It's as simple as downloading the computer program to your PC (or Mac), and then simply plug the soundbar into your PC via the USB cable and follow the on-screen instructions, as the program and soundbar will do the rest. I do recommend that you update the Katana's firmware. I ran an optic cable from the back of the Xbox One S to the soundbar, and the included cable for the soundbar to run to the subwoofer, and I was already to go. This included the soundbar, the subwoofer, power cable, a USB cable, I/R remote as well as 2 wall mount brackets should you have the placement to put it on a wall. I opened it up and found all the contents that I needed inside. When the Katana arrived, I was surprised how compact the box was, but yet how heavy it was too. With that in mind, we were sent a unit for review, and for the past few weeks I have been putting it through its paces using my Xbox One S in my home office. At E3 2017 this past June, I was walking the show floor and saw Creative's booth with the Katana in action, and while standing there it hit me, this soundbar/subwoofer combination would be great those who use their Xbox One in a small room like those mentioned above.

Sure, gaming headsets are great, but what if you don't want to game with a headset on all the time and you don't want to just use your TV's internal speakers. Many rooms can be small and are not able to accommodate your typical stereo or a dream surround sound set-up. You'll find various room setups that gamers pursue their hobby in, be it in a home theater or media room, a family room, a home office, a living room, and even a den or dorm room, just to name a few. Xbox gamers, or any console gamer for a matter of fact, don't always game in the ‘perfect' environment. With that being said, I've reviewed a few Xbox headsets over the past year or so, but I have yet to do a review like this one you're about to read. Current consoles are capable of a lot of different sound codecs, from standard stereo, Dolby Digital, DTS, and even Dolby Atmos, the latter is only ‘top-tier' if you have speakers in your ceiling or are using a compatible headset for the sound codec. Sound plays an important part in gaming today. Subwoofer Dimensions: 33.3 cm (h) x 13 cm (w) x 29.9 cm (d) Sound Bar Dimensions: 6 cm (h) x 60 cm (w) x 7.9 cm (d) ![]()
