Great USB sound card - won't work on Wii though

Pros: Simple and cheap.

Simply plug into a PC (or some linux machines) and works instantly - adding audio in and out.

Works well with PC for 'Ultra Star' singing game, to give a second soundcard for a second player

Cons: Won't work with Wii - but didn't say it would. I had hoped it would though

Other Thoughts: simple, cheap, small, worth having one if you fix pcs - good tool if a PC soundcard dies

Bottomline: buy one if you think you might need it. But not for a wii.

Good for ps3 though apparently... 

Just not wii

Helps keep my desk clean

Pros: Its really small, and fits easily in your USB port.
It works with macs, without drivers or other crap. Just enter sound preferences, and select usb soundcard.
I did a blind test, and i cant hear any quality loss.
I use it in a usb hub, for my laptop. That way i only have to connect the power, and the usb hub, when i "dock" it at my desk.
Then the usb hub takes care of mouse, keyboard, driver, hardrives and so on.
The feel is a little plastic'ish, but even after i dropped it a few times (to test it) it still works like a charm.
Its also great for PC's if you soundcard driver is broken. Cause its a lot easier to just plig this thing in.
 
Cons: Feels like it breaks easily, but it doesnt. Easily takes a bump and a drop.
Theres a red line blinking when its connected, which is kind of annoying. But you can just cover it with a permanent marker, or some black tape.
 
Other Thoughts:  
Bottomline: Works easily, is really cheap. Totally recommended.

Pros: - Plug an play
- Even usable on your PS3: just plug this in any USB port of your PS3 and your normal low cost micro has become an expensive USB microphone!
- Good sound.
- No drivers needed.
- Very small
 
Cons: None
 
Other Thoughts: All fields aded together, your review does not contain more than 500 characters.
 
Bottomline: I gess it might come in handy if the internal sound card of your computer is defective of your computer does not have an sound card.
But I use it as a cheap solution to connect an ordinary microphone to my PS3.
 
					

Excellent sound

Pros: I'm quite picky about my sound quality and while waiting for the package, I was worried that this will be useless. But the sound quality is excellent.
 
Cons: Only recording option in software is microphone. I was hoping to record the output also, but that is extremely minor flaw.
 
Other Thoughts: When you are using it, it blinks a red LED. If you remove it during use, the program using it will freeze. So... don't do that!
Buying something like this locally would have costed me tens of dollars. Amazing quality for it's price.
Can't say much about the build quality. I plugged it in and don't really need to touch it more. So far it hasn't broken down.
 
Bottomline: It just is an external sound card that is more than satisfying.
