    It is one of the most minimal DAC-slash-external sound cards from Creative. If you have a PC and a console in the same space and use a headset with a microphone, then the G8 ties all these together in one device.

    We remove one star for the slightly high price from some stores, and the absence of a USB-A in the package since it assumes everyone has type-C readily available on laptops/PCs and consoles. The optical outputs/inputs are welcome as they allow connection to a TV or console as ARC. It also features additional gain control at the back to drive headphones/monitors or refined models for audiophiles. In terms of quality, it stands very close to its other flagship cards like the Sound Blaster X5 and the GC7 with their buttery controls and clear sound.

    Amazing sound card! I'm blown away. The sound quality has significantly improved compared to the built-in one of the motherboard.

    Not the best quality, it's worth investing a bit more money for something better.
