Just a regular little USB sound card that snaps into your USB port, it’ll hook you up with instant 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound connectivity, as well as all kinds of outputs to connect your computer or laptop to a bunch of different audio devices (like surround-sound headphones or portable speakers). Built-in stereo mics and a 10 Band EQ are also included, all for just $80. Oh, and looks like if you place your order before February 8th, you’ll get a free 5.1 folding headphone worth $40."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/TurtleBeach_Roadie_USB_Audio_Adapter.jpg" /><br /><br />While I like the concept, I personally prefer a clutter free desk and having this on my already over-used USB hab (which would be another problem) would simply add to the clutter. But as I read about this more, they are clearly not targetting the desktop user market, instead are trying to appeal to laptop users. So those of you that have invested in desktop replacement laptops, this device might be just right for you.
