I am having an old Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop. Recently I bought myself a Bose QC15 headphone. I find the sound I get on the headphone a bit thin (lacks depth). I mostly listen to FLACs. I was wondering if an external sound card like this can bring any considerable difference to my music listening experience. I am not intending to connect to speakers.Could you please comment on whether I do need external card.
What is your opinion on the product I linked to in the question. Basically, I don't want to buy something that I can't utilize for the headphones. – Ajay – 2011-05-17T08:54:02.217
Without having the product tested on my own, I think it will do the job. There may be better solutions, but they will also be much more expensive. – Michael K – 2011-05-17T08:56:16.067
The product you linked looks perfect for headphones. – Ajay – 2011-05-17T08:58:37.733
According to the tech specs of creative, it supports EAX and uses the well known sound blaster technology. Unfortunately I don't have the time to read some reviews now, but if it is nearly as great as the sound blaster cards, it may be what you are looking for. – Michael K – 2011-05-17T09:02:47.700

not headphones are made the same, they should work with the bose, but whether a bit of gear will work with with a specific bit of kit is about 50 percent black magic, 25 percent luck, 10 percent personal preference.... you get the idea. ;p. In general its a good idea to look at the output impedance of the headphone out, and that of your headphones. – Journeyman Geek – 2011-05-18T08:00:52.023
