Sound BlasterX G6 (GREY)

Absolutely brilliant

My 13-year-old amp blew up and died so needed just a headphone amp for my pc duties and this little box has worked really well so far.Sound quality and loudness both very good for the price.

The G6 is an awesome USB sound card. Using headphones, the sound is excellent, the amplifier makes listening on earphones an absolute joy. Music is louder and just sounds better than with my built-in sound card. But... Earphones wasn't the main reason for purchasing an external sound card. The various other outputs and the ability to connect it to anything, was. Creative, with their prestige and experience, decided not to fully implement the SPDIF protocol on the output, which means the volume and mute function cannot be controlled on the device connected via optical cable. So, increasing and decreasing the volume and muting, using Windows sound controls or the volume knob on the G6 itself does nothing. I have to reach for the remote to control the sound levels. It's a mild inconvenience, but when one is used to using the keyboard to control volume, it's an irritating change to get used to. Even more an irritation when you consider that the SPDIF optical input is able to be controlled from Windows. A major flaw, for me, unfortunately. If you don't require the optical output, though, I'd say: go for it! It's an awesome sound card. I emailed Creative and they're not too interested in explaining the issue.

Perfect for use with the IE200 from Sennheiser

"Moderne Mainboards haben ausreichend guten Onboard Klang" und andere Märchen! Ich habe die Creative C7 interne Soundkarte bei einem Freund gehört und war begeistert. Aber für die habe ich keinen Platz mehr in meinem PC. Daher habe ich mir die G6 USB Soundkarte angesehen. Ist nicht mehr die jüngste Karte, sie hat noch Micro USB (autsch) aber der Klang ist einfach prima. Zusammen mit guten Lautsprechern oder Kabelkopfhörern an der G6 kommt richtig "knackiger" Sound aus dem PC. Der Klang ist sauber getrennt, einzelne Instrumente sind leichter zu hören und Bässe wummern nicht, Bässe knacken. Große Dynamik: Stil / Leise und eine plötzliche Explosion rockt das Zimmer. Wer kann sollte das mal vergleichen und nicht einfach meinem Text vertrauen. Ich überlege mir noch einen zweiten PC mit dieser Karte auszustatten. Beim Versand gabs ein bisserl nachzuhaken aber dafür kann die Karte nix, deshalb keinen Abzug.

Muito bom, dá para fazer muitas configurações de áudio(efeitos, equalizadores etc). Ainda não testei com o PS5, mas já o uso com pc está excelente. É bem maior do que eu imaginava, mas é leve. Esquenta um pouco, mas nada em nível alarmante. O modo Scout deixa muito nítido os passos em jogos de tiro, foi uma excelente compra e o único ruim é que para nós brasileiros, é um produto meio caro.

Très bon produit pour PC sur micro USB . Prendre un filage micro USB blindé et si vous avez un port High current usb sur la carte mère le prendre et ensuite paramétrer le logiciel ..

I had sound plaster E5 and Sennheiser 1000 but are not powerful enough for planar magnetic headphone. The G6 is much better in driving my planar headphone and has an improved software as well.
