2 out of 5 eggsShort life, but it worked I guess

Pros: It did what it was supposed to do. Sound quality was fine, mic worked. Until it stopped working.

Cons: Mic randomly stopped working (earlier today, actually). Tried different peripherals, appears the problem is with the jack.

No physical damage/changes...it stopped working in the middle of a video. I assumed it was a driver error. Multiple restarts and driver installs, multiple mic's attempted, no resolution.

Other Thoughts: I guess it's a nice product when it works. I'm guessing my issue is unique? Especially based on all the other positive reviews. Oh well, time to drop more cash on a replacement.

4 out of 5 eggsGreat product

Pros: Worked great. Surprisingly small, about the size of a stick of memory, maybe a little larger. Didn't take long to unbox, and almost instantly had sound.

Definitely a relief since my audio blew out on my motherboard.

Cons: There's a slight whisper in the background. Not accustomed to that. It's a very slight audio distortion. I'm sure most people will know what I mean when I refer to it as a slight whisper.

Other Thoughts: I wonder how long it lasts. Might update when it dies.

5 out of 5 eggsSimple Fix

Pros: This is a perfect and simple solution when the onboard audio goes bad. There is very little detectable background noise and my old Harman/ Kardon 2.1s never sounded better.

Cons: No cons for me. Maybe too bulky for notebooks.

Other Thoughts: Haven't tried the mic input.

5 out of 5 eggsworks like a charm

Pros: This thing is perfect!

Cons: not a one

Other Thoughts: Finally able to bypass my broken onboard sound. The sound quality is on par with the onboard sound when it worked.

5 out of 5 eggsGreat product

Pros: Great Product. Solved my audio issue

Cons: Accidentally pressed the buy button twice results in buying two of this. My mistake though.

Other Thoughts: My motherboard can only recognize my video card audio. It can't recognize its on board audio so i bought this and the problem is solved.

4 out of 5 eggsBulky, but works well.

Pros: Works well
Easy to install
Easy to use

Cons: A bit bulky, especially if it needs to sit on your desk.

Other Thoughts: I bought this to replace the sound card on my laptop as my headhphone jack got messed up on the laptop. It worked just fine, but it was a little bulky to sit on my desk (as it had to for my purpose).
