Multi-channel Surround
#TeamSpeakers or #TeamHeadphones? Why not both? The Sound Blaster X4 supports up to 7.1 discrete and virtual audio channels, so you won't have to compromise on the way you enjoy your audio. It is also capable of incredible sound performance—acoustics depth and detail—giving a new lease of life to your headphones and speakers.
Also, it offers not just one, but three different surround sound delivery options. Feel free to discover the unique characteristics of each surround option, try them out on different types of media content, and maybe—relive that favorite piece of yours in a whole new light.
Super X-Fi Headphone Holography
More than just surround technology, Super X-Fi is our award-winning audio technology that captures the listening experience of a high-end multi-speaker system in a professional studio to recreates the same expansive experience in headphones. Without missing out on audio cues and immersive ambient effects, you'll be able to hear the details effortlessly from your headphones—especially spoken dialogs in shows—with natural and lifelike soundstage that's deeply immersive and highly realistic, akin to the movie theaters.
Once set up, simply toggle Super X-Fi on and off using the SXFI button located on the device itself.
Sound Blaster Surround Virtualization
We've been in this space for a long time—more than 30 years to boot. With our renowned Surround Virtualization technology, expect top-tier surround processing made possible through our highly optimized algorithms. To put it simply, these algorithms intelligently identify and enhance the spatial information of the incoming audio, and optimize it for the chosen output format, drawing you to where the action is for a complete and immersive auditory experience.
Dolby Digital Live
For Windows users, the Sound Blaster X4 also features Dolby Digital Live for convenient encoding of any audio sources to multi-channel surround sound in real-time, all while transmitting data using only a single optical cable solution for decoding in a home theater system.
Communications
Communicate Smarter with SmartComms Kit
Skip the unnecessary microphone controls, focus on your online meetings, and sound clear in them without the annoying background noise!
Developed to solve common pain points for Windows 10 users on conference apps, our SmartComms Kit simplifies the way you communicate online via a suite of smart communication features. Plus, it works with any headphones with microphone, headsets, and external microphones.
Get unmuted as you speak and mute your microphone automatically without lifting a finger.
Our VoiceDetect feature controls your mute status by voice detection and frees up your hands—and mind—so you can focus on other important things, like a brainstorming session for the next product launch.
Remove unwanted noisy distractions from both ends of a conference call in real time.
NoiseClean-in detects static background noises coming from other users in your voice call, and suppresses the noise while retaining the vocals and spoken dialogs so you can hear them clearly. Put simply, NoiseClean-in cleans up the noises detected from your incoming audio so that their voices are better heard.
NoiseClean-out does the same—but for your own background noise. Now, no one needs to be asked to “go on mute” anymore.
*The NoiseClean features work best for static background noises such as fans, air conditioning, air purifier, humidifiers, vacuum cleaners, hair dryers, electric shavers, and even lawn mowers.
Sound Clearer with CrystalVoice Technology
Improve your voice clarity and be heard clearly with our CrystalVoice technology! The annoying echoes that interfere with your conversations are now a thing of the past with CrystalVoice's Acoustic Echo Cancellation that removes these echoes that goes on a parroting loop.
At the same time, activate Smart Volume inside the software to speak normally without having to shout or whisper—Smart Volume automatically adjusts the loudness of your voice to maintain a consistent volume throughout the conversation, no matter where your microphone (both external and on headset) is angled towards.
There's also the Microphone Equalizer that compensates for your headset's built-in microphone, or your external microphone—whether it is to reduce the harshness of your tonality or to increase the mids for vocal clarity—so you'll sound much clearer and natural to others.
When you're down for some fun, Voice Morph changes your voice into different characters and accents with a list of tuned profiles. Download our Creative app on your Windows PC to access the CrystalVoice feature!
