X-Plus Mode
Only when paired with the Sound BlasterX H5, this mode allows you to switch from the exclusive sound of the H5 headset when connected to the G1 sound card to a hardware level for an unfair advantage over your opponents across our ever-expanding list of supported games.

X-Plus mode accentuates audio for what matters most in a competitive game and minimizes it for what doesn’t. Hear footsteps, gunshots, and other audio cues better and clearer without being distracted by ambient noise.

Best of all, the settings are programmed directly into the G1 so you can enjoy this setup wherever your tournament takes place without having to worry about software installations when you're away from home.
