- Does the Sound BlasterX H6 store settings for customization, or do I need to keep changing my settings every time I use the headset? Changes made via Sound Blaster Connect are stored only on the PC, and not in the headset itself.
Disconnecting the Sound BlasterX H6 from a PC where the settings are customized will make it revert to its default settings.
