Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Amazing little device, my machine does not have a sound driver compatible for it and Windows 7 and this little beauty fixed my problem real quick. And for an awesome price.

Cons: None to speak of...

Good fix for using speakers when the headphone jack broke

Reviewed By: on 1/31/2010

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year

Pros: I purchased an eMachines emd250 Netbook and a month later the headphone jack already quit working but the built in speakers still work. But I needed sound while using my headphones so this little device worked without problems in Windows 7 Starter Edition. Very low power draw too.

Cons: The cap is a little frustrating to take off at times, and on Vista / 7 you need to set the default audio device to the USB sound card and not the onboard audio. Its a small trade-off for convienence I suppose.

Other Thoughts: It does what its supposed to do, theres nothing fancy to make your friends go wow, except they might think its a WIFI adapter instead of a USB sound solution. Its a very small price to pay when you do not want to try and fix the problem yourself internally (inside the laptop by messing with soldering tools etc)

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Great sound - No static or anything just clear as crystal
Gets very loud - had volume all the way up and went to plug my headphones in and immediately took them outta my ears it was so loud so have fun rock/metal people.
Nice Compatibility - Vista recognized it, plug-n-play didn't even need the driver CD but am thankful it came with one.
Tight cap - The cap was so tight I could barely get it off at first but after about 7 times taking it on and off it's tight enough to where its not gonna fall off but you won't have any trouble with it.

Cons: Well the only thing I can think of is it not having its own build in speaker but i doubt any of the Usb adapter have their own speaker built in so you don't have to use headphones all the time. Nice idea though.

Other Thoughts: My on-board sound-card for my laptop is just, well it's broken so i got this to fix my sound problem and it worked flawlessly :P
