What is included in AX Gaming Audio G6?
The AX Gaming Audio G6 bundle includes 2 main products, with one of each supplied in the finishes shown below. Product accessories and the full connection guide are listed further down.
INCLUDED COMPONENT 1 · QUANTITY 1
beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO 250 Ohm open-back headphones
The DT 990 PRO provides the listening side of this bundle: an open-back studio headphone for checking a mix, editing audio and enjoying a spacious stereo presentation at your desk. This is the 250 Ohm version with a permanently attached coiled cable.
- Open-back acoustics: The vented earcups let sound pass in both directions. They suit a quiet room and allow awareness of the surroundings; they do not isolate outside noise or prevent headphone audio from leaking into a nearby microphone.
- 250 Ohm dynamic drivers: The published frequency response is 5–35,000 Hz and nominal sound pressure level is 96 dB. Use the bundle's dedicated headphone amplifier and choose gain for the actual headphone connection.
- Comfort for desk sessions: The over-ear fit combines soft velour cushions with an adjustable padded headband. Replaceable ear pads and headband padding make routine wear items serviceable.
- Fixed 3 m coiled cable: The cable terminates in a 3.5 mm stereo plug and includes a screw-on 6.35 mm adapter. Use the connector size required by the amplifier; this stock cable is a single-ended connection.
- Exact model and construction: The DT 990 PRO is made in Germany and has a black frame with grey velour pads. It has no built-in microphone, wireless connection or detachable mini-XLR cable; those connection details differ from the DT 990 PRO X.
In AX Gaming Audio G6, the 250 Ohm DT 990 PRO connects to the G6's front 3.5 mm headphone socket. Remove the screw-on 6.35 mm adapter for this connection and use the gain range specified for 250 Ohm headphones.

INCLUDED COMPONENT 2 · QUANTITY 1
Creative Sound BlasterX G6 gaming DAC and Xamp — Original micro-USB
The original Sound BlasterX G6 combines an external USB sound card, DAC and dedicated headphone amplifier. In this bundle it drives the DT 990 PRO 250 Ohm headphones and provides a choice between direct stereo playback and supported game-oriented processing.
- Xamp headphone amplification: The discrete headphone amplifier supports 16–600 Ohm headphones and has a 1 Ohm output impedance. Creative specifies high gain for 150–600 Ohm loads, covering the included 250 Ohm DT 990 PRO.
- High-resolution playback: The DAC is rated at 130 dB dynamic range. PC Direct Mode supports PCM up to 32-bit / 384 kHz and DSD64 / DSD128 over PCM, subject to the player, driver and source format.
- Gaming processing: Supported modes include SBX processing, virtual 7.1 surround and Scout Mode. Direct Mode bypasses processing, so SBX and Scout Mode are unavailable while it is active.
- Inputs and outputs: Front sockets provide a 3.5 mm headphone/headset connection and a dedicated 3.5 mm microphone input. Rear combo sockets support analogue line-in / mini-TOSLINK optical input and line-out / optical output.
- Original USB revision: This bundle uses the SB1770 original micro-USB version, with a supplied micro-USB cable. It is USB-powered, has no internal battery and is distinct from the later USB-C revision.
- Optical decoding and platform limits: Dolby Digital decoding requires an appropriate optical source. Processing, software controls and voice-chat functions depend on the host platform; use a compatible Windows PC for the full Creative software workflow.
- Compact desktop hardware: The G6 measures 111 × 70 × 24 mm and weighs about 144 g. Its volume control and gain/mode controls sit within reach beside the keyboard.
- Microphone provision: The DT 990 PRO has no built-in microphone. A separate suitable microphone is required for voice chat; the G6's 3.5 mm microphone input is not an XLR input and does not supply 48 V phantom power.
The G6 drives the headphones through its 3.5 mm output. Its high-gain setting covers the included 250 Ohm model; begin with volume low. Choose either supported gaming processing or Direct Mode according to the session, since the two signal paths are not simultaneous.

Connect the original G6 and select the right listening mode
- Connect the original G6 to a suitable computer USB port using its supplied micro-USB cable. Install compatible Creative software and drivers for the desired Windows controls.
- Unscrew the DT 990 PRO's 6.35 mm adapter and plug the headphones' 3.5 mm connector into the G6 headphone socket, not the separate microphone socket.
- Turn the level down before selecting the high-gain range for the 250 Ohm headphones. Choose the G6 as the playback device in the operating system and application, then raise the volume gradually.
- Use the supported SBX or Scout settings for a gaming session, or enable Direct Mode for the bypass path. Direct Mode disables those effects; high-resolution playback also depends on the source file and player configuration.
- For optical playback, connect a compatible source with the supplied optical cable and provide USB power. Dolby Digital decoding requires a compatible optical signal.
The full software configuration is intended for a compatible Windows PC. Original G6 support also includes compatible Mac and console connections, but features differ: PS4 uses USB audio with optical required for Dolby Digital; Xbox One uses optical plus separate USB power without voice communications; Nintendo Switch uses supported docked USB or analogue connections with the relevant power arrangement. Do not assume identical game/chat functions on every platform.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in AX Gaming Audio G6?
One pair of DT 990 PRO 250 Ohm headphones and one original Sound BlasterX G6 DAC/headphone amplifier. This bundle contains two main products; a microphone, boom arm and computer are not included.
Which G6 connection and gain setting match the headphones?
Connect the headphones' 3.5 mm plug to the G6 headphone output after removing the 6.35 mm adapter. Creative's high-gain range is 150–600 Ohm, so it covers this 250 Ohm headphone model.
Is this the USB-C Sound BlasterX G6?
The included G6 is the original micro-USB model. Its USB connector and supplied cable follow that original version.
Can I use Direct Mode and virtual surround together?
Direct Mode bypasses the G6's audio processing. SBX effects and Scout Mode are unavailable in that mode, so select the playback mode that matches your listening task.
Does this bundle isolate outside sound or include voice chat?
The DT 990 PRO is open-back and has no built-in microphone. Sound can pass through its earcups, and voice chat requires a suitable microphone purchased separately.
Does every platform support the same G6 features?
No. USB or optical connection options, software controls, processing and voice-chat support vary by platform. The original G6 supports a full Creative software workflow on compatible Windows PCs; console and Mac use should be planned around the required connections and supported functions.
