Average Rating:
Rating: - Great if you're not using any USB or firewire sound interface
iWow works fine and I like it, but it only works if you're listening to the music through your computer speakers and/or attached speakers. However, if you're planning to use a USB or firewire sound interface between your computer and the mixer/stero system speakers, it just won't work. They are aware of the problem too. It's funny, in the list of FAQs of iWow, they actually tell you that it won't work if you're using a sound interface.
Rating: - Fails miserably against Volume Logic
Any one who has used Volume Logic will never settle for this plugin. Unfortunately, Volume Logic is no longer available. I still wouldn't recommend buying this plugin.
Rating: - My MacBook never sounded better.
My friends were suprised to hear how much better my MacBook sounded from theirs when I had this thing installed. I couldn't believe the difference. I did the trial and bought it within minutes. Headphone mode for movies and tv downloads is quite good too.
Rating: - Great software for iTunes
Great product! Easy to use and made everything on iTunes sound MUCH better. Use it with my MacBook speakers or wi/ headphones - either way sounds great!!!
