It also allows users to easily switch between headphones and built-in speakers, and users can operate the sound card with either a PC or a video game console.

Main Features: 

The Sound BlasterX G6 includes these features:

  • Convenient Controls: The single audio wheel controls both the gameplay audio and your mic volume for easy balancing. Buttons on the side control processing profiles and Scout Mode, and switching between headphones and speakers is easy via the Sound Blaster Connect software.
  • Supports Scout Mode: While gaming, users can activate Scout Mode to enhance important in-game audio cues - such as footsteps and weapon switching sounds - allowing them to quickly and accurately pinpoint their opponents' location.

The Sound BlasterX G5 includes these features:

  • Native 7.1 Surround Sound Support: the portable G5 supports virtual 7.1 channel audio input signals for realistic virtualization via BlasterX Acoustic Engine Pro, to deliver gaming effects and audio cues with high accuracy and positioning via headphones.

  • Immersive 3D PC Gaming Audio: features a built-in SB-Axx1 multi-core chipset for hardware-accelerated audio. It transforms basic, underperforming motherboard stereo into immersive 3D virtual surround sound for headsets.
    • The G5 also supports multi-channel content, and 7.1 audio mixing for ultra-realistic surround sound into headphones.

The Sound BlasterX G1 includes these features:

  • Input signals for realistic virtualization of gaming effects and audio cues with accurate positioning to headphones.
  • Powers headphones of up to 300Ω, which means users can use higher-rated headphones while experiencing enhanced audio.
  • BlasterX Acoustic Engine Pro for PC: Fully customizable BlasterX Acoustic Engine Pro for PC powers the Sound BlasterX G1 to deliver various audio enhancements.
  • X-Plus Mode: When combined with the Sound BlasterX H5, this mode allows users to change the sound signature of the H5 headset when it's connected to the G1 soundcard on a hardware level. X-Plus mode accentuates the audio for hearing elements that matter within a competitive game while playing down emphasis on things that do not. Hear footsteps, gunshots and other audio cues clearer and better without the distraction of ambient noises. The settings are programmed straight to the G1 eliminating the need for software installations.
