Hi there guys i have a Sound Blaster ZXR with the sennheiser Game one headset + Beyerdynamic MMX300 + Beyerdynamic DT770 pro headphones and i use them for 80% gaming and 10% each for movies and music.
Ive been looking at the Sound Blaster X3 G6 AE9 and EVGA Nu. Am i wasting my money or will i hear a difference over my ZXR ?
I didd just try the Arctis Pro wireless as they were on sale for £205 and imo they dont sound as good as any of my ones i have and for all the reviewers who say they sound great with the 7.1 on that just makes me think they are all being paid as they sound just as bad as any other fake surround setting you can use.
Or is there a better headset i can buy ? ( i do need a mic). I have also had the sennheiser HD650's which sounded great but i didnt use them too much as i needed a mic so i sold them.
The reason why i have the game one and MMX300 is i wear the open back in the day and closed back at night as wife has super hearing.
Would the AKG702 or 712 and DT990 Pro sound much better than what i have ?

So i got a G6 a couple of days ago and i can confirm it does not sound as good as the zxr with headphones in either games or music. I will say seeing as i paid around £220 a few years ago for the zxr and the g6 is around £120 and it sounds almost as good it is great value for money and would be great for a console player but i will be sticking with my zxr for now.
