2.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy it for the Microphone Jack, May 16, 2007

By	Jonathan Strawn (Albuquerque, NM) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    (VINE VOICE)

Amazon Verified Purchase

Amazon won't update the listing on this item, but the "Microphone Jack" is a joke at best. Most microphones require phantom power, a small amount of power from the jack that amplifies the signal. This does not provide any power. What that means is that most microphones won't work, and those that do will be at a low volume with high noise. The sound outputs seem to work fine, but the mic input is a waste of space and money. Don't buy it!

This product is vastly superior, and supplies phantom power. Get it instead.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works great with my Macs, January 23, 2006

By	Taper Wickel - See all my reviews

I picked this up to try to use it as an auxilliary sound device for my Macs after my iMic died; I figured that if it didn't work, I wouldn't be out much. But it works very well; plug it in and it's recognized, without any driver installation. The out-bound sound quality seems very good. All in all, you can't beat the performance for the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works great for my headphones, June 21, 2008

By	J. Reed - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I broke the headphone jack on my laptop, and to get it fixed would cost me hundreds because it's part of the motherboard. So i got this and it works fine for my headphones or external speakers. It uses its own sound card which is pretty decent. My internal sound card is pretty basic itself anyway. I don't use the microphone function so i cant comment on that.
