Creative Zen Air SXFI review

01 September 2024
We test out Creative's first earbuds with native Super X-Fi spatial audio support.

Sort by:

Ive owned a pair of these for a few weeks now and theyre great. ANC is mid and transparency is pretty bad but everything else is very good at this price point. I use the bluetooth multipoint to connect to both my phone and Steam Deck, but the Deck connection doesnt work half the time (my only real complaint).

    Trash product from Creative again. Get something decent from Jabra.

            AAC codec is known to be power hungry for the CPU since decades ... avoid it at any cost. by TWS with aptX or LDAC

                I wish Creative would release earbuds with Crystalizer feature that is built-in on hardware level, so you can enable it on earbuds and it would work on ANY audio signal that goes through it, regardless of what device you use. I've been using Crystalizer ever since it was introduced back on X-Fi soundcards. That's almost 20 years ago and it's great for low fi content like MP3's. I'd love to have that directly on earbuds. Sony offers their take on "enhancing" audio, but it only works with their Android app which is just useless when I mostly use earbuds on laptop and for gaming on my desktop so I'm not loud in the late evenings.

                  In ear canal type, lets hope they make regular buds too for people that are not able to use in ear canal buds.

                  Anyhow, they look like a fine product.
