WOW!!! I have never been so blown away in my life by such a little device! the drivers are simple and diverse, the sound is absolutely amazing for every genre of music and gaming, plus it is portable and easy to install! The only downside is that a headphone and speaker shouldn't be plugged in at the same time on the device, it doesn't prioritize the headphones. This little device is durable, portable, and sounds fantastic! the cheap price isn't because its discounted, its because its a STEAL! I'm not joking when I say this is completely worth the investment, buy this and take full advantage of your speaker set!
Edit 10/6/14:
Welp, after over a year, this little card is still satisfying as ever! However, I have some gripes I've found over the initial acquiring of this product:
* The sound drivers are only meh. While they offer plenty of options to customize the type of sound, the EQ filters, the environment, and microphone and line-in settings, I've had issues forcing it to remember my profiles! It always tends to self-delete my customizations if I either plug it in to a different USB port, or if I try to reboot my computer. Sometimes it remembers, other times it doesn't. Also the UI of the program is not all that polished, but it is easy to use.
* The Microphone is surround input, which means you need a splitter to actually make the audio input stereo instead of mono. There are 2 jacks on the side of the device for microphones, so you either need 2 microphones or 1 microphone with a 2 male --> 1 female 3.5mm splitter. Also, there are no settings for this in the driver program.
* The headphones jack does not stop the audio output to the other speakers plugged into the device, so you can't use your headphones without having the other speakers still turn on, which is VERY annoying.
Other than those major complaints, it's been working fine for me! Still sounds good, there are no issues with the jacks falling loose or becoming duds, the device is still very easy to use, and the line-in and S/pdif features work very well! Overall, still highly recommend it, but it's not quite as poise and polish as I thought it was when I first purchased it. Still a good value!
