Perhaps to elaborate a little: My computer has a "strong" sound card via PciE and an audio interface via USB. These two settings work separately from each other. These headphones are connected to the audio interface together with a microphone, and my "gaming headphones" run via the graphics card. I once connected these headphones to the sound card as a joke and set the sound card itself to not use an equaliser (i.e. "monitoring" for the game sound). The result was that you don't hear the usual rich bass effects and the game is generally less "bombastic". I then reconnected the headphones to the audio interface for monitoring. It would be throwing pearls before swine to use these headphones only for gaming. That's not what they're made for, and it's not where they really shine. I would recommend closed-back headphones unless you actually want headphones for streaming (i.e., a home studio). For a home studio, the headphones are just right.
I think you get the most out of everything with the headphones. It's worlds better than all the other headsets. I have these on a laptop in the office. Very comfortable to wear and top sound.
Unfortunately, I can't find anything about the Soundblaster Zx's built-in amplifier. I use the headphones with the Audioengine D1 and am very satisfied with them. Presumably the headphones are relatively quiet on the Soundblaster Zx.
