To get a better PC speaker you would need to spend 30% more. As for the complaint about the base. Back firing speakers make the base. Closer to the wall, the bigger the base.
I windows go under your audio settings and turn off enhanced audio. You will get better sound quality.
Music: It great with things like EDM, Hip Hop and the like. It plays music well at best. It can get muddy on some tracks.
Movies: This is an area it shines. Dialog come out clear and easy to hear. Explosions and gun fire sound great. This is an area this sound bar shines for its price range. You would really need to spend 30% more to do better.
Video Games: Right in the same range of movies. This speaker shines for all the reasons I listed in movies. Om top of that, it does an ok job of giving you directionallity. I have picked up players moving from left to right. Picking up slight sounds like people sneaking.
But there is more: Light immersion for the games supported is a nice touch. The list of games this works with is not huge but it's a nice touch that I love.
Pros:
1. For the price you won't find a better package. If you can spend more, why are you here?
2. Nice range and good base but not so deep that it can't fit apartment living.
3. RGB if you love this kind of thing, this is for you.
4. Clean build. One wire.
5. One button press to switch between last used audio devices. So switching between the sound bar and your headset is easy.
6. The app for your phone is really Awsome and that's a big deal because of the cons below.
7. Compact little unit that sounds bigger then it looks.
8. Price and value.
Cons
1. No way to turn off things like the sounds it makes when it turns on and off. There should be some customization.
2. Chroma Windows app is a mess. This list of things that makes it suck is a long list. You don't need it, phone app controls everything from EQ to RGB lights. Just don't install Chroma.
3. Sometimes the mids can get a littlr muddy. Not completely.
Conslusion: It's worth the price point for the quality. It has a fail rate that can happen a year in. Buy the 2 year 鶹 warranty. It's worth the $10. I'm happy with it and after full testing. I'm keeping as part of my gaming rig. Would buy again.
UPDATE: Bought this almost a year ago and here is my thoughts...
Everything I said above is still what I feel. My Razer speaker has not died and I use it daily. I sit just a little over a foot from it and I cant play a game or music at full volume. Its just too loud. For the price point it punches way out of its weight class. To get better sounding you would need to spend 100% more.
