Tech review: Creative Sxfi Gamer offers surround sound at a good price

Local audio firm Creative's Super X-Fi headphone holography technology recreates surround sound with a realistic sense of depth, space and detail.

Each ear cup has a replaceable leatherette memory foam cushion, with a ring of RGB lighting on its exterior. By default, it is lit in a turquoise hue when powered on. Also included with the Sxfi Gamer is a 3.5mm audio cable, a braided Kevlar USB-C-to-USB-C cable and a USB-C-to-USB-A adapter. This adapter comes in handy when you are using the headset with devices that do not have a USB-C port, such as the PS4 gaming console.

If you have not used an Sxfi product before, you have to download the Sxfi mobile app to set up an Sxfi personalised profile before you can use the Sxfi Control app . The Sxfi Control app also lets you tweak the equaliser settings and customise the colour and effects of the lighting rings around the ear cups.

Audio quality is superb, with the 50mm neodymium drivers pumping out thumping bass, clear mids and detailed highs. When playing games, I can discern my virtual teammates' cries amid the mayhem of explosions and bullet screeches, while watching Avengers: Endgame on my MacBook Pro was a cinemtic experience in which I can hear where the action is coming from.
