Review on Creative Labs Sound Blaster Play! 3 External USB Sound Adapter - Compatible with Windows and Mac - Plug and Play (No Drivers Needed) - Enhanced 24-Bit 96Khz Playback Upgrade by Aneta Postek ᠌

I've been familiar with Creative products for a long time, all my PCs have sound cards from them, the current one is Sound Blaster Z. I can't listen to the integrated sound, my ears don't perceive it. But the story that a laptop was needed for work, and I did not even suspect how good sound would be missed in everyday use. Built-in sound, despite the gadgets Nahimic from MSI notebook - no. No top, no bottom, I'm not talking about the middle one at all. I decided to take this miracle and did not lose! The sound became completely different, the whole stage appeared, the headphones opened up, and the sound became more or less close to the SB-Z, which for such a price cannot but rejoice. About white noise, which is mentioned here . When I just connected the card to USB, there was noise, I was upset, but after installing the driver, the noise disappeared forever! The sound is crystal clear, the first thing I heard was Dark side of the moon and a couple of Queen songs, in HD Audio, as my ears learned to distinguish good HD (24bit 96/192kHz) FLAC from mp3 10 years ago . Thanks to the creative for the full pleasure behind a laptop, it turns out they can also have good sound! Yes, I forgot to say, all the tests were in Focal Listen headphones, and yes, they sang as they should . Down with the integrated sub-sound, everyone is creative!))
