With support for 7.1 discrete and virtual sound channels, the Sound Blaster X4 enhances the surround sound capabilities for both headphones and speakers. The device offers three ways to reproduce surround sound:
The headphone amplifier offers SXFI BATTLE Mode and Scout Mode, which help to highlight important in-game audio details, such as footsteps or the direction of incoming sounds.
CrystalVoice technology enhances voice quality and clarity, which you'll particularly appreciate during team communication while gaming. The Acoustic Echo Cancellation feature helps suppress echoes and ensures clear voice transmission. The software also lets you activate the Smart Volume function, which balances communication volume. The microphone equaliser complements your headset's built-in microphone, helping to achieve a more natural and clearer delivery.
The Creative Sound Blaster X4 offers several ways to connect to other devices:
The headphone amplifier features intuitive controls with buttons and a rotary knob on the front of the device. For example, the quick microphone mute button saves time you would otherwise spend searching for the setting in a game or application.
