Love Sound Blaster so many years! Recon 3Ds + JDS amp + Denon D7000 = my sound setup for gaming. Thanks for information!

[@Niklaos]

I'm in the only perso who does not understand why on earth we want the mic/headphone plugs in the front? What I'm missing here? Do people love having cables on top of their desks. After hours of research, I'm getting a GSX 1000 because apparently, it is the ONLY option that has rear mic & headphones.

[@TommyBlazeHD]

I'm currently using a Yamaha HTR-5740 as my DAC. My headphones are plugged into that and I love it. My modmic is supposed to be coming in today. That will mostly be used for teleconferencing , and it will be plugged into my PC tower directly.

THANKS MAN, been waiting for this review since the release of the x3 now I can finally pull the trigger I'm loving your channel, keep up the great work man!

[@UnknUserx]

The only thing I want is the best solution for super super sweaty competitive play. All I care about is Footsteps, reloads, and sound cue allowing me to locate anyone solely based in sound. I have the GSX 1,000 and a pair of DT 770 Pro's and this just doesn't cut it, do you think this product in the video would provide what I'm looking for combined with a pair of MASSDROP X SENNHEISER HD 58X JUBILEE HEADPHONES? But as far as your content and this video my God your production quality is top notch. Your reviews are basically the only ones I trust.

[@azozfs5330]

I have the HD58x Jubilee, I actually can pin point my enemies without any amp/dac I guess the Soundblaster in scout mode (footsteps mode) may offer better sound cues I just ordered one, i’ll let you know if i find any improvements (just remind me lol)

Is there any way you can do a comparison between the X3 vs. G6?

The G6 has a slightly better dac, that's it really if you don't have speakers. If you do have speakers get the X3 because of the outputs for that

I already fell down the rabbit hole, my dt 1990's pro's arrived last week after watching your review on them, i freaking love them.

[@Salluqu]

I use this coupled with the Razer tiamat v2 in discreet surround sound using the rear pins. Works like a hack in FPS games. This product was never meant to be used with the front 3.5mm jacks. The sennheiser doesnt have discreet surround so yeah...

[@robertldeboer]

It would be great to have a video specifically aimed at surround sound in games and what one needs to get and configure to truly get that experience. There are growing number of games that include 7.1 surround sound natively but with all of these options, how do you get it? Does the DAC have to have sorround sound mode if the games has it built in? Is "virtual" surround some of these offer the same experience? How does the headphones play in?

But to answer your question, it runs the 990 no issues. Very very enjoyable for music when it decides to work.

[@tattooedsailor8666]

Outstanding review/video Brian! Your Beginners guide to sound came in real handy also. Getting your sound outside of case was excellent advice. My MB is real noisy. My old dac was just amplifying all that. The X3 is a great all in one unit for the money. My biggest beef with Creative is lack of support in the long run.

[@Valyraen0341]

So glad you made a review on this, I have one and absolutely love it.

[@seandanesmith]

Can you tell me what headphones you use? And if the surround sound is good for gaming in your experience? is this thing good enough for music?

[@Valyraen0341]

I use a pair of (don't hate me for this) Razer Kraken Forged Edition headphones. I've found that this dac/amp with the music preset makes this headphones MUCH clearer and better sounding. I primarily use it for listening to music but it excels in gaming as well. As for the surround sound, I prefer it to be off. Not that big a fan of it but your experience may vary. I should be clear that I am NOT an audiophile and cannot discern subtle differences in audio. But I can say for a fact that this thing makes a pair of old RAZER headphones of all things sound pretty damn good, in my opinion of course.

[@imraneo]

Hi, I know the sxfi button can be used to switch between speakers and headphones. When the PC boots up, and if your headphones stay permanently connected, does your last output (speaker) stay on or resets to headphones? Thanks in advance!

[@Valyraen0341]

@@imraneo It stays on, I have something connected to the speaker output and the headphone output at all times. Though I should mention that I've experienced some bugs where it won't keep your output balance equal upon booting from a full shutdown on occasion. By that I mean the audio levels on the the left, right, center and so on of your audio equipment won't be at the same volume level. In particular, the left output ends up MUCH higher than the others but at least it's an easy fix. It doesn't happen all the time but I would still like for them to put out a bug fix for this issue soon.

Nice video, can you maybe make a video on the Astro MixAmp with other headphones besides the Astro’s, because I can’t find the MixAmp’s power limit anywhere.

[@d4fty]

I'm happy to hear your experience with the X3 was much better than mine. Mine had some really nasty distortion on top of all of the audio that was being output and added some pretty noticeable audio latency on top of that. Tried reinstalling the drivers and software to no avail and ended up sending it back the next day.

[@badseedtech]

Out of curiosity - do you remember what bitrate you were running it?

[@d4fty]

BadSeed Tech I unfortunately don’t. It’s been a while since I sent it back. I also had these issues when plugged into my PS4 as well.

