I got a Sound Blaster ZX for Christmas, and I'm considering to return it and get something like a FiiO E7 in stead.
How is the sound in E7 compared to ZX?

I would say to return the Sound blaster Zx and get the Sound Blaster Z (SB1500), $80.
It seems kind of immoral to return a Christmas present for the money
I've never thought that, that's why they make gift receipts. If you don't like the gift you got, why should you be stuck with it? Sure the gesture is nice, but I'm sure the person giving you the gift wants you to have something that you will be happy with. Besides, sometimes the best intentions sometimes aren't backed up by the most knowledge. If a family member bought you a pair of Beats, wouldn't you go return them for something you like more? (if you like Beats, then think of something you don't like instead )

It might come down to the headphones being used with the Zx or E7.
The E7's headphone amplifier is very low impedance (around 1-Ohm?), which better then the Zx's 22-Ohm impedance.
So if I'm buying headphones with high impedance, I should get another DAC?
I don't watch a lot of movies on my computer. Do you know if the E7 supports OSX? I have a Macbook Air which I would like to use it with if I buy it. Why does the impedance need to be 8 times as high on the headphone as on the sound source? I have yet to decide which headphones to get.
