Overview
Hear your games in full 7.1 virtual surround sound! The Sound BlasterX H6 is a high performance USB gaming headset that delivers powerful audio, whether you're on PC, PS4, Xbox, or Nintendo Switch.
Enjoy loud but accurate audio with its custom-tuned 50mm Neodymium drivers, along with Sound Blaster's full suite of powerful audio enhancements, including Scout Mode that lets you hear your enemies before they hear you! The headset also features a detachable noise-reducing ClearComms microphone for in-game voice comms. Lastly, the Sound BlasterX H6 also features three professionally-tuned hardware EQ profiles, breathable and replaceable fabric earpads for comfort, and customizable Aurora Reactive RGB Lighting.
Loud and Proud
Prepare for some seriously powerful audio. The Sound BlasterX H6 has its audio pumped out through professionally-tuned 50mm Neodymium magnet drivers. These drivers are optimized to deliver the impact and power necessary for true immersion into the game environment, while at the same time maintaining the precision and subtlety needed to reproduce tiny, crucial audio details such as footsteps and reload sounds.
Customize and Enhance Your Audio
The Sound BlasterX H6 taps on Sound Blaster's 30 years of audio processing experience. Users can use the downloadable Sound Blaster Connect software for PC to apply instant audio enhancements - such as Surround, Crystalizer, and Bass - and tune it precisely so the audio sounds perfect.
The Sound BlasterX H6 also features three professionally-tuned hardware EQ settings that you can toggle through even without the software.
All Sound, All Around
Immerse yourself in your PC gaming with the Sound BlasterX H6's 7.1 virtual surround sound capabilities! Perfect for first person shooters, open world games, and Battle Royale environments, the Sound BlasterX H6 utilizes Sound Blaster's proprietary Surround audio enhancement to ensure you'll feel like you're right in the middle of all the action.
Clear Communications with Teammates
Perfect for team-based games, the Sound BlasterX H6's detachable noise-reducing ClearComms microphone is optimized to ensure your teammates will hear you loud and clear. The headset also features mic monitoring, so you can hear how your voice sounds over the mic. Lastly, the ClearComms microphone also has a red LED that indicates when you have muted it.
Comfortable for Long Hours
The Sound BlasterX H6 is designed to be comfortable for long hours. Its detachable earcups are made of breathable mesh fabric that allows heat to dissipate easier than leather cups, and the built in memory foam conforms to the shape of your head.
Not Tight, Just Right
We designed the Sound BlasterX H6 to have a clamping force of less than 600g. It's the optimal balance that ensures the headset sits securely enough on your head and provides a good enough fit for bass, yet isn't uncomfortable.
Listen to the Outside World
The Ambient Monitoring feature lets you to listen to your surroundings while keeping the headset on. The sound of your surroundings won't be transmitted through comms to teammates.
Controls at Your Fingertips
Controls are easily within reach, and are intentionally placed on the left earcup, so you never need to take your right hand off the mouse when you're in-game.

IGN
Frankly, the Sound BlasterX H6 is a no-brainer. Priced at just $80, it is a little less expensive than the bigger brother X7 (and honestly, it doesn’t look like you’re missing much). For that price, you get great audio performance in a very, very comfortable package. And it’s versatile enough to work with any platform – great if you switch gears from PC to PS4 to Xbox.
