There is also an optical input that can work as an analog input. I recommend using the most stable USB port on your laptop or the USB ports on the back of your desktop PC, those normally should give a cleaner and steadier USB voltage. It means G6 is completely USB bus-powered and will draw power from there. On the back panel you can spot the microUSB input and no other power inlet. A warning sign first: Dolby DTS, Vision and Atmos content will not work, just old-school Dolby Audio.

The LEDs on the far right will tell you if you are using the headphone output or the mic input and if Dolby Audio is enabled, but for that you will need to have Dolby Audio content on your PC (Dobly Audio enabled games or even movies). In easier words if you would like to listen to some music with it, use Direct Mode, it will sound clearer and purer. A long press on the crosshair button will completely disable all the DSP inside and will activate the Direct Mode, this is the only mode that supports 32-bit 384 kHz PCM files. The SBX button will activate the sound processing DSP and the crosshair button will increase the midrange and treble so you can hear those footsteps and spot the position of your enemies easier. The right-side houses two buttons and a low/high gain switch for some hard to drive headphones. On the front you have your 3.5mm headphone jack and there is also another 3.5 microphone jack, it means it also has a dedicated ADC (analog to digital converter) inside so your teammates can hear you louder and clearer. I really like the rubbery surface underneath it, no matter what I do it will always stay put and will not move around. The body size is quite small, smaller than a modern smartphone, except for thickness obviously.

Volume wheel is a 100% digital volume control that will actually control the Windows volume. The volume wheel is also lit and is really easy to find once you play in the darkness. After installing the Sound Blaster Connect 2 App you can change the color of the X, its blinking speed, it can even blink to your tunes. On top you have an X letter that is showing the power state, it glows only when it’s powered. There is also a Toslink (optical) cable and lots of paperwork.įit and finish is…interesting to say the least, the titanium like surface is actually a painted plastic surface, but since G6 is very lightweight, dropping it shouldn’t cause any damage. Underneath it you’ll find a simple microUSB cable, (Dang!) wish it had an USB Type-C connection, not because microUSB cables are hard to find but because Type-C can carry more voltage and is less prone to noise due to better shielding.

G6 is staying in a velvety like material and is the first thing to blast your eyes. Sound BlasterX G6 came in a small thick cardboard box with minimum foam protection inside. Now, G6 is a different type of DAC and headphone amp compared to regular units in so many ways that I can’t wait to tell you more. I was reserved at first as I was a strong believer that a DSP will just worsen things for me and my games, I guess I was kind of wrong as G6 is indeed having some interesting voodoo inside and won me over in the end. What it makes so different compared to pure audiophile DAC and headphone amp units is that the Sound BlasterX G6 is also having a DSP inside and is doing some additional processing to make all games sounding surreal and enveloping the listener or dare I say the gamer. It was the perfect time to test a gamer-oriented DAC and headphone amp unit called Sound BlasterX G6 from Creative Labs, yes exactly those guys who introduced first gaming sound cards about 20 years ago, I still remember lusting for an Audigy card when I was younger.

This period I stayed mostly at home watching movies and playing few games trying to cheer me up. I am a hardcore media consumer after all: music, movies or games is what I consume and I’m trying to find myself in those if world is giving me the middle finger.Īs you probably observed I was away past two weeks or so due to some health complications, but I’m back and ready to rock. I’m mostly a single-player type of gamer, searching for nice and captivating stories. OK guys, confession time: Yes, I game myself time and time again. We thank team Creative Labs for this opportunity.
