Creative Zen Hybrid Wireless Headphones with Hybrid ANC Review

Audio/Others by stefan @ 2022-10-11

We went ahead and started listening to multiple songs on YouTube, movie trailers, vlogs but also some TV shows and we immediately noticed a pleasing balance between all frequencies, with clearly rendered voices and enough bass but not as pronounced as you will find with many gaming headsets. These are great for multimedia consumption while on-the-go, while training but also while walking on the street thanks to the included ANC functions. One thing we did notice though is that Zen Hybrid is not very loud at the highest volume, when comparing headsets from other manufacturers such as SteelSeries, but those are in a completely different price range.

Packaging, A Closer Look Part I

In this article we will look at a compact, portable set of headphones with integrated ANC, great battery life and Bluetooth 5.0/analog 3.5mm stereo connectivity options. The Creative Zen Hybrid is aimed at users which are frequently on-the-go and would like to consume lots of multimedia content, while being isolated by the outside noise via ANC function but can also enable Ambient Mode while in heavy traffic areas to enhance awareness.

 

The product is shipped inside a compact cardboard enclosure, with the usual Creative box art colors. Right on the front, we will note the main product highlights, including the fact that we are dealing with an SXFI Ready product (Super X-Fi technology can be enjoyed by using the dedicated application on our smartphone, but only via the integrated music player and not other streaming apps such as Spotify, YouTube and so on):

 

 

 

On the side of the packaging, we will note the inside contents, shown as drawings:

 

 

 

The opposite area does offer some information regarding Super X-Fi technology, what is the name of the dedicated application, but also the technical specifications:

 

 

 

On the back, we will note a photo of the product along with explanations regarding the technologies it does incorporate:

 

 

 

Let’s unseal the box and look inside!

 

 

 

The headset comes protected inside a grey drawstring pouch but we will receive a re-sealable bag with extra stuff as well:

 

 

 

Inside the mentioned bag, we will note a leaflet mentioning online resources, the Quick Start Guide, another leaflet with instructions on how to download the SXFI application but also two separate cables:

 

 

 

The orange leaflet guides us to the Creative social media accounts, but also how to reach the support areas:
