I like the product very much, fully consistent with my expectations.

In general, not bad, the internal software is more likely to play around than to build quality without explicit filters. Fully justifies its money.

Pros
  • I got everything I was waiting for, raised the level of playback from a laptop.
Cons
  • All the same, 192 kHz is not enough.

A great option for this money, one of the best offers.

I have been using it for more than a month and in games I began to hear much louder than on the built-in sound, the sound is cleaner at times and the sound quality too. I'm satisfied with the headphones reveals generally better than the built-in and the marshall eq headphones.

Pros
  • Small and the sound adds if you set it up.
Cons
  • Not yet

The product is completely satisfied, performs its functions.

The quality without enhancements is not much different from a regular Realtek Audio sound card, but with them it's on a different level. You can seriously add low / high, add volume, highlight the voice - there will be a killer sound - although this may not be a balanced sound. I listen in full-size wired headphones Sony MDR-1A, YouTube Music, in high quality (there is a choice of sound quality).

Pros
  • There is an equalizer, sound enhancers - you can seriously add low / high, highlight your voice.
Cons
  • Doesn't really amplify the sound without enhancements (it's a different level with them)

Best thing for the money, glad I did it.

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

Pros
  • Sound Price Drivers
Cons
  • Personally, it would be more convenient for me to have a card that is inserted into USB and does not hang on the wire, but these are trifles

Everything in the purchase suits, a very necessary product.

On alternative operating systems (i. E. Windows) did not check. Got used for cheap. Wouldn't buy a new one for the money. Its pros: It started up without problems on Raspberry Pi B+, Raspberry Pi 3 Raspbian/GNU Linux with a standard driver from the kernel, without any additional manipulations. Drop dead loud even with a drawdown in voltage. It is able to mix sound channels at the iron level, which cards from other manufacturers will do in the very last case, most often in the driver at the…

I am amazed at how well made the product is, just magical!

It is very important to have a normal headset or just headphones, then the sound system will perfectly pump them with bass and other frequencies. All this is configured in the software. If you have a bad headset / microphone - the hum due to sockets (and lack of grounding) is 40-50% tolerable. At 60-100%, the hum is noticeable, you need software noise reduction. True, all these hums disappear with a normal headset / microphone, so the sound system is of high quality in this regard. Could add a…

Pros
  • Sound quality with native software, despite its compactness. Even without software, it's better than the built-in realtek (compared with ALC662). There is a switch to gain 64-300 ohms. The sound is loud. There is no distortion at bass/treble frequencies, background noise (which is as quiet as rustling) is removed automatically if there is no sound, or you can permanently remove it by slightly lowering the volume on the headset/headphones.
Cons
  • there is no noise reduction on the microphone in the software, and there is no gain control.

It functions perfectly, nothing unusual.

I connected the card, after that the sound became like from a barrel. I thought it was a software issue. I downloaded the software for this sound card and nothing really changed. Yes, the sound has become a little louder and clearer, but in any case, it is an order of magnitude quieter and worse than in the native motherboard. The equalizer and other settings did not fix the situation.

Pros
  • Inexpensive.
Cons
  • The sound became quieter than from the built-in "zvukovuhi".

Mediocre goods, most likely I will not use.

the seven immediately saw the map and installed their firewood, but I didn’t want the control panel from the creative and very much in vain. I already see that many people have problems with the fact that their native software does not see the card after installation, the same garbage I had (there is no digital signature for some software files) uploaded via f8 to at least see if it’s worth puffing. So, apart from the equalizer, there are really no settings, I especially upset the microphone…

Pros
  • the size
Cons
  • creative software

The best product, from those that I have viewed, I advise everyone!

I use this thing with a budget gaming laptop, where they decided to save money on such things as a "sound card", and so this thing has changed this situation a lot. No background noise was noticed, the drivers are from Microsoft, they have the best sound for me;)) I use it paired with Microlab Solo 5C, so I can’t say anything about the sound in the headphones. In general, the thing is suitable for those who have very simple sound cards, with built-in cards of a level above the "average" one…

Pros
  • Great sound, quality, brand
Cons
  • Drivers from the manufacturer

Everything is fine, there are only minor drawbacks.

In general, taking into account the price, all the minuses are nit-picking and in terms of sound quality and microphone, the sound is better than the standard realtek every 10 times, I doubt that anyone will regret it. Some pros: Easily connects to everything, even a laptop. The sound of the microphone is very clear even with ordinary Chinese ears for 10 bucks, and that's exactly what I took (too lazy to make a sample, you can take my word for it (or you can not believe it)). For 2k it is quite

Just super, the product is made wonderfully, very satisfied.

I am satisfied with the purchase. The sound has changed. I was soaring for a long time that I could spend money, but there would be no effect. I read and watched tons of reviews, but they are all marketing, you can count adequate reviewers on the fingers. After the purchase, I immediately changed my mind, I spent the money and I do not regret it, the effect is there and it is noticeable. At the same time, not only I noticed, but also the neighbors around.

Pros
  • 1. There was a strong deep bass. 2. Clear simple equalizer 3. Convenient program for working with the device 4. Support and drivers are easy to find and install 5. There are additional sounds that are not audible when listening from an expensive motherboard (ASUS PRIME B450M-A) 6. No need to occupy a PCI port. 7. The design is a little strange. But in essence, these are trifles.
Cons
  • 9. All the same, it can only download the 2.0 system, but for the room it's beyond the eyes. 10. The price tag is around 2 thousand. But this is adequate, so buying speakers for 10 thousand and connecting them to the motherboard is a game.

The best thing for the money, I'm glad I chose this option.

The elite Creative speakers are dead. Bought new Creative GigaWorks T20 Series II. They have a dull bass with a boom like BUUUUUUUUEM at the very bottom . But most importantly, there are too many high frequencies, which is why listening to them, as well as headphones through them, is a headache and annoyance for me. So I decided to take a chance and bought Creative SB Play! 3 for a possible solution to the problem. As a result, the sound is now more pleasant, better, the bass is more diverse…

Pros
  • + Pleasant range of sound settings that are not found in the usual Realtek + Basses of different stripes + The lowest price of adequate sound +Most compact
Cons
  • Why this wire? Why not make it in the form of a regular flash drive .

The best thing Ive ever used, a great item for everyone!

Decided Windows 10 immediately. The sound went. I installed the program from Creative for this sound card - it does not see it. Useful to understand the Internet. It turned out that you need to install special branded drivers. After installing them, the program worked as it should. Additional settings in the program worsen the sound. I don't recommend using them.

Pros
  • Earned immediately. Small. It does not stick directly into the port - when the headphone cord is pulled, the port will not break out. The sound is good. Whether it differs from the built-in - I do not know. Didn't run any tests. Relatively inexpensive. Headphones at 64 Ohm pull normally.
Cons
  • When the headphone resistance is set to 64-256 ohms, it makes little noise. In normal mode, there is complete silence in the pauses.

There are pluses and minuses, think before you buy.

I bought it more like the same universal adapter for any headset, and not a sound enhancer. It is for this reason that play 3, and not 4 (there is exactly one 4pin connector in that one) or, say, G1 (also one). It more or less copes with this, but . Statics. Damn static. It looks like this: you listen to music on headphones from your phone, or you are conferencing. Everything is awesome. Then you are shocked in the ear and the computer loses the sound system. After 20 seconds, you start the…

Pros
  • 1. Works on both mac and windows 2. You can plug in both 2x3.5 jack and 4pin headsets - the microphone will work in both cases (for some reason, you can just find the necessary adapter on sale) 3. The sound gets louder 4. There is a built-in headphone amplifier, with multiple presets 5. Compactness - took and carried away
Cons
  • I compare with the previous asus xonar dg. - This one doesn't have virtual surround sound (local surround unfortunately can't be compared with dolby virtual surround on xonar; at a comparable price). - On windows without the sound itself, drivers are not installed at all, they are installed on a poppy, but until you connect it, you can't see the settings. - ASIO? No, haven't heard. Xonar has it. - Speakers - maximum stereo (or 2.1). Again, xonar could do it up to 5.1 (I don’t even remember about optics anymore).

Average quality, not a great product.

I took EarPods with a microphone to work. As a result, I just bought a splitter, because. this noise is impossible to work with. Some pros: It is easy to connect, the driver for Windows 10 is automatically installed, but for completeness of the settings you need to download from the manufacturer's website Cons below: I saw reviews about the fact that there is so-called white noise. I decided to take a chance, well, you never know, all of a sudden I won’t have it. No, there is noise, it is not…

Wonderful quality, one hundred percent satisfied!

Do not think that this is the best sound card . there are much better and better ones - but they are all significantly larger in size. This audio card, being compact, transforms the sound of the built-in sound system to a new level (be sure to install native drivers and adjust to your headphones). Definitely recommend for purchase to laptop owners, precisely because of the compactness and high-quality sound. Headphones must be of high quality. Owners of asus ux325ja are simply required to…

Pros
  • Compact, lightweight, and of course the original creative sound.
Cons
  • For an audio card, there is no such form factor.

It is better not to buy it, the product is not what it should be.

The sound is good enough. I tested it on a Lenovo monoblock, with a built-in weak sound. The sound on this external card is better than from my built-in motherboard card. But, if you turn on dolby atmos (paid version, purchase a little over 1 thousand, you can test it for free for 7 days), then with it (on a regular built-in card) the sound is much better than on an external one. It's a pity, but after testing I handed it back to the store.

Pros
  • The sound is quite good, but I expected more.
Cons
  • Mediocre sound

Full compliance with the manufacturers assurances, high quality.

Bought for pc. Although I have a top mother on a z370 from msi and the sound is not bad, but it is only good when using the recommended nahimic program. Which increases the volume in the headphones and really enhances the sound. But unfortunately in some games because of nahimic there are problems. And without it, the sound is not so rich. Decided to buy a sound blaster. The sound immediately improved, bass appeared in the headphones. I thought that my headphones generally do not know how to…

Pros
  • Good sound!
Cons
  • Until I noticed.

The purchase brought only positive emotions.

I read and looked at a lot of reviews on external sound cards, read reviews and so on. The fact is that I needed a device in two directions at once - and an excellent sound (at least for headphones of the middle segment) and that the microphone recorded cleanly and perfectly. Without going into details, I cannot shove my chic soundcard scarf into the case, the heat from the vidyashka ventillators will kill it. That's why I was looking for an external one. Too expensive options dismissed…

Pros
  • Everything is great, except (in shortcomings). There is a chic processing chip here, the wiring itself at Creative has also always been at a high level.
Cons
  • Price, inflexible short uncomfortable wire, only two budget outputs, no digital sound output, disgusting software from the creative itself.

Just super, the product is made wonderfully, very satisfied.

I was looking for just such a DAC / Card, getting rid of the speakers in the PC and I needed something that outputs sound and simultaneously receives a signal from a microphone, because. udalenka, streams and all that. I looked at aliexpress options, but there is something very cheap and of poor quality, but then I accidentally saw Creative and immediately ordered it. 1) The sound is good. True, I have a Sabaj DAC, it produces a sound (when listening to music) cleaner and better, but in games…

Pros
  • Price, sound, functionality
Cons
  • no indicator light
