Creative SXFI GAMER USB-C Gaming Headset Review

Audio/Others by stefan @ 2021-01-06

After installing the headset on our test system and modifying the initial settings a bit in order to fit our preferences, we have tested it while playing Doom Eternal, Gears 5 but also Dark Pictures: Man of Medan. The SXFI headphone holography really adds quite a bit of atmosphere to the games, the “Battle Mode” enhancing the way you figure out how the enemies are positioned around you.

CommanderMic comes with a flexible body and is fully removable from the chassis of the SXFI Gamer headset; it uses a 3.5mm jack interface:

The body of the microphone is protected by a larger plastic chassis which also integrates a pop filter; it also includes a Mute LED for signaling the user the current operating mode, while the SXFI inPerson Microphone technology does use an algorithm to effectively detect human voice and eliminating the other ambient noises.

The headset is mainly made of plastic components (lightweight) but feels solid and does not creak when flexed:

On the exterior of the cups, we will note a closed design and a RGB enabled pattern, highlighting the SXFI headphone holography feature:

The headband can be adjusted as necessary and does also include markings for more symmetry:
