Sound Quality Build Quality Portable

Even without the proper software installed right away, it was already operational. Once all software from Creative installed awesome sound from my games on testing 😀 and great lighting effects on the card to match the rest of my PC lighting internally.

Coming from years of using audio cards (PCI & USB) utilizing C-Media chips i can say this is an upgrade. The C-media were always plenty loud to drive high impudence headphones and sound quality was great but i could not tweak the EQ too much because i would get sound clipping, the amps on the chips were simply not able to handle much more headroom. This sound blaster has the head room and the volume. After installing the driver \ software from creative site you get options for bass boost, virtual surround effect, sound enhancement (works well with music and movies alike) and Equalizer. The software also includes a toggle switch between low impudence and high impudence headphones (Large driver headphone usually equal high impedance which requires more power for the sound card to push through). The sound maintains clarity even when tweaking the Equalizer although i found that out of the box i only needed a light boost at the 16k and 60hz (old ears). The mids are perfectly tuned for my taste with plenty of bite, presence and clarity. Your experience may vary depending n the headphones you use.

* Easily installed and accessed * Drivers are up-to-date * Amazing sound quality (Note: I use ATH-m50x headphones) * Sleek, minimalist design on the card in-tower * Usable with a more wide array of input and output cords * Directional sound is absolutely ridiculous. My COD abilities went through the roof after this purchase. * Deep bass you can feel, punchy drums, beautiful trebles * PCIe format keeps the table-top clutter to a minimum, as opposed to other amp and dac combos * The audio control module adds a layer of instantaneous, "analog" control that I absolutely love.

Sound quality. Great sound processing. Control and convenience.

Great product. On board audio quit. Purchased this card and audio works fine now.

Works well ( and I am using Linux Mint and Cachy

Comes with low profile bracket. Sound is great compared to onboard sound component.

Amazing Sound, Amazing Software, RGB(It Glows!)

Have always been a fan of Creative's sound card line up since the days of Win 98. This card is no exception... it was easy to set up, and even gives my Creative 7.1 surround headphones a run for their money, compared to it's own 7.1 USB sound device. I have them paired with a sound bar; easily switches between the two with little to no recognizable sound differences at lower volumes.

gave color and depth to the sound in my computer system

It usually takes me a very long time to actually buy something these days. I'll check reviews for hours and still not buy the item if there's negative critiques, even when most are positive. In this case this is coming from personal opinion all specs aside. This little box is pretty good... I'm surprised at it's performance straight out of the box. I usually believe you get what you pay for but this time just a little more than I expected. It took kinda long for shipping but nothing like (wish) and it may just be me I have expectations from newegg (awesome shipping). If you need a better sound solution than the current #@#$ you got than this is a great buy!!!

haven't used it it yet but they shipped it very fast i hope to soon when i build a rig for just music

- Windows 10 detects and automatically installs with zero hassle - Great sounding audio over my onboard Realtek sound (especially at 24-bit/192KHz) - Reasonable price

-Sounds are much crisper and sharper. Bass also sounds deeper without distortion. Be sure to use 'direct mode' to utilize the best of the card. I'm not sure how to explain it, everything just sounds better! I haven't bought a sound card since 2007 but I figured I would soup up my new pc as much as possible - absolutely no regrets at all. I'll never go back to on-board audio ever again!

Easy to plug in and download the soft ware. This card was a big improvement from the onboard sound. The clarity and loudness lets me hear more in my games.

Works as advertised, I bent mine in half accidentally putting to much stress on it with other cables and it STILL WORKED. Originally I bought it because the sound card on my pc went out.
