Review: Terrifiic Product, True Owner, No Marketing Ploy! - How do I put how satisfied I am with this product into words? I really can't. This little stick is just THAT good. Let me go into detail all the little ways this device has impressed me. I like to watch rock videos and watch drum videos from time to time on Youtube, which isn't very known for audiophile sound. Now, I had bought some $200 pair of headphones and tired all sorts of software options prior to obtaining this product. Let me tell those interested in the product, the sound quality BLEW ME AWAY! Sounds I never thought I could hear were in PERFECT clarity and enhanced to the point that I was shocked. Highs were more crisp, low sounds suddenly came better into focus, and I just for hours surfed the web for videos to test this product out. Impressed me every time. The interface is simple and easy to use. The product offers different features such as putting a sound source into places like a concert hall or amphitheater. The product also includes a graphical EQ that can be enhanced to change the sound makeup. Trust me, compared to what I have used before, you would only need to adjust a small bit as this product is super sensitive to adjustments. The product also contains features like bass and treble enhancers that really bring out the clarity of audio like never before. Simply put, this thing makes a pair of $30 value speakers into something more expensive sounding. :Let me put this into perspective, you will want to keep the volume low, its enhanced to the point that one would actually distort sound if they cranked the volume up. Being a gamer, I would HIGHLY recommend this product to anyone who wants a solution to gaming as this is a 7.1 surround sound product that delivers. I watched several Let's Play videos of several games where the sound could be pinpointed. I even closed my eyes to see if I can find where things were by sound. My test was passed with flying colors. For around 40 bucks, you can't go wrong with this. I am surprised that I got this kind of quality in this price range. High recommendations from my end. Review: good simple product for the price A++ - Some info you might find helpful: I use it to sing karaoke online through my laptop. It has a good reverb separately for microphone (micFX), and several reverbs that are equally useful for music/wave audio-(EAX). I use it every day to sing and play my guitar, or sing off karaoke videos online, or saved karaoke songs in my laptop. Pretty cheap and good quality for a portable usb sound card. I can plug it into any computer with a usb to use. It is more convenient than an internal sound card. I no longer use an internal sound card or have a desktop. I choose it for convenient to just be able to plug into my laptop and sing right away. I broke 3 or maybe 4 now through my own fault for standing up while the headphone is still plugged into the usb sound card which kept on getting bent until it starts to lose sound, crack, or not function as it should anymore. I bought roughly ten of these used and new on desertcart, and they all worked great. They stopped working because I kept standing up and break them. I still bought more. That's how much I like/find useful/convenient with these sound cards. I'm on my 4th one now within the last four years. I sing and play guitar for more than 6 hours almost everyday, more on the weekends or days off. I gave the extra cards to friends to help them get started, and I plan to buy more. As far as I know, there're only 2 or 3 creative sound cards that have micFX(reverb/echo for microphone). This usb being one. I don't think the others are available anymore, For me the micFX is a must when I'm singing. It gives some reverb to vocal. MicFX to me is the most important reason to buy this sound card. The other is that it's convenient, and cheappp...heeh. I do not want to plug in my $500 mackie or Health Allen mixer just to sing when I can simply use this and start singing right off. I can go on, but to me this has been the most useful sound card. I can focus on my music more. I hope the info helps, have fun! ## Features - Small and power packed with SBX Pro Studio, delivering the fullest audio experience for music, movies and games - SBX Pro Studio Surround expands the music away from your headphones, giving an exhilarating experience of being in a concert - Small enough to fit into your pocket and experience on the go - Creative Silencer removes ambient noise to make your voice clearer to the other party (Creative dual-microphone headset required for use of this feature) - Easy to use, simply plug in for the Sound Blaster experience ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0044DEDC0 | | Audio Output Mode | 2.1 | | Brand | Creative | | Built-In Media | Sound Blaster X-Fi Go!

Pro USB Audio System with SBX SB1290 - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Uz8YKljmL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: does it work on mac** A: Yes and No. It works on my macbook pro, and with surprisingly good fidelity, but only records in mono. There may be a solution for this, but in the 2 short days since I have owned it, I have not found one. **Q: Does this work with debian linux and/or raspberry pi?** A: It does work on a QNAP NAS which is running Linux. I'm not very familiar with either you are describing; however, it works with Linux OS on some QNAP NAS boxes. It works more than just windows OS for sure. **Q: Will usb soundcards like this disable laptop speakers when in use? I've damaged my normal headphone jack on my laptop so the headphones do not cut out the laptops speakers when plugged in now.** A: Yes when you have the X-Fi connected the speakers are disabled. The X-Fi becomes the input for Mic and the only output for audio of headphones or external speakers. **Q: Are there android drivers available? does it work through a usb-c port with an adapter?** A: Your mileage may differ, but I put an USB-C adapter on my phone and it works beautifully with my Motorola X4. Only tried the DAC to listen to music, did not try the microphone input. Am running the latest edition of Android because my carrier is Google Fi. Phone cannot play FLAC files, but my MP3 files run at 320 bps and sound excellent. Likewise streaming music also sounds better but only if you have headphones that enable you to discern the difference. Like a chain, an audio system is only as clear as its weakest link. This link is solid. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Terrifiic Product, True Owner, No Marketing Ploy! *by K***S on September 2, 2015* How do I put how satisfied I am with this product into words?

I originally bought it for use with a QNAP NAS - it was plugged into the NAS, and then into some speakers in my man cave, for listening to music (via a webpage running on the NAS as a service), without having to have an extra piece of hardware. And for that purpose, it worked fantastic. Fast forward to 2018 and this has been in a box for the past 3 years or so (the NAS is still in use, but I don't listen to music very often these days). And I'm in need of an alternate audio output for my Nintendo Switch while docked. My Switch is on firmware 6.1.0, and the headphone jack on the Switch works just fine, even while docked. But I remembered I had this, so I dragged it out and plugged it into one of the USB ports on the dock, and lo and behold, it works! While plugged in, the volume buttons on top of the Switch control the output volume. I haven't tried the mic input yet, but it worked with both headphones and into an amp (though the little headphone/speaker slide switch on the side appears to have no effect). My Verdict: This is a good solid audio output option for use with the Switch. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/1211987-creative-sound-blaster-x-fi-go-pro-usb-audio-system](https://www.desertcart.be/products/1211987-creative-sound-blaster-x-fi-go-pro-usb-audio-system) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-05-24*
