The CoolerMaster Musketeer 3

The Musketeer 3 is CoolerMaster's foray into the bygone analog era passed. It puts the tube back into your computer, reviving the retro stereophonic sound. The Musketeer 3 is smooth, classy, and well made, but it also comes with a few flaws.

X-Fi Xtreme Music Sound Blaster review

Creative's entry level X-Fi turns out to be pretty killer. All new hardware, all new software, makes this thing all the better. Gone are the old annoyances of the Audigy series, replaced by the X-Fi, which isn't very annoying at all!

X-Fi Fatality FPS SoundBlaster review

With a product name reminding of Hi Fi which basically means an electronic system for reproducing high-fidelity sound (the reproduction of sound with little or no distortion), creative called their new gem "X-Fi" which is short for eXtreme Fidelity. As you'll find throughout the review, this is mostly true. The new series has some amazing new features and reproduces sound quality at the level you can find in a modern recording studio.

iRIVER H10

After researching the product, going on forums and asking, I finally realized the player out there that did everything an IPod did plus more was none other than iRiver's H10. The H10 sports a 5GB hard disk, a 1.5" color LCD screen, FM tuner/recorder, Picture viewer, as well as a microphone. The player also comes in 4 different colors: "Lounge Grey", "Remix Blue", "Trance Red", and "Triple Platinum". The look of this player in my opinion destroys any competition on the market now, especially the IPod.

Creative Labs Gigaworks S750 7.1 Speakers

So 7.1 surround sound, do we really need to invest in it ? Ehm, no ... But I can tell you it does make a very nice difference over the traditional 5.1 setup for sure. I'll explain all that on this multi purpose speaker set later on when I will talk a little about my game/movie/music experiences in combination with the GigaWorks S750's.

iRiver H320 20GB multi-codec jukebox

The iRiver H320 is a 20GB portable music player. It isn't for everyone, but for those who have a little patients to master it functions, you'll end up loving it. The H320 does so much more than just music, though. You also get the FM tuner, text, and the ability to record from just about any source, from microphone to line-in. The H320 also features a brilliant 2.0" color display to view your JPEG's or BMP. Overall, it's fast and sexy, and definitely different. What more could you want?

In December something big was released by Creative labs. And the fun thing is .. almost all of you missed it didn't you? Really silently Creative Labs pushed forward a new soundcard under the label Audigy 4 You'd expect a big marketing campaign with bells and whistles and preferably gorgeous blonde women jumping up and down with the soundcard ... but that did not happen.

The Gainward Music2Go is a surprisingly good USB soundpuck, and the SoundXPlosion 5.1 surround headphones are better for games and DVD than they are for music.

I-Trigue L3450 2.1 Speakers review

The glossy white and tasty style of I-Trigue L3450 satellite speaker incorporates a Lateral Firing Transducer (LFT), and 2 premium Titanium micro drivers, adding acoustic fidelity beyond ordinary desktop speakers. Combine that with the 30 Watt RMS subwoofer and you're in for some really nice desktop music, this dear Guru's is the I-Trigue L3450, we are reviewing the white version, of course there's a black version available also.

The Mad Dog Multimedia Entertainer 7.1 is an entry level 24 bit/192kHz sound card aimed at HTPC or gamers on an extreme budget. Proving that you get what you pay for, it's the slowest sound card we've tested in 5 very new games.

So you crave the need for Dolby Digital in it's widest form, your problem .. money. DTS, DTS ES, 7.1 Channels game and movie playback it's all so teasing isn't it ? More importantly, it's all so expensive ! Creative Labs however is clever, a speaker for every price range. And for about 120 EUR you can pick up their Creative Inspire t7700 speakers set. Not just 2.1, 4.1 or 5.1 no, we are talking about 7 speakers and a subwoofer .. yes if you look around a bit you'll spot them for 120 EUR.

Hercules DJ Console review

Most of us can't afford expensive mixing and DJ consoles, turntables, and CD-Players that can handle BPM. But we all do have a fast PC and a crapload of MP3's right ? So all you need is a device that controls the PC and MP3's and that's exactly what the Hercules DJ Console does, basically a mix-console with built in soundcard.

Creative Labs I-Trigue 3300 Speakers

It's not our habit to review speaker set's too often. But Creative Labs recently released the I-Trigue 3300 and well .. I was at the least intrigued by this speaker-set. It's not a mumbo jumbo 5.1, or 6.1 channel speaker set or extremely powerful loudspeaker set. No it's a small, high-end yet very stylish looking 2.1 speaker set which consists out of a nice sub-woofer and two very cute looking satellite speakers that our made out of stylish titanium. Each satellite is finished in a decent, die-cast alloy body that houses three high-precision titanium drivers, which should deliver you clarity and more accurate audio delivery than aluminum drivers.
