Fun, Play, Play - Creative Creative Sound Blaster E5 Unpacking

(······)) Hi, my friends, everyone, do you still remember who I am?

Today is a sound card to the sun, um, not much nonsense, started!

Reasons to purchase

Speaking of old yellow is also an innovator's brain powder, before buying an X-Fi 5.1, this time into E5, so why buy it? Well, it's because it's cheap! Do not believe you see:

The price factor is actually the decisive reason. In addition, the CS4398 DAC chip is used at this price point. (Of course, it cannot be the only chip theory, um, I know.) The configuration is also more conscience. For other reasons, insisting on saying something should be a clear and audible bottom noise that can't stand the sound of music coming out of the phone during the dead of night. Not to mention hearing some of the piano passages. Obviously there was a feeling that the voice was "wrecked."

Appearance Gallery

The front of the fuselage shows CRYSTAL VOICE from top to bottom (it is an innovative voice enhancement technology, including noise reduction, voice change, echo, etc., which can be customized in the control panel.), Sound Blaster trademark, and NFC connection identification ( Since my phone is not full-featured NFC, I haven't used this feature yet.) On the far right is the volume knob.

The left side of the fuselage, the three buttons from top to bottom, respectively, for the power / Bluetooth, SBX sound, gain switch (provides two kinds of high and low gain, for different impedance headphones, generally with L file on it.)

The top of the fuselage has two earphone jacks, you can insert two headphones at the same time (nonsense, single dog's sad ah) The middle volume knob is the stepless knob, you can think how to turn how to turn Oh ~

The bottom of the fuselage, from top to bottom in the figure are: linear / microphone / fiber input, linear / optical output, USB HOST (can be connected to the phone), Micro USB interface (charge or connect a computer)

There is a bracket in the fitting. There are threaded holes at the bottom of the bracket. It is estimated that it can be fixed to what column. I have not understood how to use it.

Other accessories, including a fiber optic cable, two silicone sleeves, can be bundled with the phone (my phone is too long, so I basically bid farewell to the bundled) to knock the blackboard! Although the E5 has a built-in battery and a USB charging cable, it does not have a standard charging plug, so you need to purchase it yourself (in fact, you can use a regular mobile phone plug!)

experience feelings

As an external sound card, the usage of innovative E5 (playing game?) is still quite a lot. It can be used as a computer sound card, or it can be used as a decoding amp.

As a computer sound card: The official website download driver provides a lot of sound customization service. From music, voice chat, to movies, games, etc., include below.

SBX PRO sound settings, in fact, in the innovative game headphone driver also has similar settings page, adjust the surround sound, music enhancement, bass boost, intelligent volume adjustment, enhance vocals and so on.

The Cristal voice page is mainly for the adjustment of the microphone, including volume adjustment, voice change, noise reduction, smart volume adjustment, de-echo, microphone EQ and so on.

The reconnaissance model, which is also designed for games, can help you understand the footsteps of enemies in the game. This feature also appears in innovative game headset drivers.

There are also headphone speaker settings, mixers, equalizers, etc., and the function is generally quite rich. (Although I'm used to listening to songs, I'm not used to any sound enhancement.)

Knocked on the blackboard, WIN7 64 bit, when the E5 is connected to the computer for the first time, the computer may search for the driver by itself and skip it, otherwise it will affect the use (I wonder if it is a case.)

As a mobile phone sound card, there can be multiple connection modes, USB HOST mode, AUX connection mode (pure amp), Bluetooth connection mode, and the like.

The innovation official website provided drivers and audio enhancement management software similar to the computer-end for Android 4.0 and above, but after I tried to find out, the management software was not soft and open was a black screen. (My device is Android 6.0 and the model is Nubian Z11)

Do not forget to install the official website download driver before connecting the phone!

When using the AUX cable to connect the phone to the E5, the E5 will be used as a pure amp, and the sound quality should be slightly lower than the USB mode (mainly looking at the phone).

When using the AUX cable to connect the mobile phone, you need to connect one end to the LINE IN jack on the E5 and the other end to the 3.5mm headphone jack on the phone. (What, your phone does not have a 3.5mm headphone jack?)

When using USB HOST to connect E5 to a mobile phone, the E5 seems to work as a DAC. Its sound quality is slightly better than pure earphones (the sound quality has nothing to do with the phone), but it will take up the phone's Micro USB interface, which may cause the phone to fail to charge.

In addition, I have not yet tested the battery life. The official nominal life is 8 hours, but it may not be possible to achieve it. After all, the battery is only 3200 mA. In addition, it is better to update the firmware after the new machine is bought. Otherwise, only the E5 with a small battery of 3200 mAh will be “generously charging the phone”.

When using bluetooth to connect the phone, you need to press the power button for a few seconds while the power is turned on (press the power button for a few seconds until the white light is on) until the blue and white bi-color light flashes alternately. You can use the phone to pair with the E5. (Of course, you can also use the NFC function. I won't use it. I won't start it.)

In addition, this sound card looks like a function of answering calls, recordings, etc., because I haven't tried it yet and I won't say more.

I don't have much to say in listening. This is a matter of opinion. It's like the first time I listened to BBK + MX360. When I listen to it, I feel very personal. I just like beats (not), you bite. me! Of course, if you are interested in understanding the sound quality and hearing related content, you can also go to several hair search evaluation, or go to the store to audition Oh ~

to sum up

Overall, at the 939 price point, it can be said that the E5 is more worthwhile. It is particularly applicable to non-feverish but slightly shy friends who have a demand for voice, even though the E5 might have such a shortage in the eyes of enthusiasts. However, if you choose it, I also hope that you can be as shocked by the sound as I heard backgammon + MX360.

end

Don't be fooled by this time, let's go straight to welfare. And it's two oh~

Goodbye!
