The headset is based on a C-Media CODEC solution, so we will find familiar names on the GUI such as Xear Voice Clarity, Xear 3D and so on. The GUI is not exactly easy to understand at first and needs to some time for the users to get used to (is built in the same way we have seen with other C-Media based headsets in the past):

The Equalizer section does allow to set a custom EQ signature by using the 10-band interface:

Xear Voice Clarity will add an extra filter in order to increase the clarity of the perceived voices, in any instance such as VOIP, games or other multimedia content:

Xear 3D does not come with additional control and simply emulates 7.1 surround; the emulation is not that great when compared with much more advanced systems found with Creative headsets, sounding a bit distorted:

The Xear Magic Voice will allow the voice to be morphed with different funny effects:

The Lighting menu allows the user to work with the LED effects, by choosing the preferred preset, the LED brightness, effect speed and color:
