The editors liked

  • Powerful hardware
  • Builtin mic
  • Plenty of ports
  • The Creative Sound Blaster X7 is a jack-of-all-trades USB amp with that offers unrivaled features and connectivity for the money. Sound quality is up there with dedicated DACs. The volume knob is handy for PC desktop use
  • Excellent headphone audio
  • Relatively affordable for such high quality

The editors didn't like

  • Expensive extra
  • Won't replace your receiver
  • Sliding scale performance
  • Better hi-fi amplifiers can be had for the price. No remote control beyond the smartphone app. Build quality isn't as good as you'd expect for a $400 component. The headphone detection circuit is poor
  • And hooking up surround sound is a pain
  • Doesn't have the grunt to power quality speakers
  • Too many “features” screw with a pure soundscape

  • Let down slightly by a flimsy headphone stand and a high price, the Creative Sound Blaster X7 is extremely easy to use, has a plethora of connection options, and is perfect for any beginner audiophile...

  • Excellent headphone audio, Relatively affordable for such high quality
  • Doesn't have the grunt to power quality speakers, Too many “features” screw with a pure soundscape
  • If you're rocking a $400 pair of headphones, this is a potent little power house to drive them at maximum volume...

  • Powerful hardware, Builtin mic, Plenty of ports
  • Expensive extra, Won't replace your receiver, Sliding scale performance
  • At its best, the X7 can be used in conjunction with rock-solid bookshelf speakers or full 5.1, home-theater-in-a-box systems and noticeably improve your experience. It's clear that the X7 is packed with more features than were ever possible in a standa...

  • Firmware and hardware upgradeable, Class leading sound quality, Ridiculous connectivity options, Powerful amps, Easy to use software controls, More features than you know what to do with
  • No remote, Requires software for many features, Some settings require odd software combinations, Headphone stand feels like an afterthought, Love it or hate it shape
  • Testing audio quality is very subjective and cannot be measured without thousands of dollars' worth of equipment. Even then, no two people hear sound quite the same way. Still comparing audio provides a way to determine how clearly you might hear differen...

  • Abstract:  For as long as I've been gaming on PCs, I've been using soundcards to output audio to whichever speaker or headphone setup I had at the time. Not one to depend on onboard solutions, I've always turned towards Creative for their dedicated sound cards, whic...
