Mine as well. With that being said, I also have HD800s. Upgrading the op-amps really brought some life to the sound. The nice thing about going that route, is there is one less device on your desk.

Have you thought about trying a full set of Sparkos op-amps?

Don't give them any ideas!

Have a slightly used Creative Super X-Fi dongle for sale. Comes with original box and accessories. Also will include USB-A to USB-C adapter. Looking for $80 shipped to the states.

I haven't compared them to Bursons either, but Andrew at Sparkos is great to deal with. When I ordered mine, he gave me a deal on ordering the whole package. Might want to reach out and see if there is a discount for getting both duals and singles.

I second the Sparkos. Use them in my X7 and they're great.

Oh bummer. I tried my Super X-Fi dongle, but ended up going back to my X7. The X-Fi was almost too out of head sounding for me compared to SBX. Talking to my friends on discord while playing Warzone made them sound like they were right in front of me. It was to a point where it got so...

Whoa, hadn't seen that yet. Is this supposed to be the successor the X7?

Looks like that code expired yesterday, unfortunately :(

Tried it out a little bit last night on some music and YouTube videos. Pretty impressed with how this little dongle can drive my HD800 just fine. On YouTube videos with Super X-Fi enabled it sounds a bit reverby to me compared to SBX on my X7, but music doesn't sound bad. I didn't have a chance...

Good to know. I just got my Super X-Fi yesterday, but haven't had a chance to compare with my X7, yet. Has anybody tried double amping a Super X-Fi dongle with an X7?

That's my question as well. I haven't thought to email Creative. I figured someone here would know though.

From what I've read, most people seem to like it better than SBX. I've never really truly been happy with the rear cues of SBX. The sound quality using SBX is definitely one of the best I've heard, but always get the itch to try something new.

Been awhile since I've been on here, but itching to try Super X-Fi. Right now i have a Sound Blaster X7 w/ full set of Sparkos op amps, powering a pair of HD800. So, what's the better buy: X3 or Super X-Fi dongle? I use a wireless Modmic, so I'm leaning towards the dongle as I won't need the...

Was really hoping it would be in the sub $900 price range. You can find a used pair of HD800 for 6-700, so it's a bit of a wash, especially when the 8xx won't be out until end of the year.

I just got an email from Sparkos that had a 20% off coupon code site wide if you haven't ordered already.

Sparkos full set. SS3602 and SS3601 If you email Andrew and your nice, he'll usually give you deal when you buy the whole set. https://sparkoslabs.com/discrete-op-amps/

Have you looked in the X7 control panel to make sure each channel is set to equal volume?

I don't know what the root cause is, but hasn't happened to me in awhile. What I've done is disable any other audio device in windows. Disable onboard audio, any monitors that might be using HDMI audio input, etc. Haven't had an incident since I've done this. I also try to not turn the X7 on...

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's normal. Direct mode on the X7 will do the same thing.

Do you prefer open or closed headphones? Out of that list I would go with the PC37X, but the Hyper X Clouds are a decent option for closed back at their price point. I have not tried the other two options listed. I'd skip the HD6XX for primarily FPS gaming.

I like the game. Gunplay and audio are great, but the maps are much bigger than previous COD games. As they add more maps, and hopefully tweak some things, I think it will get better and better.

You can connect your phone via bluetooth to an X7, and listen to audio from it while playing anything else simultaneously.

A few things off the top of my head, mostly just design enhancements -A better volume knob that actually has a physical range of adjustment. I think the X7 is just plastic. A heavy metal knob would be nice. -More space for op amps and still be able to use the stock dust cover -SX Fi and SBX...

I don't have any experience using it on those headphones, but want to say that I love my wireless modmic for my HD800. So much better than my old wire mod mic, and worth the extra cost of admission IMO.
