HOLOGRAPHIC AUDIO — UNIQUE TO YOU, PERSONALIZED FOR YOU.
Imagine capturing the listening experience of a high-end multi-speaker system in a professional studio, and recreating the same expansive experience — with the same original depth, detail, realism, and immersiveness — in your headphones.
Each of us hears the world differently — our unique head and ear shapes affect how we perceive sound. Super X-Fi personalizes the headphone audio experience based on how you hear sound to give you the most optimized and realistic listening experience.
This is done by simply taking three photos of your face and ears with your phone.
SXFI APP
Personalize your Super X-Fi profile through an advanced Ear & Head-Mapping process.
MUSIC
Experience music on your headphones where audio sounds natural again, not the claustrophobic sound pumped directly into your ears. Feel as if you're listening to the recording artist in a studio!
Try out some old mono tracks from the golden age and you'll be amazed how Super X-Fi transforms the music into something magical.
MOVIES
Immerse yourself in a holographic audio experience whenever you are with your headphones. Super X-Fi is capable of transforming videos into full-fledged, cinematic audio experience.
USB MODE FOR PC/Mac: Because of transmission latency issues inherent in all Bluetooth devices, movies transmitted over Bluetooth will have a slight lag in the audio. The SXFI AIR features a USB mode that allows you to enjoy great latency-free Super X-Fi movies on your PC/Mac.
GAMES
Enjoy games with the full cinematic capabilities of Super X-Fi! The soundstage of the game opens up, presenting you with a real-life holographic audio experience, as if you were actually transported into the game environment itself. Your games will never sound the same anymore!
Audio Quality
SERIOUS AUDIO PERFORMANCE
The Creative SXFI AIR's built-in Super X-Fi technology rests on its foundation of audio performance. The Creative SXFI AIR boasts 50mm Neodymium drivers that are specially tuned to deliver audio that is powerful while maintaining accuracy, an essential attribute for music and movie buffs.
CLEAR COMMUNICATION AUDIO
The Creative SXFI AIR features a NanoBoom microphone that allows you to take calls on your phone and communicate with friends. The microphone boasts the same audio recording capabilities as a full-sized gaming headset microphone, and is also detachable.
“SUPER X-FI” YOUR PHONE CALLS
Calls will never be the same again! With Super X-Fi, experience the mind-bending holographic reality of the caller being in the same room as you. And with the SXFI AIR's highly sensitive NanoBoom mic, your friends will hear you loud and clear.
BLUETOOTH CONNECTIVITY FOR PHONES AND TABLETS
With Super X-Fi built into the heart of the Creative SXFI AIR, users can enjoy the wonder of full audio holography with music that's as good as the real thing from all kinds of streaming services. For example, you can hear old favourite tunes from Spotify in a completely new way!
DEVICE-FREE WITH SD CARD CONNECTIVITY
The Creative SXFI AIR can play music without relying on a source device. Simply insert a microSD card pre-loaded with your favourite songs into the Creative SXFI AIR and you can enjoy the wonder of the Super X-Fi experience.
USB CONNECTIVITY
FOR PC AND MAC
This advanced feature lets you enjoy the full glory of up to 7.1 Cinematic games and movies in Super X-Fi on your PC and Mac!
More than that, the same USB functionality is available on the PS4 and Nintendo Switch.
REPLACEABLE FABRIC EARCUPS
The Creative SXFI AIR features comfortable fabric earcups. The fabric is breathable, allowing for heat from the listener's ears to dissipate, giving you a more comfortable experience. Built-in memory foam conforms to the listener's head for additional comfort. The earcups are also replaceable, so users can opt to switch them out for leatherette earcups (sold separately) if desired.
PERFECTLY BALANCED CLAMPING FORCE
Optimized clamping force is essential when creating an incredible headset. The Creative SXFI AIR has a clamping force that is perfectly balanced, making it loose enough to be comfortable but tight enough to stay on the listeners head.
EASY TOUCH CONTROLS
Control all playback with a simple touch or swipe! The Creative SXFI AIR features touch controls built into the left earcup, so users can answer a call, skip the song, or turn up the volume.
FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE
RGB RING
Hear your audio in a new light! With 16 million different colors to choose from, the Creative SXFI AIR with its customizable light ring can match any outfit you choose. Users can choose colors with the downloadable SXFI AIR Control app for iOS and Android.

(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.

Expert Reviews
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.

Games Radar
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*

Super sound quality.
A. Tan
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.
