You'd be better off with a cheaper plug-in card that can offload processing to a dedicated surround amp via S/PDIF, or if you use headphones, something with a built-in amp.įor what it is, and the price it is, though, the Go! X-Fi is a worthwhile investment for gamers who want an aural environment that's richer than the flat, bland or artificial effects that come with built-in sound. Without a digital out, it's no real improvement for hooking up your laptop to an external hi-fi either. The THX suite adds in a handy equaliser for tuning music and the 'Crystaliser', which is a one-touch way of brightening up compressed audio, but it's not exactly 'pro' spec. If you're not a gamer, though, there's not a lot of benefit in owning the Go! Pro. It's also incredibly portable, and the fact the USB cover is attached to the main body, so you can't lose it, is a thoughtful touch. Compared to the USB soundcard built into the Corsair HS1 headset or included with the Sennheiser PC 333Ds, for example, the sound effects from the X-Fi Go! Pro are clear, accurate and realistic where others just sound like extra reverb added on. ![]()
