X-Plus Mode
Only when combined with the Sound BlasterX H5, this mode allows you to change the sound signature of the H5 headset when it's connected to the G1 soundcard on a hardware level for an unfair advantage over your opponents through our ever expanding list of supported games!
X-Plus mode accentuates the audio for things that really do matter in a competitive game while playing down emphasis on things that do not. Hear footsteps, gun shots and other audio cues clearer and better without the distraction of ambient noises.
Best of all, the settings are programmed straight to the G1 so you can enjoy this setting wherever the tournament is without having to worry about software installations while on the go.
