I've starting replaying some older and newer game titles using the Sound Blaster XG6 and my Sennheiser HD58 X Jubilee headphones and its like I'm playing these for the first time in almost a cinematic sound experience and as Techne mentioned, you feel like your part of that world of the game you're playing, hearing and it's weird to say, but also feeling the sound which is amazing and immersive!!!!!! Well done to Techne for this great review, but also well done to Sound Blaster for this excellent product too. :) Cheers from Australia

    Great review Techne! If you can pin this post there one VERY important note about using the G6's optical connection with any console device at has optical out. You MUST set the primary audio output to optical and more importantly set the audio format to Bitstream Dolby (If prompted, select 5.1 ch). It is a NIGHT and DAY difference with the surround sound immersion (directional queue and distance) for PS4 and PS3 (but you also have to enable SBX surround (00:04:10) using the software on PC and set it anywhere that works best for you (Personally I set surround to 65). The G6 can also be powered by the PS3/4's usb port which also enables mic input. No need for usb wall plug. The games I noticed the biggest surround effect were most FPS games I played (Apex Legends, CoDs, Battlefields) heck even Batman Arkham series. You will seriously have an audible advantage in competitive shooters with this amp. Scout mode may make footsteps abit louder but SBX surround lets you hear where it's coming from. It's crazy good, the sound design that developers put into some games and this G6 amp just takes surround to another level of immersion when connected/setup properly.

    Just an FYI for Xbox users that this can be used with party chat, but not game chat. Usually people who use DAC's/mixamps have a desk set up. What you have to do is hook up the G6 via optical to your xbox, G6 to your PC via USB and use the Xbox PC app to use part chat. Works with the Series S & X also but you'll needs an HDMI audio extractor to get optical, or use your TV optical output.

    Or just plug the 3.5mm jack of your controller into the "Line In" port, and voila, game chat or part chat. But you will need a splitter to split the audio and mic ports with the controller 3.5mm jack, then use the mic of your choice with the remaining mic port.

    The SBX G6 sounds better when it's on it's own power, with optical in. My Mac and PS4 both work fine on usb, but sound is better when the card is not being taken over by an external OS. Another thing to mention, if Dolby Digital is thrown at it you MUST use the SBX button ON to get the surround working, when you're sending stereo through anything turn OFF the SBX for better sound.
