Better than expected

by David star star star star star

I bought this as I was hearing some coil whine through my headphones from my graphics card. I wasn't really expecting it to make much difference to the onboard sound I have. It really does! You can hear much more and alot more noise direction in games etc. Set-up was super easy and the software is a great addition. I would definitely recommend.
