(With SXFI on) It feels like it went from listening to someone in the next room to the wall coming down. They’re incredible, they make me feel giddy like a child.

The SXFI AIR are a great pair of headphones for audiophiles who desire an immersive listening experience for music, entertainment, and non-FPS gaming. These headphones will let you privately enjoy surround sound, without bothering your neighbors.

I fired up one of my favourite Carlos Santana songs, “Africa Bamba” – and was shocked straight away. I’m used to hearing Santana’s guitar at the centre of a virtual soundstage but, through the SXFI Air, it sounded exactly as if he were playing in front of me. It’s a mind-blowing effect, unlike anything I’ve heard before.

During games of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey the SXFI AIR captured not only the incidental details of the world and the booming action noises, but it was also able to accurately convey the nuances of the dialogue without me having to tweak a single pre-set...I also tried the SXFI AIR with Life is Strange 2, Gnog, and Shadow of the Tomb Raider - and it adapted perfectly regardless of what was thrown at it. This is a seriously versatile pair of cans, perfect for gaming … *Included in 'Best Headsets for PS4' list*

Even more dramatic is the improvement while watching (Avengers) Infinity War, with the sound of super-heroes zooming and panning smoothly across the screen. And some of the large-scale battle scenes with rival armies charging across the plains of Wakanda almost feel as though I’m listening to an expensive multi-speaker surround sound system. Switching back to Queen again, the wired connection helps to deliver a much greater sense of space as Brian May’s guitar solos go bouncing from left-to-right, and the operatic chorus on Bohemian Rhapsody sounds truly epic as the SXFI effect allows it to really open up and deliver a sonic punch.

They do have some great features like thick earpads, customizable RGB lighting rings, and an option to play music off a built-in SD card slot, a feature I particularly like. Battery life is pretty great as well, and the overall build quality feels sturdy.

Pick any track in mono channel (there are plenty on YouTube) and this is where the Super X-FI shows off its potential. The audio comes alive and the sense of depth, clarity and imaging is fantastic and engaging.

The Creative Super X-Fi headphones are one-of-a-kind; no other headphones produce an audio experience close to what’s on offer here. Tech Advisor Recommended!

Compared to the SXFI Air C before it, the SXFI Air is a much better manifestation of the promise of Creative’s Super X-Fi technology. There’s much more versatility in terms of the audio sources you can pair the headphones with so you can really enjoy the Super X-Fi experience everywhere. The Super X-Fi effect with these headphones also seems more consistent, so there’s less drop-off in performance moving from source to source.

If you’re a gamer who wants an affordable headset that can be brought out publicly without screaming, “I’m a gamer,” yes. The microphone is excellent, as is sound quality. While Super X-Fi listening isn’t the best for podcasts, it makes gaming and cinema noticeably more immersive. I do wish the headphones folded, but it’s a small sacrifice to make for these otherwise excellent $160 headphones.

After using the SXFI Amp for months with various premium headphones, the SXFI Air turns out to be the best headphones to enjoy Super X-Fi holographic audio experience..And thanks to the finer tweaks on the EQ, I am able to better enjoy the out-of-the-head audio experience that Mr. Sim fervently evangelises.

When using Super X-Fi there is a true sense of depth to any source material chucked at it. Take for example Battlefield V, you actually feel like you are in the field, part of the horrific war, you can hear the bullets from a distance, bombs dropping, everything felt more precise. Playing Resident Evil and all its jump scares, from a distance, to close up, all gave a true sense of immersion. I am not going to lie here, Dolby Atmos also gives the sense of being surrounded, but the added sense of depth and distance created with Super X-Fi just encapsulates your hearing experience in all new ways.

The wired mode really shows off the SXFI holographic audio to best effect, adding a dramatic sense of space to music, games and video alike.

Once you setup the SXFI Air, it is a breeze to use. The Super X-FI has become my benchmark in listening to music. With wireless, it has become more convenient as compared to the SXFI Amp. Love that the pad can be removed for maintenance and the NanoBoom Mic is working well (and also can be removed).

