Sound BlasterX G6 or Sound Blaster X3

[zo1d]

Hi,

Looking to purchase a new external sound card to power head phones and external speakers (Audio Pro Addon T14), will be used mainly for listening to music and closely followed by gaming, which of the following products would you recommend (both priced the same)...?

Sound BlasterX G6 & Sound Blaster X3

Or are there other sound cards that I should be looking at?

Thanks in advance!
