I'm already many years of Creative sound cards fan what terms. Before that I had the X-Fi Music, which still does not work properly. But because I wanted to have something new, I have decided for this product. There is a PCI-E card, but can also be in a PCI or PCI-E16x E8x slot stuck if no free PCI-E slot should be available. The acoustics are very good. For gamers a strong buy recommendation. Only the Scout mode does not work 100%. Everything sounds very reverberant, but the other modes serve their purpose. Locating the enemy without any problems. Tested in BF 3, BF 4, CS GO, COD MW and more. Together with the Sennheiser G4ME One a true power. For Otto Normal consumption a bit exaggerated, but for a hardcore gamer, Soundfan a strong buy recommendation.
