SoundBlaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum: Solid performer for games, decent for studio recording

by   Gr8ful ,  Apr 8, 2005
Pros: Excellent gaming and DVD sound quality
Cons: 24bit process does not work with some third party applications.
The Bottom Line: The bottom line recommends reading the entire article :-)
Review: This was the last replacement for my computer from the massive power surge that destroyed my motherboard and several other components. I had planned on writing reviews on these items in the order that I received them, but I still can not find my ...

Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Platinum: Best sound capabilities in it’s class

by   Gr8ful ,  Apr 12, 2004
Pros: Front panel access, firewire and high definition sound with 6.1 capability.
Cons: Expensive. Takes some knowledge to install/troubleshoot.
The Bottom Line: I recommend this card to any gamer, audiophile or techo-junkie. If you’re not comfortable installing peripherals you may want to have it installed by a qualified tech.
Review: This past fall I was recording at a friends house using my old Sound Blaster Live! Platinum when I made the fateful mistake of using substandard adapters and one of them broke off into the microphone jack on the card itself. This was just the excuse I ...

A better soundcard won't be made until the Red Sox win the world series.

by   zoogelsnof ,  Feb 22, 2004
Pros: Sounds amazing, can do anything, is perfect in every way.
Cons: Difficult to install.
The Bottom Line: If you want a high quality sound card, there is simply no alternative.
Review: Forgive me in advance for the length of this review, but the number of features this soundcard has is truly sick (but, like, sick meant in the good way, not like, in the cold/flu season way.) Why? For the last 5 years I’ve been using a ...

High Quality Sound from the Leader in Sound Cards

by   express15_99 ,  Mar 29, 2004
Pros: An excellent bundle for the money; Sound quality is second to none.
Cons: Pricey for the low-end user; MediaSource software a bit buggy.
The Bottom Line: Look past the $170 entrance fee and you'll easily see why this card is as good as it gets. Skip the look-a-likes and go for the real thing.
Review: This is the third sound “device” that I’ve been through after all my years with PC gaming and usage (one was onboard sound so I don’t know where you would categorize that), and I have to say that I am very pleased with the latest product ...

The Bottom Line: This is an absolutely excellent product, is easy to use, and comes with a great software package. With such wonderful sound, it definitely gives the best bang for the buck.
Review: I purchased the Audigy 2 Platinum as a replacement for the onboard audio chipset I had been usi ...

Never Thought My Computer Could Sound So Good

by   twobases ,  Mar 5, 2004
Pros: Excellent Surround Sound, Lots of Connectivity, Powerful Software
Cons: price is high compared to most soundcards
The Bottom Line: Although the price is high for a soundcard, relatively speaking it doesn't cost all that much. Why not indulge yourself and get the ultimate sound for your computer?
Review: "The Creative Labs Audigy 2 ZS Pro Platinum" is pretty much the best soundcard you can get. It has an amazing number of features, top notch sound with surround sound capability, and lots of connectivity options. This model does carry a hefty price, but ...

Top notch sound card!

by   chaosblizzard ,  Dec 11, 2004
Pros: Very high quality sound, 24 bit sound, lots of plugs for add-ons
Cons: Poorly written software
Review: This sound card is by far the best I have ever had. It throws off such realistic sound. I am currently using it with a pair of 5.1 Zalman Headphones. The unit comes complete with a nifty control unit that fits into any standard 5.25" bay. You can ...

Excellent soundcard. Nice features.

by   bleckmaster ,  Mar 12, 2006
Pros: Great features for music and games
Cons: Hard to install on computers with Integrated Audio.
Review: The Creative Soundblaster Audigy 2 Platinum came with my computer so I don't know how easy it is to install, however I have installed other Creative soundcards and as long as you don't have Integrated Audio (motherboard) it's pretty easy. The features ...

Great sound card

by   carlson03 ,  Apr 15, 2006
Pros: Great digital sound, surround sound is crisp and clear
Cons: Kinda expensive
Review: This sound card is the best one that I have ever owned. Its a little pricey, but if you can get a good deal on it, buy it. The front panel makes it convenient when hooking up audio devices. Makes my computer and digital speakers a wonderful guitar ...

Great Quality

by   julian_stein ,  Jul 12, 2004
Pros: Low distortion, Great overall quality
Cons: Timely install could bug some, High Cost
The Bottom Line: Great card if you love watching dvd or just want good overall quality
Review: I bought this card not for all the inputs although they are really nice. I bought it for quality and that’s what I got with it. Installing the card went well at first, the instructions are very clear, it can take a while but if you follow them I’m ...