[@LyK0sa]

I wish this had headphone and mic jacks at the back of the unit as well, I don't really like having cables trailing across my desk, I'd rather have them plugged in at the back and then routed underneath the desk

[@imraneo]

I've seen so many products.. and only the GSX1000 seems to have it at the back..

[@grinsk3ks]

does this mean that xfi mode is worse than the virtual surround you find on the sbz? I liked the virtual surround on the sbz quite a lot.

[@danejerustv]

[@ThatMillGuyShaf]

Honestly, this review convinced me to get the Soundblaster and although it JUST came in for me, I couldn't be happier with it! Huge boost to my audio game and I can't wait to explore it's options and ranges as my needs evolve through gaming, casual music, and editing! For reference, I'm powering a pair of Logitech G Pro X's and it sounds great!

[@IdeasDzn]

did it make footstep audio better for the Logitech G Pro X's? Struggling to find good audio with g hub for FPS (specifically warzone)

[@ThatMillGuyShaf]

@@IdeasDzn I was actually using it for CoD myself so yes I had noticed minute differences, especially when it comes to hearing doors open or distant movement like shrubs moving etc. Honestly, just extremely surprised at how this thing elevated the G Pro X, the fact that I'm getting so much more out of it interms of sheer out put, quality and just even footsteps makes it a worthwhile purchase! Also, jut recently routed my Edifier speakers into them which is great, and although I still need to control master volume natively with the speaker, my whole setup is routed into this little machine and it's lifting it all up perfectly! As someone who isn't an audiophile, I see this as a definite eng-game machine for your audio needs as a general consumer

[@IdeasDzn]

ThatMillGuy you have got me convinced! Will most likely be purchasing within the next few days to give it a go! Was really kind of let down with the audio quality of the G PRO X as I don’t use the blue microphone that was included and was going to purchase the Baerdynamic DT990 PRO. Didn’t want to mess with getting 2 pairs of headphones in a couple months so hopefully this is the golden ticket! Thank you for your advice man 🙏🏼💜

[@ThatMillGuyShaf]

@@IdeasDzn I don't think you'll be dissapointed! Also, if you ever end up upgrading headphones, you'll know you have a DAC/AMP that will power it like a champ!

[@IdeasDzn]

ThatMillGuy just got it in everything sounds great 👍 but on the super x-fi tab where you are supposed to select your headphones there is not Logitech g pro x or any Logitech headsets at all, I’m assuming you have it on unknown headphones!? Let me know ASAP and thanks once again ! 🙏🏼💜

[@FrontSeatRacing]

Bought this amp and the RÖDE AI-1, comparing those I will keep the AI-1, I use the Beyer Dynamics headset MMX300 and the dynamic and separation is much better on that one. No software needed to and mic monitoring functions flawlessly with an 3.5 mm mic adapter. Great review though!

[@Bazookavich]

Thanks for this review. Sticking to the Soundblaster G6 for now. 👍

[@CesarFerrer]

any issues with it so far ? i have heard there is crackling in some of them and side tone or tone issues in others.

[@Bazookavich]

@@CesarFerrer I'm not an audiophile in any way but I haven't heard anything like that with my copy

[@Kaanuzall]

@@CesarFerrer I haven't had crackling issues so far, but the side tone is real. Maybe it is my fault for not knowing how to navigate the soundblaster connect 2 app though. I either hear myself more than the game itself, or not at all. One other problem is with the regular mic settings. The software kinda deepens your voice, but nothing too drastic. Again, might be my fault for not being able to use the app to its fullest. Other than mic issues, the sound quality is really good for me. This was my best purchase for my ps4, hands down! I really don't care about the mic too, I am not the one hearing it and none of my friends complained.

[@llljammylll]

i already have one of these. it is great. I also have hd660s headphones, am i wasting my money if i upgrade to dac and amp stack ( schit / topping. ) or is it worth the upgrade. i can afford the upgrade. would the difference be noticaible. im gaming and listening to tunes not really interested in the surround feteaures on the sbx3. dolby atmos is perfect for the games i play.

[@pxKappa]

doesn't the g6 also has the Dolby surround thing? or maybe that's not what you're talking about when you say it doesn't have it over this x3... they also have a tiny one that's more focused to be used on consoles but seems to be a good product on pc as well... and it has chat mix too... the sound blaster G3 (for about 60€)

[@johnny_monnier]

Been doing research for weeks trying to figure out the best gaming headset set up for PS4 and you definitely sold me on these! Now I just need to pick a good headset.

[@5dstrix]

Thank god you put that bit about it not being better than the G6 for sound quality at the end, I just bought a G6 and I was about to be mad lol... do you think the amp in the g6 is more powerful?

[@xe-eu7fl]

Great video. Any chance of a review of the Astro A40, or the Mixamp (or both))?

[@syrten]

the G6 has sidetone. You just gotta hot the volumen knob until the ring is red and tap it .

