht
This is a dangerous hobby
Sonos beam gen 2 would utterly decimate this bar even without a sub.
Doesn't work well with a PC lol
Different category bud
Lol. I hate my neighbors anyways.
no linux support ...not buying
Buy a generic soundbar lol how hard is that? 🤡
