So, the Queen Bee of Creative Labs, Susie Haynes, e-mails me:

We have a cool new product that I want to get in your hands called the Sound Blaster X-Fi Go! This is a 1GB USB memory stick that features our X-Fi audio technology. All you have to do is plug Sound Blaster X-Fi Go! into an open USB port on a notebook or PC and it will enhance all of your music, movie and game audio with no driver installation necessary.

There, I couldn't have said it better myself. Having tested it, I can verifty that's all true and when you've got your stereo headphones plugged in it's almost like having multichannel surround sound. For gamers, the EAX effects produce realistic 3D environmental sounds that make your games scary realistic. (Note: Only for PCs at this point.)

By restoring detail to compressed music (like iTunes or Internet radio) with the X-Fi technology, your audio sounds fuller and more vibrant. $49.99 at Creative Labs. Tell 'em Susie sent you.
