It is good considering the price you pay for it

Pros: - It is very very cheap for a sound board having 1 in and 1 out.
- It is USB, so almost no driver hassling needed.
- Build quality is not excellent, but good enough.
- Useful if your ears are not that exigent.
Cons: - Output quality is very noisy and really bad.
- Really not good if you are going to listen to good quality music with your headphones.
Bottomline: Although the price is very low, I personally would prefer to pay some more and have a cleaner sound coming out of my headphones. If you pass time listening to music, this one is definably not for you. Buy a better one.
My plans was to use several of these USB sound boards in order to make a multi-channel recording. Couldn't try that out yet, though.
Really better than I Expected

Pros: Three good points:
- It is really Cheap
- Sound quality is completelly acceptible
- I have it for 3 months and stil works
Cons: The Plastic quality could be better!
You need to care about plugs (to make it last)
Nothing else!...
Other Thoughts: I use it becouse I need two non-dependent audio out lines...
Using it, I'm Able to listen a diferent music in my earphones and play the choosen ones in the main out. (turns my notebook into something like a DJ thing)...
Bottomline: If you need a easy oudio out... Jut Buy It!
It works.

Pros: It works. I'm using it on an asus wireless router with openWRT. It fired right up, with very little coaxing (had to change the bitrate that mpd was using, but it wasn't bad)
Cons: Sound quality is pretty bad. Good enough for me to listen to much, but be careful if you're on the more picky side.
Other Thoughts: It's cheap, and it works. I would like to compare it to more expensive units, but that would mean that I would have to buy those.
Bottomline: That's all I have to say. If you need something like this, and are not an intense audiophile, it's pretty plug-and-play.
Useless..

Pros: - It's small
- No drivers needed for Vista
- Also works in my Linux install without playing around with ALSA..
Cons: - Sound quality is really crappy
- Build quality isn't that great, the output is already broken after a month..
Other Thoughts: The sound quality _SUCKS_. It sounds really crappy. But hey, this thing only costs 3 bucks.. One of the outputs on this thing is already broken here and is giving only audio out of the left channel..
Bottomline: I wouldn't buy it, the sound quality is horrible and the build quality isn't that great either..
