USB DAC and Amp with Smart Communication Features - For both work and gaming

Imbued with essential communication features—SmartComms Kit and CrystalVoice—for better, clearer, and fuss-free conversations that just flows. Automatically mute and unmute yourself without lifting a finger, remove static background noise from both ends of a call and echoes that go on a parroting loop, or even reduce the harsh tones of your built-in headset’s mic using our Microphone Equalizer—it’s all possible with Sound Blaster X4.

It doesn’t stop there: The Sound Blaster X4 is also packed with 7 I/O connectors, 3 surround sound technologies, up to 7.1 discrete and virtual multi-channel support, built-in headphone amplifier that drives headphones of up to 600Ω with ease, and customizable EQ modes for any types of content, compatible with all kinds of platforms.

    Will this improve the audio quality of my Zoom meetings?

      Yes. In fact, you can even hear what they think of you.

        Does it have a feature to emphasise words whilst you are talking?

          No but it has a feature to grey what you say..

        • smartazz104 on 18/03/2022 - 20:10

          They will literally hear the bolded words.

    I have a Sound Blaster ZxR, would this be better if I'm primarily using powered speakers?

    Looking to free up a PCIe slot inside my desktop.

    • Void on 18/03/2022 - 20:54

      What do you need a soundcard for with powered speakers?

      • ozb88 on 18/03/2022 - 21:49

        Motherboard audio is generally pretty awful, and I've had the ZxR since launch so kept using it through multiple PC upgrades

        • virtual81 on 19/03/2022 - 10:24

          Not all motherboard audio is terrible.
          Some of the realtek 8xx series was pretty rotten but the 12xx series is good.
          That said, you could just use a cheap DAC that at least has a nice chip in it.

    • AssociatedCLPL @ Creative Labs, Singapore on 18/03/2022 - 21:22

      X4 has a DNR of 114 dB compared to ZxR's 124 dB, but X4 has features like Super X-Fi, SXFI Battle mode, SmartComms kit, EQ modes, and a mic button. You can also plug it into other devices like headsets if you want to!

      • ozb88 on 18/03/2022 - 21:50

        Thank you. Is the audio quality noticably better?

        • DeeJayeex on 18/03/2022 - 21:53

          Exactly what I'd like to know. I also have the ZxR and wondering if I should jump on this…

  • ProjectZero on 18/03/2022 - 22:34

    Any experts here regarding how these match up to a topping MX3? this looks so much better in terms of aesthetics so potential switch it out for these…

  • adventurer on 18/03/2022 - 23:53

    Beware of International transaction charge !!! This mob process payment oversea.

    I have the Rig 500 E-Sports edition headphones

    https://www.ebgames.com.au/product/pc/242882-rig-500-pro-e-s…

    They already came with a code for Dolby Atmos for Windows

    Will using this Soundblaster with them make any improvement to my sound?

    • AssociatedCLPL @ Creative Labs, Singapore on 19/03/2022 - 15:23

      On top of what the headset offer, the Sound Blaster X4 is also a headphone amplifier, so it would improve the audio and further enhance your gaming experience with both SXFI BATTLE Mode and Scout Mode features.

      Here’s the Sound Blaster buy guide if you want to consider others, depending on your usage and devices: https://au.creative.com/soundblaster/#buying-guide

      • TheCandyMan2020 on 19/03/2022 - 20:07

        I am struggling to choose between the GC7, X4 and G6

        Primary usage gaming. Don't care about portability as it's for use on a desktop.

        • AssociatedCLPL @ Creative Labs, Singapore on 21/03/2022 - 14:18

          If you're using it just for gaming, we would recommend either the GC7 or G6. The GC7 has programmable buttons for you to save your audio presets and assign custom keystrokes, has Super X-fi technology, and offers gaming features like SXFI BATTLE Mode & Scout mode. On the other hand, the G6 has audiophile-grade specs, giving you quality audio as a virtual 7.1, 32-bit / 384 kHz, 130 dB USB DAC.

      • TheCandyMan2020 on 19/03/2022 - 20:19

        Can I also clarify, do these Sound Blaster units work with USB headphones or do they only work with standard headphones (3.5mm jack?)

        • AssociatedCLPL @ Creative Labs, Singapore on 21/03/2022 - 14:10

          Our cards don't work with USB headsets, just 3.5mm analog ones

          • TheCandyMan2020 on 21/03/2022 - 14:20

            @CLPL: OK well I have settled on a GC7.

            Any chance of a discount code?

            Back in the 1990's every computer store stocked Creative Soundblaster products - these days almost none do.

    I thought this was a robo-vacuum..

  • cloudie9 on 22/03/2022 - 21:13

    I have X3, what's the improvement X4 over that?

    • AssociatedCLPL @ Creative Labs, Singapore on 22/03/2022 - 22:00
      +1

      X3's audio specs are slightly better than X4, but X4 offers features like SmartComms Kit and Battle Mode which may interest you, depending on your usage. It also has Optical in connectivity which X3 doesn't.

  • Snoozer on 31/03/2022 - 13:37

    Thanks, have ordered one to replace my old X-fi Titanium which doesn't work so well under Windows 10. The ability to easily switch between speakers and headphones sold it for me.
