This product will shortly be in the dust bin of bad technology. I have several Creative Labs products and all of them are pretty good. My Audigy 2Z platinum pro is great on my desktop. But I’m looking for a laptop media solution and this was not a good choice. First the unit reduces the volume output in all modes from the original source. Second the unit does not work with any of the media players on my laptop including one by Creative. Third the units volume control does not work when you use it digitally through the USB port as designed. I didn’t even bother hooking up the receiver when I saw the transmitter does not work. Forget about any help what-so-ever from Creative. They only answer you with automated emails and their call in line is useless. This product looks great but it does not live up to the hype.

This is a fantastic product. It works well and is very easy to use. It has very rich functionalities for its price point. I am not really using it as it was design for but rather just to transmit the television sound to an ear phone so that I don’t have to raise the volume of the TV – there is not computer involved. The product is overkill in that context but it comes actually cheaper than less sophisticated solutions! Anyway, in that context I noticed a little lag between the receiver and the source. This is noticeable but really not annoying. I would buy it again for the same application.

Bought the Wireless XMOD after I bought a new wireless router (DLink DIR-655). Wife’s macbook could access the wireless network fine until I hooked up the XMOD.
Apparently the Creative Wireless interferes with other things in the 2.5ghz spectrum.
Called Creative. There is no way to disable the wireless feature. I even removed the wireless module from inside the XMOD and my system wouldn’t recognize it any longer. Put the module back in and covered the XMOD with aluminum foil, hoping to create a sort of Faraday cage… Didn’t help.
It’s as good as garbage right now.

I was excited to see this because I love the idea of being able to hear MP3 files on the “big stereo” in the den. I have a very nice Yamaha receiver and Klipsch speakers, and when I hooked up this contraption, the sound was simply horrible. I tried all the adjustments I could find – like turning off any effects on my receiver and this thing…nothing worked. Very distorted sound, nowhere near as good as CD or even radio.
