Gainward Music2Go USB soundpuck
& SoundXPlosion 5.1 surround sound headphones

Best on-line price for the Music2Go product

I find some degree of irony in the fact that I have only two ears and just reviewed a couple of multi-channel products sent to us from Gainward. Gainward, as we all know, is most famous for making their "Golden Sample" series of video cards. But now it seems Gainward has broadened its product line to include products not aimed at gamers.  Shocking, but true.

 

The good news here is that they're kinda cool.

 

The first product is the Music2Go, a 7.1 channel USB sound… uh… puck.

 

It looks like a hockey puck anyway. It is, as the name would imply, an external USB powered sound... uh… soundpuck for laptop users, or those looking to fill unused USB ports.

 

The second bit of kit that Gainward sent us is not a video card, yet still aimed at the gamer. Meet the 5.1 channel SoundXplosion. I'll admit that I'm suspicious about surround-sound headphones. But, I'll also have to admit, surround headphones may be something we didn't know we needed. Especially to gamers with neighbors, or those who frequent LAN parties.

 

 

Supposedly, the two products make a great match for each other.

 

Let's take a look at the Music2Go first.

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.

Gainward Ultra 760 XP Golden review
Armed with a RED PCB, kick'ass cooling and ramsinks Gainward tried to get your attention. That's not it though, the product is fully VIVO (Video In and Video Out) which means you can playback and record media files. Also included into the package is a FireWire card to connect your DV camera or any other FireWire device and the software to start editing movies at consumer level. All-in-all an impressive package for a mid-end product. The GPU is of course a capable of utilizing DirectX9 (although poor performance) Pixel Shaders 2.0+, Vertex Shader 2.0+ and OpenGL. Basically this product is in the mid-end range and offers with it's cut-down 4 pixel pipeline (four single textured pixels, or two dual textured pixels) value for your money.
