Measuring over 80 cm wide, the Naga 80 is engineered to deliver full-spectrum sound with greater range, depth, and precision. Inside, it features two 2.25” full-range drivers, side-firing tweeters, and a built-in 2.5” subwoofer, projecting up to 140W of peak power. Whether it’s explosive action scenes, orchestral scores, or booming game environments, the Naga 80 surrounds listeners with rich, 3D-style sound.

Users can switch between EQ modes for Music, Movies, or Dialogue, optimising the sound profile in real time. The included IR remote offers intuitive control over volume, source, and bass settings, while touch-sensitive top buttons provide convenient access on the device itself.

Form Meets Function

With its premium all-metal chassis and low-profile design, the Naga 80 blends modern style with lasting durability. It fits seamlessly beneath TVs or can be mounted on the wall using the included hardware. A discreet LED display shows input and mode info, while energy-saving features like auto-standby help reduce power consumption when not in use.

This soundbar is not huge either and can be placed anywhere and with included wall mounted brackets inside this can be wall mounted if you wish to so so for me it is not the case and on the locker where my  TV sits and I get away from it all and turn things up to the max and when you do with this soundbar connected it changes to mood rather swiftly and enhances anything you might be listening to or watching.

With a nice neat remote control you are in control of how this works and what sound to deliver including 3D which turns things up another notch.

There is end cap tweeters 2X speaker drivers and 1 sub woofer all built in to this compact soundbar which has EQ controls on board to get the perfect sound for you and sit back and enjoy the capabilities on offer.

With decently loud volumes here and nice bass thrown in there is no shortage of settings to suit the film or music you might be listening too and overall enhance the audio experience as in general the speakers on TVs are not great and fort an affordable price giving you a cinematic experience this is a must have for your home and do check out the video review below for more.

#IFA2023 – Sennheiser AMBEO Soundbar Mini

The German audio brand’s award-winning AMBEO Soundbar experience is now available in a new versatile size: the Sennheiser AMBEO Soundbar Mini. With a sound that punches well above its weight and up to 7.1.4 virtualisation, the latest addition to the spatial audio Soundbar family readies even the smallest of spaces for three-dimensional acoustics.

“The magic of Sennheiser AMBEO technology immerses consumers in stunning 3D sound from a simple, single source in practically any home entertainment space,” says Maximilian Voigt, Sennheiser AMBEO Soundbar Product Manager. “Our most compact Soundbar yet comes at the perfect time with both features and dimensions that are a joy to live with, in or out of the living room.”

A fun-size bar
​At less than half the cubic volume of its Soundbar Plus sibling, it’s easy to see why the Sennheiser AMBEO Soundbar Mini appeals to audio lovers looking to upgrade a current living room, desktop, bedroom, or even game room setup. At just 70 x 10 x 6.5 cm in size, it blends into nearly any TV or monitor arrangement, yet stands out with its cutting-edge acoustics. There are 250 watts of ultra-clean class D amplification powering four high-end full-range drivers and dual four-inch subwoofers, so consumers can expect the sharp fidelity, impactful bass and crystal-clear presence that make its bigger relatives a hit with audio critics.
​
​Other useful audio modes personalise the listening experience, including content-specific presets, a voice enhancement option and neighbour-friendly night mode. Ease of use is at the heart of the Mini, with a HDMI input that accommodates a wide range of eARC-enabled TVs or monitors. Integration with the Sennheiser Smart Control App makes management of features and updates from your smartphone a breeze.