[@88Opportunist]

Sounded like the GSX has better surround though? Since I want surround, or channel-mixing, my choices are kinda limited.

[@jonathanphang]

I got this a couple of weeks ago so here's my 2p. I currently have a Magni 3 so was looking to complete the stack. However I needed a mic input for gamin and the stack would not have solved that problem neatly. For reference I run Phillips SHP9500s and a vmoda boom pro mic for gaming and have X2HRs and 6XX for anything else. I find that there's more than enough power to give me the volume I need on all by that's of course subjective. The headphone input must be a 4 pole as I can use a single cable so keeps my setup nice and clean. As Brian alludes to the mic input is great and sounds fantastic. I personally just run direct for gaming and think that sounds great. I love that its bus powered so that keeps things clean on the desktop. Overall, it suits me for being able to drive the headphones mentioned whilst allowing me to keep cables to a minimum. If the Hel was a bit cheaper I would have got this but for just over £100 in the UK It was the best value option for what I needed.

[@NgocNguyen-kw9gt]

Is this can use for singing karaoke online

[@ExitiumD]

@jonathanphang so Philips SHP9500s with vmoda works perfect with the X3?????????

[@willhandley]

Hey! I have some speakers I'll use along side the headphones but they work with just a single 3.5mm jack, will the rear ports still work with this and which jack should I plug them into? The other thing is how does switching between the output devices work. Many thanks, loving the channel

[@xBloodXGusherx]

This channel is a wealth of info. I always wanted to get into audio. Just bought the Razer Kraken Ultimate and I am horrified I paid for this and now on the market for new headset. Right now I am looking at SteelSeries Arctis Pro.

[@ascap2854]

Just upgraded to a 3080 ti and it's so big it covers the pcie slot my Sound Blaster zX goes in. Time for an external sound card, this helped with my decision.

If you need a microphone input and live in a part of the world that you can get the Creative X3 for 106$ and need 165$ for the Schiit Fulla 4 would you still go for the latter? I'm currently using a Drop X Sennheiser PC38X and willing to buy some time the HD58X and some entry level planars

[@carlosfortoul]

How does this Dac/amp compares to the schiit hel or fulla3?

[@HeroicLarvy]

Well, he said he personally preferred the GSX1000 to those in that video, so Id wager the Tier list goes X3 > GSX1000 > Hel > Fulla

[@CesarFerrer]

@@HeroicLarvy hi, where did he said that ? im looking for that video, or was it in this video and i didnt notice?

[@Space_Garbage]

If you are still looking for an answer, the Hel and Fulla 3 would be better for music since they have more powerful headphone amplifiers. The X3 may run some headphones with volume, but it will won't sound as full. I experienced that with the GSX1000 and its weak amplifier. The X3 is useful for the features such as the simulated surround sound and different mic settings. I personally found SXFI to be the worst implementation behind the GSX1000 and Audeze Mobius. I've done the head mapping several times with no avail. It adds too much reverb and makes it sound like you are in a bathroom. Best case it sounds like a crappy recording of a surround sound setup. Others have stated similar experiences. If you are interested in EQ settings you can accomplish that with any DAC and AMP with Equalizer APO.

[@jasonscalzo9597]

Been waiting for this review!

[@kevinleeyc20]

how does this compare to the Schiit Fulla 3? they are both in a similar price bracket if i remember correctly

[@NoMalarkey]

Got this a couple weeks ago, can confirm it is a great all-rounder. Powers my B&0 H9i pretty well too!

[@boppernostopper8598]

cringe. I have always thought of B&O of focusing more on design than strictly on sound quality. A lot of their stuff looks really cool, but it certainly isn't the best bang for the buck, and sometimes is designed more towards aesthetics than sound quality. definitely some cool stuff to go look at in a store, but personally I wouldn't buy it as audiophile gear if you are focused on sound quality above all else. and sennheiser drops the ball almost across the board on this especially SXFI

[@durapoker]

I'm still trying to decide between this and the soundblaster G6.......🤔

[@pixopixopixo]

[@seandanesmith]

I was thinking about getting this unit but I really don’t know if I should pull the trigger on it. It has a lot of options I know that I’ll enjoy but I don’t want to to sacrifice sound quality while listening to music. I don’t think there are other as well rounded options on the market though. I was thinking of pairing these with HD58x jubilees and or some pc37xs. I don’t what solution I’ll use for a microphone yet if I go for the jubilees though.

Hi Brian, sorry for the late question but as of now, what do you recommend as the best 7.1 positional solution to PC gaming? Thanks and love the channel.

[@Zefram0911]

I have the Super X-Fi gumstick DAC/Amp and I totally agree with your assessment about games. I love everything about the dac/amp, but I just cannot use it for games. I'm a top 500 overwatch player and I've played at ESL Cologne and I couldn't get use to the processing for games. Everything else, pretty good. Sometimes I found processing for music to be a little unnatural too though.
