Creative Launches Super X-Fi® Worldwide

Mind-blowing Headphone Holography Technology

Rewrites Headphone History

Creative Technology today announced the worldwide launch of the Super X-Fi headphone holography technology – an industry game-changer which will change the way one listens to headphones forever.

Super X-Fi recreates the soundstage of a multi-speaker surround system in a pair of headphones, and personalizes it by scanning the user’s head and ears, so that the custom-fit audio experience becomes natural like never before.

Previewed in its prototype form last year, Super X-Fi was awarded ‘Best of CES 2018’ by AVS Forum, and many audio pundits, reviewers and users were blown away by the unprecedented levels of realism created by Super X-Fi in headphones. Since then, Super X-Fi has captured the imagination of users with the release of the first commercial product, the SXFI AMP - which packs the mind-blowing headphone holography technology and a premium headphone amplifier into a dongle no larger than a finger. The SXFI AMP offers the best of these two worlds for users who prefer to use their own headphones to enjoy Super X-Fi.

Following up on that is the latest addition to the product range - the Creative SXFI AIR series, the world’s first headphones to incorporate the Super X-Fi UltraDSP chip. The SXFI AIR is a Bluetooth and USB headphone with Super X-Fi and other innovative features. The SXFI AIR C is an entry-level USB headphone with Super X-Fi aimed at the gaming market. These innovations offer compatibility options for Android and iOS devices, and for platforms including PS4, Nintendo Switch, Mac and PC.

“Super X-Fi is the latest manifestation of Creative’s ethos to create the ultimate audio experience for our users; I consider it no lesser than an audio revolution. With just a pair of headphones powered by Super X-Fi, one can now watch movies as if at the cinema, listen to music as if at a live concert, and play games feeling like being in the game environment itself. Listening to headphones will never be the same again,” said Sim Wong Hoo, CEO of Creative Technology.
