What customers say about "Features"
Creative Sound BlasterX G5 7.1 Headphone Surround HD USB Sound Card
  • It was easy to install. Great connectivity.
  • It looks amazing and works as intended.
  • It's just plug and play, nothing to adjust only the volume from the AMP.
  • I’ve used it with the DT 250 ohm beyerdynamic 990 Pro worked flawlessly.
  • It's a great product, plenty of features like profiles, surround sound, crystallizer and etc.
EPOS GSX 1000 Gaming Audio Amplifier / External Sound Card
  • The binaural technology implemented is no joke, and the sound is very much outside of your head when using it.
  • The front-and-back surround sound setting is useless.
