The general impression is negative. I categorically do not advise buying this device until the software is corrected. Better find something else. Some pros: I'm not an audiophile, I'm happy with the sound, I use it with the dt 990 pro beyerdynamic and the YAMAHA RX-V359 AV receiver. With its cons. Software (Sound Blaster Command) is a disadvantage that for me personally crosses out any advantage. I often switch between headphones and speakers (I do this through the software, although it would be possible to make a switch on the sound card itself). In 95% of cases, you have to resort to a dance with a tambourine. Either the program simply will not start, or the sound card will not be detected, or for some reason, menu items with an equalizer, etc. will not be available. in which you can adjust the sound and switch from headphones to speakers, then the software will freeze, then the settings will fly off. For all the time of using the sound card, I connected it to 3 different PCs, I encountered the same problems everywhere. PS. A few months later, I ated the hardware, reinstalled the OS, the problem went away
