I bought one about a year ago and have been using it on my pc. It's has decent quality for music and its awsome for gaming. I love the fact that it's portable and can charge your USB devices while being used. Some of its features are awesome like being able to take phone calls via Bluetooth to my headset and being able to screw with my friends with the voice changer. However I do have 3 issues with it.
1. In the front you have two headphone 3.5mm outputs and a line in in the back. So if you have a headset with a mic you have to plug into both the front and the back of the unit. For someone who appreciates cable management this looks ugly and makes me want to hide the Unit. I would have preferred both a Line out and line in located in the front. 2. When I leave it plugged into my pc with both the unit and the pc tuned off the battery drains. Idk if it's trying to supply power to my pc or what is going on but it's annoying. 3. This one almost made me return the unit. If you are using a separate mic which plugs into the unit. Good luck. I was unable to figure out how to enable the line-in without the Creative software. Even with the software installed its not intuitive and requires you to play with the settings. The documentation doesnt provide an answer and the unit is set by default to use its built in mic(which is actually pretty good).
As a gaming product I would buy again.

EvilMrMeI read somewhere that clicking the power button twice disables charging.

EvilMrMeEvilMrMe, thanks for the comments and feedback.
As you know we're always looking for ways to improve (like adding virtual surround capability after launch..etc). I'm forwarding the comments here to the design / engineering team. We'll also get a FAQ item up on the microphone issue. I definitely see what you're talking about in regards to it not being clear in the manual. One of the "problems" with making a product that is capable of so many things is making sure all of the items it CAN do are noted correctly. Thanks for the catch on this capability!
