Reviews of the Hercules Gamesurround Muse Pocket USB

CNET Review
The Good: 5.1-channel audio support; easily portable; USB connection means no extra power cable.
The Bad: Draws power from laptop batteries; flimsy-feeling volume knob with not-fine-enough tuning; can't configure knob for other features.
The Bottom Line: An eminently portable USB audio solution, the Hercules Gamesurround Muse Pocket USB delivers basic 5.1-audio functionality with minimal fuss.
Manufacturer: Hercules Computer Technology Inc.
Part number: CNETHERCULESGAMESURROUNDMUSEPOCKETUSB
