What customers say about "Key Specs"
Creative Sound BlasterX G1 7.1 Portable HD Gaming USB Sound Card
- The sound quality was great.
- The G1, with the volume cranked up high enough to make the background hiss a non-issue, sounds great.
- The surround positioning in games and movies is very good, probably the best I've ever heard over a stereo headset.
- The audio quality is more than good enough to expose the difference between lossy mp3s and lossless flac files.
- It works great and the audio is clean, no hissing, even with older headphones without mic.

- The AMP on this is pretty powerful, which is very nice.

- This product sounds great in playback.
