does this worth 90$, and what so special about it?

It causes blue screens of death, the software is completely filled with bugs.. However the sound quality is top notch. You gotta make that choice on your own.

I use it for music, vinyl to cd (Sound Forge)...very versatile...great sound...only complaint I have is digital optical output is same as aux./mic. in-can be a problem monitoring but is not major. Replaced Sound Blaster @#$%!& %. Drives Klipsch 5.1 desktop system on a VAIO as line out or PCM signals...I do not use the onboard 5/7 jacks. Great card...Fair price...I hope mine lives a long time...Manual is very brief

Its worth 90 bucks. Yes What makes it special for me, 1-PCI connection (Great for older computers, Mine is 2002 Dell)2-Very clean and full sound. (I use it flat, no tone or other settings.I wish the plugins were color coded, but once setup. I don't mess with them. The card does have plenty to play with as far as settings.Hope that helps,Lp20

Definitely worth it It uses the same sound chip that is used by the HT Omega Claro (a $175 sound card recognized as one of the best); I have both the Omega and the Xonar in my household, and it's impossible to tell the difference in clarity between the two. But I will tell you that I would take the Xonar over the Omega anytime simply for its full EAX support and compatibility with games ... after hearing mine my oldest daughter actually replaced her Omega card with this one last year, and couldn't be happier. As for drivers, I do not use the official Asus drivers (I use the community made Unixonar package, which looks identical on the surface but fixes a number of driver issues that have not as yet been fixed by Asus). Note that whichever driver set you use, avoid fiddling with any of the DSP modes in the control panel, and you'll be fine--I have found that accidentally leaving the wrong one activated will sometimes crash some games.

If you are trying top play games it will only work with some games but for movies and music it is great!

This is just for the Flight Case. What's being shown is just so you can get a general idea of what it can hold. If you are interested you can get them but Technics TTs (what's being shown) average around $700 per, Pioneer DJ Mixers average around $400+, Rane SL (the box) is $500 and a good laptop is around $700 or less maybe.

Yes, it is not brilliant by any means, but is certainly value for money. Remember screen is small, so display not vivid.

Tough question to answer as everyone ears are different !!! One has to try it to know whether one likes it or not. But for 100$, can't complain.

You are absolutely right about the price. I never paid $41.00. The last time I bought it it was around $21.00 - My feeling is at the $41.00 price I wouldn't buy it either - However, as far as quality goes, I still feel they are the best I have used so far. That doesn't mean there isn't better, just that I haven't found it yet.

Amazon is not asking $900 for this product. One seller is asking that price, and my guess is that this is a product that's been listed for awhile by someone with the kind of algorithm that once created a book about flies that was being sold for $23,698,655.93. I can tell you what I paid for this very same machine (like new, minus accessories): $7 at a local non-profit store. So, there you go: the price is somewhere between $7 and $900. ;) For a real answer: since it's not a "new" model, I assume, it's probably worth what someone is willing to pay for it on eBay.

I got mine used' so Honestly it's logitech that has it priced so high they know people still refer to it as one of the best gaming mice for it's durability. Other sellers will put it up for around the same price as well. I'm okay with it so far it feels "not bad" in the hand is pretty responsive and is durable. but same as you I only spent around 30$ for a used model try shoping around a bit. As for a high performance model? No it's all the same hardware it's only people know what buyers have spent on it recently so why not jack up the price?... Bastards :(

Not sure. Probably yes, but most likely decent means different things to me than it does to you. It seems to me that better options are available for gaming at this price point. I'm not a gamer, only a guess. YMMV

I don't believe it is. I strongly recommend you skip this one even if it is. It is so bad it dropped over 100 usd after I purchased and reviewed it. Purchase a better maybe more expensive model

I just bought it at digitalelectronics4less.com for $180. I'm confused since it is listed for about $260 everywhere else (and sometimes much more!)...but it appears to be new and have all accessories. Score!

it is 99.90. I think you may be looking at different prices from different sellers. Thanks

Since you didn't specify price, I'm not sure what you're blathering on about. It is presently $58 (I got it a few days ago for $55), which is less than the average of .10 a piece.

I don't know about the first question, but the sound is fantastic, it's lighting is very good (depending on how bright you want it to be, because it's adjustable) and the gaming is really fantastic. It runs beautifully and the fps on it is just great!

Austin, for me and simply, yes, it is worth more than $70. I am not a gamer, however, and just an old music fan and especially the multi channel sounds available with 5.1 or higher outputs. I have my 'sound room' (AKA our TV room) set to 5.1 but with about 20 different speakers in different locations around the room. In no instance can I replicate the output I receive from the Logitech G430. It captures every sound I normally hear and on certain playback sounds I have never heard before. If I were buying a headset for gaming I would attempt to find a cordless one first with no strong need for the G430 type of output. But, as I said I am not a gamer and I can see where a 7.1 output could be fantastic. At times the headset is well worth far more than $70 and if I had the same set in a cordless version I would be delighted if it works as well. Additionally, I have several sets of cheap headphones and one set that cost over $100. Not one of them matches the quality and performance of the G430. I hope my reply added a different dimension to your investigation and if you decide on this set I think you will get the same level of entertainment as I have. Good question and sorry for the bloviation, John

The list price is $90. This model has been discontinued so this is great price.

Thanks for the info. The VSX-9040 is only $6 more. Let us know how you like it if you get it. I haven't decided yet.

I looked this up prior to buying it - 45000. Pull the trigger on it - you won't regret it.
