Pros: -Easy installation
-Works plug and play using XP, vista and Win7
-Small
Cons: -hissing during sound playback
-volume level is always at 100% no matter how you set it in windows. much too loud!
-No drivers/Software on the included CD
-No instruction
Other Thoughts: This sound dongle is loud. No matter how you set up, it will always output sound at 100% volume(tested on Windows7). This is unacceptable if you use headphones. Also the audio quality would be better if you could lower the volume. There is a CD included which contains various drivers and Software, but they are all for different devices. There are no instructions either.
Other than that, well, at least it works.
Bottomline: I don´t know if i had back luck or if it is the fault of my computer, but i had no fun with this dongle. Lack of Software and instructions complete the negative experience. I suggest you try one of the other alternatives.
Happy with it!

Pros: Lite weighted and very small, so it don't bothers other USB Devices near it.
The product looks pritty, not ugly at all.
And with a handy led indicator
Cons: The case isn't that strong, but if you handle with care or add some tape to the case, it should be fine.
Other Thoughts: In other reviews, I heard of poor quality, but I don't hear that at all, the sound is just good.
Bottomline: For the price, a realy good product.
Works well, just plug and play!
plug a headphone or a microphone on it, these both works well.
No need to doubt, its a good purchase
audio usb

Pros: * Drivers included on a minicd.
* Great if you don't have a sound card or your sound card is broken (laptop).
* I find the sound not perfect but still very good. Even when playing loud music the sound is still very good.
* Easy install
* Good build, the case is just plastic in the shape of an usb stick so it won't be blocking other usb ports nearby.
* LED indicator
Cons: * The internal unit could move around inside when i got it. (Was easy to open and put it back in place.)
* LED indicator if you use it on a frontside usb.
Other Thoughts: Don't have any problem with noise on the output with this product, even when playing loud music with hard bass. (Didn't use the soundrecorder)
Bottomline: Good replacement if you got a laptop/desktop with no or a broken soundcard.
You really can't go wrong for this price, the quality it produces is very good, certainly for this price.
Wow. I can't belive this works!

Pros: IT actually does work. Surprisingly and the sound is fairly decent.
No drivers required for Windows XP. Plug and play.
The unit is tiny! I have mine taped underneath my laptop so i can always find it.
Cons: Other than the annoying blinking red light its okay. It's way too loud for my liking, but my head phones have always been loud.
There is a bit of static coming off the output port. It not bad and the actual sound easily drowns it out. When no sound is playing, the device mutes the output port and stops the noise.
Other Thoughts:
Bottomline: A must have for computer with broken sound cards, or if you are downgrading from Vista!
