Creative have released their new Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Go! Which takes the form of a highly portable plug ‘n’ play USB dongle serving to bring Creative’s award winning X-Fi audio processing technology as well as EAX Advanced HD 4.0 to laptops and notebooks even when out and about.

Featuring 1GB of integrated flash memory, which serves to store the required drivers – hence eliminating the need for a driver CD – the Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Go! comes with both X-Fi Crystalizer and X-Fi CMSS-3D. X-Fi Crystalizer technology which restores details lost during compression of MP3 music or movie files and expands stereo MP3s, digital movies and games into virtual surround over speakers or headphones respectively and also comes with Creative’s ALchemy software to ‘restore’ surround sound on Windows Vista based platforms.
