Reviews

5.0 Amazing! The sound I've never expected from my laptop
Briefly, amazing sound! I've never expected that my notebook(thinkpad T30 with Sennheiser PX 100 Headphones) can generate this quality sound by changing sound cards. Although I'm not a audiophile, I can easily find some significant change in the sound quality. In some way, I feel the sound quality is even better than that from my portable MP3 player (probably due to headphone amp in the Echo INDIGO... ). Anyway, This product is for somebody who wants to listen to music rather than play game since the sound quality is too good. I tried Creative Sound Blaster audigy 2zs (PCMCIA) and it was a tatally disappointing experience. If somebody want to listen to music rather than play game I believe purchaing ECHO INDIGO is a much smarter choice as long as you don't have 5.1 or 7.1 speakers (Frankly, since I've never experienced 5.1 or 7.1 speakers I cannot make sure it improves sound quality a lot...) I'm waiting for GRADO SR-80 headphones and I hope it can improve the sound quality even better...
