Creative Zen Hybrid SXFI

[Jurong640]

Just got this headphones after seeing the TikTok live by creative. Went ahead to bought it. I'm quite impressed with it's sound. Especially with its SXFI mode on. Then new SXFI headphones no need to use SXFI app or any local music on device. Connect and play and it's all good, there is a dedicated SXFI button.

If you are listening to Tidal or Apple Music high Res music, the music is solid. A good buy. Sound can hear difference when listening to classical, it's more richer.



I switched over from wireless ear buds, from creative auvana ace 2

This sxfi is for what? Surround sound!? How the battery life?

SXFI "The Super X-Fi © (SXFI) series bring a new sense of clarity and immersion by recreating the experience of a high-end multi-speaker system with the same expansive depth, details, and soundstage. By combining both platform and technology, SXFI can also apply to streaming contents on Spotify, YouTube, Netflix, and more!"

For SXFI, those music that uses instruments, you can hear it in very clarity. Soundstage is good. When you listen to songs via Tidal or Apple Music in high res, it really feel like you're in studio or concert

I bought the first gen SXFI Theater back when it was launched a few years ago. The one main gripe I have with headphones using pleather headband and earpads is that, in tropical country like ours (heat and humidity), the headband and earpads started flaking after a year or two, causing me to leave it alone for a while (even thought of throwing it away).

I'd recently bought earpad replacements and headband covers so I can use the headphone again. The SXFI button enables a more open sound to me, don't think it helps much with 'surround sound', but instead of dialog and sound sounding 'centered' like normal cans, it opens up the sound to make it more like 'room feel' ('like', not the exactly same as from speakers) I enjoy it for movies, and even for gaming.

The Pleather, or whatever, that is used is of low quality and will deteriorate over a relatively short time. The headband cover and earpads have made a lot of difference, heck even think my SXFI Theater is more comfortable now....
