Great Creative Sound Card!!
I have been using Creative brand sound cards for years, as a fact my first card was a creative sound blaster live! back in 98 and through the years I upgraded my cards be it because tech specs changed or the cards had features I loved and wanted, but the one factor that remains true through all the upgrades is that the sound quality has always been top rate with Creative Sound Blaster, music and movies have a quality that seems to come to life and games are just that much better and pop out at you as sound plays just as important role in immersion of any media experience and this Sound Blaster Z card does not fail at any of it.Pros:- Great sound quality- Easy installation- Easy to use controls- Separate line out and headphone jacks on the backCons:- Lacks some features that the older cards had- 5.1 sound and not 7.1 surroundOk so the cons are not much for cons considering the great sound quality you get but I did enjoy the other features other cards had like the Xfi or Audigy ZS series carried and this did not make much sense to me since this Z series card brags about quad core audio processing but had less features than previous cards. If you are considering this card and you enjoy gaming this card is awesome and a great buy you will not be disappointed in the sound quality with its deep rich bass and awesome highs.

A whole new generation of Sound Blaster
We have combined the legendary audio quality of Sound Blaster and our high-performance wireless speakers into one revolutionary product. The Sound BlasterAxx’s range of products will not only transform the way you experience your music, movies and games, but also how you communicate in your voice calls. Together with its accompanying software suite, Sound BlasterAxx range of products brings to you a whole new level of engagement and interactivity with your devices.
Voice communications
Sound BlasterAxx’s built-in microphone, combined with our advanced CrystalVoice™ technology, lets you communicate in a whole new way. You’re no longer bound to your computer seat nor have a phone stuck to your ear during voice calls. What’s more, all communication is maintained in unbelievable clarity.
You’re “in focus”
There’s also a Voice Focus¹ feature, where you can customize the acoustic zone, so that only your voice is heard when you speak within this zone. You won’t have to worry about your kids screaming or dog barking if they’re out of the focus area!
You’re always heard
With the Smart Volume Management feature enabled, your voice can be picked up even when you’re speaking from the other end of the room - with no drop in volume or voice quality perceived by the listener. You’re free to move around while still engaged in a conversation!
Only noise-free, crystal clear calls
Enjoy crystal clear conversations even in noisy environments. CrystalVoice’s noise reduction and echo cancellation features mean you’ll always be heard clearly as unwanted background noise such as that from a nearby vacuum cleaner or hairdryer is being eliminated.
Customize your movie, music and game audio
Experience superb audio realism and stunning 3D surround effects in your movie and gaming audio with SBX Pro Studio.
No more rude shocks
Never miss anything again when you’re watching your movies, or fall off your seat at an unexpected explosion. Adjust settings that let you hear barely audible movie dialog, or conversely, subdue sudden high-volume events so that you won’t wake the whole family in the middle of the night!
Audio control from your smart device or computer
With the free Sound Blaster Central app¹ for iOS and Android™, you’ll get extensive audio control right in the palm of your hand! Use it to manage all your Bluetooth® devices, adjust and control Sound BlasterAxx’s audio settings and even watch videos that’ll teach you how to get most out of your app and your Sound BlasterAxx.
Go ahead, have fun!
Take on another persona and surprise someone in a voice call! CrystalVoice FX enables your voice to be altered on-the-fly with a variety of effects, creating interesting accents, or be made to sound like a completely different person.
For PC users, we’ve included the “What U Hear” plugin for the Sound BlasterAxx Control Panel, which lets you record a mix of your Karaoke track and your voice as you sing along with the track!
