It is not a huge difference. I have happily played games with both.
I have very small ears and the s12 always slowly fall out. The ie200 fit is better for me and stay put. I may be biased just because the fit is better on the ie200.
SBX is the G3/G6 faked 7.1 and I don't care for it. SXFI is another attempt by them and I also don't like it. Voices become metallic robots and everything sounds like you are in a massive cave.
All that stuff turned off and just receiving 7.1 signal seems to up clarity and seperation. Perhaps I'm just getting a less intrusive DSP that I find pleasing.
I agree about stereo music, or rather I'm not focused on music with this setup.
I will say the ie200 sounds better in games like Doom Eternal when a soundtrack kicks in vs the a4000.
