Creative Sound Blaster X7 - Detailed Review & Impressions

I can't seem to control voice mix on ps4. I turned down the Bluetooth slider but it has no effect. It seems I had to turn on output device to TV or amplifier to hear voice chat from others. Very confused.
I have boom pro plugged into a splitter which goes in to mic and headphone ports.
If I scroll through my PS4 menu bar fast the sound distorts and I sound really crackly on mic my friend said.
Is the power button LED blue or white? If it's white then it's no longer paired to the transmitter. You'll need to hold the power button until it lights blue and then it should reconnect to the transmitter (Robot lady will say Device connected)

Ohhhhhhhhh. Weird how I could still chat though just not control the volume. That was when I put output to TV/amp I think. Either way works now thank you.

Do you guys ever use the bass boost feature, or just eq the bass? Using the bass boost around 20-30% I just get a constant rumble that sounds like background noise.

Drives all my planars just fine. It's a pretty powerful amp.

I don't use it for that very reason.

I'd definitely choose something warmer, bolder, bigger. I can only imagine how thin and dry the HD800 would sound off the X7.

Thanks for the input. I'm looking at a Schiit Valhalla 2 atm.

Boost, sounds like an earthquake going off in the distance on the games I've tried it with.

I use the bass boost at about 20%, nice rumble for games.
I have the E-MU XM7 Speakers, can anyone recommend a decent sub to pair with these and the X7? The environment is a rectangular room (i'm at one end) that's an office/library space, so I don't need to rumble the walls down.

Showing my intelligence again here. Was getting really annoyed with the power button not working, knew it was an historical issue. Then realised I'm on the very original firmware, the update I did was for the control panel not the unit -_-

Has anyone figured out how to deal with the "auto-off" problem? I've got it hooked up to my PS4 (and it sounds amazing) but the X7 powers itself off after not too long, forcing me to go and turn it back on. It's frustrating.
