About this deal

Turn the knob right to decrease the volume level of Audio Source 2 (SPDIF Interface), and increase the volume level of Audio Source 1 simultaneously. CrystalVoice adds and removes options that affect how your microphone sounds to people you’re playing online with or working with via online meetings. The NoiseClean features work best for static background noises such as fans, air conditioning, air purifier, humidifiers, vacuum cleaners, hair dryers, electric shavers, and even lawn mowers. In addition, the Sound Blaster X4 also comes with a plethora of connectivity options and convenient controls for a hassle-free set-up right out of the box, making it the ideal all-in-one audio upgrade for PC, Mac, PS5, PS4 and Nintendo Switch users.

I’d say most people will get more benefit from the SmartComms Kit than from the higher 32bit audio on the X3. Acoustic Engine allows you to change the levels of Surround, Crystaliser, Bass, Smart Volume, and Dialogue. Users can also easily control the volume levels between two audio sources with the Audio Balance feature on PC, Mac, PS5, or PS4. This is a welcome change compared to the X3, whose front headphone output didn't have this capability, so using a splitter cable was mandatory.

First, we have a set of four linear outputs, which can be used to connect active (powered) speakers. Finally, there's a microphone equalizer with 11 different presets, which can help you sound better if your voice is otherwise problematic (very high-pitched or exceptionally deep and boomy, for example), at least in theory. Retaining the revolutionary tri-amplified design from its predecessor, the Sound Blaster Katana V2 is back with boosted power, better drivers, and more features!

The X3 is the world’s first external multi-channel USB DAC and Amp to feature our award-winning Super X-Fi technology with multiple connectivity options including Line-in and Optical-out. From internal PCI-e cards to USB audio and gaming DACs, and audio adapters, give your audio the quality it deserves because details do matter. Whether it's the sound of your enemies' gun reload or a slight ruffle in the grass, Scout Mode is sure to bring the cues right to your ears. When activated, NoiseClean-in cleans up your co-worker's voice and separates it from any background noise by filtering and allowing only their voice through into your headphones.Launched last month, the Creative Sound Blaster X4 is a tweaked version of the popular X3 DAC, which integrates the new Smartcomms Kit that has featured on several of the recent Creative products. Creative gave voice to the personal computer when it introduced the first SoundBlaster sound card all those years ago.

The way Creative made this work is by having the Sound Blaster X4 show up as two separate playback interfaces in Windows/macOS: "SPDIF Out" and "Speakers. The color of the glowing ring changes between orange, cyan, and green depending on which "source" is louder.

With Super X-Fi, users can experience high-definition holographic audio as though there is a high-end multi-speaker system set up within the headphones with exceptional clarity and powerful bass for a more immersive audio experience. SXFI I covered in detail in the SXFI Air Gamer Headset review, so take a look at that to see the options. Select from nine different SBX profiles to suit your audio, or customize one according to your needs. Advanced settings allow you to access and control each feature according to your environment and preferences.

The equalizer profiles, customizable through Creative App (Windows, macOS, Android, iOS), have three preassigned colors—white, pink, and blue—and a small LED above the button can glow in any of these colors as well. Without missing out on audio cues and immersive ambient effects, you'll be able to hear the details effortlessly from your headphones—especially spoken dialogs in shows—with natural and lifelike soundstage that's deeply immersive and highly realistic, akin to the movie theaters. With the Sound Blaster X4 and its 7 I/O connectors, it's now much easier to connect multiple audio devices!During the audition, the Super X-Fi system created a realistic sense of space as I listened to a soundtrack.
