Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 Pro turns your PC or notebook into a 5.1 entertainment system, featuring SBX Pro Studio technology. Easy to install, it replaces low quality on-board audio with high quality connectivity options and remote control. A convenient volume control knob, headphone and microphone inputs for a headset are also close at hand.
Pros: Flawlessly routes 5.1 audio over a single USB connection, saving you the trouble of installing a card inside your case, while also making it really easy to switch between devices.
Cons: Bloatware in the installation disc. Do a custom installation and uncheck everything that doesn't say "driver".
Overall Review: This thing is awesome!! My speakers are alive. Audio tracks, games, everything - I can hear things that just weren't there before on an integrated sound card. If you don't have a dedicated sound card, but have a surround-sound system hooked up to your PC, Do yourself a favor and pick one of these things up. Your ears will thank you!
