▼Notice of release of Sound BlasterX G6 (USB C VERSION)
Standard gaming DAC “Sound BlasterX G6” integrated into USB-C model
The Micro USB Type-B model released in August 2018 has been discontinued and will be sold while supplies last.
[Release Commemoration]For a limited time, the direct sales store also offers purchase benefits of OWS earphones as a gift.
Creative Media Co., Ltd. has reorganized the DAC lineup of the “Sound BlasterX G6”, which has been supported as a standard gaming DAC since its release in August 2018, discontinued production of the conventional Micro USB Type-B model, and will release a new model “Sound BlasterX G6 (USB C VERSION)” that uses a USB Type-C interface from mid-February 2026.
Due to this reorganization, the Micro USB Type-B version “Sound BlasterX G6” released in August 2018 will be discontinued and will be discontinued while supplies last. From now on, we will only be rolling out the “Sound BlasterX G6 (USB C VERSION)” which uses a USB Type-C interface.
“Sound BlasterX G6” is a DAC that has continued to be supported by users mainly focused on FPS due to its “Scout Mode” that emphasizes enemy footsteps and environmental sounds in games, and its excellent sense of positioning that makes it easy to grasp the direction of sound.
The new model “Sound BlasterX G6 (USB C VERSION)” follows the basic design and audio performance that have been praised by the previous model, but by changing the USB interface of the product itself to USB Type-C, it is a model suitable for the current connection environment.
This product supports 7.1ch virtual surround sound and high-resolution audio playback when connected to a Windows PC via USB. With the PlayStation(R)5, by using a USB connection and an optical digital connection, you can also use Dolby Audio playback and the “GameVoice Mix” function that allows you to adjust the balance between game sound and voice chat audio. It also supports USB connection with Nintendo Switch(TM) 2, allowing it to be used in a wide range of gaming environments.
“Sound BlasterX G6 (USB C VERSION)” is a USB DAC that can be used for a wide range of purposes, from users who want to appreciate and enjoy FPS and other game play to users who want to enjoy high-resolution audio playback on their PC.
