    ​Great to hear!  Do you have the X1A, or a newer X1?  I still have an original Japan version that I love.

    [REVIEW] Aurisonics ASG-2 & 2.5 (with many comparisons)

    ​I am completely sold on the hybrid IEM's for drumming.  I wish the 2.5 had better isolation.  I have a custom UE11 pro that is perfect except it lacks a little bass.  The UE11 sounds absolutely fantastic through the Creative E5 for audiophile listening.  I am going to try the Harmony and...

    [REVIEW] Aurisonics ASG-2 & 2.5 (with many comparisons)

    ​Yes the E5 and the 2.5 is a great combo!  I bought a second E5 for my truck, which in unbelievable.  I messed around with the 2.5 through my drum monitor, sounds great also.  The kick and the toms sound fantastic.  If I can EQ the cymbals to be a little less harsh, I may keep using them as my...

    [REVIEW] Aurisonics ASG-2 & 2.5 (with many comparisons)

    I decided to get some custom IEM's for drumming, so my ASG 2.5's are up for sale.  I purchased them new about a year ago.  They are like new, black with the serial number on the earpiece; never been sent in to Aurisonics for repair.  They are about as close to new as you will find; I have the...

    ​Try working with the EQ and settings.  I didn't like the stock onkyo player at first.  But after I played with the settings, and a lot with the EQ, I now use the stock player.  I use the X1 paired with a creative E5 amp in my car and I absolutely love the X1 it!

    ​If you don't mind spending a bunch of money.  Ultimate Ears, reference model I think, can make each IEM to different specs for each ear.

    ​Remember you can always control the E5 from your phone via Bluetooth even if it is not the source of the sound.  The soundblaster control panel can be controlled via Bluetooth independently from the source.  I'm not sure if the PS4 is Bluetooth or not.  I typically connect my player to the E5...

    Creative Sound blaster E5 - Headphone amp + USB DAC with OTG + Toslink + aptX + recording + more.

    As some of you know, I have been a big fan of the E5 for a long time.  And I believe the E5 and ASG 2.5 is an amazing combination; although my custom UE 11 pro IEM's do sound a little better.  I love it even more now that I am using it hooked up to my car stereo.  I have tried cd's, and every...

    Creative Sound blaster E5 - Headphone amp + USB DAC with OTG + Toslink + aptX + recording + more.

    I bought a new truck and put in a new sound system.  I was kind of bummed about not having a good EQ.  Then I remembered I could hook up my Onkyo X1 player and the E5 to the system.  I control the EQ on the E5 via Bluetooth from my phone.  Pretty sweet!

    Blackhawk2k 1. You have to install the creative software on everything you will use it with, computer, phone, player, tablet. 2.  Make sure the E5 has been updated, one of the updates was for the double tap turn off. 3.  The double tap did work for me to turn off the charge mode. 4.  You...

    To say the E5 does not have high quality sound is ridiculous.  The E5 is a great device.  Like many others, I had the mojo and E5, and I sold my mojo and kept the E5.  Every time I listened to the mojo, it lasted about 15 minutes then I was right back to the E5.  I recorded my drum set and then...

    Basically it boosts the bass frequency.  I usually have it set about 60-70Hz, but some go lower.

    I believe the E5's EQ is on the chip, and not just a program like all the other EQ apps.  I believe the E5's EQ sounds better than all the other programs I tried.  And the other settings are in the same place as the EQ.  I've had best results with the source flat, and use the E5's EQ.   Also...

    Creative Sound blaster E5 - Headphone amp + USB DAC with OTG + Toslink + aptX + recording + more.

      Bypass the DAC on the E5 by using the line in on the E5.  Usually, I turn off the EQ on the source and use the E5's EQ.  The moon audio black dragon IC is part of the magic, I tried 6 others and all took away from the sound.  The Onkyo X1 player I usually use has a real good DAC.  I've only...
