Low cost, high quality materials, fantastic sound, and a customizable experience all combine to create one of the best systems money can buy right now. I cannot recommend it more, and I can’t see myself switching this speaker system out any time soon.

Look, you can have pretty rainbow colors and every feature under the sun but if the performance and sound quality is poor, in my eyes, it's all for naught. Luckily, the KRATOS S5 absolutely pumps quality sound for music, movies, and most of all, gaming. It's compact yet completely fills my large office with solid audio.
