Just recently we have received another interesting product from Creative in our labs: this time it is a wireless (2.4GHz) headset with a very good battery life, comfortable to use with an over-ear earcup design and sporting support for the Super X-Fi technology. The SXFI THEATER allows the user to enable holography for all audio content such as movies, music or games, with or without using the dedicated software applications thanks to a single dedicated button.

As we have mentioned in the Outlier Gold article, Super X-Fi technology from Creative does use computational audio in order to recreate the listening experience of a multi-speaker system present inside a professional studio by creating the same expansive natural experience. In order to permit this, the user must create a profile by mapping the head and his/her ears and this will be simply done by taking photos of your head via the smartphone application; the profile will then be uploaded to the cloud for later use.

The product is shipped inside a compact cardboard enclosure, highlighting the Super X-Fi technology; here we will also learn of the wireless, low-latency audio capabilities of the product:

On one of the box sides, we will get to see that the product is compatible with the SXFI TV box (not available at the current moment), PC/MAC but also PS4 and Nintendo Switch:

The hardware specifications are listed as well, together with the package contents:

Some more information about the product is available on the back, along with the list of applications that were designed to work together: SXFI mobile app and the SXFI Control PC & Mac apps:

Right after unsealing the box, we will spot another advert for the Super X-Fi headphone holography:

The headset is carefully protected inside a black plastic mold, while the documentation can be found inside a separate plastic bag:

The first document does mention how to create your SXFI profile via the smartphone application and how to upload it to the headset without installing SXFI Control utility:

SXFI THEATER does feature a sturdy, premium look with large earcups and thick enough ear pads:
