A toy compared to other DACs in the same price range

Compared to the Mayflower O2 DAC, this is just a toy with some 'cool' features. Processing of the spatial volume. If you have junk headphones, just skip this product. If you have studio or monitor headphones (I'm NOT talking about Beats Studio. Please don't) then they might be worth it if you want to enjoy a wide range of surround sound. Basically, if you have a can that handles the soundstage well, yes go for it. It will be a cool toy for you.

  • Satisfied so far

Fraction Warring - Receiver and Amplifier

That evening I was about to leave with my friends when the goods arrived. So the headset and the sound card came at the right time, everything was fine until I opened the box. as you can see the pictures. It was damaged and had fingerprints and hair on it. It was terrible. Selling used and even broken. So I complained about this incredible situation and they told me it was (long story, short version) "well you can return it if you don't like it". What they said was like "yes you worked up our…

Pros
  • Expensive but decent
Cons
  • So far so good

Doesn't work for me - sounds like a tin can

kinda tinny sound. It is connected to the Aorus Z390 motherboard, I9-9900k. Tried on another PC, same thing. Makes PUBG sound terrible; I haven't tried other games. I tried my Sennheiser GameZero and Sennheiser GSP600 headsets. Headsets are great for connecting to my sound card. Sounds really awful from the GSX 1200. WHY!? I wanted you to like it! I'm giving it a few stars because the puck is super smooth and gives you amazing volume control and the speaker-to-headset switch is a nice touch…

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Modern

Okay, maybe not worth the price compared to Dolby.

Sennheiser has finally released the premium version 7.1, and it's pretty good. The main selling point here is that Sennheiser developed simulated 7.1 surround sound (with many features) to compete with Dolby. Having used both types of Sennheiser I can say that they are both better and most likely not worth the price. Many low-cost games run better without 7.1 enabled (Fortnite), while some games provide better location data with 7.1 enabled (Overwatch) and this gives you the ability to toggle…

Pros
  • Normal price
Cons
  • Not everything fits

Can make popping noises in speakers when power is turned on

Honestly. I expected more. I think the compatibility is acceptable but their driverless design is not perfect. First, every time the computer turns on and off, the speakers come out on my desktop. My original computer didn't have it, but now that I've updated it it does it twice on startup and once on shutdown. The quality is mixed. Sometimes it gets stuck at strange sound due to OS startup and needs to be unplugged and plugged back in. As far as gaming goes, it's passable. When I was using…

Pros
  • Worth the money
Cons
  • For retirees

I only bought this because I wanted virtual 7.1 and it works perfectly. Unfortunately, you'll have to lower the bitrate to DVD sound quality if you want to use this feature, as Micro-USB is used and the standard doesn't support the bandwidth required for 7.1 at higher bitrates. I really like the volume ring, but wish it didn't control the volume of your system, just the output volume like most amps do. The touchscreen has multiple switches and four preset buttons. You can change the switches…

Pros
  • New to my collection
Cons
  • High price

Good but needs improvement

Initial review: I've currently paired this with a GSP 600 and it sounds better than any gaming headset I've tried with this combination of sound card and headset. . Worse than the HyperX Cloud II, for example, I would only say that the 7.1 surround sound is very good down to the last detail. While it might be a good thing because it's more complex and detailed, HyperX Cloud II 7.1's surround sound is much more direct in terms of surround direction. So while this sound card delivers the best 7.1

Pros
  • Handy item
Cons
  • Factor set

The only issue I had with this unit that ultimately caused me to return it was the terrible compression and noise filters on the mic that couldn't be turned off. A very big oversight on the part of the developers! I have a condenser mic and I usually use Discord's built in noise filters as they work really well. I turned these settings off as recommended by Sennheiser but my mic sounded like a junk headset mic maybe worse than this lol it was really awful and extremely…

Pros
  • Positives Only
Cons
  • Easily Repairable

Let me first say that I have a lot of respect for Sennheiser. I consider them one of the best manufacturers of audiophile headphones - even the gold standard for many consumers. I have an HD 650, IE 800 and S660 (one of the best USB headsets for business). I've owned about a dozen other Sennhesier headphones over the last 20 years. They were (and are) my first brand for a long time. I own other high quality headsets such as the Beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pro and have used and sold high quality Shure…

Pros
  • An Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Band
