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 Head & Ear-Mapping process.
Super X-Fi
CINEMATIC SOUND
The SXFI THEATER brings the movie theater to you in the form of audio holography. What sets it apart is our Super X-Fi personalization process - where you'll be guided through a Head and Ear-Mapping process that custom tunes audio to your very own ears. Whether you're streaming the latest 4K movie off iTunes, or watching compressed clips off YouTube, the audio is as good as the real cinema!
GEN2 IS HERE!
Super X-Fi Gen2 is a result of our continuous research effort. With our improved AI engine and tweaks along the way, you can expect Super X-Fi Gen2 to work better across a broader range of content, especially for movies and games.
Specifically, there are 4 main areas of improvements:
IMPROVED SURROUND SOUND CONFIGURATION
Hear more details in your surround sound configuration and enjoy more precise audio cue positioning when watching movies or playing games
CLEARER DIALOGUES IN MOVIES
With Super X-Fi Gen2, dialogues are clearer than ever so you can pay full attention to what's happening on the screen
STUDIO-LIKE MUSIC LISTENING EXPERIENCE
Enhanced audio fidelity in Gen2 coupled with the Super X-Fi holographic audio effect gives you a listening experience as though you're at the recording studio
MORE EFFICIENT POWER CONSUMPTION
Improved AI engine also brings about more efficient power usage. This translates to approximately 10% lower battery consumption for SXFI AIR and SXFI AMP!
Gen2 is available for all SXFI customers! Once your setup is done, your device will automatically upgrade to the latest firmware version available. Check if your device has the latest firmware here.
DETACHABLE GAMING MIC
Fitted with a detachable gaming mic which has been engineered for clear communications, SXFI THEATER is an excellent headphone choice for gamers who favor an immersive experience in game titles with cinematic audio.
WIRELESS, LOW-LATENCY AUDIO
Experience the full Super X-Fi cinematic audio at the comfort of your home without lag! SXFI THEATER comes without the hassle of tangled wires and is optimized for impeccable audio and video sync for low-latency audio.
And when compared to Bluetooth®, SXFI THEATER is capable of better quality audio transmission with higher reliability. This is made possible through its SXFI TX, a wireless USB dongle with the built-in UltraDSP that powers the Super X-Fi technology, and a proprietary digital audio transmission technology. A separate USB Extension dock (1.2m / 3.94 ft) is provided to extend the range of SXFI THEATER.
Put simply, enjoy smooth and uninterrupted movie playtime without the annoying lag in Bluetooth headphones.
PASSIVE MODE
We've also included a 3.5 mm AUX-in cable for your other non-USB devices. Super X-Fi will not be available in this option.

REVIEWS
Gamespot
The SXFI Theater is a fantastic gaming headset, despite its microphone woes. The Super X-Fi surround-sound technology is the stand-out feature and has made the Theater my go-to headset for all of my gaming sessions. If you're looking for an awesome audio experience to accompany your gameplay, then the SXFI Theater will not disappoint.
Tech Radar
Movies and TV shows sounded great, giving us a wide soundstage to listen to, providing more depth to the audio engineering that went into the content. When we watched Iron Man 3, for example, we could feel the effect go to work with all the various sound effects coming from different directions.
3.5/5 Stars

In my time as a writer for GBAtemp, no product has better justified its premium price point as the Creative SXFI Theater have. Where other low latency headsets I've used have put forward audio that sounds perfect to what I remember it should, these go beyond. From the clicks the Switch menu makes to elaborate title screen melodies, films, music, it hits every note to an exceptional and engrossing degree. These are headphones for gamers, streamers, audiophiles, film fanatics; they're an all-round treat for anybody fortunate enough to experience them. If you're in the market for some new headphones, I urge you to consider these. At £190, they're worth waiting for, and they're more than worth saving for.
