Creative Sound BlasterX H7 Gaming Headset Review

Audio/Others by stefan @ 2016-06-17

Despite the fact that we are dealing with a steel reinforced headband, brushed aluminum and large cups which do hold 50mm drivers that should add some weight, the Sound BlasterX H7 headset remains quite light, having about 364g. By including a 24-bit/96kHz USB DAC, Creative is basically offering us a 2-in-1 product, but can be only used when the headset is connected via USB. If the product is plugged in via analog connection, the DAC is bypassed and the audio quality will highly depend on the sound card/CODEC we are working with.

A Closer Look Part III

The reinforced steel headband combines with the aluminum architecture of the earcups mount; these can be fully adjusted so they would fit any head sizes and shapes:

The headband is using quite a bit of memory foam, which is also covered in leatherette for comfort:

On the top area of the headband we will get to see the branding again:

The headset cable ends up with the in-line remote which does also include the 24-bit/96kHz USB DAC; the top area is imitating brushed aluminum and also comes with the microphone on/off switch:

Besides the volume controller, we can also use the remote for taking voice calls, thanks to a separate button:

The dual-mode interfaces can be seen on the other side of the remote (analog jack and USB port); it is pretty obvious that the DAC audio effects and headset LED lighting system won’t be available while having the headset connected on analog:

The “X” sign on each cup is LED-lighted and the effects can be configured via the software interface:
