Sound Blaster: X-Fi Titanium Review

Sound Blaster: X-Fi Titanium Review

Out of the depths, a beast emerges from Creative Labs new line of product in the Sound Blaster FATAL1TY Professional series: the Blaster X-Fi Titanium. Throughout gaming and applications, one thing everyone always tries to make sure is if the sound card is what they’re looking for. Sadly, it’s hard to come on to a sound card that has everything, is well rounded, and just overall fits the needs for the price you pay. Heralded as the only choice for gamers, the X-Fi Titanium delivers exceptional quality, accelerated audio for unbelievable performance, and a mesmerizing amount of versatility for gamers and enthusiasts alike.

Blaster X-Fi Titanium

The outside of the box is a sheer red. Probably because red is most definitely the form of extreme urgency, power, and usually sheer rage. Along with a picture of Jonathan Wendel to the front, the side of the case has direct word from Wendel on how there’s nothing faster and better than the X-Fi. The box is pretty simple, but elegant and sophisticated at the same time. Something that really has an effect on first site.

Blaster X-Fi Titanium Packaging

The beastly black overlay of the X-Fi Titanium really packs the word of “hardcore” all in the ears. The inside of the box also includes the drivers, special offers, and game discounts on the bottom of the card. Turning to the card itself, we can see all the I/O connector goods that make it what it is: the microphone line in, 5 speakers and headphones line in, optical in for player devices and optical out in case you want to hurl some of the absolute power to an A/V receiver. The metallic encasing that holds the primary chip connector and the great use of high quality parts make you appreciate the thought that went into everything for this $150 sound card.

The following are the specs as listed by Creative:

    Hahha. I was thinking the same. Mighty fine. Can tell it’s in a studio because it has like light reflectors on 1 previous image. Definitely not cheap

    Quite possibly the best review of a sound card I’ve seen to date. Usually all WiG reviews are cool. Going to buy this too. Golden choice bitches!
