If you use your rig to listen to music then there is a good chance you won’t be happy with the onboard sound from the motherboard. ASUS have released the STX II and STX II 7.1 to build on the huge success they experienced from the earlier Essence STX solution. Today we review their follow up sound card and headphone amplifier – the Essence STX II 7.1 Sound card.

I spend the larger part of last Sunday at a beach roughly 90km away and to my surprise after one hour of me being there i noticed several people (not many but way more than last year or the year before) carrying portable Bluetooth speakers with them which they seemed to put to good use later on (not very loud models but enough to sufficiently cover a small area). Weirdly enough however most of those speakers were not rugged so I’m still having a hard time figuring out why one would risk damaging a speaker just by bringing it to the rather "harsh" conditions of the beach. Normally i wouldn't be thinking about something like that for so long since it's not really important but it so happened that at the same time i was also testing the latest flagship rugged portable wireless speaker by Jabra the Solemate Max so i guess that a small comparison was inevitable.

For some time, we’ve shared our underwhelming experiences with sound cards and headsets with integrated audio processors that featured virtual surround sound. Positional audio is a desirable and much wanted feature gamers want, but obtaining a set of 5.1 or 7.1 speakers may be neither reasonably priced nor practical for some people. Unfortunately for headphone users, it is an unattainable challenge to recreate the sound of six or eight speakers on just two speakers. However, some implementations are better than others and we listened to the few audio recordings on the internet that gave us the opportunity to listen to those implementations we previously were not able to experience. We got our hands on the Creative Sound Blaster Z and Zx Sound Cards and thoroughly explored their capabilities!

Mit dem NH-D14 stellte Noctua im 2009 einen neuen Tower-Kühler vor, welcher sich auf Anhieb ganz oben in den Charts platzieren konnte. Ende des letzten Jahres folgte auch im Top-Flow-Segment ein neuer Kühler, welcher den altgedienten NH-C12P ablöste. Mit zwei 140-mm-Lüftern soll der Kühler an die Erfolgsgeschichte der Kühler aus eigenem Hause anknüpfen und bietet zudem auch noch die Möglichkeit sich zwischen drei verschiedenen "Betriebs-Modi" zu entscheiden. Etwas verspätet, aber dafür mit einem umfangreichen Testparcour sowohl mit 120-, als auch mit 140-mm-Lüftern, präsentieren wir euch nun unser Review des Noctua NH-C14. Wie sich dieser schlägt, erfahrt ihr auf den folgenden Seiten.

Antec has dominated the computer chassis market for more than a decade, and with many of their customers slowly converting to portable platforms it makes good business sense to diversify the product portfolio. Enter soundscience, a subsidiary of Antec, that is dedicated to audiophile-level products for use on multiple platforms. The soundscience rockus 2.1 speaker system features 3Dsst sound technology, which makes use of 3D-audio optimized solid aluminum satellite drivers and an active subwoofer with passive radiator to create an extended low frequency response. In this article, Benchmark Reviews tests the Antec SoundScience Rockus 3D speaker system against the Logitech Speaker System Z623 and see how well it works for gaming consoles.

Speakers are typically one of the most ignored pieces of equipment. To the average user the 2.1 system they got for $20 after rebate is good enough but until once you’ve heard the different you’re going to want the rockus! This 2.1 system is not like any another. Drawing 150W in total, you’ll be amazed what the rockus can do.

Speakers are a nearly necessary peripheral for your computer, but lots of users for various reasons spend quite a fair bit of money on such systems. We have found that either users buy a fairly cheap pair of speakers (or similar 2.1 system) or they splash out a decent amount of money and buy a full surround 5.1 system. We do as such wonder if there is a market for the more expensive 2.1 speaker systems. When most users think of speakers, we expect they will think of Logitech, or at the very least Creative. Certainly, Antec will be a surprise to most.

Was das Sprichwort "Der Ton macht die Musik" früher ausschließlich auf zwischenmenschliche Kommunikation bezog, lässt sich heute längst auch auf die Musikwiedergabe übertragen. In Zeiten von Smartphones, Notebooks und anderen mobilen Geräten kommt der gute Ton bei der Musik häufig viel zu kurz. Ein Grund mehr, für die eigenen vier Wände ein dediziertes Gerät zur adäquaten Wiedergabe von Musik, Filmen und Spielen anzuschaffen.

The Behringer Guitar Link is positioned to be an inexpensive recording solution for guitar, but can be used for bass and microphone as well.

Today we had a nice surprise waiting on our doorstep, the GX Gaming Series SW-G2.1 3000 gaming speaker system. This 4-piece gaming speaker system sports a heavy-duty subwoofer with a 6.5 inch driver for delivering, hopefully, wall rattling bass, two satellite speakers boasting a 3-inch driver to help give vivid and vibrant mid and high frequency sounds and a designated control box with easily adjustable audio controls. The 3000 GX has a black/gold color theme on it to help the aesthetic value of the speakers while they sit on and around your desk.
