PC only product, for something more versatile there is the SB Katana V2.
Wow, no HDMI, no Arc, no Optical, no 3.5mm what a wasted opportunity when considering the price, it's almost as if Razer are stuck in the 1990s. Hard pass for me

I've been extremely out of the loop in regards to speakers as I've relied on my good old Z5500s for ~12+ years. In the eventuality that it will finally die some day (or that I'll upgrade), how do these soundbar setups compare to a good old 5.1? Alone from a convenience POV, I like the idea of not having to drill holes in the wall for the rear speakers and deal with all those cables etc. But what about sound quality and that "spatial" sound?

1) sound quality will be better overall on the Razer. newer DAC, newer (Class D) Amp which is more dynamic (and physically smaller).
2) "spatial" sound will suck compared to the Creative or Logitech 5.1
there is no discrete multi-channel surround, only matrix surround. think 1990's TV sound effect.
for me there are a ton of applications for a good sounding (and looking) soundbar/sub @ $250
but only if a more traditional speaker won't fit. i seriously doubt this could beat an Audioengine/Kanto/Edifier
speaker pair @ same price despite those not having a sub.
OR the Monoprice DT-3 (<$100) PLUS a $150 sub.

Meh, still looks like the Creative Kitana V2 is what im buying on the 30th of this month, want a good 5.1 soundbar system that can use usb or hdmi, and since there similar priced the Creatve seems the best option
