Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium HD review -
Package and Bundle
Packaging
We are fans of great packaging as at the end of the day we are enthusiasts and we also get excited when we see nice shiny new products all sparkly in their respective packages. The Titanium HDs packaging has been changed in comparison to previous X-Fi packaging.

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!
