Pros

The e1 does exactly as advertised and is simple to use. Great and versatile product. I would buy it again if the need arises.

Built in microphone that functions on pc in discord/in game chat as well as on my xbox one console. I always use push to talk on pc but for console it leaves your mic open all the time.

Footstep is a great way to test audio quality in a pc. The software isn't just bloatware. It's great for playing apex legends.

Nfc pairing is easy thanks to built-in nfc. Nice and portable, charge lasts quite sometime.



Cons

When used as an analog amplifier to make phone calls louder, the volume gain isn't that great - only a bit louder than no amp at all. Also, the mic/headphone jack is one or the other - set in software in usb mode - it can't accommodate a headset or ea...  Read More

The software package it comes with is messy and it didnt work out of the box after software installation. They sell this device for android and iphones but the sb app can only control e5. The updated driver listed on cl's website is either incorrect o...  Read More

Neutron music player has a builtin and very flexible eq but its almost useless because of the distortion

If youre just starting to get into higher end headphones and need a mid ohm amp i cant see much competition at this price

    The same day i noticed that issue the port to plug in my headphones refused to produce sound and it broke


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    You have to be quite close to it for it to pick up well but its not as atrocious as i wouldve considered a tiny microphone shoved into a dacamp would be


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Its matte plastic on plastic contact so it feels somewhat scratchy i cant help but feel buttons would have been better suited here as the slider basically limits control to full volume mid volume and muted


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The included aux cable is very thin its not overly long which is great for portability but some staticdistortion can come through if you have it near a lot of electronics as with any poorly insulated cable


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Along with that occasionally movement will cause a scratchy sound to come through its very minor but i can see it degrading with time if it does ill update this


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Its on the backside of the amp though so its not the end of the world


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    This works i notice the difference when it is disconnected


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    This little guy is decent but id think twice at this pricepoint unless youre specifically buying it as a portable headphone amp or specifically want a small easy to use usb soundcard with a nongeneric asio driver and integrated mic
