Sorry! link fixed   Yes doesnt appear to be on the US website. I'm sure it wont be long before it is.

Hi everyone thought you might like to know that the Sound Blaster G5 is 'out' now:   UK website: http://http://uk.creative.com/p/sound-blaster/sound-blasterx-g5?utm_source=eDialog&utm_medium=Mailer&utm_campaign=Mailer_uk_101215   Lets hope someone does a review ASAP!   Cmon people..... 

I emailed creative and got an answer which agrees with what someone else said earlier in the thread, sorry cant remember who! Creative said that they are releasing before Xmas in the UK. Clearly this is not a guarantee and unless they have somehow fixed the issue with windows only recognising...

Hello everyone.   I have been posting on Mad Lust Envies thread about some headphones I am trying out. I bought the soundblaster E5 and I am pretty disappointed to say the least. I am playing Battlefeld 4 and regardless of what settings I use in the SBX control panel I dont get convincing...

hi mindbomb   yes of course.   read the link i provided, the official answer from creative is that it should only ever be seen as a stereo device by windows.

Hi Shrugs...   I have tried everthing to try to get surround option in windows. I did a complete uninstall of the E5 and reinstalled the driver but i have not updated the firmware. I have tried enabling my realtek drivers and various other things but I only get a stereo option in both Windows...

  Hi thanks for the repies guys appreciate it!   I cannot set windows to 5.1/7.1 as I have disabled the realtek drivers, as I didnt want them interfering with the E5. I have option only for headphones. Quality was set midway in windows which I had not realised to now its set to 24/192. TIn...

Hi guys. I recieved the Game-one headset today from Seinnheiser.   AKG k702; AKG k 612Pro; Sennheiser Game-one   Having used the SBX features in my SB-E5 Their appears to be little diference in battlefield 4, the headphones perform better for positional audio in their purest form, without...

Right!!!!!!!!   I have been doing some serious hardcore :/   testing   This morning I took delivarance of the AKG 702; Creative Sound Blaster E5 and FiiO E10 olympus AMP/DAC   I am flabbergasted!!   This headphone seems to perform better in games in its purest form. This confused me at...

Yes that makes complete sense purple angel! Thank you very much for that info!   What a crying shame though! They would make more money if they brought that tech back into the card to offload the cpu. Not going to happen though I suspect.   Yethal I have a Turtle Beach DSS 7.1 original that...

Thank you Mad Lust very good to know, and may I thank you for all your hard work, genuinly, this thread has probably saved me several purchase regrets!!! probably many times over, free hugs!   Good to know about the mixamp too thank you for replying.   PurpleAngel: Yes that more or less...

Thanks for the info Rudyae!   I have spent all day reading this thread and re-reading the first page of reviews. My thoughts have changed a bit now. I somehow missed the AKG K612 Pro's and the K702. The 702's sound they could be the ones for me.   If I went with the AKG 612 I may pair it...

Aha thanks Axel!   After much talking on the telephone with several retailers (both audio and gaming) no one can see the sense in running an amp from an internal soundcard to an AMP such as the Schiit magni and then headphones. The consensus seams to be one or the other other wise there could...

  Thank you for the video Rudyae86!!!! Rumours of a December release?   Also thank you for the Sennheiser info (previous page?) Hmm so the Game one is essentially a PC 350/360?   I have been considering the PC 363HD headset for some time but read conflicing info about it. How does the PC...

Great! Thank you Evshrug soooooooooooooo much! I will read this today!   I think I am slowly narrowing this down. I think 3 viable options so far:   Sound Blaster Z --- Audiotechnica AD700 or Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro 250Ohm   or   Sound Blaster Z --- Schiit Magni (or Vali?) or Focusrite...

Hello all what an awesome thread!! Alas after days of reading I have only scratched the surface, I cant read it all :)   Considering the following:   Audiotechnica AD700 or AD700x Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro 250Ohm   As an audio newbie who has only ever used Razer Kraken 7.1 headset I would...

Will the EK10 power these headphones ok? I will be using primarily for PC gaming   My other option is the Creative Sound Blaster E5   Many thanks in advance!

Hello all :)   I am new around here and I am suffering form information overload   I am considering some headphones for use when PC gaming (probably not much music) and would like to take advatage of the best positional sound I can get for my budget. Headphones I am considering are the...

I am in the same boat as you Eltron, just built a new gaming PC.   What about an external sound card/Amp/ dalby surround all-in-one? If there is such a thing?

Hi again flatmap   Thank you for the link :)   Yes I have read that thread, it is epic!! Thank you Mad Lust!   I have at least decided one thing, that I dont want to utilize my onboard sound.   I guess if I want surround options I must go with a sound card?   Think the X2 is out of my...

thank you flatmap, your not kidding about information overload :)   Does any one know if/when my other message will be posted? Admins ? :(

Sorry i thought it would appear a little rude if I asked for help/advice in the same message.   I am an avid PC gamer and currently enjoy playing Battlefield 4 on PC. I have never really owned a nice set of headphones before. Previous headphones were Turtle beach (I can hear the audiphiles...

Hello all   I have just joined but have been doing research on which PC headphones to buy for a while now...there is so much to learn, I read too much get exhausted and then 'give-up'! I will start a new thread elsewhere about this of course.   Brilliant site you are running here!!  ...