Those who know, AMBEO
​Like its larger siblings, the Sennheiser AMBEO Soundbar Mini’s 3D sound is the result of a collaboration with the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS—a world leader in audio research and development. The Mini has four integrated microphones that serve a dual purpose: they function as the central component of the AMBEO room calibration, and facilitate Alexa voice assistant commands as the Soundbar features Alexa Built-In. Consumers also have the option to utilise existing Google Assistant or Siri-enabled devices to cast audio to the Mini through Chromecast Built-In™ and AirPlay®, respectively.
​
​As with all AMBEO Soundbars, the native AMBEO|OS operating system allows for one-touch calibration that scans the room, adjusting the surround virtualisation to account for various room sizes, reflections, and textures. Further, the Mini supports popular Dolby Atmos®, DTS:X™, MPEG-H codecs, and 360 Reality Audio formats and experiences for enjoying native spatial audio content. A wide-ranging support of digital music services also makes the Mini a great streaming companion over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth® with vibrant, room-filling sound and impactful bass—all the way down to 43 Hz—from your favourite streaming services such as a Spotify®, TIDAL, Amazon Music, and Apple Music®. AMBEO|OS seamlessly integrates the Mini into popular content ecosystems as a Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, and AirPlay 2 device. ​ Bass lovers can add even more low-end punch with wireless connection to as many four Sennheiser AMBEO Subs (sold separately).

Pricing and availability
​The Sennheiser AMBEO Soundbar Mini will be available to order at sennheiser-hearing.com and select retailers on September 1st, with an RRP of £699 / €799. For more information, visit sennheiser-hearing.com.

Tech Review – Creative Sound Blaster Katana SE Soundbar

The Creative Sound Blaster Katana SE is the fourth in the series from the company making it slip into a different price bracket so what we have here is a product that suits ones needs when it comes to sound, size and features and the case here there is no subwoofer with this one meaning less space taken up but it is slightly larger than others in the range and with all that in mind this still has plenty of ports and connectivity options that caters for just about anyone and not forgetting the RGB lights built in.

The build quality is excellent here again and it is a familiar affair when it comes to the layout of the I/Os and buttons which makes it good for existing users per say to change up or down their current models, for someone new buying this at its price and target market there will be no issues at all with the product. Check out the unboxing below before you read on if you are a first timer and have decided to go for this one.  You can see the Stage 360 here and the Katana V2X here which was our last model to test and sit nicely in line with this one we have now. There is many other models to find on site if you want to have a look.

Unboxing and Walkthrough – Creative Sound Blaster Katana SE

 

 

How does it sound then, hard to call over video but we have a video review below and in short this is excellent and almost up there with the last model and for me this is ideal for anyone who has not ventured into the soundbar game which is now popular, I have an expensive TV  and one for gaming which was not cheap and you expect decent speakers but no, rubbish and downward firing which is still a feature when you buy a TV today and this is why soundbars are popular. Again a caveat here is where your IR port is on TV and soundbars usually block most of them but you can prop up your TV legs if required or fix the speaker the a wall with a bracket mine luckily enough allows me to use the remote but sometimes it is a pain.

The sound is great and that is all that matter I have tried and test with my Phone TV and gaming console and the result is the same optimal audio performance, no lag latency noted which I have notice this being an issue in the past with some soundbars again though this is with streaming and depending on your tv with some have the option to add delay and yes me having and expensive TV still has not got this feature but I am glad to say there is NO lag latency when streaming.

Best placed on your floor or on your TV stand and tuned up to the max sit back and enjoy the thumping bass and sound if your floors are wooden of course and it vibrates through the couch, not only this is coupled with Super X-Fi technology, 5.1 virtual surround capabilities, and versatile connectivity options, the Sound Blaster Katana SE is the ideal soundbar for gamers, movie lovers, and music enthusiasts who want an elevated audio experience without compromising on space or audio quality. If you have not yet tried this or a pair of compatible headphones you do not know what you are missing..

At the end of the day this soundbar delivers and all fronts, there is cheaper out there the price might put some off but from someone who has tested countless soundbars over the years this is worth the investment as it can be used in many scenarios and not just your TV, it is a one stop for sound quality and connectivity options and it is portable around the home or if needs be the office and in my case it does them all including my external office out my back which I often use to get away from the noise and just chill out.

Sound Blaster Katana SE is priced at UK£299.99, US$299.99, EU€329.99 and is available at Creative.com.For more information, visit www.creative.com/katanase
