Creative - Sound Blaster GC7 Next Gen Gaming USB Soundcard

The pros and cons of this device really depend on your use case. For me i just didnt want to buy a soundcard for my pc seeing ats this made much more sense for me. PROS:Sound quality is fantastic for gaming! A wide sound stage with great separation allows you to locate enemies in fps quicker and gets you a more immersive experience. It can drive the higher impedence headphones like the hd6xx with ease.A ton of settings like scout mode and sxfi sound pretty good but i just setup a couple sound profiles for rpg's and fps and that's enough for me. The mixamp dial is reaaaally convenient when you cant hear your squad mates or the game is too loud, 2 seconds and its perfect. I really love the way this thing works. 4 Programable macro buttons which can do anything from a certain command macro to opening up a program. Also has rgb on said macro buttons. The mic amp sounds fantastic and has a bunch of modes to improve the performance of most mics. Also has a voice changer if your into that. The software has a ton of customization options where you can literally spend hours fine tuning your setup and it works somewhat smoothly once you get it up and running. it also has bluetooth which i havent used but really should mess around with. Cons: Build quality is somewhat on the light side but the touchpoints like the dials and buttons feel solid enough where i wont have to worry about them falling apart. Software: the setup like you've probably seen in the other reviews of this item leaves a lot to be desired. You have to download 3 apps one on your phone and 2 on your pc while making 2 different accounts. Plus its somewhat buggy but i like the product and performance enough where ill only knock off half a star for this and nothing more. 4.5/5 Tldr: if you've been looking for an amp for gaming this one will do the trick and wont break the bank. Sure you can spend $1000's more but if we're being honest you probably wont notice the difference ingame.

I consider myself as a gamer and audiophile, While having a Focal Utopia speakers in my living room, I chose Audeze LCD-GX as my main gaming headset. I was looking for a solution that will allow me to switch between my casual desktop speakers and the headset, while giving a drive & quality boost to my Audeze as it's a shame to use such headphones with my onboard soundcard. So basically - the gc7 exceeded my expectations, it sounds great, gives you a proper control of the sound and even have 4 programmable buttons, by default one of them is switching between outputs which was awesome. + I was very impressed by the Scout Mode as it's giving an advantage (hearing steps and hints louder and giving the sound more 'dramatic' feel). + Bass, Treble, Mic, Surround effect controls on the fly + variety of inputs and outputs + Solid Creative software - Super SXFI sounds dull even with the ear scanning mobile software - A upper metal plate would bump up the design that feels somewhat 'plasticy'

Super Cool. Sometimes. The overall control and sound quality is very good overall. Accidently discovered you can output to two sources with this thing, which I thought was something Microsoft would send assassins to kill you for, but output from SPDIF and Analog at the same time is just something you can make this thing do if you want. Also, maybe I really like my music loud but 250ohm headphones just don't quite get loud enough, but the sound quality is hard to beat when paired with the overall functionality. I really wanted an overall Gaming PC Audio Handler, which this thing is. USB from PC. Fiber Optic cable to my 5.1 speaker system or headphones. I have struggled to find a product from any other company that's really meant to interface with a PC like Creative's. The major drawback to Creative products is the finicky and not very consistent software and drivers. I had a Creative X3 previously and it sorta just stopped doing more than stereo. Not sure why, but it was fairly old. Throughout my experience with it I had to uninstall/reinstall drivers several times to restore functionality. With the GC7, I've already discovered that using the Super X-Fi app immediately makes the Creative app completely unresponsive. Not a major problem. But weird and dumb. Still, very hard to replace if you don't want to get weird and turn into an actual "audiophile." DAC/AMP/Software package all in one with only 2 cables is pretty good.

use it with gaming pc and work laptop via a basic usb docking device. overall its great sound effects for games, for music i put it on flat and it sound good . equlizer on board is very convenient. Main purpose was to avoid having to physically change the connection between the gaming pc and the work laptop, now all i ahve to do is plug in the dock to the laptop and everything works, it is connected to the usb dock and sometimes this causes the gc7 to turn off , that appears to be the dock fault but anyhow its easy to resolve by disconnecting dock from lapotp. Ovearll for the price i think this device is unbeatable .

The audio sets a whole different mood and makes all the difference in the world.

Une excellente carte son qui accomplit parfaitement sa tâche, sincèrement ! Son installation rapide et son interface intuitive permettent de l'adapter facilement à des appareils variés tels que téléphone, console, télévision et PC. La gestion et la qualité du son du casque ainsi que du micro sont des atouts indéniables. Le logiciel fourni, téléchargeable depuis le site de Creative App, offre une personnalisation poussée avec différentes options pour les touches personnalisables, les couleurs, et la gestion du son, notamment des effets déformateurs de voix, de la profondeur des basses, et des aigus, etc. Après plus d'un an d'utilisation, je n'ai rien à redire sur la qualité de cette carte son, elle accomplit parfaitement son travail. Un investissement qui continue de répondre à mes attentes.

A los 5 meses falló, y ni Amazon ni los de Soundblaster se hicieron cargo de la garantía, se echaban el problema uno al otro, así que consideren que si lo van a comprar, recuerden que después de la devolución hacia Amazon no contarán con garantía alguna.

This was the my best DAC from Creative and J love it. You can adjust the sound as you wish. Thank you creative.
