Creative SXFI THEATER 2.4GHz Low Latency Wireless Headphones Review

Audio/Others by stefan @ 2020-02-05

After creating the profile in the SXFI mobile application, we went ahead and installed SXFI Control for easy upload purposes, while leaving the EQ in neutral position. We did listen to quite a bit of YouTube clips, 1080P and 4K TV Shows/Movies but also played Injustice 2, SWTOR and Resident Evil 2: Creative’s implementation of holographic audio really makes a difference and offers a very nice experience even when only voices are involved. Besides really great virtual 7.1 positioning, we have found that the bass levels do not decrease when enabling Super X-Fi technology as we have seen with other surround sound implementations, which adds even more to the immersion.

Creative has also developed a secondary application to use with the product, which is really easy to use and we have found this one to be the ideal one for uploading profiles in just a second!

If you have multiple profiles uploaded, all of it will be displayed for selection purposes:

 

 

 

In the EQ tab, we will be able to adjust the 10-band EQ, but also work separately with the Bass/Treble sliders:

 

 

 

 

A lot of presets are available as well:

 

 

 

The RGB lighting can be configured with the color of our choice from the next tab; RGB on headsets is pretty much useless on headsets, since you cannot see it while in operation anyway, so Creative has kept the configuration quite simple. Also, in order to get the best battery life, you can turn off the RGB lighting completely:

 

 

The audio channels of the headset can be configured and is in sync with the Windows speaker configuration:

 

 

 

From the Mixer tab, we can also adjust the Volume levels of the Headset/Microphone:

 

 

 

The Settings area does have a General tab, from where we can select the GUI language, enable the tutorial or check for application updates:

 

 

 

Finally, we have the Device tab, that allows us to reset the configuration to default, but also check for dongle firmware updates:
