Title: Directionality is there, but not really a "mini 5.1"
Product review: Purchased this as a compact, wallet-friendly solution to my problem: I have an X360 console and an LCD monitor but no speakers. I wanted directionality and immersion in that order. This is a reasonably priced option in that you do get the directionality, but not quite 5.1 sound. Front left/right sounds like center. Rear left/right sound proper and center is center. I do like the active rumble that emulates bass. As you go lower and lower in frequency sound is more felt than heard and its that sensation that bassheads are after, so this is a natural and innovative solution. For the purposes of gaming, I like it.The connectors can be a little on the loose side. I do wish the connectors were a little tighter. The item isn't hefty and the DAC/AMP unit (the smaller box in the photo) is surprisingly lightweight. Not surprising though, seeing as how its just a single PCB in a plastic enclosure.4 stars. I do not regret my purchase.
