"X1 is a surprisingly potent DAC+AMP dongle. Its power output matches my Fiio KA3 in measurement and real-world performance. It means that X1 can drive most portable gears to a satisfying level with crisp transients and dynamic contrasts."

"The Sound Blaster X1 is a solid device allowing you to use your analog wired headphones with modern hardware. I liked the device’s small and light form factor and how sturdy it was. Pressing the Super X-Fi button drastically enhances the audio quality, and the result is amazing. If you have a wired headset you would like to keep, then this is a device you should consider."

The Sound Blaster X1 might not be the best DAC/amp for audiophiles, and it might not be the cheapest DAC/amp around, but it straddles the line between both with some pretty enticing points. It’s affordable, for one, at just S$99 or US$69.99. It’s incredibly small and pocketable too. It gives you the ability to use Super X-Fi with everything. And it works with so many things. Whether you want to plug it into your PC, your MacBook, your iPad, your PS5 or your Nintendo Switch, it all works. It’s a great little DAC/amp that’s affordable and gives plenty of power for most IEMs and headphones out there. Good job Creative.

The Sound Blaster X1 DAC dongle combines the features of both Play! 4 and SXFI Amp, upgrades your existing audio interface to a professional-grade DAC for quality music enjoyment, plus teleconferencing functions that will definitely benefit telecommuters who spend a great deal of time on calls. Although the SXFI Amp has slightly better specs on the DAC, the audio difference is not noticeable during casual comparison.

Excellent clear sound.

I use Aurvana Live! SE with GC7 and am so glad with my purchase. I did not know that SXFI technology will be so immersive and so mesmerizing. I have been spoiled by the SXFI tech. Movies, Music and Games all come alive and sound super amazing, just the way they were meant to sound by the artists and the engineers. Thank you, awesome folks at Creative!.

Amazing sound and bass! I highly recommend!

Got these as a package deal with the SXFI amp. And even without the amp (which is great, btw), these are EASILY my favorite pair of wired headphones. Great sound, wide frequency response, very comfortable (can be wore with glasses for hours without pinching), lightweight, surprisingly sturdy given the weight and design (not to mention, have suffered a couple of nasty cable snags that would have gutted other headphones). Only caveat is there's no hinges for folding, so they don't travel real well (but are so light, I really have no problem storing them around my neck). Currently on sale so I'm seriously considering picking up another pair as a spare

Wow. New there would be a big improvement, but this mage a HUGE one! Use headphone primarily for music on my laptop, and will never doubt my decision to purchase this item. I have partial hearing loss in one ear, but even so I have no difficulty in hearing the total improvement. Thank You, Creative,

Sound Blaster X1 changes your experience with quality sound. Worth buying and it's real value for money.
