Xbit takes on the Creative Labs SoundBlaster X-Fi and has this to say...

"Well, we have just got acquainted with the true successor to the legendary sound card family from Creative. It is very nice that the company decided to continue working on the sound processing algorithms focusing on the realistic sounding for headphone listening. This is a pretty logical solution, especially since most users prefer headphones to the traditional acoustic systems. X-Fi will be a true gift for gaming fans, because all new games are expected to support EAX 5.0."

Headphones? I dig my Logitech Z-680s personally... Our assessment of the X-Fi is here, for your edification as well.
