Difference between Creative Sound Blaster Z and Zx

[Riff3r]

Hello everyone. I'm new in this forum.
I have Logitech z506 and I'm planing to buy a good sound card for my speaker.
I have decide to go with Creative z or zx.
My main concern is Listening music and watching movie. Then gaming.
If you have any suggestion about better card in this price range plz suggest me and tell me what is the difference between Z and Zx.

Audio Control Module (with Beamforming Microphone Built-in) :

The best Card for music is the ZXR , but it is expensive.

If the Zxr is out of his range so would be the Phoebus, which reading the reviews on have major issues with drivers and with other problems. Then again, for some reason many sound cards seem to have driver problems.

The beam mic on the Z and Zx works very well.

i would get the module, as a heavy headphone user for work calls, it is alot more convenient to have the headphone plugs somewhere in front of you on the desk, not in some unreachable place far away that shortens the cable lenght, and then you stand up with headphones on your head and stuff starts to break and fly all around the place...
but that's just me, and i keep my pc as far away as possible for noise reasons...
