Hey, seen this was just released and bought to try.
http://uk.creative.com/p/sound-blaster/sound-blaster-omni-surround-5-1
I bought this as I was trying to combat the Mic with headphones issue.
Current setup is.
Aune MKII Se -> Headphones also line out to Marrantz amp -> speakers
For mic I am Using a Beyerdynamic dac.
I thought I could get rid of both, and use the inbuild mic of the omni as a mic solution.
Sadly, the mic is sub par, borderline useles.
Been trying it on mumble with a few mates and in some games. No matter what the setting, everyone was complaining that is sounds like im talking down a cardboard tube.
Maybe I have been spoiled with the Dual Cardoid on the MMX300 I thought, so I plugged in a 99p one from ebay and all was clear again.
The unit itself is well built and comes bundles with a remote and rca - jack cable.
Sound wise, I feel it sounds great. some of the sbx features are real nice and the audio side I cannot fault.
Annoying things.
The volume knob only controls windows sounds.
The line out at the rear only works if headphones unplugged.
overall I am disappointed and shall be returning it once creative get back to me.
Might just keep the Aune and buy a Blue Snowball or simiilar.