Creative's Super X-Fi technology is impressive, making it sound like you're actually listening to external speakers positioned around a room as opposed to a pair of headphones, adding depth and richness to the audio. The SXFI Air utilizes this tech and works great with the Nintendo Switch's Bluetooth transmitters. Whether you're trotting around your island in Animal Crossing: New Horizons or soaring through the air in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, the sound quality is incredible and brings the game world to life. If you're looking for one of the most unique--and best--audio experiences, then there's no better choice than the SXFI Air.

You haven’t heard your favorite band until you’ve heard them singing their entire discography in a quiet room with just you in the audience. It may never happen in real life, so these headphones are probably as close as you’ll get. If this sounds at all appealing or intriguing to you, I’d suggest giving the Creative SXFI AIR a try. Who knows, it may just change the way you listen to music forever!

Super sound quality.

An amazing product. Great for moviies and music. Great on youtube music videos especially. Tried it on some games and the effect was fantastic. Was also using it on flights and the earcups effectively blocked out almost 50% of the engine noise, and once the sxfi was turned on, the overall effect is as good as the noise canceling earphones I had previously. Will not trade this for another.

Great! Excellent

with SXFI enabled, watching a movie or playing a game feels like the sound is coming out from the screen infront of me. Thumbs up for this product.

Super value for this price! Really good sound, and very comfortable to wear. Highly recommended for anyone who is on a budget but wants a high quality headphone.

Great piece of work, it is definitely an enjoyable sound quality!

Fantastic quality sound and comfortable ear pads.

This is a very good-looking an classy design. The lighting accents go well with a gamer’s style as well as a professional’s. The matte black finish does not attract dust or fingerprints. The physical controls on the left ear up are easy to locate and get used to. The ability to use them via Bluetooth, USB-C to USB-A, or with a 3.5mm cable -and even with an micro-SD card, is very welcome, making them very extremely versatile. The Bluetooth connection is not the best as I did experience some stability and connection issues but not overly distracting. Battery can get you through an entire day. They are comfortable to wear because of the plush, mesh fabric ear pads which rest around the ears. The clamping is decent but not excessive making them secure on the head. However, after wearing them non-stop for about 3 hours, i did experience fatigue from the head band, which is made of soft pleather, and I think it might need additional padding. This is nothing a little break can resolve. The touch controls are OK. I had some response issues while using them in Bluetooth mode. Again, this is not a huge deal but worth mentioning. These headphones sound good -not great, but good enough. The bass is a bit heavy but not overbearing. The mids are clear but a bit pushed back, and the highs are present without being too piercing. They work well with bass-heavy music, games and movies. However, I would not recommend them for high-quality music (if you listen to high-fidelity sound you probably have specific cans). However, the star of the show is the SXFI experience. One needs to download an app, do a headshot scanning and set them up on a mobile device (which is a bit of a pain). Once activated with a button push, the sound signature changes dramatically. While some directional clarity may be lost, the sound does become much clearer, the bass is punchy and the space awareness is amplified incredibly. It is almost like being transported to a huge room or hall with speakers outside of your head. The end-result is quite immersive. This works best while playing games or watching movies. Music is more subjective, and there were times where I turned it off. However, i did enjoy live or concert music with SXFI on. Overall, while these headphones have some flaws, and sound experience is highly subjective, my experience was enjoyable. The connectivity options, the comfort, and SXFI make these headphones easy for me to recommend.

Best headset I've ever had.

Just like listening from open speakers, makes you forget that you were wearing headphones.

Excellent product, sounds amazing and ease of use and versatility second to none

another superb product by creative.. love it in every aspect!

Very balanced tuning to these headphones. No overwhelming bass to my ears, but tuned just the right amount if you like balanced sound. I'm sure with the right EQ settings the bass can be set to your liking.

definitely worth the price, sound quality exceed the the same price range of other brands.

Versatile headset for mobile and pc.

I love the SXFI difference, makes watching movies very engaging and immersive.
