After a limited launch in Singapore, Creative's "Super X-Fi" headphone amplifier is finally coming to the US. Orders open at 12AM on November 1, and Creative says the amp will cost $165, including shipping and handling. As they said back in September, Creative thinks the new amplifier will be a revolution in 3D audio tech, and an ever increasing number of reviewers are coming away from demos with very positive impressions. Whether the actual product is as good as Creative's demo remains to be seen, but we'll find out soon enough. Thanks to mjz_5 for the tip. We are proud to share that over 99% of folks who bought the SXFI AMP are very satisfied! This is way beyond my wildest dreams. Honestly, I would have been ecstatic if we had achieved anything close to 80%. For this we would like to say a big thank you to all our customers for their support. This is what the team has worked so hard for. To make your headphone experience sound as good as the real thing," said Sim Wong Hoo, CEO of Creative Technology, and creator of Super X-Fi. "For the remaining less than 1%, I'm not giving up on winning them over. From the recent interactions in Singapore, we now understand their needs better. We believe we can scale Super X-Fi technology to suit them, while maintaining the magic."
