### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Sound quality though a little pricey
*by A***R on 2 June 2025*

Easy to setup and install the drivers online Default win10 drivers don't work correctly - have to install the drivers from creative website. Once correct drivers and app is installed, the device comes to life. Maybe on the expensive side but the quality is great.
