One of the darlings of the PC sound card industry, Turtle Beach has made a name for itself by pushing the highest quality out of mainstream audio processors. High standards and increasing features in a shrinking industry has kept Turtle Beach at the top of the sound card market.

But what of systems like notebooks, that lack the room for a full-fledged PCI card? Turns out that Turtle Beach has a solution for that need as well: the Audio Advantage Roadie.

The Roadie offers 5.1 and 7.1 surround sound to nearly any modern PC, from laptops to compact home theater systems, via a USB port. Could this be the answer both for notebooks and ever-shrinking desktops, a high-end compact audio solution that meets our value needs?
