This sounds a lot better than it really should at this price and is certainly a great deal better than the built in Raspberry Pi audio out. The audio volume output on a Raspberry Pi is really low and even with my amplified speakers set to maximum for many things it was still too quiet. This device fixes that problem with adequate volume being produced with the speaker volume set to half way on the volume control. Additionally, somewhat to my surprise, using this USB audio out device has also improved the rendering of 1080 video, fixing a lot of the choppy playback problems for some content. I can only assume that having an external DAC takes some of the load off the PI CPU which can then be used to improve the video playback. On the down side the build quality doesn't look great and, as has been said by others, the red power light is intrusively bright. Neither of these is a problem for me as the Pi is used in a cupboard, out of sight. Overall, at this price, it is a great buy. Read full review

Well, this did not work for me. All you get is a lot of hiss when you plug in a microphone. The earphone side of it works ok, but that's not why I wanted it... Maybe I bought the wrong thing for my purpose, which is to record on my laptop which does not have a mic input socket.

It’s a plug and play device but windows loads a generic driver which does not work. Have to go into Device Manager select PnP sound device in sound section then click on uninstall leaving the device in the USB port. Go to the top of Device Manager screen and click the icon which looks like a monitor (directly under “help”) and is for scan for hardware changes. When complete the generic driver will be replaced or deactivated and the device in my case worked properly

This is a really handy little gadget. I bought a headset with a separate nic and audio jack's, not realising that my computer didn't have both. This is a perfect solution to the problem. It's easy to use, has built-in volume and mute controls, and works very well. It does feel a little cheap and rattly, but considering the price, I can't complain.

Works well, compatible with Windows 10 - the led is very bright through the white case, so take that into consideration if you're using it for videos or at night. Otherwise, a great product.
