The Sound Blaster E5 features Bluetooth 4. Digital audio signals are sent from the device directly to the Sound Blaster E5, which decodes them without any degradation in audio quality.
What you get is audio playback at its highest fidelity. Click here for phone models that are compatible with this feature. This portable DAC and headphone amp is an audio powerhouse. Read Full Review. Match it with say an aptX compatible mobile phone you are talking above average quality and something I can happily listen to on the go.
The sound quality that comes out of this diminutive device is outstanding. So going into my E5 testing I expected it to perform better but when I hooked it up I was taken back. My initial testing was using a high quality set of earbuds hooked up to my main PC. If I have four arms, I would have given it not just two thumbs up, but four.
Bass sounded tighter, highs were smoother, and the soundstage was more expansive. I'm going to be straight with you and tell you right now that these were not major improvements, but they were noticeable and did improve my listening experience.
Much more than the stock sound, I think the wide variety of DSP effects will be of value to most people looking into the E5. The E5 is an extremely versatile device and can be used in numerous different applications. For gaming audiophiles, college students, audiophiles on the go, and audiophiles on a budget I would recommend this device without hesitation. The Sound Blaster E5 is all about quality.
It improves your current situation, be it when you are playing a game, recording a video, making a phone call or listening to some music. This amplifier really amps things up.
The Sound Blaster E5 handles digital to analog conversion and amplification nicely. It was able to handle high bitrates kHz and bit data with aplomb. It produced clear mids, crisp vocals and deep low frequencies.
Awesome unit for the price, great sound great connectivity. Powers high impedance headphones with great fidelity. Absolutely over the moon with this, many alternatives cost more than this. Amazing device because it has a portable size and produces outstanding sound when I use it with my Apple iPad 2! My congratulations to your engineers!! Outstanding product very easy to use the sound i amazing and the fact you can use rhe phone for settings is brill love it. This little machine does everything I need it to.
No hassles it does everything ,Love it!! Mobile device's best buddy. Included DaC combo definitely better than your hand phone. I've had my SB E5 for a little over a month and put it to work in several different situations and can honestly say this is an amazing device.
I've been using it with my Bluetooth headphones, with the cord attached. This was counterproductive, as they are BT headphones. I'm now cord-free and have all the great sound the E5 is capable of producing. I've also used my E5 on road trips with the kids to allow them to share the audio from a tablet and watch movies.
No more BT speaker and my wife and I can talk or listen to our own audio in the car. I've also used the E5 while camping to watch movies at night in the tent and the internal battery has provided more than enough power to watch a few movies over a weekend. I was a little hesitant due to the price, but the features and flexibility of this small DAC have proven to be well worth the investment.
Sound-blaster E5 saturates the senses with total satisfaction. I was able manipulate the Control Panel with ease. My perfect music companion!!
Nothing to complain about you defenetly get what you pay for. My only wish would be for longer battery time. But it's totally manageable and with a powerbank the problem goes away. All in all a very good product, well designed, fine too look at. It brings attention if you are the braging type. Got att the functions you need and them some, with the App that goes along with the E5 you for plenty to play with. Even change your voice in phonecalls, can bring som extra joy if you are a prankster!
I'm totally pleased! Thanks for me. Have a lovely one, peace! Very satisfied with the sound quality of this product, awesome! Excellent gadget to enhance your listening experience with several use scenarios. As a in car amp via AUX, and even an enhance phone car mic to car speakers via Bluetooth. Amp on the go. PC Amp. Amp to any speakers via AUX, Optical Out Probably due to the high end internal components, the size is not exactly that pocketable.
Maybe need to be in a bag for on the go moments. This is an excellent product, and I am glad I bought it. There are a few "gotcha's", tho mainly in the software provided. It would be good if the included stand had one side that was coated with the same rubber as the back side of the E5.
With the stand attached on my desk, the E5 slides around too much. When I carry the device to and from work, I use it with an iPhone 6 and Etymotic in-ear headphones.
Connecting the E5 through bluetooth to the phone is always problematic. It seems to take eons for the software to know that it is connected, and semi-frequently the app will close without warning.
Connecting the wired headphones, and the iPhone lightning connector causes one connector to take the brunt of the weight of the device, since the E5 fits better the "long way", or the longer dimension as the upright orientation seems to fit a jacket pocket better. I do like the separation of the functions of the connectors, and it works nicely.
On my Macs, both at work and home, the App for the device seems very 1. It seems unaware for a long time if the micro-usb cable is disturbed, and once it is, the app informs me that since the E5 is no longer connected the app will stop, and then it auto-quits!
This is so very un-Mac like. When I plug in the device to a usb port on the Mac, I think it should auto-start that app, or at least have a preference option to do so.
The "profiles" that were thoughtfully included could be expanded and refined. Some of the default profiles seem WAY over processed, almost like a photo that has been over-airbrushed, and appears somewhat fake. The device has built-in mics, and they could be brought to task in a profile, much like the "Awareness" app on the iPhone by Etymotic.
The microphones could be noise-gated to allow very loud sounds to pass through, with the music "ducked" under. This way a normal subway train noise would be blocked but the conductor making an announcement could be heard over the music or the music paused during the intruding sound.
The same could happen at my desk. I have tried to set this up with the app on my work Mac. But the delay in the mic sound is discomfiting. So then you could make profiles that would improve the quality of the different kinds of media one listens to on a musical device: music, live news broadcasts, podcasts, videos, and even full-length movies.
Or profiles for the different environments you might find yourself in. Subway rider, car passenger, beach-goer, walking on a city street, curled up with a good book at home, etc. And finally, what the heck are the elastic bands for? The user manual mentions them in the "in this box" list, but it never says what they are for. Thanks, so much! Use this product with my laptop. Incredible sound and excellent software. Would recommend to anyone thinking of purchasing.
Bear in mind that, even though other operating systems might be compatible as well, it is not recommend that you apply any software on platforms other than the specified ones. Also, when the installation has finished, do perform a restart to ensure that all changes take effect properly. Therefore, if you wish to install this audio version, click the download button and apply the package.
It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available. Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.
