With the SXFI Gamer headset, Creative is bringing their awarded audio holography to the gaming crowd, also including a professional streaming microphone with noise cancellation. The SXFI Gamer does also include a Super X-Fi BATTLE mode profile which enhances specific sounds such as footsteps or gun reloads so you will know where the enemies are coming from. Of course, the headset can be also used with the SXFI regular profile, which is more aimed towards music and movies, an algorithm which can be fine-tuned and uploaded to the SXFI Gamer after it has been generated via the companion application (mobile version).
