It doesn’t matter how great your headphones are (or aren’t), they won’t sound as good as they could without a good digital to analog converter (DAC) and headphone amp in the mix. Face it, your laptop’s sound card sounds as flat as a crêpe on griddle, and your phone might not be much better off. The SoundBlaster E3 can dramatically improve the sound quality you get from multiple devices, acts as a microphone, and perhaps best of all, works as a Bluetooth adapter, turning any headphones you own into wireless headphones.
Now for the really good news: You can win one of these all-in-wonders right now. Digital Trends has partnered with Creative to bring one lucky winner an E3, shipped straight to their home. Just click below to enter!
If you don’t win, stay tuned! We’ll have more giveaways in the future.

Audio-Technica, a brand well known for making some of the best studio and professional headphones on the market, has just come out with the ATH-AWX7000, which the company itself claims to be its "finest headphones ever." The new flagship closed-back headphone has debuted at an eye-watering price of $3,799. It combines hand-finished Japanese woodwork with a newly developed 58mm driver.
The earcups are made from Kiso cypress, a prized wood historically used for Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples. Each housing is finished by hand with traditional Echizen lacquer, which brings out the grain and is expected to darken over time. The frame and sliders are finished in a deep navy kachi-iro shade traditionally associated with samurai.
