Pros: A few pros from my perspective 1. Build quality, sturdy, lightweight 2. large clip with heavy spring 3. Love the mechanical slider for better volume control 4. Powered amp to drive 2 head pones 5. Best USB sound card I have heard to date. 6. long Battery life 7. Tons of software features 8. On my 2 year old Droid Samyoung tablet It did make a large improvement with all music and movies.
Cons: Even though it claims it will greatly improve sound out of a smart phone, I think that claim is debatable. Noticed on my iBone 5s that music was slightly more enjoyable over all. Music like Jazz and acoustic songs came more alive. Hip Hop, Rap, Metal, and Rock had no noticeable difference. Same results on my HTC phone.
Overall Review: Mainly purchased as a USB sound card for my work PC and laptop with the added bonus that it may improve Phone audio. Best USB sound card I have used to date. Turned my work PC/Laptop music experience into pure bliss over the built in real junk sound card. This $45 dollar Gizmohas stopped my from buying a new tablet and now movie time is on a new level of awesome sound. Even though it did not vastly improve the sound coming from my Phones. it did provide a great way to share music with out sacrificing volume a phone.
