Expert review by : Geir Nordby (lbtechreviews.com)
Creative's soundbar is for gamers and the only one in the test with USB inputs that replaces the sound card in PCs and Macs.
The soundscape gets an okay feel of surround on film and games, and the subwoofer hangs well together with the sound from the soundbar. A straightforward display simplifies its use.
The overtones are rather taciturn, the dialogues in film sound somewhat woolly, and the music lacks a little spark. The subwoofer is not wireless, HDMI is missing as is support for DTS.
