XT120 vs Soundblade

What XT120 and Soundblade have in common

Both XT120 and Soundblade are soundbars designed to improve audio quality compared to built-in TV or monitor speakers. They share several core characteristics, including:

• Soundbar-style audio design
• Clearer sound than built-in speakers
• Compact, all-in-one form factor
• Simple setup for everyday use
• Designed to improve dialogue and general audio clarity

Despite these similarities, they are designed for very different setups and listening distances.

Key differences at a glance

Intended use and placement

This is the most important difference between the two models.

XT120 is designed for television use, where sound needs to fill a room and be heard clearly from a distance. It is intended for home entertainment setups and is not designed for desk-based or close-range listening.

Soundblade is designed for desk and monitor setups, delivering focused sound for close-range listening.

If your soundbar will be used with a television in a living room or lounge, XT120 is designed for that environment.

If your soundbar will be used with a computer, monitor, or gaming setup, Soundblade is designed for that purpose.

Listening experience

XT120 provides fuller sound suitable for movies, TV shows, and shared viewing in larger spaces.

Soundblade delivers more directional audio optimised for sitting close to the soundbar.

Both improve clarity compared to built-in speakers, but the listening experience differs based on distance and placement.

Space and setup considerations

XT120 is physically larger and intended to sit under a TV or on a media unit.

Soundblade is more compact and shaped to fit comfortably on a desk or under a monitor.

Choosing the right model depends on how much space you have and where the soundbar will be positioned.

Which one should you choose?

Choose XT120 if you:

• Use a television in a living room or lounge
• Sit several metres away from the screen
• Want room-filling sound for shared viewing
• Prefer a traditional TV soundbar setup

Choose Soundblade if you:

• Use a desktop computer or monitor
• Sit close to the screen
• Want focused audio for gaming, videos, or work
• Need a soundbar designed for desk-level placement
