Creative Sound BlasterX AE-5 Plus in long-term test – Strong Sound plus an upgrade with Dolby Digital Live and DTS

The classic soundcard is dead, long live the classic soundcard? Somehow it is and I would like to explain it again with a longer self-experiment. I myself criticize the headphone outputs of the onboard sound solutions often enough and am always glad when motherboard manufacturers have followed the suggestions of customers and editors and improved [...]


Practice test: Nubert NUBOX A-125 as a space-saving replacement for the Klipsch R-15PM in the near field and a lot of fun playing

Smaller, lighter, cheaper and still better in many areas? Names are sound and smoke, at least for some vendors who, with cheaper product lines, only eat from the glory of days gone by. Klipsch's active boxes are by no means a bad cheap drop, but both the louse quality of the folding and the boards, as well as the annoying background noise [...]


Antlion ModMic Wireless in the test – the best thing that makes a headphone a headset. But also with the most expensive

The fact that I generally prefer to play with very good stereo head listening rather than 7.1 gaming headsets is neither a secret nor somehow decadent. Resolution and location are simply better. But it doesn't always work without a microphone. Yes and then? Most of the headphones in my collection are wired and the one used here in the test [...]

Havit Bilateral True Wireless Headset under review

As mentioned in my review of the 1More Bluetooth speaker, I'm quite an audio snob. For me, the sound really has to be right, which is why I met this very cheap Bluetooth headset with skepticism at first. Skeptical, but without prejudice. The Havit True Wireless Headset is a Bluetooth InEar headphones with built-in and is available on the [...]


1More Portable Bluetooth Speaker – A cheap entry into the middle class?

Before I held the Bluetooth speaker in my hands, I was frankly a little skeptical about the product. There were two reasons for this: Firstly, I am quite an audio snob, I like to listen to music, but then it should also be a good sound quality. On the other hand, I haven't found a Bluetooth speaker that meets my requirements. And for the [...]


1More Quad Driver review – In-ears that are simply fun | igorsLAB

I honestly admit it, because I didn't want to test the Quad Driver from 1More (model E1010) out of misunderstood objectivity. Because I have had a rather divided relationship with In-Ears for years, which could not really rip me off the stool either ton or ergonomically. Even though we as a family have so many privately owned in-ears [...]


Sennheiser GSP 600 Stereo Gaming Headset in Test – Lots of Light and Shine, Drop Shadow Included | Post-test and update

So there are still the really bright moments when testing gaming headsets, where sound and attention to detail mean even more than RGB lighting and the battle for the most affable design, including virtual surround tape. Honest, precise and, unfortunately, also a little more expensive than the average. This is exactly where Sennheiser wanted to [...]


Sharkoon B1 Stereo Headset in review – cheap, cheap or cheap?

The Sharkoon B1 is now already open for less than 40 euros. And if you follow Sharkoon's philosophy that can't break, which isn't even in the first place and that all of this is packed (also visually) acceptable, then you can be curious. It should be clear now that you can't expect an acoustic or technical flyer for this price, but [...]
