"Success is in the details and details have always given me an edge over the competition during my professional gaming career. Hard work, practice, planning and the best hardware available represent some of those details, but audio quality is a critical factor overlooked by many. I've always used Sound Blaster products and recommend them to any gamer who wants a key advantage versus their opponents."

"Overall, the Recon 3D Fatal1ty changed my view on sound. I can hear people sneaking up on me in first person shooters and immerse myself in the battle music of SWTOR." |

"The Surround and Crystalizer tools return, which are excellent at simulating a 360-degree sonic environment and filling in frequencies often lost during file compression. THX TruStudio Pro Smart Volume is largely a normalization tool for avoiding excessively loud or quiet content. People who struggle to make out dialog against background noise (doubly troublesome if you lack a center channel) will appreciate the Dialog Plus enhancements, and TruStudio Pro Bass fills in more bass range material, although we're not sure how this differs from the bass enhancement in Crystallizer." |
