ADATA recently boldly stepped into the crowded gaming headset market. Their first and currently top-of-the-line product is actually a bundle of three different devices - an analog gaming headset (EMIX H30), a 7.1-channel USB sound card (SOLOX F30), and a headset stand. We set out to find out whether it is worth the asking price of $200.

There's no way to buy any part of this bundle as a standalone product, nor are there any plans to make that possible in the future. If you already have a nice headset and are only looking for an external sound card (or vice versa), well, tough luck as this is an all-or-nothing kind of deal. That's a risky move on ADATA's behalf. It means that they're putting a lot of faith in all the parts of the bundle being equally good, and good enough to be worth a full $200 at that. In this review, we'll figure out if that's indeed the case or if you'd be better off saving your money for future ADATA XPG audio products.
