5 out of 5 eggsAwesome little device!

Pros: Small, powerful

Cons: Cords

Other Thoughts: I purchased the Sound Blaster E1 as a way to turn my standard earbuds into a communication device for my phone. The built-in mic in the device was perfect and came across crystal clear. The audio coming from my phone into the earbuds was clear, loud and a refreshing change to using the phone handset.

I only wish that bluetooth was added to the E1, in some form. Perhaps from the device to the phone, to minimize the need to have your phone at the ready.

All in all, the device is a must have if you do not wish to invest in a quality bluetooth headset. Although the wires might get in your way, the awesome sound and crystal clear built in mic will let you forget.

5 out of 5 eggsIt's now part of my everyday carry.

Pros: Lightweight, crisp and clear audio, works well using 3.5 mm or USB

Cons: Should have had a right angle 3.5 mm connector

Other Thoughts: I've always wanted to get a portable headphone amp because sometimes what I'm hearing from my devices isn't loud enough.

I purchased the Sound Blaster E1 to work with both my Android phone and Macbook Air. It works well for both devices. When connected to my Android phone, I'm normally listening to music or watching TV shows. I can hear the music and the voices of the actors perfectly clear. I was astonished by the mic feature of the E1 which wasn't something I expected. As for when connected to my Macbook Air, it's using the USB connection, and it's a nice change from using the normal Macbook Air internal microphone when using Skype.

I really wish that the cables that came with E1 had a right angle 3.5 mm connector.

Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase of the E1. It's now part of my everyday carry.

5 out of 5 eggsThe perfect boost!

Pros: I got this product to try to get some extra power out of my PC headset, but now I'm finding uses for it in a lot of other areas. Attaching it to my smart phone allows me to really feel the music, even if I'm just using earbuds, while the E1 mic is significantly more clear than my speakerphone. My friends and family greatly appreciate the clarity!

Cons: The cords provided are red. Wish they were black.

Other Thoughts: My PC headset has never sounded better, while I'm still finding other fun things to use this with. It even allowed me to drown out the sounds of a crying baby on a recent airplane flight!

5 out of 5 eggsCreative Sound Blaster E1!

Pros: Great little device, functions perfectly as intended.

Pros: Great battery life, charges quick, great sound quality, connects to everything super easy!

Cons: None!

Other Thoughts: Other Comments: I bought this to connect my headset to iphone with a better mic and actually found it does a lot more. It's a great hands free thats wired since most bluetooth solutions are still pretty meh. Creative does have the E3 which does support bluetooth for a little more money as an alternative though. Bang for buck though, this is a great device and it's attached to me 24/7 now!
