MP3 music is all well and good, its portable, and easy to store and download. But its the process of compressing your files that impairs your cherished music collection until now that is.
Substandard music and movie audio is a thing of the past thanks to Creative Labs latest device the Xmod. The plug-and-play device takes pride of place between your PC or Mac and its speakers to provide the listener with their very own live concert.
We got a one-off special performance at the Best of Stuff Show, and we were completely blown away by what we heard. The Xmod alone gives music that live band feel, and the performance improves even more when the crystalliser kicks in.
Listening using the Creative Labs HQ130D headphones, we were provided with synchs that just panned through our ears. Movie audio was ultimately more engaging too.
Theyre in the shops now retailing at £60, or check out the website www.creative.com.
