'If the poor sound from your television's wimpy built-in speakers is ruining your DVD movie and console video game experience--but you're unwilling to pony up the cash, space, and effort to install a true 5.1 surround-sound setup--check out the Soundaround audio processor from Xitel. The $100 device literally tricks your brain into hearing audio from speakers that aren't really there'...if you're looking to spruce up your audio experience without spending much cash, the device is a worthy investment.'
Tom Mainelli from PC World Magazine (USA)
'SOUNDaround's 'Clarity' setting, which filters dialog, is impressive. Sometimes spoken words on a DVD can be hard to hear because of background noise, so you end up turning up the volume. SOUNDaround did a nice job of isolating it without having to boost the audio. It was hard to believe that clear dialog, crisp music, and the low rumble of special effects were coming from just the two speakers on my old TV....if you're short on space and don't want the hassle of setting up a multi-speaker system, SOUNDaround can make those summer blockbusters you're watching really pop, with minimal setup and cost.'
Michelle Johnson from The Boston Globe (USA)
'The heart of the system is psychoacoustics, which, as Xitel puts it, is a 'scientific method of mapping how the brain processes what your ears hear'. We tested the unit by playing a number of different Xbox and PS2 games as well as several movies. Switching from no processing to surround, the mock surround effect is very noticeable and would likely make a user wonder how they were satisfied with the hollow, tinny sound of TV speakers before.'
Andrew Moore-Crispin from HubCanada.com (Canada)
'I would buy and praise the Xitel SoundAROUND because of its amazing ability to improve audio. It does it well enough that you would show it off to your friends when they came over, pulling them to the side saying 'Listen to this. Check out how much better this sounds now.''
Aaron Stanton from Games First (USA)
