Creative SXFI AIR Gaming Review

I’ve tested literally hundreds of headsets over the years, but there’s only one I used these days. Would it surprise you to learn that it’s made by Creative? For me, the SXFI Theater has (so far) been unbeatable. Speaking to others within the industry and friends of mine, once you’ve gotten hooked on SXFI’s holography technology, it’s difficult to leave it. The SXFI Gamer was a welcome addition to the range last year, offering similar technology to the Theater, but since it was wired, it was a little bit less expensive and offered a new gaming audio profile. However, the SXFI AIR Gaming looks to give gamers the same high-end treatment movie lovers got with the SXFI Theater. That being said, I use my Theater headset for all my calls, gaming, movies, and music alike and have done for two years now, so I will be able to say how well this new one compares confidently.

Features

  • Bluetooth 5.0 Wireless
  • USB-C and 3.5mm Wired
  • SXFI Battle Mode
  • Commander Micr
  • Protein Leather Earpads
  • 50mm Neodymium Drivers
  • Custom-Designed Kevlar USB-C Cable
  • All New GamerChat Feature
  • RGB Light Rings

What Creative Had to Say

Introducing the ultimate Hybrid Headphone Holography with SXFI AIR GAMER—a versatile wired gaming headset with Bluetooth® 5.0—that gives you the freedom to plug into any compatible device of your choice or connect wirelessly to enjoy personalized Super X-Fi Headphone Holography audio!

SXFI AIR GAMER debuts our latest audio innovation—the GamerChat feature—to deliver Super X-Fi’s holographic audio effects for your game over USB and mobile chat over Bluetooth so you can answer a call mid-game on the same headset, or even chat with teammates on platforms that don’t usually offer voice chat, like Nintendo Switch.

For FPS gamers, turn on the SXFI BATTLE Mode to hear your opponents’ movements and location with impeccable accuracy for that winning edge! It also has a playtime of up to 11 hours, and comes with both the discreet NanoBoom mic and the pro-grade CommanderMic with inPerson® Microphone Technology. This nifty gaming headset lets you enjoy the best of both worlds and experience an unbelievable level of realism in your headphones that sounds as good as the real thing.
