There’s something gratifyingly nostalgic about donning a pair of headphones with Creative Lab’s Sound Blaster name on the side. Though the company has been quiet in recent years, there was an age when this brand ruled the roost. With dreams of Sound Blastering my way through Quake firmly in mind, I was eager to see what Creative has been up to lately.
The Sound BlasterX H6 (See it on Amazon) sits in the middle of the BlasterX line, a somewhat more affordable alternative to the top-of-the-line Sound BlasterX H7. That said, the basic specs are essentially the same no matter which set of cans you wear. Built around 50mm Neodymium drivers, they seem well-poised to move large volumes of air for beefy bass in games and music.
