 Great Sound, Horrible Quality and Support December 31, 2008
Dane Watson (Dallas, TX USA)
First off, when this card is working correctly (which seems to be a very rare occurance), it sounds great. The sounds come through clearly and with good definition. The software that runs it also seems like it would be good, that is if it ever worked. It even lights up with the company's logo on the side.
Since I first bought one of these about six months ago, I have had to replace it through razer's warranty program three times. The first time, the card just shorted out one day and sat dead in my computer for no aparent reason. But ok, sometimes you just have a single bad experience. Nope. With my second card, it worked well for a couple of weeks until it simply stopped producing sound. On to card three. This one worked for the longest time, but finally after a run of about 4 months, it started blaring a horrible crunching/popping sound through any speaker hooked up to it, regaurdless of whether of not the computer is muted.
Throughout all of this, Razer has had little or no advice at all to offer besides "go to our warranty page". The whole experience has been really frustrating. I really wanted to like this card, but in the end it was just not worth it at all.
And with the matching HP-1 headphones, I had a similiar, if not worse experience.
I have ditched both of these things, and I definitely do not recommend either one.
 WOW!!! October 9, 2008

Ok, I was using integrated sound with a 2.1 speaker setup. Mostly I play games with headphone so my wife does not kill me. I am using my plain headphones with this card and play Lotro and CoD4... The sound is outstanding. I hear everything out there. Little footsteps I did not know the game was making. Dear walking behind me. No body sneaks up on me any more. Its wonderful.
 Another Example of Razer's Poor Quality October 2, 2008

After a buggy Razer Diamondback mouse and 2 pairs of broken Razer surround headphones, I should have known better than to buy this garbage. If Razer put half as much money into QA as they do into marketing, they might last more than just another couple of years.

I have 3 razer products including this and they all blow me away. The sound card is amazing yet unless you have speakers that have individual inputs then they might not give you the performance your looking for.
