Review on 🎶 External USB Sound Card - CREATIVE Sound BlasterX G6 by Hoon Alvin ᠌

SOUND - that's all they write here, they say the sound is fire . As for me, it's such an ordinary sound that it's terrible for an external device. Sound, how to describe . synthetic or something. Level Realtek 892 in a good harness, only louder and for ears up to 600 ohms and with a slightly different stylistic color. In the Edifier R2700, IMHO, the DAC sounds better, even if it is coordinated with the speaker components at the factory. Although the speakers completely with him cost like G6, and they are not ideal. The VOLUME / MICROPHONE LEVEL CONTROL, when turned vigorously, skips "cutoffs" (the wheel itself is without cutoffs, I mean in terms of influencing the volume), and sometimes it "twirls" the volume on the other side. Perhaps this is a protection against stunning - listening to music louder than 50% already hurts on the ears, about 100db of sensitivity and 32 Ohm (average value for the market), otherwise you can’t sharply increase the volume by accident. Terrible ERGONOMICS - the wheel is not conveniently recessed into the body; the force on the buttons and the weight of the device require you to hold the card when you press it; it is impossible to let the sound on several outputs at the same time (for example, on the ears and the line output). CURVE SOFT - the settings often fall off, when changing modes, the equalizer sometimes, in principle, "randomizes", the control logic of everything and everything is very C grade, the first time not everyone will have a complete understanding of what goes where. Sometimes a disabled item actually works, but to turn it off, you need to turn it on and unscrew it to zero, and only then turn it off. Often the software forgets the profiles and resets the SBX or EQ profile settings. MICROPHONE INPUT . well, it kind of is. Kind of works. But sometimes the built-in realtek writes sound better. Let's just say - the minimum level so that your breathing with interference and noise can be heard normally in the discord. PRICE - incommensurable with the issued sound. Its sound is better than the built-in ones, but so little that it's better to throw a third or a half of the cost of the G6 into the mother and get more goodies in the computer as a whole. Buying a G6, IMHO, is justified only for LANs (to have a custom-built sound on the road) and for consoles.
