Today we're going to check out some of the new features, compare it to the old one, and find out whether it's worth it! Enjoy :D

I bought this unit before you review and I love this sound bar. I cranks and sounds really good. Everything you mentioned I agree with you.
always appreciate the quality of your videos... the camera focus, use of sliders and taking the extra effort for color/graphics... definitely inspiring and helps encourage me when making my videos. Keep up it man!
Appreciate the comment dude!
Well a proper 2.1 setup is the ideal. But this is especially usefull if you are using multiple monitors as either you have to leave a space either side of your main monitor for the speaker and the the side monitors are too far out, or the speakers end up being way to far out. If you like to curve the montitors around you, then placing the speakers to the side of these means that they take up lots of desk space, so a simple soundbar underneath the main monitor solves these issues.
Yes exactly.
I love watching your vids and i love the setups
I was thinking of replacing my speakers with a soundbar. This is nice!
Great video, I'll be saving for this. Quick question, what keyboard and caps are you using. It's super clean
I just ordered this! So excited!
how's it holding up?
@@anirudhganesh Its a great soundbar. Well worth the money.
i appreciate your videos as always. I went for the JBL Quantum Duo though. I have a Panasonic soundbar for my home theatre which comes with a wireless subwoover, which is a big plus (for 1/3 of the price compared to the Katana) - but it's not gaming nor rgb.
Feel like I missed something in a video somewhere, where did you get those awesome hexagon wall tiles from?
How would this go at replacing my old surround sound system? I'm looking at a soundbar alternative for my old LG BDV-N9200W I like this sound system but i find it to big for my small room.
Do you have any suggestion if the subwoofer should go on the desk or floor?
Thanks for the review! Quesiton about the connectivity, I have both a laptop and a PS5 connected to the same monitor (Via DP and HDMI). How to set up the Katana for it to work for both the laptop and PS5? Do I just keep everything plugged into the montior and connect the soundbar to the monitor?
Nice review, thanks for that.
Question though...I hate cables and wires and prefer to connect everything via BT if possible, so the same goes for this. Can the soundbar be connected to the sub using BT and can both be connected to the computer via BT so that there is no need to use any cables except for a power cables?
Should i choose this or go for bookshelf speaker ?
can it play two sources at the same time? And can I turn off the LEDs at all?
What keyboard is that in the thumbnail??
Where is the best place to place the subwoofer?
Does V2 good for the TV sound bar in living room?
Can you use the soundbar together with any speaker? Not a tech guy so might be a stupid question
where did you get the hoodie
Hopefully you can help me. I’m
Looking to buy this for my ps5 I do have my setup on a desk so I’m at the space as that is like yours. I won’t be using it for movies or music just to play my game. I do have my Audeze Maxwell but sometimes I just don’t want to have that in my head. My question to you is how is it holding up I’m reading a lot on this product some people say it didn’t hold up but I can’t say what did they use it for and how loud was they cranking it. Have you had any issues so far with this product ??
I have the original and I definitely want to upgrade
Would you say it’s better sound quality than Logitech G560?
Very nice
1:30 nice OSRS
We love the perm brah!
This is my natural hair but thx! 🙌🤣
@@TechTesseract whaaaaaat deym
Hi there! Nice monitor riser in the video. Did you customize your monitor riser by painting the top white? The one in your link is black only. Thanks!
Yeah man we used white contact paper 🙌
I got the katana because of you.
You can recover that footage with recovery tools especially after a reformat as long as you don't put any other data on that drive after the fact.
nice vid
For only PC use, did you connect via optical or USB?
Whenever he is using the sound bar it says usb so I would assume that’s what he uses
nice power mining action in al kharid
Oh thx bro, no exp waste here xD
I don’t know about you but I love wearing headphones mate
Why comment mate? Lol
Loool dakota I can always rely on you for a good troll comment 🤣 ❤
@@redclaw72666 what do you mean
I haven’t heard anything bad about this lol just ordered one so hopefully it’s worth it
How was it? And does this compare to the Sonos beam 2?
@@victorpitan8744 haven’t tried the Sonos Beam 2 but the Katana V2 is great for gaming
I just found this device and it sounds wonderful. Recently I've been unable to wear headsets because they aggravate the top of my head. Right now I'm using earbuds, but I'm not sure I'll be able to use them long term either.
So a soundbar such as this one (the V2) could be my final solution. If it's wireless then that's a big bonus; cords can be messy.
No sound test?
1:40 goddamn, you must be immersed af in al kharid mines
Hell yeah 😎😎😎😎
I have been the proud owner of the original Katana and haven't looked back. Based on that experience... I am at the brink to pull te trigger and "upgrade"... Ugh! The conflict is strong in me.
Link for us v2 doesn't have the same controller. It's the ir remote
There's 2 product options on the page, it's the one on the right 👍
Me, in an appartment building so terribly made you can literally hear your neighbours pee if it isn't too noisy outside: hmmm yes I definitely want to check things like a good soundbar with subwoofer. Surely I can use something like this in my room.
ok thanks for sharing
This or Sonos beam v2?
How can you use the beam on pc?
@@KaymanNetwork optical if your sound card support
@@smiks23 No you need HDMI E-ARC on monitor or use a converter that cost as much as the beam then plug it in to HDMI on GPU, otherwise you will not have access to Dolby Atmos and not sure if the surround sound will work as well. Because of this you cant use beam on PC imo without a monitor with e-arc.
الان این میکروفن هم داره یانه ؟
